"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
Amelia clenched her fists tightly. She didn't know what Liam wanted to do."Calm down. I'm not trying to speak up for anybody. I'm just telling the truth as I see it," she said."Alright, let's talk about truths, then. I'll show you how wrong you are!" Liam shouted.Pulling up a chair, he sat down opposite her. He then propped his feet up on the armrests of the chair she was sitting in. It was a weird position. Amelia was trapped between the armchair and his legs.Amelia instantly glanced at Liam. Her gaze began to waver, and her cheeks were tinted red.Liam put on a half-smile. She didn't know what he was thinking."Astra came from overseas to expand its market here. It hadn't been in Terracrest for long, but it developed very quickly. It made many people famous. I never doubted the capabilities of a company like this," Liam said.He seemed to be sincere in his wish to talk to her and had switched into business mode very quickly. When he said that, Amelia even thought t
For a moment, the study was silent.Liam wasn't in a hurry to continue either. He gave her the time to slowly understand what was going on.A long while later, Amelia spoke with a bitter smile, "Even so, that doesn't prove anything."Liam chuckled. "He was lucky. He quickly dealt with it the night before I decided to do something about it."Amelia thought for a moment. It must have been the night of Ember's birthday.Astra's public relations department might have been weakened for some other reason. But Astra still helped to resolve her crisis.Also, Liam had put it like that, but how could she know if he was telling the truth?He also admitted that at the start, the Prescott Group did interfere in this matter."Astra quickly suppressed the scandals the last time," She spoke, still trying to defend Astra."I can give you the number of a magazine company. You can ask them who it was that bought their later drafts. You can also ask them who took down the headlines. Do you want
Amelia didn't say a word. Her mind was muddled as well.She wasn't doubting the truth of Liam's words. Rather, she was wondering about the relationship between Hannah's late sister and Liam.Why would Liam be so bothered by her wishes?Amelia was only his wife in name, but he could keep giving her uncle money.She clenched her fists. If that were so, judging by Liam's character, he would indeed keep taking care of Hannah."Lia …""You don't have to tell me these things. I don't care about them anymore." Amelia averted her gaze from him as she listened to her own words.When Liam heard her say that, he felt a little disappointed.She said that she didn't care about them. Did she mean that she understood him, or did she mean something else?"Mr. Prescott, the past is history. Let's not talk about it anymore. Keep living life the way you have in the past. I don't have any comments on it. I only wish that you keep out of my business as well."Amelia paused for a moment. Then,
