"Amelia, that's enough!" Karen couldn't help but feel distressed watching Hannah in such pain. Her gaze toward Amelia carried a hint of displeasure and anger. Before Amelia could say anything, Liam sneered. "I'm not sure what you mean by that, Mrs. Lancaster. What is enough? Did we do something wrong or disrespect the Lancaster family?" Of course, they hadn't. "But don't you think you're crossing a line? You clearly know, Hannie ... You're being a bully by behaving like this!" Karen knew Liam was difficult to deal with, so she deliberately called Amelia's name. However, she didn't expect Liam to respond for her.Looking at his attitude, he had no intention of letting Amelia handle this either. He just wanted her to sit and accept Hannah's apology.He was just like his father! "Enough. Hannie, you have to accept this," Karen said. Hannah was unwilling to give in, but thinking of Charles's harsh words and the unacceptable consequences, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm s
Amelia squeezed Liam's hand to stop him from saying anything further. Then, she looked at Hannah while speaking to Karen. "Mrs. Lancaster, it seems Hannah has a lot on her mind. If you don't let her speak today, she'll keep it all bottled up. It's not good for her to keep it in her heart like that!" Karen knew well that Hannah wanted to vent. After all, she had endured a lot of frustration lately. She was pressured by Charles, the interests of the Lancaster family, and her future. But over time, even Hannah couldn't hold it in."Since Ms. Lancaster has started, it might seem heartless if I don't let you continue. So go ahead and say whatever you want. I promise not to do anything to the Lancaster family because of what you say today," Amelia said. Hannah wouldn't have believed Amelia's words in the past, but today, she needed an outlet for her emotions. So she genuinely let go of her worries and spoke freely, "If you insist on an apology, I can apologize. But I can also tell
After dinner, Amelia fell silent upon seeing Liam naturally following her into the bedroom. Liam felt a pang of uneasiness and quickly said, "Last night, I wanted to leave, but you insisted that I stayed. You won't throw me out after getting what you wanted, would you?" Amelia was speechless. She wanted to ask, "What happened to your image as a big boss? Don't you want it anymore?"But looking at his pitiful and sad demeanor, she couldn't bring herself to kick him out so heartlessly. Fortunately, Liam could control himself. So that night, he simply held her and slept peacefully. However, before drifting off to sleep, he uttered something that made Amelia worry about her future nights. "I'll let you off tonight, but you'll have to pay it back in the future. You should know I'm a normal adult, just like you are. I have needs too." Amelia angrily retorted, "I don't have those needs!" "You do. Otherwise, why did you willingly stay with me last night?"That was because he to
Peter called to say that Maria's health had improved recently. Then, Peter asked Amelia when she would be free. So Amelia knew they wanted to visit home.Amelia didn't think about it too much. She merely skipped through the weekdays on her calendar and stopped on a Saturday. After arranging a time, Peter didn't say much to her and hung up the phone. He was eager to share the good news with Maria. When Liam returned in the evening, Amelia told him about it. Liam didn't object and smiled, saying, "You've thought it through so thoroughly. Since you and your grandparents have agreed, I'll accompany you on the trip." Considering what David and Christopher did, she feared Liam might disagree. After all, what they did was not worthy of any sympathy. But most importantly, Amelia knew that Liam didn't like David. One could even say he was repulsed by him. "Thank you, Liam!" Amelia said."Silly, we're married. You don't have to be so formal with me," Liam replied. On the day they w
Perhaps people had known they were coming. Upon arriving, they noticed someone waiting in the distance. As they got closer, Christopher came into view. Compared to their last meeting, he appeared noticeably thinner. He approached with a smile and greeted them. Amelia noticed that Peter and Maria looked excited. In the past, Christopher wouldn't have been so polite to them. However, Amelia didn't say anything. Today, she had brought her grandparents home to make them happy after all. Christopher narrowed his eyes at Liam, his expression becoming somewhat tense. "Mr. Prescott! You're here too." "Get in the car. Let's go back together." Liam didn't respond, he just calmly spoke. "Well ..." Christopher hesitated. He looked at the car but showed no intention of getting in.Amelia observed his worn-out clothes, unable to tell their original color. She speculated that Christopher might be afraid of dirtying the car and angering Liam. That might be why he hesitated to ge
As they were staying overnight there, Amelia and Liam went to their room after settling her grandparents down. The room was very clean, but there was only furniture inside. So Amelia had to tidy up the bedding herself. Meanwhile, Christopher was cutting vegetables in the kitchen. He spoke with a straight face, "Don't provoke them anymore or you might even lose a place to stay!" David looked resentful and said, "This house was mine. I built it with my money. Why shouldn't she let me live here? She's so unreasonable! "Besides, I raised her. She should take care of me in my old age! It's good enough that I'm not causing trouble for her since she's so ungrateful. Why should she give me a hard time!" Christopher slammed the knife on the cutting board. He looked at David angrily and said, "Don't forget who paid to fix your leg. They also found a job for me so that you wouldn't starve!" David responded in annoyance, "But they were the reason this happened to me! If Amelia were
Liam's face darkened as he left the kitchen. He obviously knew what David meant when he mentioned the way Christopher looked at Amelia. He had investigated Christopher before he came looking for Amelia.According to Amelia, Christopher took care of her when she was a child. If that were true, Liam wouldn't mind helping him. However, the investigation revealed things that made him want to push Christopher into a bottomless abyss so that he couldn't make it back out. But Liam held back since Christopher was Amelia's relative. He also feared that she might blame him later on. There was a reason Christopher's attitude toward Amelia had changed after that incident by the water. It was because Sarah noticed Christopher's feelings for Amelia. Christopher was her pride and joy. Sarah couldn't stand to watch him fall for that pathetic girl. So she reprimanded and threatened him. She even insulted and spoke ill of Amelia and her mother. After that, Christopher distanced himself from A
David cried, thinking he could get Peter and Maria to speak to Amelia, preferably to ask for some money out of her. However, Peter and Maria were somewhat skeptical, wearing hesitant expressions. In the adjacent room, Amelia was filled with anger upon hearing this. How could David accuse her of harming him? He even mentioned that she offended someone she shouldn't have offended, and that person directed their anger at him. He was the one who lost money gambling and couldn't repay his debts. Now he was blaming her!Amelia never refused to give him money. There was even once when Liam paid him a substantial amount so Amelia would be able to cut ties with him, but she ended up giving him more later on anyway. David was deeply in debt, and Amelia gave the money to Sarah. But she had no idea Sarah took the money and left. That had nothing to do with her! She wanted to go out and talk to David, but Liam stopped her. "Don't be hasty. Let's see what he has to say." Liam's focus
