Liam felt a headache as he looked at the three women. 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." Then, he walked over to Amelia and took her hand instead.Amelia struggled, wanting to break free, but Liam held on eve
Amelia casually placed her order, unfazed by the conversation between Hannah and Liam. She had long known that the relationship between them was not simple. She would only end up upset if she paid attention to them. After ordering the food, Amelia took out her phone to check her Twitter.Her last TV series had finished shooting. In a few days, she would have to promote it with the cast. However, since she was planning to switch contracts, she wasn't sure if Karl was angry with her since he hadn't contacted her for a few days now. She thought for a moment before sending a message to Karl. After two minutes, Karl replied. "I’ve been busy dealing with Oscar recently, and I might not have much time for you. 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. She did notice that Karl was upset, but she didn't expect him to be so direct.Observing Amelia
"Nobody can call him that! Only I … I … Anyway, none of you can call him that! And you! Don't think just because Liam considers you a friend, you can continue to seduce him under the name of friendship!" Hannah shouted.Tears were welling up in her eyes.Amelia was curious about what Hannah was about to say when she stuttered.Lily sneered. "Do you think Liam is such a gem? You don't even know how often he's been passed around!" "Lily!" Liam was genuinely angry this time. Her words hurt Liam's pride and made him afraid that Amelia might misunderstand something. "Forget it, I can't enjoy this meal today. Ms. Jenson, I’ll treat you to a meal next time," Lily said. Amelia stood up and apologized, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect to ruin your mood.""In any case, nothing good happens when that woman is involved. You should take your chances!" Lily said nonchalantly. Then, she patted Amelia's shoulder with a sigh. "Lia, what Lily said earlier ... " Liam started."Hmm? What did she
When Liam arrived at the hospital, Lily was sitting in a chair in the hallway while Lucas stayed by her side. "Lily, Lia, she ... " he started. Lily raised her head. Her cold and distant gaze made Liam feel guilty to the point where he couldn't even ask the questions he wanted to ask."Don't talk to me. You're not worthy!" she exclaimed.Liam's expression suddenly darkened. Even though they were friends, he had never felt so humiliated.Sensing the tension between them, Lucas quickly stood up and blocked Lily's path. "Ms. Jenson is still in the operating room. Calm down, Liam, and don't disturb the doctors." Liam pursed his lips and looked at the operating room's door without saying anything. Lily glanced at him and coldly snorted, "Now you're worried. Where were you earlier?"Liam couldn't help but clench his fist. Liam heard her clearly, and he deeply regretted his actions. He hadn't expected Amelia to get injured, let alone that she would throw herself in harm's
When Amelia woke up, the lights were on in the hospital ward, and the TV was muted. She watched the news on the finance segment. It was reporting Liam's entrepreneurial history.She shifted in her bed, and the person sleeping beside her woke up. He looked surprised that she was awake. "You’re awake, sleepyhead," he said. "Oscar, what are you doing here?" Amelia asked. Her voice was slightly hoarse and she spoke with difficulty."I heard you were injured, so I came with Mr. Richards." Oscar brought a glass of water and helped her drink. Amelia looked around the hospital room and realized she was the only patient in there. There was also a separate bathroom and a resting room. This must be a VIP room."Mr. Richards wanted to come and see you, but Liam wouldn't let him in. They had an argument by the door and almost broke out into a fight. Ms. Lily forced them to leave," Oscar read her mind and explained with a wry smile.He continued, "Mr. Richards was quite worried about y
"I did have plans to divorce back then," Amelia said with a bitter smile. People often forget that reality would deviate from expectations when making decisions. "My uncle's a gambler. He received a lot of money from Liam after I married him. If I were to divorce, I'd need a high-paying job to pay my bills."So when Eric reached out to her with the intention of promoting her, she agreed.If Liam hadn’t shown her those pictures or mentioned that woman after he returned from his business trip, she would have continued working with Astra.However, in all honesty, Amelia found herself so weak and powerless. The world may have been unfair to her, but she couldn't do the same to others.Oscar’s heart ached for her. He could see her sadness even though her face was still covered in bandages."Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I won’t say any more since you know what you’re doing. I believe that you will make the right choice after this incident." He then checked the tim
"You don’t have to get me a new manager. There’s no need to change the contract. I won't go to the Prescott Group," Amelia said calmly. Liam's expression instantly changed.He had never been repeatedly rejected before! Amelia was the first! But he couldn't get angry or lose his temper.Liam clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "If it's because of what happened yesterday, I can explain." Amelia shook her head. "It's not because of that. If it were because of Hannah, I wouldn't have agreed to go to the Prescott Group in the first place. I just don't want to go now, and it's not because of anyone else."She then looked at him. It wasn’t because of anyone else, it was because of Liam."Lia, I admit I forgot about you yesterday because I thought you wouldn't get hurt. I didn't expect you to ... Lia, I ... " Liam said."I said it's not because of what happened yesterday. However you felt yesterday doesn't matter at all," Amelia replied.Liam even admitted that he had for
Amelia refused to speak further. Liam felt helpless as he watched Amelia shut her eyes. He didn't know what he'd done to make Amelia have that thought. He had no idea whether she knew everything or had only heard a part of it and was intentionally saying these things to provoke him.Liam slowly let go of the bed. His heart was also hanging in the balance, and at that moment, he felt a bit at a loss.He said, "Lia, no matter what, I hope you can trust me. I genuinely want to treat you well. I know I neglected you, and I truly want to make amends now."I am a man, and no man can tolerate his wife flirting with another man. I won't look into the matter between you and Eric anymore. I’m determined to let the past stay in the past. So can you drop your guard and try to trust me, please?"Amelia still didn't speak, but she heard every word he said. Amelia wanted to mock him. She hadn't questioned his relationship with Hannah, so what right did he have to question her relationship w
