last update Last Updated: 2023-10-30 22:29:05
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

    "What kind of spell did he cast on you to make you so reckless? Do you know that you’re not merely an actress, but also my wife, Mrs. Prescott? If these photos were to be leaked, your future would be utterly ruined!" Amelia pursed her lips tightly, glaring at him. "Can staring at me like this change your sleazy thoughts?" Liam said. There was a loud slap, and Liam looked at Amelia in disbelief. Under his intense gaze, even Amelia's hand trembled in mid-air. "I ... You shouldn't always speak so crudely." Her voice was soft. It was hard to hear that there was a slight quiver to it. "Do you know how difficult this past month has been for me? If it weren't for Eric helping me, I ... " Amelia started. She didn't regret choosing this path. However, she only realized how hard it would be after starting it. The biggest pressure on her wasn't from the Prescott family as she had initially imagined, but public opinion. "So what? You're so grateful to him, you even fell in love

    In the spacious living room, Amelia bent down and picked up the photos on the floor one by one. Each one of them pierced deep into her heart. She sat on the couch and slowly raised her hand. It was the same hand that had just slapped Liam moments ago. Before Liam went on a business trip, Alex had told her he treated her differently. She hadn't noticed it then, but today, she truly felt it. She had hit him, and although he was angry, he didn't lose his temper or retaliate. This was unusual for him. In the past, he wouldn’t let her off so quickly even though he distested confrontations with women. And although his words were harsh, he still had her best interest in mind when she thought about it. Amelia didn't know how long she had been sitting on the couch, but when she got up, her head was a bit dizzy. She stood still, supporting herself on the coffee table before walking away. In the master bedroom, Liam lay on the bed with a piece of paper over his face. It was

    "Get out, I want to sleep," Liam ordered, his voice cold. Amelia felt a bit uncomfortable and her heart was heavy. "I truly have no interest in him. We’re just friends. He helped me, and I'm grateful for it, but that's all there is." After some thought, she decided to explain. Liam turned to look at her. His lips were tightly pressed together, not saying a word. His silence gave her the courage to continue. "I'm new here, and even with someone backing me, there are still people who want to find fault with me. That day, I was bullied, but there was no evidence. I felt awful, and Eric happened to come by to visit. "I ... I didn't expect him to kiss me, but we didn't do anything beyond that one kiss. He apologized afterward." As Amelia spoke, she grew anxious. She feared Liam wouldn't believe her. "Recently, he invited me for dinner, but I didn’t agree." she added. Seeing her anxious expression, Liam couldn't muster any anger. "He helped me, and I'm grateful, but I also

    After returning home, Eric's mood remained gloomy.Hannah opened a bottle of wine and poured a glass for him. "Want some?"Eric glanced at her, took the glass, and gulped it down in one go.Hannah then quickly refilled his glass, and Eric drank everything again.Hannah chuckled lightly as she poured the wine for him. "Although drinking is bad for you, sometimes, it can be a way to drown your sorrows. But don't overdo it.""Why should I be sorrowful? What do I have to be sorrowful for?" Eric mocked himself and finished the wine in his glass. He then grabbed the bottle and poured himself another glass.As Hannah watched him, she couldn't help but say, "You indeed have nothing to be sorrowful about. You're quite fortunate compared to many ordinary people. "Take me, for example. I had to marry someone who doesn't love me just to survive. Even the parents I'd known for over 20 years were not really my parents."Eric smirked. "That was of your own doing. You insisted on marrying me

    Alex was resting on the bed when her phone rang.Seeing the name on the screen, she hesitated for a moment before answering."Have you made up your mind? When are you going to the hospital?"Hearing this, Alex chuckled. "I thought you called to say that you regretted your words. So, you just want to remind me to go to the hospital."Eric's voice was calm and distant as he said, "Delaying it will only harm you.""Yeah, that's why I've already gone to the hospital," Alex replied.Eric paused, seemingly surprised by her swift action. "Why didn't you call me? I could've accompanied you."Alex scoffed. "Since you don't care about me or the baby in my belly, why bother going to the hospital with me? Don't worry, even if I die on the operating table during the abortion, it's my own fault."Eric frowned. "You know I didn't mean that.""Yes, I know. You just said it out of guilt. So what if I purposely said that? Why should I feel sad alone? I want to provoke you, to make you feel trou

    After the banquet, Liam drove Amelia home."Thanks for helping me today," Amelia said.This was the first time they were together alone since they'd met the shy man.Liam smirked. "You don't have to thank me. I just spoke the truth and defended my own marriage."Amelia frowned. "What do you mean?""I meant exactly that!""Stop the car and explain yourself!"Liam then parked the car as instructed. Then, Amelia spoke seriously, "We've already divorced, but now you're saying that we're still married. What do you mean exactly?"Liam smiled. "Of course, it means that we're still husband and wife. What else could it be?""You!" Amelia was frustrated. "Can you speak plainly?"What exactly did Liam mean? Amelia was confused.Other people might not know, but Amelia was aware that they were divorced.

    Amelia didn't think Karen would act so quickly, and she found it difficult to refuse her after looking at her warm gaze."Mr. Prescott, the Lancasters have prepared a banquet to welcome Madam into the family. And they've invited many people, including some previous partners of the Lancaster Group and some members of the Prescotts. "However, we still haven't received an invitation. Do you think…" Gio was reporting to Liam about Amelia in the office.Liam snorted. "The Lancasters must have other intentions to organize the banquet. If they still want me to spare them and Leona, they shouldn't use this method to corner me. They're being so public about things and are putting so much effort into this banquet to force me to attend it."Gio looked puzzled.Liam continued, "Charles is a cunning old man. He begged me to let go of the Lancasters. But when I disagreed, he tried to approach Lia. He never thought she would refuse too. So, he's still furious about this. He's reluctant to give

    The Lancasters' businesses had been continuously taken away, and Leona was nowhere to be found. This frustrated Charles."As expected, people who didn't grow up in this family are so unreliable. It's such a simple matter that could've been solved had she said anything about it, but she just won't help!" Charles paced around the living room while complaining about his daughter.Meanwhile, Karen looked a little worn out as she sat on the couch. She frowned and said, "Stop pacing around. You're making me dizzy!"Charles glanced at her. "I'm just too worried. If the company doesn't get new orders, we won't be able to pay salaries, and we'll lose our employees. If that really happens, the company will go bankrupt!"Despite the urgency of the situation, he still listened to Karen and sat across from her.Hannah looked at the anxious Charles and sneered, saying, "Dad, don't you understand?
