"Lia, don't take what Brandon said to heart. He's just a fool, he's incapable of speaking sensibly or thinking things through," Liam said. Amelia glanced at him skeptically, and Liam found it harder to defend Brandon. "He's trying to help another woman steal you from me. Shouldn't I be concerned? Do I have to wait until someone steals you before I worry?" Amelia retorted. Liam fell silent. Then, he looked at Amelia joyfully and said, "So you do care about me, right?"Amelia scoffed coldly. "You are legally my husband now, and if other women want you, that means they don't respect me. Even if I no longer want you, they would have to wait for my consent!" Liam couldn't help but feel amused and helpless listening to her. "Lia, you know my intentions." Amelia shook her head seriously. "No, I don't! You haven't given me any sense of security."Liam's smile faded, and he looked at her with complicated emotions. "Alright, let's go. I'm hungry." Amelia shut her eyes. Her mind was
In the folder were documents stating that Riverbay Residence, Luxury Gardens, and several cars under Liam's name would be given to her. Before Amelia could ask anything, Liam handed her another folder. "This is the fund I'm managing for you. Take a look," he said. Amelia briefly glanced at it and was taken aback by the amount inside. "What ... what is this?" she asked. Liam did not notice her astonishment and calmly said, "I remember telling you that you'll have your investments after we marry. Since you didn't understand these matters, I've been managing it for you. Have you thought about learning to manage it yourself? I can teach you."Amelia widened her eyes. Liam had mentioned it before, but she hadn't paid it much attention. Neither did she know how much was in the fund. "It originally involved buying a few stock funds. But now that you're an artist, I thought you could establish a charity foundation if you were interested. It would be good for your reputation," Liam sai
For the past few days, Amelia and Liam stayed at Luxury Gardens and did not return to Riverbay Residence. During this time, May called and mentioned that Hannah had visited several times, even staying overnight, because she couldn't meet Liam. Amelia felt uneasy hearing this. She felt that Hannah was being too persistent. When Liam returned at night, Amelia told him about May's phone call. "You don't need to worry about it. Let her be. She'll give up sooner or later," Liam advised. However, Amelia didn't believe Hannah would give up so easily; that wasn't her nature. But before Amelia could say anything more, her phone rang. Amelia hesitated for a moment when she saw the caller ID.Liam noticed this and his face darkened. He entered the room and forgot he was there to tell her he wanted to make dinner. Amelia suddenly felt upset by his reaction. After all, Eric was the one who called, and she didn't even answer it, so why was Liam upset? As she thought of this, Amelia
However, Liam couldn't help but feel bitter at the thought of Amelia being intimate with that man. "Yeah, I'm upset. I don't like him. What's the problem?" Liam said and looked at Amelia with resentment, as if he was in the right. Amelia glanced at him and then looked away. "I haven't said anything. Why are you so worked up?" "I'm not worked up. What if you're stolen by someone else?" Amelia looked at Liam, feeling a bit strange. "Aren't you confident in yourself?""It's not that. No one in this world can compare to me," Liam said arrogantly. But despite that, he still had a sulk on his face. They stared at each other for about a minute. Then, Liam sat down beside her, looking very aggrieved. He said, "Lia, you might feel uneasy, and I feel uneasy, too. Can't you give me peace of mind?" Liam couldn't help but feel happy at the thought of her quarreling with Brandon and calling him her man. However, this happiness was fragile in the face of interference from other peopl
"The Prescott Group's shares?" Liam glanced at the documents handed over by Eric. There was a flicker of outrage in his eyes. However, the moment he looked up, it turned into a look of contemplation. He said, "Mr. Richards, you're quite capable. You've acquired so many of the Prescott Group's shares in just a short year since returning to the country. It's a pity that these shares are not enough to intimidate me." Eric nodded and said, "Indeed, but I wonder how many shares of the Prescott Group James holds and whether if combined, they are enough?" Liam's expression darkened. "You won't get what you want."But Eric showed no fear and smiled. "Indeed, it would have been impossible in the past, especially considering how well the Prescott Group has developed under you. "But this time, you refused to take responsibility after taking Ms. Lancaster's innocence. This has not only further damaged the relationship between the Prescott and Lancaster families, but has also disappointed
After tidying up, Nina couldn't help but glance at Liam. She walked slowly toward him. "Mr. Prescott, smoking too much is bad for your health. How about I make you a cup of coffee?" she said. Liam continued to look out the window. He held a freshly lit cigarette, contemplating whether to take a drag. Nina didn't give up despite not getting a response. She went to the pantry and brewed a cup of coffee. After finishing, Nina touched her pocket and hesitated for a moment. But after thinking about it, she decided against the idea. "Mr. Prescott, the coffee is ready!" she exclaimed. Liam was already sitting at his desk when Nina entered the room. The cigarette stub had also been discarded. Nina was delighted, pushing the coffee toward him and speaking with concern, "Don't get angry over unrelated matters. It's not worth damaging your health. It only brings pain to loved ones and joy to enemies. You're smart. You should understand this." Liam picked up the coffee and glanced
In the study upstairs, Liam surveyed the room. "Has he not come back these past few days?" At first, Ember was angry, then she sarcastically said, "He left a while ago, if he came back now, it would mean he'd be giving in to me. Do you think that's possible?" Liam sighed. "Actually, you could be a bit more forgiving. I checked, and he did meet that woman during this time, but she's already married. He's been staying alone in a hotel." "Why does that matter? If that woman wasn't married, they might get back together! Anyway, I'm not wrong, and I won't easily forgive him!" Ember was full of resentment. She had been strong-willed her whole life; there was no way she would yield now. Then, Ember became serious as she got down to business. "Is what you said true?" she asked. Liam nodded. "He came to see me today. I saw the equity contracts. It's real.""I didn't expect that bastard to be so capable. Did he get help?" Ember was infuriated. "He's not even helping his son at home. H
"Liam, you don't intend to give up on that woman, but what about the shares in the hands of that bastard? If your father gives his shares to that bastard, then the Prescott Group ..." Ember looked worried, still not approving of Liam's actions. She continued, "In my opinion, she's just a woman. If he wants her, what's the harm in giving her to him!" Liam firmly shook his head. "I won't give up on her. Mom, finding a woman who could disregard herself and risk her life for me isn't easy."Ember had wanted to persuade him further. But then, she thought of the time Amelia had gotten hurt protecting Liam back in Lily's restaurant. Then, she thought about the time Liam got injured on set while saving Amelia. Ember started to come to an understanding. She said, "Before, I was worried that you always followed behind your brother and that Lancaster girl. I always wondered when you would come to your senses and fall for a girl. Now that you understand, I ..." Liam approached her and g
