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
"Are we continuing our shopping, Lia?" Alex looked at Amelia worriedly. Liam was going too far. How could he be so intimate with Hannah in front of Amelia?Even worse, he never spoke a word to Amelia!Amelia smiled nonchalantly. "Of course. We still have to buy shoes and then eat something nice, right? I just got my pay, and I promised to treat you to a meal. I can't break my promise!"Amelia had received money from the filming gig from the last time. So the first thing Amelia did was to ask Alex out for a meal to celebrate."Alright, let's keep going then. The people who don't matter should get lost!" Alex looked bold and generous as she dragged Amelia into a mall nearby.Meanwhile, Liam was distracted as he drove Hannah to the hospital. He had almost run the red light. After Hannah reminded him about it, he pulled up by the road and undid his seatbelt."Hannie, I forgot that I had some wine today. I can't drive. I'll ask Gio to send you to the hospital," he said.Hannah glan
At Riverbay Residence, Liam suddenly felt a little panicky as he stood in front of the closed door.He was holding a rectangular box in his hands. He gripped the box tightly, but ultimately, he didn't knock on the door.Liam wondered how long it had been since they met and talked properly.He couldn't quite remember.He knew that it hadn't been that long, but he also felt as if it were forever ago."Mr. Prescott, are you looking for Madam?" May asked.Seeing Liam standing in front of Amelia's room, May had a puzzled look on her face. "Madam went out soon after she came back."Liam froze. When he was in the mall, he was slightly delayed because he was buying the necklace. But when he went to the shoe store, she was still there.He then watched her drive in the direction of home. Then, he deliberately came back half an hour later. He didn't see Amelia's car on the road on his way back either.In addition, Liam checked before he came in. Amelia's car was still parked in the g
When Amelia came back, May was still watching TV in the living room. Seeing that Amelia had returned, May hastily whispered, "Mr. Prescott came back." Then, she nodded toward the second floor. "As soon as he came back, he stood at the door of your room. I don't know how long he stood there. If I hadn't seen him and made him feel embarrassed, he would've stood there until you came back."Amelia raised an eyebrow. She was a little surprised at what May said.Noticing that she didn't seem to believe it, May continued, "He probably wanted to apologize to you, but his pride got in the way. Just trouble him a little later on. Men value their pride, after all."Since he has already given in, please don't get mad at him anymore, Madam. No matter who gets mad in the relationship, you are the ones who would feel sad about it in the end."Amelia didn't reply to that. Instead, she simply said, "Got it. Thanks for waiting for me."May usually went to bed early. She should've been asleep by n
Alex's desolate words caused Amelia's heart to tremble."You said that he has someone he likes, not that he already has a girlfriend. If that's the case, if you truly like him, you should put in some effort."Whereas Amelia didn't even have the chance to try.She chuckled bitterly.Even if she had a chance now, she didn't want to try either. It was just too tiring.Amelia added, "But Alex, you have to be prepared. The person who fell in love first might be the one who gets hurt the most." "I know. I just want someone to support me. I'm glad to hear what you just said. I'll keep trying. As long as he isn't with the person he likes yet, I won't ever give up on him!"Alex was always like this. She would be sad about something for a moment. But in the next, she would get fired up again.When Amelia went downstairs for breakfast, she saw that person sitting at the dining table. He was gracefully eating breakfast.She paused in her footsteps. Then, she hastily went upstairs and bro
"Amelia, there's a limit to playing hard to get!" Liam looked at her angrily. "I know you were wronged, but I've also done my best to make it up to you. But you've gone too far!""Too far? What do you mean by that?" Amelia looked puzzled. "Putting aside what you did to make it up to me, what exactly did I do that made you think that I'm playing hard to get?""You!"Her serious attitude caused Liam to suspect that she truly wanted to break it off with him.She had suggested it a few times in the past, but he never agreed to it. So she no longer took the initiative to mention it. She was trying to provoke him so that he would say it himself!"Did you forget what I told you before? Do you really think that Eric is serious about you?" Liam asked."He has nothing to do with this matter between us." Amelia looked straight at him. Her gaze was cold and even a little impatient.Why did he always mention Eric?In the end, he still didn't believe her!"And he's not involved just becau
