Maria was initially hesitant, but after hearing Christopher and Peter's exchange, she didn't believe David either. She said, "David, you said that Amelia took the house you built, but don't forget, that house was built with the money Amelia gave you. It's only fair if she wants to take it back. Your leg is crippled, but that's not because of Amelia. She even covered your medical expenses. You can't blame Amelia just because your leg hasn't healed." David looked at the three of them in disbelief. Not only did his son not support him, but now, even his parents were unwilling to help him!"Mom, Dad, I'm your son. You'll still have to rely on me in the future!" David said. As soon as he said this, both Peter and Maria became angry. They regretted coming back if this was how things were going to be! It was tiresome enough for Liam and Amelia to be traveling back and forth. Not only did they not receive any gratitude, but now David had the nerve to boast before them. "How dare y
David fell into deep thought and his face immediately turned pale. Liam approached Amelia and asked softly, "Are you going in?" Amelia shook her head and pulled him back to their room. "I'm afraid I'll put Grandpa and Grandma in a hard place if I go in. After all, we are all their flesh and blood. It's not good to show favoritism," she said. Although Peter and Maria didn't believe David's words, he was still their son. They couldn't help but feel concerned.The reason they didn't say anything against Amelia, as David wished, was because they genuinely believed in her character. But at the end of the day, blood was thicker than water. After waking up from a nap, Amelia didn't see David around. She didn't ask about him, but Christopher explained anyway, "My dad went to a friend's house. He'll be back after dinner." Amelia didn't inquire further about David's so-called friend. Knowing his character, she didn't expect him to have genuine friends. So she chose to remain ign
Amelia deliberately dressed up before meeting Hannah. Hannah's eyes widened in surprise to see Amelia in delicate makeup. Despite all her previous efforts, Hannah couldn't drive Amelia away from Liam. Instead, she managed to make Liam detest herself even more. For this meeting, Hannah had dressed up elaborately. She intended to save herself from any more embarrassment. Even if she had lost Liam, she wanted to find another way to humiliate Amelia. However, she didn't expect that Amelia, who usually wore no makeup, had chosen to wear makeup that day.Hannah naturally had cute and lovely features, and she looked even more adorable after dressing up. However, in Amelia's presence, she seemed less noticeable. And this only served to emphasize Amelia's overall charisma. "I thought you didn't want to know what I had to say. We agreed to meet, but you didn't show up. I called you, but you didn't answer!" Hannah started taunting as soon as Amelia sat down. After returning home alo
The word husband was like a knife running through Hannah's heart.How she wished that one day she could proudly tell others that Liam was her husband too! Despite her unwillingness and dislike of Amelia's arrogant demeanor, she had to endure it. Thinking of the secret she knew about Liam, Hannah couldn't help but gloat, "Do you really think that marrying Liam and making him dislike me will secure your position as Mrs. Prescott? Let me tell you, it's simply wishful thinking!" As Amelia observed Hannah's confidence, a sudden unease arose in her heart, but she didn't show it."I know you're not happy, but there's nothing you can do. You must learn to accept reality. Otherwise, you won't even be able to step out with grace!" she said. "Hmph!" Hannah sneered, "You don't have to scare me. Do you think I can't beat you? Just think about it. The reason you won is that Liam and your so-called friend helped you. What have you done yourself?" Amelia's expression faltered and she stare
Amelia kept thinking of Hannah's words.Though she didn't show it on her face, she would contemplate Hannah's words while looking at Liam, who'd be fast asleep during quiet nights. In the past, she hadn't thought much about it and hadn't paid attention. But now, thinking carefully, Liam often looked at her with a nostalgic expression, especially during the first year of their marriage. However, every time she tried to engage in a conversation with him, he would look angry, as if something troubled him. Could it be that during those times, he was thinking about another woman? Did he lose his temper at her because she interrupted his memories of that woman? "Lia, you've been staring. I'd think I neglected you and caused you to lose sleep." Liam sighed softly. He couldn't calm down and go to sleep with Amelia staring at him so passionately. Especially this late in the night! Not only that, but his calm heart also became restless again, as if he needed some relief. Amelia
When Amelia drove the car Liam gave her to the agreed location, she felt a bit puzzled. It was a high-end apartment complex, and Alex recently bought a house here. She mentioned that she'd been living here lately. As the car entered the complex, Amelia remembered that Eric also seemed to live here.Coincidentally, Alex's apartment was right next to Eric's. For some reason, Amelia had an uncertain feeling in her heart. "You finally made it. It's not easy to get you out for a gathering!" Alex pulled Amelia inside. When Amelia saw the person smiling at her, she was momentarily stunned. But it didn't surprise her. "Mr. Richards and I are neighbors now. He heard that you were coming today, so he came to visit me! You sit first. I'll be in the kitchen. We rarely get together like this, so I'm cooking a nice meal for you two." Amelia suddenly realized that Alex seemed to be giving her and Eric the chance to be alone intentionally. She was unsure about Alex's intentions. "I'
Eric's gaze swept over Amelia's wrist. His expression faltered. "That bracelet is beautiful, but you're still young. It might be a bit early to wear bracelets. You could wear a watch instead." Amelia's smile deepened at the mention of the bracelet. "You're right. I think so too. But this bracelet was a gift from my mother-in-law." Initially, Amelia wanted to say "Liam's mother", but considering Eric's relationship with Liam, she refrained from mentioning Liam's name. However, their relationship was evident, and no matter how she addressed it, it couldn't be avoided. Fortunately, Eric didn't mind. He nodded. "I see."After a while, he said, "You seem different now. I remember that although you used to feel upset about Madam Prescott's attitude toward you, you weren't eager to please her." But now, Amelia had been wearing the bracelet Ember gave her for a long time. Wasn't that a form of goodwill? Amelia shook her head and explained, "It's different now, and people chang
Ava was the one who set Amelia up. She thought that if she couldn't get Liam, she would make Amelia lose him instead. So she arranged for someone to deal with Eric and Amelia. As for Hannah, she wanted to divert Amelia's attention and make Liam misunderstand the relationship between her and Eric. It just happened that she managed to point out Eric's location to Amelia. Similarly, Hannah had her own plans. She also thought about using the banquet to achieve her goals. But the difference was that Hannah's goal wasn't to ruin Amelia's innocence, but her own. Regardless of whether Liam was married or not, as long as he destroyed her innocence in front of everyone, he wouldn't be able to escape. With a little more manipulation, she could force him to take responsibility for her. As long as she became Liam's, she couldn't care less about what happened to Amelia.However, due to a series of unexpected events, neither of them foresaw that even after implementing their perfect plan
