"Since you're here, and this matter has been brought up, let's sit down and talk, just the three of us." James looked at Ember.He said, "I don't think you'll feign ignorance at times like this and miss the chance to fight for the interests of your son."Ember looked at James furiously. She wanted to retort, but in the end, the interests of her son were more important. So she simply snorted without saying anything else."I've watched you grow up. When you just learned how to walk, I would often bring you with me to work. You were with me while I attended meetings and dealt with official business. This has also helped develop your interest in business and management," James said.Liam recalled the past as well and had a reminiscent look on his face."You did put a lot of effort into developing my interests and abilities. You not only were my teacher, but you were also my guide," Liam replied.James looked comforted by his words, but Ember felt a little sad when she heard that.
After eavesdropping on the conversation, Hannah returned to her room. She felt that her heart was about to leap out of her throat.Some time ago, she heard that James had moved out, and he seemed to have gotten into an argument with Ember. But Hannah never figured out the reason.When she moved into Prescott Manor, she was wondering if she could get some information on that.She was quite lucky too. She had only moved in two days ago when James came back.She initially didn't know about it. She was simply thirsty, so she wanted to go downstairs for a drink. But then, she heard Ember and James arguing. So she stood at the stairs, listening in.Then, Liam had come over. Hannah didn't dare to stay there for too long, fearing that someone might notice her. So she went back to her room first.She didn't hear the latter half of the conversation, but the things she did hear were shocking enough that the upper-class society would be talking about them for a long time.Her heart thum
He had seen those seering eyes before. But at this moment, Liam's heart was extremely complicated."Do you really want to give birth to this child?" he asked.Hannad quickly nodded. "This is our child. The moment I knew I had a child, I was thinking that this was probably a gift from God. I can't stay with you and marry you. So this is God's compensation for my affection."I've been reading a parenting guide for expectant mothers these past two days. I have to hurry up and learn more. Otherwise, I can't take care of the child well alone. Also, I have to learn to grow up. I have to learn to live a life without you."As Hannah spoke, she sounded like she was on the verge of tears.When did that innocent girl start to grow up?She clearly was not a child anymore, given she was able to say such a thing."Have you ever thought about what you'll face after the child is born?" Liam couldn't bear to ask this, but when he thought about Amelia's vague alienation from him, he became cruel.
Hannah's hands under the quilt were clenched into fists. Her pain spread from her palm to the chest, and from the chest to the palm.She wondered if that woman was so important in Liam's heart that she and her child couldn't compare to her.Hannah forced a smile. "I know that. Liam, don't worry. I won't force you to divorce Amelia. However, if I keep living in Prescott Manor, will she be angry and blame me?"Seeing her pretending to be strong, Liam sighed. "Just stay here. There's no need to worry so much. As long as you don't take the initiative to appear in front of her, she won't care about this; she's a kind person."Hannah's heart skipped a beat as she wondered what Liam meant."Amelia will be a good wife since you favor her. It's just a pity that I don't get along with her much. Since I don't know much about her, I wonder if she is comparable to Leona?"Liam looked blank.Leona and Amelia … After Hannah said that, she carefully observed Liam's expression. Upon seein
For some reason, Amelia hadn't received an interview notice for the new script, so she was starting to get anxious.Upon seeing her dressing up in the morning, Liam knew that Amelia was planning to go out. He quickly approached her and said, "Lia, I'll go out with you."Amelia looked at him and asked, "You don't care about the company's affairs anymore?""With Gio and the other shareholders, there won't be any big problems," Liam said nonchalantly.Liam then thought of something interesting. He smiled and said, "You may not know, but my father plans to give some of his shares to Eric."He has acquired five percent of the Prescott group's shares. In addition to the shares given by my father, he'd be able to enter the board of directors and have a strong say. Astra is developing so well under his leadership; if he joins the Prescott group, he can take care of it very well."Amelia looked at Liam in a daze.She couldn't believe that Eric had acquired five percent of the Prescott
Along the way, Amelia was thinking about the news that Liam told her.She refused to believe it, but Liam didn't have any reason to lie to her. But since she wasn't able to figure it out, Amelia decided to seek out the answer herself.…When Karl opened the door, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Amelia standing outside."Why are you here?" he asked.Upon seeing that she insisted on coming, Liam suggested that she went directly without calling them so that she could know the truth they were hiding from her.Therefore, after knocking on the door, Amelia gathered her attention and indeed, she noticed a flash of guilt on Karl's face.Amelia's heart sank, but she didn't show it on her face. She said, "I've been too bored at home these days. I'm coming to ask if there's any work.""Come in first," Karl replied.As they sat down, Karl raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought you might need some rest during this period. It's not like you to ask me about work in such a hurry!"
"Do you feel disappointed now and want to ask him for a clear answer?" Karl gave her a cup of tea and continued, "I suggest you not to ask him."Amelia looked at him. Even though she didn't speak, Karl knew that she was waiting for him to continue."Since you entered Astra, Mr. Richards has always taken care of you, especially after your debut. As a newbie, you always received good resources. It can be said that many experienced artists don't even get the resources as good as yours."Amelia couldn't deny his claim.Karl continued, "Although Mr. Richards has the final say when it comes to Astra, many high-level officials have put forward their opinions many times in the executive meeting. Mr. Richards can suppress all the opinions regardless of everyone's opposition, but he'd be in trouble if it happens too many times."After hearing this, Amelia's heart calmed down. It was undeniable that what Karl said did make sense.However, her career had been smooth for such a long time; it
After coming out from Astra, Amelia received a call from Eric."I heard that you came to the company today?" he said.Amelia felt a little complicated upon hearing his voice. However, she said briskly, "Yes. You're truly the CEO of the company. You even know of such a small matter.""Your matter is no small matter," Eric replied.Amelia frowned slightly. But just as she was about to speak, she heard his voice, "Since you've come to the company, you must have known that I've suspended your work. If I don't explain it clearly to you, I'm afraid that you'll blame me and never contact me again."Amelia chuckled. "You're the CEO of the company who makes decisions based on your reasoning. How can I blame you? It's even more impossible for me to stop contacting you because of this. If I offend you, how can I continue staying in the company in the future?""It seems that you're really not angry, seeing as how you can still joke with me. I feel relieved," Eric said."I'm not angry at all
