The sudden silence was terrifying.After Amelia shouted those words, she didn't hear any response from Liam. Then, she finally looked at him.His eyes were red and filled with despair. She could see that he was enduring something, and his gaze was dark. There was also a dispirited and disbelieving look on his face.Amelia felt like her heart was getting squeezed when she saw that.Did she hurt him just now?Feeling a sudden pain in her heart, she forced herself to look away from him.So what if she hurt him? He had hurt her before too, hadn't he?"I will never file a divorce, not even after I die."His voice was light, but Amelia could hear the determined tone in his voice."I've already made up my mind. Even if you don't agree with it, you can't change my mind," Amelia spoke firmly, but her heart ached."If that's the case, then you … I'll never let you leave. I won't give you even a sliver of a chance." When Liam said the latter part of his sentence, his voice was very lo
Now that things had already happened, no matter how inappropriate Amelia thought Alex's actions were, she had no other choice. She could only figure out how to deal with the next step.Amelia originally thought that the next few days would be filled with trouble. But unexpectedly, she didn't receive any harassment over the next few days. She didn't even get any phone calls from Astra.Amelia was a little puzzled. She wanted to take a look on the internet, but she always lost connection. Even her phone signal flickered on and off.At first, Amelia didn't mind it. She only thought that the signal was faulty. But now that the phenomenon had persisted for two days, she began to find it a little odd.Since she couldn't go online, Amelia went out to have a look instead. However, when she was about to go out, May stopped her."Madam, Mr. Prescott said that things have been a little chaotic these days, so he doesn't want you to go out."Amelia frowned. "What does he mean by that?"May
After staying in the study for a while, Amelia was about to go out when she noticed someone standing by the door.Amelia was startled.The person said calmly, "She was determined to put everything on the line. If I didn't agree to it, she might have had other tricks up her sleeve in the future. And if that were the case, I'd rather have her right under my nose. Then I can both achieve our goal, and keep an eye on her."Amelia glanced at him. Pouting, she said, "What does that have to do with me?"Despite saying that, she still felt touched. Liam must have heard her words just now, so he was explaining himself to her.Compared to what he had explained before, saying that he'd made that choice for her sake, Amelia felt she could understand this explanation better.However …"Isn't she always pure and kind in your heart? Why would you be so wary of her?" she asked.Liam walked in. But at the same time, Amelia took a few steps backward. A hurt look flashed in Liam's eyes. Then, h
"You're smart, and also a little cunning. I won't let you go out alone as long as you still intend to divorce. I don't want to come home one day to find you missing," Liam replied, his expression dark. He couldn't stand it every time he imagined that scene. So he would never allow that day to come!"You!" Amelia shoved Liam away, feeling indignant as she walked out of the study.She sat on the couch, sulking for a moment before she heard her phone beeping.Her eyes lit up. Someone had sent her a message. Did this mean that she had a signal now?She raised her phone and looked at it. The signal bars were full, and the internet connection was working."Amelia, when are we meeting up again?" It was a message from Alex. Elated, Amelia was about to reply. But she had only typed out a few words before remembering that she was grounded.She looked at Liam, who was beside her. "I'm going to meet up with a friend. I want to go out!"Liam frowned. "Which friend?""Is that any of yo
"Of course I—"Like it?That was what Amelia always thought, but when she was forced to pause work these days, she didn't feel anxious about it. She wasn't trying to think of other ways to continue working either.If she truly liked her job, shouldn't she be more anxious about it?Amelia hesitated a little.Of course, Liam noticed her hesitance. His mood got a little better, but he didn't show it on his face. He said, "Take your time to think about it. If you truly like it and want to continue acting, I can allow you to make a comeback next year, after people stop targeting you.""Really?" Amelia asked. She looked at Liam in disbelief. She could barely believe that he would give in so easily."Of course. I'll keep my word.""Oh, okay!" Amelia nodded, not doubting him in that aspect at all. She didn't realize it, but when she asked that question, she was already agreeing to his arrangements.Liam was even happier that in Amelia's subconscious mind, she seemed to have alread
"Hah. Even so, it doesn't change the fact that she wants to be a homewrecker!" Amelia exclaimed.Moreover, Hannah wasn't innocent at all in the incident that night!"Lia, these are all our subjective views. You need to have evidence to back your claims. Without evidence, the Lancasters will never admit to it. After all, Hannah was the one who lost her innocence and child!"Of course Liam knew how obsessed Hannah was with getting married to him. When he thought of Hannah's actions now, he believed Amelia. Perhaps it was Hannah's own fault that her child was gone.But there was no evidence at all. Not just the Lancasters, but even James and Ember didn't believe that Hannah would get rid of her child.In the past, it was exactly because he behaved like this that Amelia was disappointed in him."Have you ever wondered what I said to Hannah that day, that caused this incident to happen?" Amelia asked.Liam said in a low voice, "I asked Hannah about it. She said that you misunderstood
In the end, Amelia didn't manage to meet up with Alex.Even though she had calmed down quite a lot, she was still upset with Liam. She didn't have freedom at home, so if she was still restrained even if she went out, she would rather not go out at all.She wanted to relax by meeting up with Alex, but if Liam insisted on following, she wouldn't be able to relax at all.Alex was quite sad when she heard that Amelia wasn't coming. But Amelia found something odd—Alex didn't insult Liam for not letting her go out.Instead, Alex told her to stay at home and spend quality time with Liam in case the misunderstanding got even worse.She didn't notice it before, but now that she thought about it, starting a long time ago, Alex had begun to coax her to live a happy life with Liam.For the next few days, Liam resumed his schedule of leaving early and coming home late.Every day when he came back, he would tell her about what happened at work, just like before. He would also chat about h
When Amelia saw Karen begging for Hannah's sake, she felt a little sad. But she also felt strong feelings of envy toward Hannah.Hannah was so lucky to have a mother who loved her so much.Amelia chuckled bitterly. She felt as if every time she met Karen, she would think of her mother whom she had never met. She even wished to have a mother like Karen."At the press conference, your friend said that Hannie is …. That she wanted to destroy your marriage with Liam. Your friend even said that Hannie had lost her child, but she wanted to blame it on you. Now, everyone is treating Hannie like …. She doesn't even dare to go out of the house. Compared to after that night at the banquet, her emotions are even more fragile now."Her father and I tried to salvage things and hide her, but this matter concerns you too. Liam won't allow us to cause trouble for you again. So Hannie had no choice but to accept those charges."She's just a woman. With a reputation like that, how can she find a
