"Are you questioning me, Liam?" Ember's expression darkened. "I heard that Amelia was disfigured after getting hurt. Don't tell me you're regretting it and softening down just because of that!"Liam knew that Ember was mad. But still, he looked at her and spoke slowly, "She's still my wife right now.""But in the end, she's only a pawn to be abandoned!" Ember raised her voice. "You said that you would do something about it. But now, not only did you not handle your matters properly, you even made things more complicated!""What exactly are you two planning? Amelia is the young lady of the Prescott family, not some pawn. She's already hurt, but you two are still behaving like this! You're going too far!" When James heard the conversation, his frown deepened."We're going too far? If you care about her so much, why didn't I see you visiting her?" Ember retorted."If I wasn't worried that you might quarrel with me again, I would've visited her a long time ago. She's already part of o
"Mr. Prescott, Ms. Lancaster is here!" Gio knocked on the door as he walked in.Hannah came in after him. Her eyes were red."Liam, you questioned me over the phone just now. Do you not believe me?" She looked at Liam pitifully. Her eyes were red from crying just now, but they were turning moist again."It's not that I don't believe you. I just want to understand the situation," Liam said.Seeing her pitiful look, Liam couldn't help but pinch the space between his eyebrows.Even if Amelia suffered injustice, she would never show it on her face. Moreover, she was quite stubborn too."I don't know anything about any recordings. I don't know why Amelia would say that either. Liam, does Amelia hate me?" Hannah's face puckered up. She looked like she would cry as soon as Liam said that Amelia didn't like her."You said before that I'm your little princess, and everyone would like me. But Lily doesn't like me, and now, your new female companion doesn't like me either. I'm very sad abo
The weather was getting colder. The first TV series where Amelia was playing the female lead was scheduled for release. It would air during prime time on Christmas night.During that period, Amelia went along with the crew to promote the show. Following Karl's plans, she filmed two commercials and showed up on a variety show once.Amelia slowly began to get some fans as well.But the netizens still had conflicted views about her.Her scandal had blown over, but with fame, came trouble. When she was beginning to get a little popular, some trolls and haters tried to cancel her.Perhaps because she had gone through too much, Amelia didn't bother about the comments. She focused her efforts on improving her acting. She was considering a new script as well.Meanwhile, Liam came home late every night. The both of them lived under the same roof, but they didn't have many chances to meet.Still, Amelia sensed the change in Liam.For a few mornings now, she noticed flowers being re
"Karl, please help me get more gigs. I'm willing to try anything as long as I can earn money!"When Amelia spoke these words, she felt very helpless. But if she didn't work harder, she would never be able to fill that endless hole called David.Sometimes, she even wanted to be a little selfish and ignore him completely. But Amelia couldn't bear to abandon her grandparents.The show where she partnered up with Oscar would be aired after Christmas.During that period, Eric never came to see her again and Amelia felt relieved about it. The city could only be so huge. Not to mention, they worked at the same company too.Today, after Amelia talked to Karl at the company office, she decided to leave. She then waited for the elevator to arrive so that she could go downstairs.When the elevator arrived and the doors opened, she saw a familiar face. But the person's cold expression had replaced the usual gentle smile.By the looks of it, Eric didn't expect to see Amelia at the company
Amelia's expression shifted. She pulled up to the side of the road and quickly took out her phone.As expected, Karl was telling the truth. The scandal between her and Eric got onto the trending page again.More shockingly, Ava, who had been silent for a while, suddenly popped up again."In the end, I lost to someone who got their position through unofficial means."Ava didn't state who the person was, but she had voiced out at such a sensitive moment. Even if she didn't say who it was, everyone knew who she was referring to anyway.Moreover, there was the grudge of "one human life" between them.Before Amelia could respond, Ember came calling right away.Seeing the name displayed on her phone, Amelia felt a little scared to answer the call.She wondered if it was just her, but the more she refused to answer it, the more urgent the ringtone sounded.While Amelia was hesitating, the call cut off. She let out a sigh of relief, but at the next moment, her phone started ringin
Within a minute, Amelia's phone started ringing like crazy. But Amelia ignored it.She sobbed aloud, feeling despair in her heart. She even thought about completely ending a certain matter.Later on, she saw another message from Alex. As she read the words, she could imagine how anxious Alex was at that moment."Lia, I was in a bad mood today, so forget the nonsense I said just now. As long as you're Mrs. Prescott, he belongs to you. No one can take him away from you!"Amelia knew that Alex had realized that she was being too straightforward. Alex feared that it might hurt Amelia, so she hastily called to explain.Amelia didn't call back. Instead, she only replied with a short message—"I know".She didn't even add any punctuation.Liam began to avoid going home again. Faced with May's hesitant expression, Amelia could only pretend as if she didn't see it.On the Internet, the scandals about her and Eric had been taken down on the night itself. Amelia didn't ask who took it
"Who's Liam? How great can he be? Lia didn't even fancy someone like Eric. Liam is out of the question!"Angered by the behavior of the two people opposite them, Alex put on an intimidating look as well. She was quite surprised to see that Liam had friends like this.Regardless of how Liam viewed Amelia right now, his friends still looked down on her. This made Alex a little mad at Liam. She had just changed her opinion of him a while ago, but now, it was going back to square one.Amelia didn't comment on Alex's words. Instead, she smiled in acknowledgment. It was a clear sign that she silently agreed."Amelia, I know that you're mad because Liam was nice to me. But you can't let your friend humiliate him just because of this! Or do you think the same as well? Did you get close to Liam not because you loved him, but because you had ulterior motives?" Hannah had an accusing look on her face as she spoke up for Liam.Amelia chuckled. "You're on such good terms with Liam. Didn't he
"What are you doing?" A cold voice rang out. Amelia and Alex exchanged glances. They didn't expect that person to appear.He also seemed to be dissatisfied with Brandon's actions."Liam, Amelia hit Brandon just now. It was all my fault. I shouldn't have come here to shop, and I shouldn't have appeared in front of Amelia. Quickly talk to Amelia. Tell her not to hit Brandon again," Hannah cried.She ran over to Liam. Her eyes were red, and she was tearing up from anxiety.When Alex heard what Hannah said, she laughed. "Brandon's a tall and big man. How can a weak woman like Lia bully him?""Brandon never hits women. You're bullying Brandon because you know he won't hit you!" Hannah said.Amelia smiled when she heard that. Hannah was like a culprit accusing their victim.But she didn't retort. After all, she had indeed hit Brandon.Liam glanced at Amelia. He saw a faint smile on her face as she stood with Alex, but she didn't look in his direction at all. Instead, Alex glared at
