When Liam returned to Riverbay Residence, Amelia still hadn't come back yet.Liam stood at the staircase and gazed at the empty house. He felt a sense of emptiness.Then, he took out his phone, intending to call her. However, as he unlocked the screen, a browser notification popped up."Gathering of the Backbone of Astra Interrupted by the President Bringing a Woman Along."Liam instinctively clicked on the intriguing title.Astra's president was Eric, and Amelia was the woman he had been closely associated with recently.As he viewed the pictures in the article, he couldn't help but tightly grip his phone.It wasn't his imagination. The fact was undeniable—that woman was indeed Amelia.Eric had brought her along to the gathering of the backbone of Astra. This was a clear indication of her high standing in his heart.Suddenly, a hint of bitterness crept into Liam's heart. His desire to call her had also dissipated.Instead, he called Gio."Yesterday, the shareholders propo
Several days passed without Amelia's return. Liam hadn't been closely following her activities either.When he eventually found out, Amelia's name had already sparked discussion within the entertainment industry."Mr. Prescott, about the script you mentioned last time, I heard the director and the investors are willing to cast a female lead from Astra," Gio nervously reported the latest developments.Since Liam expressed his interest in expanding into the entertainment industry, it seemed that he had engaged in a direct competition with Astra.Whenever Astra showed interest in a promising script, he would make a move to interfere. In the process, the Prescott Group had snatched two major productions from Astra.Although the current script mentioned was not a big-budget production, it had a renowned director. This managed to pique Liam's interest."Do I have to teach you how to handle this? Can't you figure it out yourselves?" Liam asked as he tossed aside the documents. He then n
Huddled in Alex's house, Amelia was undergoing intense questioning from her."I wasn't even sure if I would succeed myself, so I didn't tell you. I thought I'd let you know once things were settled," Amelia explained.Before she could inform Alex, the news had already become widely known."Does Liam know that you're entering the entertainment industry?" Alex asked.Amelia shook her head. After the news spread, she promptly turned off her phone."You!" Alex shook her head in disbelief. "See, you didn't discuss this with him in advance. He's definitely furious, and he might even come storming in. And don't forget about your mother-in-law; she must have a lot to say.""I know." Amelia looked disheartened.She had considered all these things when making her decision, but she had no other choice."Stepping into the entertainment industry is the quickest way I can think of to make money," Amelia said.As they were discussing, there was a knock on the door. Then, the knocking go
"She's Madam Amelia from the Prescott family; there's no need for her to hustle outside. It's not like I don't give her money. If she's feeling bored, I can arrange for someone to provide lessons for her at home. It's time she learns how to manage her own finances as well. All wealthy ladies have their own funds, and she's no exception." Liam snorted coldly.Upon hearing this, Alex was somewhat bewildered. She hastily turned to look at Amelia.Amelia shook her head, appearing to be perplexed as well. She had no idea about the fund Liam had mentioned."Have you ever asked me? Have you ever sought my help when you needed it? You'd rather turn to outsiders instead of talking to me!" Liam exclaimed.He wore an accusing look as he continued, "I've been managing your funds for you. But have I taken from it? I've given you a card; all the earnings are in there."Amelia hurriedly retrieved a card from her bag. "Are you referring to this?" she asked.Liam glanced at the card and placed
Amelia returned to Riverbay Residence with Liam. As she stood in the living room, she felt things were somewhat surreal. She couldn't believe that she had been convinced to return just like this."Tell me the reason you want to act." After handing her belongings to May, Liam stared intently at her.After a period of cooling off, both of them had calmed down.Amelia recalled Alex's words. "Share your thoughts with him. He's not an unreasonable person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered talking to you for so long.""I want to earn money," Amelia said with determination.Liam looked at her in surprise. "I've given you money." Then, his expression darkened as he pulled out the card he had taken and placed it on the coffee table. "I've given you money. Why aren't you using it?""That's your money. I don't want it.""Why don't you want my money?" Liam furrowed his eyebrows and stared at her stubborn face. He couldn't fathom what Amelia truly desired.She was his wife, wouldn't us
Amelia could still hear the sound of things being smashed downstairs as she returned to her room. The loud noise made Amelia's heart tremble uncontrollably. It wasn't that Amelia wasn't scared. However, when fear and disappointment reached a certain limit, she would have to vent her emotions at some point. And the consequence of this was that she felt an even stronger impulse to defy Liam.Divorce! How dare she mention that word again? And in such a casual, nonchalant manner! How could she say it so quickly? Was their three years of marriage so insignificant to her? It was all because of Eric. Amelia would never have acted that way if it weren't for him. The anger in Liam's heart was boiling, making him lose control. He didn’t even know why he was so angry. Amelia woke up after a long nap.It was already 11 pm at night. Amelia rubbed her head. She had slept for so long that her head was starting to ache. Right at that moment, her stomach also growled.Ju
The following day, when Amelia went downstairs, she deliberately glanced at the dining table and looked for the bowl, but it was no longer there. "May, did you wash the bowl left on the table last night?" Amelia asked. May shook her head. "No, I didn't. I didn’t see any bowls when I got up this morning. Did you cook something last night?" Amelia smiled. "It's okay, I was just asking." May didn't wash the bowl, so Liam was the one who had washed the bowl. Amelia felt overjoyed at the thought. She had finally retaliated against him and got back at him for once. Liam did in fact end up washing the bowl. After Amelia had gone upstairs, Liam sat at the dining table. He stared at the bowl for nearly a minute, and then coldly laughed before going upstairs. However, as soon as he entered his room, he went back and quickly washed the bowl. He had even gotten his clothes wet because he was not used to it. In the morning, Liam recalled how Amelia got him to wash his bowl last ni
When Amelia finally saw Liam again, she had just returned from the set. Just as she had taken off her coat, she found a person lounging lazily on the couch watching TV. After a month and a half of not seeing him, Amelia was taken aback for a moment. "Madam, you're back. If you hadn't returned, I would have sent the driver to pick you up. It's raining heavily, and you've just gotten your driver's license. I was worried about you," May chattered. Hearing May's chattering, Amelia smiled. "I made it home safely, didn't I?" As she passed through the living room, Amelia hesitated for a moment, but she still walked over to Liam. "You're back." Liam glanced at her, his expression unreadable. He said nothing. He didn't respond, and Amelia felt a bit awkward. She stood up to go back to her room. "How's the filming?" Liam suddenly spoke.Amelia hesitated momentarily before smiling. "It's going quite smoothly. We should be wrapping up in about a month." Liam chuckled lightly
