Runaway Wife Chapter 41 Just a Simple Transaction
David didn't end up getting transferred to a VIP ward because Amelia hadn't arranged it for him. David didn't want to spend the money he had on it either.He still had some reservations as to how his money could be spent. Amelia still sent David and Sarah meals every day. While there, she pretended not to hear all the sardonic remarks they made."If you're so sure that he's behind everything, why not just report it to the police?"Although Amelia's last conversation with Liam had ended on bad terms, she took some time to reflect on David's situation after. She figured that Liam probably wasn't behind the beating. Liam was a dignified man, after all. He wouldn't push away responsibilities like that.Even though she believed Liam wasn't behind the beating, the same couldn't be said for David and Sarah. She had no way of convincing them otherwise."What's with your attitude? I told you to think up more ways to get more money out of him, didn't I? Have you been listening to a word I s
Runaway Wife Chapter 42 Has Your Cherry Been Popped
"Amelia Jenson, you'd better stop right there!"Ava was infuriated by Amelia's words. She stopped Amelia in her tracks and panted angrily as she quickly caught up to Amelia. "You're clearly just jealous of me! You think he doesn't love me just because you can't get him hard like I can!"Amelia didn't want to engage with her any longer. When she found out that Ava had driven here in Liam's car, she had already started to feel overwhelmed. She didn't want to dwell on the finer details. If she did, her strained relationship with Liam would only be highlighted."I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't care what you think."Pushing past Ava, Amelia rushed into her place.Ava tightened her grip on the pair of sunglasses in her hand as she watched Amelia's retreating figure. She said with a sneer, "I'll make sure you understand just how dire the consequences are for crossing me. Liam Prescott can only be mine!"Amelia sat at home in a daze. When she heard a loud beep from her
Runaway Wife Chapter 43 Elegant Beauty
Soon after Amelia woke up, she received a call from Farah."Amelia, do dress up today. I'll need you to come to a dinner party with me after work.""Will do, Farah." Amelia felt appreciated when she heard that she had been invited to a dinner party with Farah. She worked even harder at her job.On her way to Astra, Amelia saw Ava's new advertisement on a billboard. The bracelet on her wrist stood out a lot.Since they ended their conversation on bad terms the last time, Amelia hadn't seen Liam.She would think of him occasionally, but she knew that the man probably hadn't thought about her at all.Liam had another woman in his life now, after all.Since this was Amelia's first work-related dinner party, she felt a little anxious. Before everyone arrived, Farah reassured her in a low voice and a smile, "The CEOs are very friendly people. You don't need to be afraid of them. I've got you covered."Amelia smiled gratefully at her."The man who'll sit next to you later is a CEO we
Runaway Wife Chapter 44 Nice to Meet You
"I'm sure that's not the case. Ms. Jenson has only just started working in the entertainment industry, after all. It's her first time meeting so many big shots all at once. She's probably just feeling a little more nervous than usual," Farah said with a sweet smile as she motioned toward Amelia."Amelia, why don't you have a drink with Mr. Prescott?" she said.All eyes were on Amelia at that moment. It made her feel uncomfortable, especially when Liam focused his gaze on her from the seat beside her.Farah handed her a glass and added, "Mr. Prescott's well-renowned in the business industry. Many would sell their soul to share a table with him. This is a very rare opportunity for all of us."Farah tightened her grip on Amelia's hand as a subtle warning.Amelia snapped back to her senses immediately. She raised her glass and said to Liam, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Prescott. Let's have a toast."Smiling faintly at her, Liam said, "Nice to meet you too."He clinked his glass against he
Runaway Wife Chapter 45 The Taste of Wine
