last update Last Updated: 2023-12-25 15:55:39
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

    "Looks like your movie's going to be popular, Oscar," Amelia said sincerely.After Oscar's initial movie, he partnered up with Amelia to shoot their first TV series. It was Amelia's second official TV series gig.Supposedly, Oscar didn't need to act in TV series anymore since he'd decided to switch things up. But he still ended up accepting the role.Amelia hadn't understood the details at first, but when she did, they had already started filming. Only then did Amelia realize Oscar accepted the role in order to boost her reputation.Though Oscar's first movie wasn't a huge success, it still garnered a lot of support. It even helped him gain credibility in the film acting scene, though the effect wasn't as big as when he starred in the TV series."Popularity doesn't matter to me. I was never in it for the box office records," Oscar said nonchalantly.Amelia was puzzled about this for a moment before realizing. She said, "If you weren't in it for the sales, that means your goal is

    "No, we just want your help to write a script for Oscar. A movie script."Karl's words made Amelia's eyes widen.She turned to Oscar only to find him smiling at her. He didn't seem to be bluffing. Only then did Amelia realize they were being serious."But I'm just a novice," she said."We believe in you, Silly Billy."More accurately, they believed in Amelia, not merely her talent!Amelia was touched by this. Her first script was yet to be adapted and Oscar was already seeking her help to write another. Oscar could call it whatever he wanted, but it was clear his aim was to help her!  Amelia guessed that Oscar would be winning an award based on his and Karl's attitude. If it was an important award, then Amelia's movie would already be able to get half the hype it needed based on Oscar's feature alone.Plus, with Prime Studio's post-production and advertising, there was no reason to worry about it being a bust."Oscar, you … " Amelia started."Don't feel pressured.

    "Pfft!" Leona suddenly burst into laughter. It was so melodious and pleasant that even Amelia couldn't help but find it delightful."Ms. Jenson, there's no need to be so guarded against me. Liamo and I are good friends. If it weren't for the accident four years ago, we could have been sisters-in-law."Amelia lowered her eyes, smiling faintly. "Ms. Leona, you're neither a fierce beast, nor a villainous person. Why should I be guarded against you? I'm just a bit curious about you, since you're the only friend of Liam's that I haven't heard of before."Amelia didn't know the details of the accident four years ago, but everyone believed Leona and Luke had died together.However, Leona had suddenly reappeared after four years. Only then did everyone realize that she was alive and well. Meanwhile, Luke still hadn't returned.The reasons behind this were known only to Leona.It was clear that Leona was a capable person. If she harbored ill intentions, her ability to come back from t

    After returning home, Liam noticed that Amelia seemed preoccupied with something.He walked over and embraced her from behind. Then, he rested his head on her shoulder. "Wifey, what's on your mind?"Amelia shook her head. "Nothing."Liam's expression flickered, but he didn't press further. Instead, he shifted to another topic. "I heard Prime Studios is currently preparing to develop your script. Have you been busy lately?"  Talking about the script piqued Amelia's interest.She said, "A bit busy, but with so many people in the company, I'm not the busiest. I just need to check in and have some discussions with them. The script modifications are almost done. We're currently preparing for casting.""Is there anything I can help with?" Liam asked.Amelia shook her head. "No. The company will take care of it. You don't have to help me. It's not like I'm short of resources for my own filming."With just one casual remark, Liam was reminded of how wholeheartedly Eric had promoted Am

    Liam's face darkened at Amelia's words. However, he didn't get angry. Instead, he simply stared at her.It seemed as if he wanted to see what else she would say.Did she ever consider that thinking of him and speaking about him in this way might also hurt and sadden him?With no response from Liam, Amelia realized she had gone too far. She decided not to continue. However, she didn't look at him either.Amelia knew she might have exaggerated a bit and made it sound worse than it actually was, but she couldn't help but feel wronged.She felt embarrassed when Leona, under the identity as Liam's friend, had accused her of not understanding Liam and causing him to lose focus on his work.In the end, it was Liam who broke the silence.He sighed. "Lia, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have assumed you misunderstood her without knowing the whole story. But Lia, I never intended to back her up. If I were to back up anyone, it would only be you."It's also my fault for not explaining things cle

    Liam didn't respond immediately. After contemplating for a moment, he earnestly said, "Tell me exactly what Leo said."Amelia glanced at him and didn't object. She proceeded to recount Leona's words.Liam frowned deeply and said, "Perhaps she misunderstood my intentions. I'll talk to her to clarify."Amelia looked at him skeptically and wondered what was going on. She felt increasingly confused.Liam continued, "When Leo and Luke got engaged, there were some issues with the Lancaster family's business. My family helped them through it. Before Leo … left, she entrusted me with overseeing the Lancaster Group, to make sure it didn't accumulate debt."Indeed, Charles is not cut out for business. He lacks the courage for innovation and reform. But as long as he doesn't have malicious intentions, he can still manage the Lancaster family's business."Leo, despite being a woman, understands the company quite well. She had previously helped Charles with the company's affairs. This time,

    Through Liam's narration, Amelia learned about what happened that night.Leona's true intentions for meeting Liam remained unknown to Amelia, but she instinctively believed it wasn't for the reasons Liam mentioned—to catch up with her only friend because she felt uneasy.Regardless of her reasons, Leona had called Liam in the middle of the night to meet up. Even though Liam didn't answer the call, Leona still went out. Or perhaps she went out first before calling Liam.Based on this, Amelia thought Leona's incident that night had nothing to do with Liam. She didn't agree that if she called someone and they didn't answer, and then something happened to her, it was the other person's fault.However, Liam regretted not answering the call promptly. He felt guilty for not giving it much thought when he had called back and received no response.Despite Amelia's attempts to console him, Liam couldn't shake off the regret.Amelia sighed. The ordeal Leona had experienced was undeniably

