"Mr. Prescott, Astra has agreed to terminate the contract on our terms," Gio reported. He wore a strange expression.

Liam was also puzzled since Astra had been resistant to this before.

"Was there an issue?" Liam asked.

"Today is the day Mrs. Prescott finishes filming the movie. I heard that Mr. Richards visited the set," Gio explained.

There was a glint in Liam's eyes. "I see."

He chuckled. "Let's proceed since they've agreed."

Liam also wanted to know if that man had genuinely given up or if he was planning something else.

Back at Riverbay Residence, Amelia was curled up on the couch watching TV.

Liam only noticed when he walked over that she had fallen asleep. His heart skipped a beat, and he felt flustered seeing Amelia peacefully asleep.

He reached out to lift her, but as he did, she opened her eyes.

Amelia felt uneasy as she thought about Eric’s words and his departing figure. The TV was on, but she couldn't focus. She didn't even know when she had fallen asle

    When Amelia woke up, her hand touched something warm. Then, she saw Liam’s exposed chest. Only then did she realize that she had moved back to the master bedroom. "Good morning!" Liam opened his eyes and kissed Amelia on the cheek. Amelia blushed and mumbled, "Good morning." Then, she quickly got out of bed. Liam suddenly smiled as he watched her nervous departure. They used to share a bed, but in retrospect, those days seemed distant now. She hadn't given him a deep impression back then. After having breakfast, Liam went to the office. Meanwhile, Amelia stayed at home to rest. Amelia was bored and called Alex to tell her about Liam. Upon hearing the news, Alex smugly said, "I told you, he's different when he's with you now. You didn't believe me." Amelia sighed. "Even now, I can hardly believe it. It feels like a dream." "Well, your doubt just shows that you've also fantasized about this kind of life. Now that it's happening, why aren't you happy?" Alex asked.

    "Generally speaking, in any case, that man is not worth trusting!" Amelia was startled and quickly asked, "Why?" "If that man truly loved that woman, he wouldn't give up the child. Similarly, if that man was trustworthy, he would take responsibility for the child." "But what if he had a valid reason?" Amelia asked. How could a man like Eric not be worth trusting? "Even with a valid reason, he shouldn't have toyed with a woman's innocence and a child's life!" Alex exclaimed. "How was it toying?" "How was it not? Why did he sleep with that woman if he was aware that he had a valid reason not to have a child? Why would he harm a woman and a child for a moment of pleasure?" Amelia was left speechless by Alex's words. "Wait a minute, Lia. Have you encountered something? Why do I feel like you're speaking up for him? Have you met someone new?" Alex asked. "No." "Is it Oscar?" Alex was certain of her guess and began to scold loudly, "It must be him! You don't know a lot

    Amelia had a pretty good idea of what Hannah would say. It all boiled down to trying to make Amelia give up!"I've never thought of it that way," she replied. It was the truth. Even when they shared a bed at night, and she woke up in Liam's arms in the morning, Amelia had never thought she would end up this way with Liam. Alex's comforting words temporarily eased her concerns and prevented her from dwelling on it too much. But deep down, Amelia knew that they couldn't truly be together until they resolved Hannah's situation.Amelia's response left Hannah with no way of using the conversation against her. Hannah had realized if she wanted to show off, Amelia would be even better at it!Hannah was extremely upset. "All you want is money. And I've told you I can pay you. Why don't you take the money and leave? It's meaningless to drag this out. In the end, you'll only end up being abandoned by Liam!""I thought you were so noble, but it turns out you're just pretending. If you'r

    Amelia felt empty inside. Liam might not have been lying if he was speaking to Ember. After all, Ember hadn't caused her any trouble these past few days.Was Liam really planning to use her? And he mentioned Eric; did he want to use her to go against Eric? But what use did she have for him now that Liam was helping her leave Astra?Amelia couldn't figure out what benefits Liam could gain from all this. She hesitated on whether to believe Hannah's words.When Liam returned in the evening, he carried a light scent of alcohol. Amelia approached him to take his suit. She casually asked, "Did you drink? Were you at a dinner?" "I had a few drinks while discussing the contract with Astra." "You said it was easy to handle. Why did you have to go in person? Who went from Astra's side?" Amelia asked. Liam glanced at her and pinched her cheek. "I had to go in person. Astra wouldn't send just anyone to deal with me."As he said this, his gaze remained fixed on Amelia's eyes. He was

    Today, Amelia woke up early as usual, but she didn't feel like talking to Liam. She simply continued to feign sleep and stayed in bed. Soon, she heard the sound of Liam getting up.His warm gaze landed on her. "Good morning, Lia," Liam said in a deep and gentle voice. It caused Amelia's eyelashes to flutter. Judging by the time, Liam would be going to work soon. Amelia finally got up to freshen up. However, to her surprise, when she went downstairs, she saw Liam sitting on the balcony. He was reading a magazine.  "Wake up and have breakfast. I’m bringing you shopping later," he said, setting the magazine aside and smiling at her tenderly. Amelia glanced at him, her mouth slightly agape. Her heart skipped a beat. "Aren't you supposed to go to work?" she asked."It’s the weekend," Liam replied and walked over to her. He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and planted a kiss on her forehead. He continued, "Even if it wasn't the weekend, it wouldn't matter if I skipp

    Liam looked at Hannah and said, "I never said that. You'll always be like a sister to me. That'll never change.""Then why doesn't Lily let me enter? It's not like I'm not paying her! I asked because I like her cooking!" Hannah asked, feeling wronged. Lily retorted, "So I have to cook for you just because you like me? How shameless!""Lily!" Liam turned to her in exasperation. "Do me a favor and stop. Let her join us." Hearing this, Amelia let out a laugh. He said Lily was his only female friend, yet she couldn't even compare to Hannah!Amelia's laughter made Liam suddenly feel uneasy. He remembered her being in a bad mood yesterday, likely because of Hannah. He had taken her shopping early in the morning to make her happy. Now that he had encountered Hannah again, would she be unhappy if he brought Hannah with them? While he was lost in thought, Lily smiled and said, "Alright, as long as Ms. Jenson doesn't mind, I'll let your precious Hannah come in!"The way Lily said "

He had met many women in bars and clubs, and it had never been this difficult to deal with them!However this time, it involved Amelia, whom he held dear in his heart. Liam glanced at Hannah looking pitifully at him. Then, he expressed his apologies, "Hannie, you've already tasted Lily's cooking last time. Today, give her restaurant's chef a try. If you like it, I'll bring you here again next time."With Liam's persuasion, Hannah had to give in since he had compromised. Still, she sulked a little before agreeing. Liam breathed a sigh of relief as Hannah immediately held his hand, saying, "Liam, let's go inside!"He was about to nod but he noticed Lily's mocking expression. Suddenly, he came to his senses and let go of Hannah's hand. "Hannie, walk properly. You'll make a spectacle of yourself like this."

I'll send you my schedule shortly, but I recommend you ask the Prescott Group to arrange a manager first!"Amelia felt uneasy reading his message. She enjoyed working with Karl.

    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!"

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?
