Hannah's words left both of them shocked.Liam was agitated. He seized Hannah and exclaimed, "Explain to me. What's happening? Who is that man?"Amelia felt a knot in her stomach watching Liam in such a state, and it was undoubtedly worse for Hannah."I told you I don't know the guy, but Leona might. When he brought her back, she could barely walk. My mom had to help her clean up. And I took a peek—she was covered in marks." Hannah explained.Uncertain of what to do, Amelia bit her lip. Her eyes shifted to Liam, and she noticed the veins bulging on his hands. The intensity of his gaze on Hannah seemed like he wanted to strangle her."Why couldn't she walk, and what marks are you talking about? Hannah, don't play games. Leo has always been good to you since your childhood. Don't make me feel like you don't deserve to be Leo's sister!" Liam roared.A tear fell onto Liam's hand, but he showed no sign of releasing his grip.Hannah felt hurt. She didn't do anything wrong, and Leona
Liam's feet shuffled a bit. "Do you still want to know about Leona?" Hannah asked.Liam hesitated for a moment, but eventually, he sat down on the sofa.He said, "You better not have any funny ideas. Otherwise, I don't mind helping out the Lambert family and speeding up the marriage between their daughter and Eric."Hannah's expression changed. She was angry and embarrassed. But in the end, she revealed what she knew."Liam, you're an adult man. You must know what could happen to a woman when she's alone outside at night. "She met a few men. I don't know what kind of men they were, but I know what those marks on a woman's body represent. You should know too, right?""You—" Liam could guess it, but he found it hard to believe."Don't forget, she's your sister. Something's happened to her, why aren't you worried at all?""Sister?" Hannah laughed so much that there were tears in her eyes. "You're just like them. All you can see is Leona. Everyone says I'm her younger sister and
Though Liam said he would be back soon, it was already Monday morning when Amelia saw him again.Liam entered with a tired and dejected expression while Amelia was having breakfast. But upon seeing Amelia, he put on a smile. "Lia."Amelia glanced at him for a second, then, she lowered her head to continue eating.Liam's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, but he smiled again. "I'll go shower and change. I'll drive you to work later."Amelia didn't reply. Liam glanced at her before heading back to the room.Amelia tightened her grip on the spoon and resumed eating, as though nothing had happened. However, her movements were faster than before.When Liam came out dressed after a while, he didn't see Amelia anywhere.At that moment, May was tidying up the table. Seeing his actions, she understood he was looking for Amelia.She sighed softly and said, "Madam has already left.""Left?" Liam's heart skipped a beat, repeating her word."Yeah, she went to work. She said s
"Hey, what a rare guest we have here!"When Lucas received the news, he pushed open the door to the president's office. He was delighted to see the person inside.Before he even reached the company, he had heard from the receptionist that a visitor had arrived and was already in his office. So he hurriedly rushed over.Liam frowned and glanced at Lucas. "It's already 9:30 am. The role of company president seems like an easy job for you."Lucas immediately put on a mournful face. "Easy? How can it be easy? I've been working my ass off. Why didn't you come help me, Liam? I'm struggling alone here, arguing with those old guys every day, and you didn't even think of helping me."Liam snorted coldly. "You're the president of Prime Studios, not me.""But you're—""Cut the nonsense. Just do your job well. Since the establishment of the company, you've been doing fine, haven't you? Stop complaining. If you have the ability, show it, and let people see that you're not inferior to anyon
"I've known Leo since our childhood. We went to the same school. Our friendship is similar to that of Lucas and I."Amelia looked at Liam suspiciously.Friendship?Her gaze made Liam feel a bit awkward. He remained silent for a moment, then, he smiled wryly. "Lia, if I tell you the truth, I'm afraid you'll get angry. But if I don't, you won't believe me. What should I say?"Amelia chuckled. "You can say whatever you want." After all, she wasn't a fool. She had seen all his actions."I admit, I had feelings for Leo, but that was before I knew you. If I had known I would meet you later on, I wouldn't—"Amelia reached out and covered his mouth."Don't talk about these hypothetical things. They will never happen. They won't make your words more credible either."They wouldn't change her mind.After all, she already knew about his feelings for Leona. She knew that he had liked Leona since childhood.Liam looked at Amelia helplessly, realizing that women were indeed hard to pleas
"I already said I felt nothing for her while I was dating Lily. She enjoyed the rights of being my girlfriend. I gave her my money and introduced her to my social circle."Amelia didn't feel bitter at all hearing Liam speak about Lily. In fact, she was reminded of her old self.The first three years of their marriage was just like how he described his relationship with Lily. He was never stingy in giving her money to spend.Liam had given her a card she could swipe with and provided her with a wealthy life. Amelia had just been too cautious and rarely spent his money, save to send some items back home to Bryxton. Because of that, Amelia had no clue how much money was in that card.But in comparison, one thing was different—Amelia had no clue about Liam's circle of friends back then.If she thought about it carefully, there were actually a lot more differences.When Liam was dating Lily, he never flirted around or got involved in scandals.Liam continued, "At the time, I though
The office grew quiet after Liam finished explaining the situation around Lily.He gently caressed Amelia's hair. "I'll tell you everything you want to know as long as you ask me, wifey. But I do need to make this clear—the past is in the past. You can't get upset at me for that."Liam had an aggrieved look on his face as he said this, as if Amelia had actually blamed him.Amelia stayed silent and shot him a look, pouting. After some time, she raised her gaze up to him. "Don't think you can bamboozle me. Did you come here today just to tell me old stories?"Liam smiled in exasperation. "I just wanted to explain myself in case you started overthinking!""Your explanation went on for so long that one would think you were acting out of guilt!" Amelia scowled.She actually felt much better after hearing Liam's explanation. That was why she began putting up an unbothered attitude."I'm not feeling guilty. All I said was the truth. I genuinely love you to the moon and back," Liam sa
Liam hadn't come back to Luxury Gardens when Amelia returned. After thinking further about everything, she realized she knew too little.Amelia had no idea what was going on outside if Liam didn't tell her about it. Especially about Leona.After some thinking, Amelia decided to call Oscar."Looks like our minds are connected, Silly Billy. I was just about to give you a call when you called first." Oscar sounded like he was in a good mood."What did you want to tell me, Oscar?" Amelia asked with a chuckle. It had been some time since she'd met up with Oscar."I'll be back in Sableton after I'm done with this shooting. Let's meet up. It's been so long since we've seen each other. Have Karl come along too. There's something I need to ask for your help with!" Oscar said."Oh, what could I possibly be able to help you with?" Amelia asked."You have no idea. You're high in demand right now." Oscar chuckled, recalling his surprise when he saw the news earlier.But it made sense. Ame
