Karl always knew that Amelia had good looks. If she dressed up, she would be quite the beauty.As Karl watched her come down the stairs with her exquisite makeup and form-fitting strapless dress adorned with brilliant diamonds, he was still startled by her beauty.Liam snorted in dissatisfaction when he noticed Karl's expression. Then, he walked toward Amelia, blocking Karl's line of sight.Karl rubbed his nose, realizing that he was acting inappropriately. But he was amused by Liam's domineering attitude.He was the only outsider to see Amelia now, but many more people would be looking at her at the banquet later. Would Liam throw a tantrum when that happens?"This dress doesn't look nice at all. I'll get someone to deliver another dress," Liam said with a foul expression. When Liam picked this dress, he only felt that the dress was beautiful and that it would look great on Amelia. But he didn't expect it to suit Amelia this perfectly.Amelia had a great figure, so with the
As expected, Amelia attracted everyone's attention when she arrived. Neither the men nor the women noticed Oscar right away, despite him standing next to Amelia.Oscar teased Amelia in secret, "Silly Billy, people are more jealous of you than they are of me right now. Look how those women are looking at you! They wish they could defeat you just by their gazes!"Amelia agreed wholeheartedly, but of course, she only agreed to the latter half of what he said.The women not only wanted to defeat her with their gazes, but they also wanted to kill her with their looks!Amelia couldn't help but frown when she noticed some malicious gazes. Now, she could understand Liam's feelings a little.The two didn't want to linger at the entrance for long. They hastily walked toward Eric, who was already inside.When Eric saw them coming in, he was also surprised by Amelia's stunning looks. However, he quickly hid his emotions. When they walked over to him, he had already put on a warm and gent
"Why are you here alone, Ms. Jenson? Aren't you going to mingle around?" Nina clicked over to Amelia in her high heels and handed her a glass of juice.Amelia felt that it wasn't appropriate to decline, so she took the glass. She put on a faint smile and said, "I don't like bustling places. Moreover, I don't know most of the people here."Nina was startled. "If I remember correctly, you're the newbie Astra is heavily promoting right now. If you're willing, Mr. Richards would bring you along when he meets people, right?"Amelia nodded. Earlier, Eric did indeed tell her about this. But no matter how much she wanted to mix around, she felt resistant to the idea.Eric knew Amelia's temperament, so he didn't force her. He only said, "It's okay, take your time. But you can't leave early. Stay here for a while longer. Even if you don't talk to anyone, there'll be more chances of people discovering you just by hanging around. You'll get more opportunities too."She knew that Eric was sayi
Nina suddenly stood up and ran into someone walking by. Juice spilled out of a glass, splashing on the front of the dress she was wearing."Oh, it's you, Nina. Sorry, I didn't notice you just now," a voice said.Amelia felt uncomfortable when she heard that voice. How was it possible to run into this woman everywhere she went?Nina smiled at Hannah. "It's okay!" Then, she looked at Amelia. "Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom for a bit."Amelia nodded. She didn't want to stay here anymore either. But Hannah quickly strode up to her and put on an innocent smile. "Why are you trying to leave as soon as you see me, Amelia? Did I do something wrong that upset you?" she asked.Hannah didn't come alone. Behind her was Brandon and some other people. When the people heard Hannah's question, they looked at Amelia disapprovingly.Amelia sighed in secret. What exactly was Hannah trying to do?Amelia didn't want to mess with Hannah, so she could only escape.But Hannah wouldn't even let
Amelia felt a little embarrassed, and she also felt that she hadn't done right by Eric. She smiled sheepishly. "Of course not."After the two chatted for a moment, Eric felt something off about his body.Amelia also noticed Eric's face getting redder. She asked, puzzled, "Do you still feel uncomfortable? Should I take you inside to rest?"It was a private gathering, and it was held in someone's villa. When the banquet started, the host said that there were rooms available for guests to rest in.Eric only felt his body getting hotter, and he was feeling thirsty as well. When Amelia got close to him, a certain urge grew stronger as he took a whiff of the scent on her body."Sure!" Eric stood up. However, he staggered a little from sitting for too long.Amelia thought that he had drunk too much, so she hastily supported him. As soon as her hand touched his wrist, restlessness welled up in his body.Eric didn't think too much about it at first. But then, Amelia approached him and he
"Ah!"Amelia was woken up by a scream.When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a man's chest. There were even some marks on his chest.She widened her eyes and lifted her head. She then looked at the person sleeping next to her. Amelia was shocked when she saw the familiar handsome face. She was so startled that she fell off the bed.The man woke up and was stunned too when he realized it was Amelia. He hastily got up to help her up."Are you okay, Amelia?" he asked.Amelia hastily pushed Eric's hand away. "Why are you here?"Eric looked at her for a moment. He had an apologetic expression on his face. "We'll talk about that later. For now, Amelia, please wear something."It was only then that Amelia noticed that Eric only had pants on. And although she was wearing pajamas, she wasn't any better.They had just put on their clothes when knocks sounded on the door.Amelia hastily looked at Eric. If someone found them … She couldn't imagine what would happen af
With a loud bang, the door was rammed open.Liam walked in with a foul expression on his face, followed by a few people.Amelia felt guilty and afraid. She opened her mouth, "Liam …"Liam only glanced at her. His gaze turned even sharper, and there seemed to be a storm brewing in his eyes.Taking a step, Amelia tried to walk toward him. Suddenly, someone fell into his embrace and sobbed pitifully. "Liam, let's leave. Take me away from here. I … I'm scared!"When Amelia saw who it was, her eyes widened.Just then, she realized that Liam still had his clothes on, but his clothes were wrinkled. Hannah, who was in his arms, looked more or less in the state Amelia herself was in.The strapless dress Amelia was wearing could barely hide the red marks on her body.Fearing that someone would find out, Amelia wore a coat she brought over her dress, wrapping herself up firmly.Liam looked at Amelia with a fierce gaze. He seemed like he wanted to gobble her up. But his hands were hol
"Mr. Prescott, Madam, you—"Liam kicked open the door of the villa. Hearing the commotion, May came out to greet them. But before she could finish speaking, she was startled by the sullen expression on Liam's face."Get out!" Liam commanded.May was stunned for a moment. Then, she realized that Liam was mad again. Giving Amelia a look that said she wished Amelia all the best, she hurried outside.Only the two were left in the huge villa. Liam didn't say anything as he dragged Amelia up the stairs. Then, he threw her onto the bed and tore off her clothes. When he saw the marks on her chest, his eyes seemed to spit fire. "Amelia, you …" Liam was furious, and his breaths quickened. His expression was extremely foul.Amelia knew that he would get mad. When she saw him like that, she felt both scared and embarrassed. When she recalled her surprise at seeing Eric upon waking up, she felt even more ashamed.Amelia closed her eyes, not daring to look at Liam. Tears rolled silen