    "You didn't come back for the past few days just to settle this?" Amelia asked. She had mixed feelings about this. Now, she was no longer jealous or offended by it, rather, she empathized with the woman instead. Liam glanced at Amelia and felt guilt rise in his heart. He told her that he'd return very soon that day, yet he made her wait for an entire day. He couldn't blame her for giving him the silent treatment the next day. "Yeah. Leo's upset, although she appeared fine and could analyze the situation rationally." Liam explained. "Mrs. Lancaster humbly asked me to accompany Leo. I couldn't refuse." What about that night then? Why did he stay with her for another night? Was Leona truly that fragile? Leona was sensible enough to analyze the situation even after going through all that she did. Was she really the kind of person to do something foolish like Hannah? Amelia kept all these thoughts to herself. But although she didn't say them aloud, Liam didn't want her to mi

She always hid her emotions well. She was always elegant and noble in front of everyone and never did anything inappropriate. She was a true heiress of a wealthy family."After finding out your background, I wanted my son to fulfill this regret for me since I couldn't be with the woman I loved. I hoped my son could be with her daughter."I wanted Luke and Leona to marry for this purpose as well. Family interests were not my priority. Unfortunately, they had an accident, and my wish wasn't fulfilled. Then, I found out that Leona had been to Bryxton and suspected the identity of Hannah and you.

    After returning home, Eric's mood remained gloomy.Hannah opened a bottle of wine and poured a glass for him. "Want some?"Eric glanced at her, took the glass, and gulped it down in one go.Hannah then quickly refilled his glass, and Eric drank everything again.Hannah chuckled lightly as she poured the wine for him. "Although drinking is bad for you, sometimes, it can be a way to drown your sorrows. But don't overdo it.""Why should I be sorrowful? What do I have to be sorrowful for?" Eric mocked himself and finished the wine in his glass. He then grabbed the bottle and poured himself another glass.As Hannah watched him, she couldn't help but say, "You indeed have nothing to be sorrowful about. You're quite fortunate compared to many ordinary people. "Take me, for example. I had to marry someone who doesn't love me just to survive. Even the parents I'd known for over 20 years were not really my parents."Eric smirked. "That was of your own doing. You insisted on marrying me

    Alex was resting on the bed when her phone rang.Seeing the name on the screen, she hesitated for a moment before answering."Have you made up your mind? When are you going to the hospital?"Hearing this, Alex chuckled. "I thought you called to say that you regretted your words. So, you just want to remind me to go to the hospital."Eric's voice was calm and distant as he said, "Delaying it will only harm you.""Yeah, that's why I've already gone to the hospital," Alex replied.Eric paused, seemingly surprised by her swift action. "Why didn't you call me? I could've accompanied you."Alex scoffed. "Since you don't care about me or the baby in my belly, why bother going to the hospital with me? Don't worry, even if I die on the operating table during the abortion, it's my own fault."Eric frowned. "You know I didn't mean that.""Yes, I know. You just said it out of guilt. So what if I purposely said that? Why should I feel sad alone? I want to provoke you, to make you feel trou

    After the banquet, Liam drove Amelia home."Thanks for helping me today," Amelia said.This was the first time they were together alone since they'd met the shy man.Liam smirked. "You don't have to thank me. I just spoke the truth and defended my own marriage."Amelia frowned. "What do you mean?""I meant exactly that!""Stop the car and explain yourself!"Liam then parked the car as instructed. Then, Amelia spoke seriously, "We've already divorced, but now you're saying that we're still married. What do you mean exactly?"Liam smiled. "Of course, it means that we're still husband and wife. What else could it be?""You!" Amelia was frustrated. "Can you speak plainly?"What exactly did Liam mean? Amelia was confused.Other people might not know, but Amelia was aware that they were divorced. Plus, Oscar knew that she was just using Liam to reject him.Liam observed Amelia getting angry and toned down, saying, "Three years ago, we did sign a divorce agreement, but it didn't

    Amelia didn't think Karen would act so quickly, and she found it difficult to refuse her after looking at her warm gaze."Mr. Prescott, the Lancasters have prepared a banquet to welcome Madam into the family. And they've invited many people, including some previous partners of the Lancaster Group and some members of the Prescotts. "However, we still haven't received an invitation. Do you think…" Gio was reporting to Liam about Amelia in the office.Liam snorted. "The Lancasters must have other intentions to organize the banquet. If they still want me to spare them and Leona, they shouldn't use this method to corner me. They're being so public about things and are putting so much effort into this banquet to force me to attend it."Gio looked puzzled.Liam continued, "Charles is a cunning old man. He begged me to let go of the Lancasters. But when I disagreed, he tried to approach Lia. He never thought she would refuse too. So, he's still furious about this. He's reluctant to give

    The Lancasters' businesses had been continuously taken away, and Leona was nowhere to be found. This frustrated Charles."As expected, people who didn't grow up in this family are so unreliable. It's such a simple matter that could've been solved had she said anything about it, but she just won't help!" Charles paced around the living room while complaining about his daughter.Meanwhile, Karen looked a little worn out as she sat on the couch. She frowned and said, "Stop pacing around. You're making me dizzy!"Charles glanced at her. "I'm just too worried. If the company doesn't get new orders, we won't be able to pay salaries, and we'll lose our employees. If that really happens, the company will go bankrupt!"Despite the urgency of the situation, he still listened to Karen and sat across from her.Hannah looked at the anxious Charles and sneered, saying, "Dad, don't you understand?
