Amelia had also fantasized about what she would do if she ever met that woman one day.She had imagined many ways they might encounter each other, but she never expected it to happen like this.It turned out that even between a mother and a daughter, recognition didn't always happen at first sight.No, perhaps it just didn't happen at first sight to her.Amelia recalled the time she saw Monica at the hospital with Hannah. She had marveled at Monica's care and love for Hannah. She had never thought that they were blood-related."Amelia, if you still have a sense of shame and want to acknowledge me as your mother, you should give Liam back to Hannie!" Monica started accusing Amelia again before Amelia could even fully comprehend the news. "You're just a country girl, you don't deserve to be with Liam! He married you just to spite Hannie. The two of you are fundamentally incompatible. You won't be happy if you force yourselves to be together!" Monica said.Amelia felt bitter liste
"I gave birth to you and your grandparents raised you. It's your responsibility to take care of them! Look at yourself. You haven't given your grandparents a good life even after marrying Liam. What's the point of continuing such a marriage?"Isn't it better to divorce sooner, take the money, and take care of your grandparents? It's only right to repay them for raising you!" Monica exclaimed.Amelia shook her head as she listened to Monica's words. She no longer had any expectations for Monica. It seemed that there was no difference whether she had a mother or not.Or perhaps it did have a difference. But having such a mother would just be poking at her sore spots. And it made Amelia even more disappointed in the world."I mentioned that my grandparents are sick, but you didn't even ask what happened. A daughter like you doesn't deserve to be a mother! I was raised by my grandparents. I don't have a mother. So no matter what you say, I won't listen to you."Today, I'll pretend t
"Take a moment to think about it. When was the last time Liam contacted you? Aren't your parents also reluctant to help you after the commotion?"Hannah became even more suspicious when Amelia asked her those questions. However, she still refused to admit it.She said, "Don't try to deceive me. I won't admit to anything that I haven't done. I'm not afraid of what you said. And Liam won't believe you either."He hasn't contacted me recently because he's angry about the interview I gave without his permission. Speaking of which, it's all because you let your friend talk nonsense in front of the reporters and made things worse. That's why Liam's upset with me!"And my parents haven't stopped supporting me. In fact, they believe that Liam belongs to me. They think that I should take him back myself so that he'll cherish me more in the future!""Pfft!" Amelia couldn't help but laugh sarcastically. Her mocking tone made Hannah's face contort.Deep down, Hannah was well aware that Lia
"My daughter-in-law is right. If she wants to learn about the rules, I will teach her as her mother-in-law. The Prescotts are a prestigious family. We don't need some unknown nanny for that!"Hearing this voice, Amelia was greatly surprised. But then, she secretly sighed.What was with today? Why was everyone coming over? And now, Ember had seen what was happening."Aunt Ember!" Hannah greeted her with a pleasing smile. She then made way for Ember, planning to follow her into the house.However, as soon as Ember entered, she stood beside Amelia. She showed no intention of letting the two enter. And there wasn't even a hint of a smile on her face when she looked at Hannah.Ember's indifferent expression made Hannah's heart pound hard. Something seemed off. Ember never showed her dislike so blatantly in public even if she hadn't liked her previously. Especially since she had lived with the Prescotts for some time."Aunt Ember, I came to accompany Amelia since she had quit the e
Although Ember's words seemed reprimanding, Amelia could still sense the underlying meaning.When she looked at Ember's gaze, she couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude.Amelia was an easy-to-please person. So regardless of Ember's previous attitude toward her, the fact that Ember spoke such words was the indirect approval that she needed.Amelia smiled and nodded. "I will do my best not to embarrass the Prescotts.""Do you have any plans after quitting the entertainment industry?" This was their first real conversation. Ember felt a bit awkward, but she endured it and asked the question, albeit a bit stiffly.Even though Amelia didn't know why Ember's attitude had changed, she appreciated the fact that Ember initiated the conversation.She remembered that Liam had also said that she should really think about what she wanted to do. She was just about to reply when she heard the door open.Liam came into the house with May following behind."Lia, are you okay?" he asked.
Liam's face darkened after hearing Amelia recount her encounter with Hannah."I went to see Charles Lancaster and told him about Hannah's plot against us a few days ago. At first, he insisted that I had no evidence. So I gave him the recordings of the confession from those waitresses. So he had nothing more to say."Liam remembered that Charles didn't seem surprised about what he told him. Seeing that Charles didn't doubt him, evidently, it reaffirmed the fact that Hannah had indeed done such a thing.Perhaps he was protecting Hannah or realized that it was not something glorious, so Charles didn't want to admit to the incident. However, he had no other option once the evidence was presented to him."You're aware that Hannie is very persistent in matters concerning you. Otherwise, she wouldn't have done something so foolish! Now that we know the truth, I'll stop her. I won't let her do such embarrassing things again. Seeing that Hannie and you are childhood friends, can't we just l
"I came to you at the earliest opportunity after obtaining this recording. Doesn't that count as giving the Lancasters some leeway?" Liam's lips curled into a mocking smile.He continued, "In fact, I'm well aware that you look down on the Prescotts. But at the same time, you understand that the Lancasters are not what you all used to be. Without the support of the Prescotts, you would only decline even faster."But what I don't understand is, since you rely on us, why do you tolerate Hannah's reckless behavior? I don't believe that you and Mrs. Lancaster are unaware of Hannah's actions!"The reasons behind it could be figured out easily, but was human nature truly this dirty?Then, Liam said, "You covet the Prescotts, wanting to take over us. You took advantage of … my guilt and promises, allowing Hannah to stay by my side with the hope of controlling the Prescotts. That's why you harbored resentment toward Lia when she suddenly appeared by my side!"You felt that her presence sha
Amelia had felt confused by Monica's appearance. However, the way Monica defended Hannah and pressured Amelia diminished the expectations she once had for her.Amelia had said those harsh things to Monica in a fit of anger. But after calming down, she did regret her actions. After all, Monica had given birth to her.Despite Amelia claiming to have confirmed that Monica was her mother, Liam still had someone verify it. However, he simply kept quiet when the maternity test was confirmed.Liam wished that Amelia could live her life as before, prior to Monica's appearance. He knew better than Amelia about Monica's care for Hannah, having grown up with Hannah. Monica truly treated Hannah as her own daughter.Monica was just a nanny in the Lancasters and she wasn't even very capable either. She also didn't have any outstanding abilities and wasn't really diligent in her job. And aside from her, there were other servants in the Lancasters too.However, Monica had a special standin
