"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
Amelia was well aware of the significant difference in social status between her and Liam.Now, with the appearance of Monica, her identity would be a disgrace to the Prescotts if the Lancasters had any malicious intentions.However, what choice did she have?Amelia couldn't choose her parents. Otherwise, who wouldn't wish to be born into a well-off family if they were given the choice?"Mom, Lia is Lia, and she is who she is. They are not connected," Liam quickly spoke up to defend her.Ember glared at Liam and said, "I know you want to defend your wife, but this is something that we must face. Given the current situation, do you really think the Lancasters care about the interests of the Prescotts?"There was a moment of silence among them. Amelia bit her lip lightly. "How about we …""No!" Liam quickly vetoed it before she could even finish her sentence.Amelia gave him a puzzled look. How did he know what she wanted to say?"No matter what you want to say, I won't agree!
Liam wasn't surprised at the condition proposed by Charles. However, he smiled and said, "Mr. Lancaster, it seems quite difficult to fulfill the condition you've mentioned.""How could it be difficult? You just have to say the word. Or is it that you're unwilling to do so?" Charles expressed his dissatisfaction at Liam's refusal. He continued, "Or perhaps you don't mind people knowing that your wife is the daughter of the Lancasters' nanny? In fact, I don't necessarily have to rely on the Prescotts. With Mrs. Jenson around, I believe others would still be willing to spare some sentiments to the Lancasters!" Charles said confidently.Liam's face turned colder. "Mr. Lancaster, sincerity is crucial when discussing conditions. Honestly, considering the recent behavior of the Lancasters, I doubt that you would keep this matter confidential even if I agreed to your conditions.""You have no other choice unless you divorce Ms. Jenson!" Charles' words make Hannah look at Liam with antic
"Lia, come try on this dress!" As soon as Amelia entered the hospital room, Maria waved at her and handed her a dress.Amelia smiled and looked at the dress. Then, she noticed a sewing machine in the room.The caregiver explained with a smile, "Mrs. Jenson Senior is much more agile now. She can walk some distance without the cane. She couldn't sit still and insisted on making you a dress. She kept saying that it's been years since she last made one for you.""Grandma!" Amelia was deeply moved, but she didn't express her approval. "I don't lack any clothes, so you don't need to work so hard. You haven't fully recovered yet either, don't strain yourself …""I'm fine," Maria waved her hand. "I know my body. I won't overexert myself. And I didn't rush this dress. It took quite some time!""Yes, it took almost half a month! Mrs. Jenson Senior knew you'd worry, so she only worked on it a little each day. She even instructed me not to tell you until it was done. She wanted to surprise yo
