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
"What are you doing?" Upon hearing Liam's voice, Amelia quickly closed her laptop. She had just started and didn't want him to know the details yet. "Nothing. I was bored, so I did some online shopping and read the news. Why are you back so early today? You're in a good mood. Is there something worth celebrating?" Liam had a smile on his face, which was different from his usual self. He was clearly very happy about something. But Amelia thought it looked more like a smug expression."I heard some good news and thought that since you weren't with me, I'd rush back to share it with you," Liam said. Amelia's curiosity was piqued by his words. She smiled and asked, "What's the matter? Is it really worth pausing your work and coming back?" "Hannah's marriage is settled." Liam had a mysterious and quirky smile. Amelia was curious, but she looked at him teasingly. "You still can't let go of her, can you? That's why you've been keeping an eye on her affairs!" He chuckled a
Liam's puppy eyes looked so innocent, they caused Amelia to involuntarily chuckle. "I'm serious. Setting aside your personal biases of him, he is indeed an outstanding man. Of course, you're the most outstanding to me!" In the end, Amelia added this sentence to make him happy. Only then did Liam stop arguing with her. He snorted proudly, agreeing with her words. Then, he said, "You haven't asked me about what happened next. Aren't you curious whether your friend accepted this marriage proposal or not?" "He should have accepted it!" Eric was a righteous and upright person. Since Hannah chose him, she undoubtedly would not give him the opportunity to refuse. Moreover, Amelia believed that Eric must probably be aware of what actually happened during that incident."Then, you're wrong. Eric isn't as good as you think." Liam sneered as he recalled Gio's report. When Charles went to Astra to discuss the marriage proposal, Eric not only refused, but also asked him to leave. "
As the two discussed Eric, the person in point was sitting at home, face as dark as a storm. He hadn't expected the Lancaster family to come knocking on his door! "Liam wouldn't take a loss in silence. For Amelia's sake, he cut off all business dealings with the Lancaster family. It's almost like declaring publicly that he has severed ties with them. At this point, the Lancaster family's business had plummeted, and naturally, Charles was not happy. "If it doesn't work out with Liam, he'll have to find someone else, someone who can take care of Hannah for a lifetime, bring benefits to the Lancaster family, and support their business. "Those who aren't as good as the Lancaster family, he dismisses. And those who are better are just a few. Besides, even the better ones wouldn't agree to the marriage out of respect for the Prescott Group. And Charles wouldn't be content with someone from the likes of the Lancaster family either!" By Eric's side was Alex. She looked equally unple