"Here's to more opportunities to collaborate in the future," Farah said. She retracted her gaze and smiled graciously. Raising his glass with a smile, Liam drank with her politely.Once he placed the glass back on the table, Amelia immediately filled it with wine. When Liam reached for the glass, their hands brushed against each other. It made her retract her hand quickly as her cheeks blushed."Let's drop the formalities. I came barging in unannounced, after all. If my presence has ruined everyone's enjoyment, I'd like to apologize. I'll down three more glasses as punishment!" Liam exclaimed before proceeding to drink three more glasses of wine.Everyone at the table insisted humbly, saying, "Sitting at the same table as you is an honor, Mr. Prescott. Please enjoy yourself as much as you can."After that was said, everyone at the table continued to chat happily while drinking. Amelia noticed that Farah had quite a bit to drink already.When she noticed how red her boss' face ha
Runaway Wife Chapter 46 Sending Him Home
Amelia chose to ignore Liam and focused on refilling his glass with wine.Dinner parties as such often took up a considerable amount of time.By the time everyone was ready to leave, it was already 10:00 pm.Many of them were pretty drunk, with some even needing their drivers' and assistants' help to get into their cars. Even Farah seemed pretty drunk. When Amelia moved to help her stand, Liam stopped her."I'm drunk too. You should help me out," he said, then reached out to put his arm around her shoulder.Amelia stared at him in disbelief. The man seemed perfectly fine just a moment ago. How the hell did he get drunk so quickly?Farah was quick to pick up what Liam's intentions were. She walked over to them with a smile. "Amelia, some people get drunk a lot later than others. Don't be fooled by Liam's sobriety from earlier. The alcohol's probably only just starting to affect him now. Can you help send him home?""What about you?" Amelia asked Farah. She noticed that her boss l
Runaway Wife Chapter 47 Put On Your Clothes
It took Amelia a lot of effort to finally get Liam into his room. However, the man still held onto her hand, seemingly unwilling to let go.May was pleased to see her. "Madam Amelia, Mr. Prescott's been muttering about you this entire time. I know he doesn't say things like that out loud, but I know he must've missed you. Otherwise, why would he refuse to let go of your hand even while asleep?"Amelia felt a little embarrassed. She eyed the man lying on the bed, feeling her heart swell with a mix of emotions."Madam Amelia, you must be exhausted too. Why don't you stay here a little longer? That way, Mr. Prescott won't get upset if he doesn't see you when he wakes up later. I'll make him some tea so he can sober up. You can get him to drink it when he wakes up. He might get a headache otherwise."Amelia nodded. "Thank you. Sorry for the trouble.""Don't mention it. It's my job, after all."After May left, Amelia observed Liam more boldly. They had been married for three years and
Runaway Wife Chapter 48 You’ve Done It
Amelia stared at Liam, who was sleeping peacefully in bed. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions.Although she had only started working, she wasn't a clueless woman.The dinner party tonight had made her uncomfortable. She especially disliked the lecherous gaze Vincent kept shooting at her. She couldn't help but wonder what would've happened if Liam hadn't been around. Would Vincent have made a move on her?Her phone rang suddenly. She snapped out of her thoughts and answered it quickly."Hi, Farah. Did you get home okay?"On the other end of the phone, Farah was leaning against a warm chest. She slid her fingers along the broad chest as she replied, "Yeah, I'm staying at a hotel right now. Have you sent Mr. Prescott home yet?"Amelia glanced at the man on the bed. "Yes, I have. He looks like he's deep in sleep right now."Farah smirked when she heard that. Judging by the way Amelia talked about Liam's current state, it was clear that she was still at his place."That's grea

She was a true heiress of a wealthy family."After finding out your background, I wanted my son to fulfill this regret for me since I couldn't be with the woman I loved. 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.

From there, she learned that their business had recovered quite a bit.Amelia sat at her desk and tapped her fingers on the table as she contemplated the reasons for this change.Was it because everyone at the banquet learned that she was Liam's wife?Or perhaps Liam had stopped targeting the Lancasters?Amelia's thoughts were in a disarray.

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
Runaway Wife Chapter 794 I Have Never Changed
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
Runaway Wife Chapter 792 Proposal
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
Runaway Wife Chapter 791 Pushing Her Away
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? Liam's just venting his anger on us. He won't trouble us again once his anger dissipates.""Of c
