Runaway Wife Chapter 207 Bad Habits
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

"I was the one who asked him to come. If you have any objections, I can leave the hospital right now and go with him," Amelia said. Liam stared at her intensely and his eyes turned red. Eric hadn't expected Amelia to say this. His heart skipped a beat as he looked at her with a glint of excitement in his eyes.Amelia glanced at Eric and cleared her throat. "I believe that, no matter what, I should have the freedom to make friends. How can I trust you if I don’t have that freedom?"Liam couldn't believe what Amelia was saying. It was as if someone was repeating, "Look, she’s choosing that man over you right in front of you!"Liam's fists clenched even tighter, and there was a faint crack between his fingers. Then, Eric stepped forward and blocked Amelia's hospital bed."Mr. Prescott, I think you should have more grace, and you certainly shouldn't resort to violence against women. If you have any issues with me, feel free to confront me, but I won't back down," he said.Lia

Runaway Wife Chapter 797 Let Go of the Past
James spoke of the past without any warning.Amelia was surprised to hear the story. She didn't expect that the generation before her had such connections."I didn't know what Karen felt for me. She always hid her emotions well. She was always elegant and noble in front of everyone and never did anything inappropriate. She was a true heiress of a wealthy family."After finding out your background, I wanted my son to fulfill this regret for me since I couldn't be with the woman I loved. I hoped my son could be with her daughter."I wanted Luke and Leona to marry for this purpose as well. Family interests were not my priority. Unfortunately, they had an accident, and my wish wasn't fulfilled. Then, I found out that Leona had been to Bryxton and suspected the identity of Hannah and you.

Runaway Wife Chapter 795 Eric Left
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
Runaway Wife Chapter 793 Legal Couple
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. Plus, Oscar knew that she was just using Liam to reject him.Liam observed Amelia getting angry and toned down, saying, "Three years ago, we did sign a divorce agreement, but it didn't
Runaway Wife Chapter 792 Proposal
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
Runaway Wife Chapter 791 Pushing Her Away
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? Liam's just venting his anger on us. He won't trouble us again once his anger dissipates.""Of c
