"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
As Amelia was about to leave the nursing home, she hesitated for a moment before deciding to ask her grandfather, "Grandpa, did that woman … contact you?"Peter seemed a bit puzzled momentarily and wasn't sure who Amelia was referring to. After a moment, he realized and shook his head with a bitter smile, "No, there has been no contact with the family since she left. She might have …"Lia, you've never met her and she never raised you. You don't have to … just treat her as if she never existed."These words revealed how much Monica had hurt the elderly man as a father.Amelia quickly smiled to divert his attention. "I know. I've always treated her as if she never existed. After all, I've never seen her. It's just that everyone else has a mother, so I … Now that you said she never contacted the family, I won't think about her anymore."Peter nodded. "Stop thinking about her. I've treated her as non-existent in my heart. It's been so long. Even if she didn't want to see your grandma
On Amelia's birthday, Alex called and asked her to go out early in the morning."Here's your birthday present!" Alex pushed a box toward Amelia. Amelia was a little surprised. She said with a smile, "You're as straightforward as ever. You didn't even wish me a happy birthday." Alex waved her hand. "We don't need those empty words between us."Amelia didn't bother with pleasantries either and directly opened the box. There was a watch in it. Alex personally put it on Amelia's wrist and scrutinized it for a while. "It looks great!" she commented."Yes, you have a good eye!" Amelia responded with a smile.Alex glanced meaningfully at her. "Of course. If I hadn't noticed it, I wouldn't have given it to you!""Yeah, I'm lucky to have this watch chosen by you!" Amelia thought she was joking about the watch and laughed along.Alex didn't explain further and simply kept her gaze on Amelia's wrist.Amelia tightened her face slightly when she sensed Alex's gaze. "What are you doing?
Amelia felt touched looking at the cake. She hadn't expected Eric to remember her birthday. At that moment, she thought of Liam. Would he remember her birthday? Last year, they gave each other the cold shoulder during her birthday, and she didn't mention it to him either. He probably didn't know. But this year, Amelia felt that their relationship was different. Would Liam consider finding out about these details? There was hope in Amelia's heart, but she dared not hope too much for fear of disappointment. After the meal, Amelia suggested going home and asked Alex if she wanted to go together. Alex shook her head. "No, I have some things to take care of later. You go ahead!" Amelia didn't think much of it. She simply bid farewell to the two and left the hotel."You're a master at acting. It's a shame you're not an actress with such skills!" Eric, who had been smiling, suddenly taunted Alex after Amelia left. "Eric, I can't compare to you when it comes to acting. Why
