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,

    A few close friends were gathered in a private restaurant."Good thing you didn't bring that woman over. If not, the gathering today would be ruined again," Lily said.She leaned against the window and put on a charming smile. She didn't seem to notice the signals Lucas was giving her from the side.However, Lucas' worries came true and Brandon had gotten upset just as Lily finished speaking."I don't understand why you hold onto grudges so much, Lily! Yes, it was true that Hannie was part of the reason you broke up with Liam back then. But more importantly, you two just weren't a good match for each other. You can't vent all your dissatisfaction on Hannie!" Brandon said.Lily retorted, "Even if Liam and I were to break up because of compatibility issues, that's between me and him. What right does she have to butt in? She even brings it up in front of me from time to time. Isn't she showing off how important she is to Liam?" Lily raised an eyebrow as she looked at Brandon. She

    "If you don't believe what I say, you will regret it," Lily said with a cheerful expression and offered no further explanation.Initially, Liam paid little attention to her words. However, after a few drinks, he began to feel uneasy. "Please explain further," he requested.Lily smiled after observing his obvious curiosity while he maintained his aloof demeanor."Well then, try to put yourself in her place; if a man constantly cares for another woman and treats her well under the guise of friendship, all the while claiming she's like a sister to him, would that make you happy?"Liam coldly snorted, recalling Eric and Oscar."I can take care of my woman. I don't need other people to be concerned," he retorted.Lily raised an eyebrow. "You see, you can't even accept the idea of other men caring for her. So, if she were to care for another man and treat him as a brother, wouldn't you be even more unable to accept it?"Lily had a look of vindication on her face.Liam's expression

    Upon reading the text message and recalling Lily's words of warning, Liam felt a sudden urge to go home.He decided to act on this impulse."Let's gather again next time. I have something to attend to. I'll be heading back now," he informed the others.As he reached the door, he heard Lily's mocking laughter.He paused for a moment before turning to her. He said, "I've always believed that women can't stand on their own, but I've never looked down on you. Your restaurant business has been thriving, even without the help of friends like us."Lily was taken aback. This was the first time she had heard Liam praise someone, aside from Hannah and Leona."I'm going to find her now. After all, she's the person who would sacrifice her life for me. I can't let her spend Christmas alone." Liam suddenly smiled. However, he didn't give anyone any time to react as he swiftly left.After a brief silence in the room, Brandon was the first to snap out of it. He said, "Damn, he's going to

    Without informing anyone, Amelia had taken a train back to Bryxton by herself. Upon seeing her return, David and Sarah were momentarily taken aback before greeting her with smiles. In a considerate gesture, Sarah helped her with the luggage and pushed her suitcase ahead."Why don't the two of you catch up first? I'll take your luggage upstairs for you," she said.Originally, David's house was just a one-story bungalow. However, in the second year after Amelia married Liam, they had built an additional floor on top.David once proudly bragged about it in the village.Amelia didn't have the inclination to engage in small talk with David or Sarah. After looking around the house, she couldn't spot the two elderly figures and inquired, "Where are Grandpa and Grandma.""They went out for a stroll, but they'll be back for dinner. You don't need to worry," David assured her and casually waved his hand. He then asked with a beaming smile, "What about Liam? Why did you come back alo

    Just as Amelia went upstairs, Sarah emerged from the room.Upon seeing Amelia, she wore a pleasing smile and said, "I've already tidied up the room. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just let me know. It may not compare to the villa life you're used to, but it's the best we have to offer in our home. And if there's anything you're unhappy with, just tell us."Both David and Sarah had eager, pleasing smiles on their faces. This deepened Amelia's sense of bewilderment.As soon as she stepped into the room, the door was closed from the outside. Amelia's expression instantly changed. She then began to pound on the door.David called from outside, "Lia, you just had a tiring journey back. Rest for a while. We'll call you down for dinner later."After that, there was no sound from outside.Amelia continued to knock on the door, but there was still no response. She began to feel anxious.What on earth were they up to?There was a window in the room, but standing by

    "Wait, I'll be there very soon."Liam didn't use a lot of words, but they choked up her voice."Okay."Amelia wondered if he was already on his way to Bryxton when he mentioned he would come to her soon.

Liam's voice was urgent and filled with concern.At that moment, Amelia couldn't care less about how he addressed her. She hurriedly ran to the door. "I'm here!"Liam's anxious concern made Amelia anxious as well.David and Sarah must be keeping something from her, and it might have to do with her grandparents.She had to get out of here quickly."Liam, please get me out!" she pleaded."Don't rush, take a step back, I'll get you out now."Despite being separated by a door, Liam's voice reassured her.As Amelia took a few steps back, she heard David's voice."My dear nephew-in-law, what are you doing here?

    Liam had only seen Amelia's grandparents once. It was when he first met her.He couldn't understand why they would miss their granddaughter but not want her to return home.As Amelia held Maria's thin and bony hands, her eyes welled up with tears. "Grandma, you've lost weight," she said."I'm fine as long as you're doing well." Maria patted Amelia's hand with a satisfied smile."Lia, let's talk outside. Your grandmother just came back from a walk and needs to rest for a bit," Peter spoke as he got up.Amelia didn't think much of it and nodded while following him outside.Liam, walking behind them, glanced at Maria inquisitively. She shifted her gaze nervously before looking at him with anticipation. Her lips moved slightly without uttering any words."Grandma, please rest well," he said.Upon hearing Liam's words, Maria's eyes lit up.They had a chat in the living room. David and Sarah didn't come down, and Peter didn't mention them either. Hence, Amelia also avoided the

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.

    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

    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

    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

    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?
