Amelia was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Karen to say that.But Amelia truly couldn't bring herself to hate Karen. So, after Karen said that, she couldn't decline, either."Please wait for a moment, then, Mrs. Lancaster. I'll be right back." Amelia smiled at Karen. Then, she told May to serve the guests while she went upstairs.After changing her clothes, Amelia called Liam. Liam said that he would come back right away, so Amelia felt a little more reassured.After going downstairs, Amelia found that Karen was the only one left in the living room. She was sitting on the couch, holding a cup of tea in her hands while she gazed at the TV.On the TV, the station was rebroadcasting the first show Amelia acted in."Ms. Jenson, your acting skills improved quite quickly.""Thank you! Where are Mr. Lancaster and Ms. Lancaster?""They had something to attend to at home, so I asked them to go back first." Karen patted the spot next to her. "Come and sit here, Ms. Jenson. I wa
"Never mind, if you don't know about it, I won't tell, either. People might accuse me of being a villain." Karen chuckled.She continued, "Just know that I don't like Liam now, and I will never allow him to be a son-in-law of the Lancasters."Amelia's gaze flickered a little, but she felt even more reassured in her heart.Even though Karen didn't explain the details, Amelia believed what she said."Hannie still hasn't matured yet. If she remains ill-mannered in the future and does things she shouldn't, don't hold it against her. At least be more tolerant of her, for my sake."No matter what she's trying to do, she can't make any huge waves. Anything that should belong to you will still be yours."There was an eagerness in her tone, and Amelia couldn't decline it."As long as she doesn't overstep the boundaries, I won't mind her too much."With Amelia's promise, Karen sighed in relief."You're a good lady, and you deserve happiness. I hope that Liam can let go of the past after
At night, as Liam watched the sleeping face of the woman next to him, he felt his heart softening even more.His wife was simply too kind.The incident of the splashed soup at the restaurant was made clear. As Ava said, Hannah truly did have something to do with that incident.Even though they didn't have concrete evidence, it wouldn't be far from the truth.Liam was very disappointed in Hannah's actions. He wanted to talk to her about it, but he didn't expect Hannah to come knocking first.She also had a high fever at that time, so he couldn't ignore her at all. He had no choice but to send her to the hospital first.He wanted to ask her about it after her fever had receded. But Amelia was so kind that she insisted on going to the hospital with him and Hannah.Liam sighed. If Amelia had known that Hannah was the one behind that incident, would she have been sad and regretful?While he was thinking those things, he also felt that he had been too lenient toward Hannah. He even c
"Liam!"Hannah looked at Liam with a hurt expression. She seemed to be very upset at Liam's words."Let's eat first. I'm worried that you might get hungry." Liam smiled. The food he ordered was served as well.Hannah felt a little panicked as she looked at Liam. Seeing that he was eating earnestly and didn't want to talk to her, she bit her lip. Then, she started eating as well.Liam ate quickly. When he put down his cutlery, Hannah still hadn't eaten her fill. But she felt a little guilty in the first place, so she didn't feel like eating more.So, she put down her cutlery as well, looking at Liam nervously. Her eyes were filled with moisture as if Liam was about to say something hurtful.Looking at her eyes, Liam felt his heart soften a little. But then, he recalled the injuries Amelia endured and her kindness. So, he steeled his heart."You were the one who arranged that person at the restaurant that day, right?"Hannah widened her eyes. "What are you saying, Liam? H
The meeting ended on an unhappy note.When Liam went back at night, he felt a little guilty to see Amelia's exhausted look.He found the mastermind who hurt her, but he failed to avenge her."Lia, I don't think I've given you many gifts. Is there anything you want?"Amelia suddenly widened her eyes. "Oh no, I forgot about something!""What is it?""You gave me a piece of jewelry last time, right? Was it a necklace or a bracelet?" She asked him nervously. She didn't have it anymore!Liam's smile disappeared. "Have you ever opened it to look?"Amelia smiled sheepishly. "We refused to talk to each other back then, right? I didn't want any gifts you gave me."He grunted, feeling wronged. He recalled it as well. Back then, she even wanted to return it to him, but he didn't take it. So, she was forced to keep it. But he never saw her wearing it before."It's a necklace. Open it now and see if you like it."She looked guilty. "The necklace is missing. I think my aunt took it. Bac
After finishing the filming for the day, Amelia spotted a figure at the filming site. She was surprised to see it.She only thought for a moment before following the figure.In a secluded room, Ava was arguing animatedly with someone."You promised me. How can you break your promise now?"The other person replied, "I did promise you, but you didn't do it right, so why should I keep my promise? Ava, you should be grateful enough to have the life you're living right now."After all, many people can never reach your current level."The gentle voice surprised Amelia.She looked like such a meek and innocent woman, so Amelia didn't expect her to say such mockery."You! Aren't you afraid that I'd tell her your true colors? If you still want to—""What true colors? Do you think you have anything to blackmail me with? I don't even consider Amelia a threat, so who do you think you are?"Amelia was a little startled to hear her name being mentioned. She wanted to keep listening, but sh
Amelia returned to the Riverbay Residence. When she saw the figure standing at the entrance, she was already in a bad mood, so her expression turned even worse."You're back, Lia!"Sarah hastily went up to Amelia with a pleasing smile on her face.Amelia frowned slightly. "Why are you here? Also, how did you get in? Didn't you know that trespassing is against the law?"The villa area had a guardhouse outside. Anyone who wasn't a resident of the villa couldn't enter without permission.After David's last visit, Amelia told the security guards to ban him in the future."I didn't sneak in; the security guard let me in. I'm your aunt, and I'm here to see you. So, he let me in just like that!"Sarah was nervous when she heard Amelia accusing her of trespassing. So, she hastily explained.Amelia couldn't help but frown when she heard that. She thought that the security guard was being too unprofessional.Even if Sarah claimed that she was Amelia's aunt, the security guard had to ask
Hearing Sarah's cries, Amelia frowned deeply. She said, "Henry and Joshua aren't little children anymore. You should let them find work on their own instead of you providing for them all the time!"Amelia had talked about this before, but Sarah refused to listen to her. She had even reprimanded Amelia, accusing her of having bad intentions. She also claimed that Amelia wanted her sons to turn bad.Amelia was exasperated with that. And since Sarah didn't take the advice, Amelia had never brought it up again.Sarah explained, "I know that I was in the wrong, but we seriously can't survive right now; David took the money you gave us and gambled it away. And this time, your cousin got into a fight and got hospitalized, so we've used up the rest of the money …".When Sarah saw Amelia frowning, she was elated. Since Amelia didn't decline right away, her heart must have softened a little.Recalling a certain someone's words from before, Sarah gritted her teeth. Strengthening her reso
