The next day, Amelia went to the company to solve the casting issue. However, she found herself running around without being able to do anything. "Don't go to work today. Come with me to the company instead!" After breakfast, Liam wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered. Amelia hesitated. She thought she might as well solve the problem later since there was nothing she could do now. Besides, the cast was only tentatively decided, and the contract hadn't been signed. If she delayed it, maybe Ava would give up. After all, as an actress, Ava couldn't afford a hiatus for too long. "Okay." Amelia agreed.However, she didn't expect to be placed in an embarrassing situation during her visit to the Prescott Group. "Mr. Prescott, Mrs. Prescott!" Due to a certain someone's arrogant request, everyone called Amelia "Mrs. Prescott" whenever she visited the company. Even her fan at the front desk had to yield to Liam's influence, unable to address Amelia as her idol.There
Amelia knew she was feeling unsettled, so she didn't immediately return to Liam's office. But it was because of this that she missed the reminder from the front desk receptionist—the woman she was wary of had come to the Prescott Group again. After drinking a cup of bitter coffee in the pantry and calming herself down, Amelia returned to the office. The office door was open. However, Amelia wasn't paying much attention. She walked straight in and witnessed an uncomfortable scene. The man sitting at the desk was smiling. Next to him stood a slender woman in a tight red dress. She exuded a captivating feminine charm. The woman bent down slightly, and her hand was reaching above Liam's head. Seeing this intimate scene, Amelia was reminded of the hickey on Leona's neck. Her heart ached and she wanted to turn and leave.Meanwhile Liam had already seen Amelia and knew from her expression that she had misunderstood things. He quickly stood up and held her back, saying, "You'r
Leona smiled and waved her hand, looking completely unconcerned. "I'm fine on my own now. Let's not dwell on that. Let's talk about business. "Thank you for giving me this opportunity. One of the artists in my studio has been cast as the female lead in this role. I believe she can become popular again, and this can also help boost our studio's reputation." Subconsciously, Amelia thought of Ava.She looked at Liam, wondering if this matter was really related to him. Liam initially looked puzzled, but then he glanced at Amelia and said to Leona, "Are you talking about the series 'Walking into Love'?" Leona nodded. "Yes, I was a bit worried initially. After all, Ava ... Regardless, she was in a difficult spot when I met her after coming back. But I saw her determination to never give up, and her persistence moved me. So I decided to sign her." At this point, Leona looked apologetic. She continued, "Before signing her, I didn't know about the history between her and your famil
Observing the looks on Amelia's and Liam's faces, Leona's expression also shifted. She looked at Liam and said cautiously, "Liam, didn't you tell Ms. Jenson that Prime Studios is ..." Then, she looked apologetic and quickly said, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have spoken so carelessly. You two are husband and wife, and I thought Ms. Jenson knew since you two seemed close." As Leona spoke, she hesitated. She wanted to say more, but she stopped herself. Then, she turned to Amelia and added, "Ms. Jenson, what I said just now was nonsense. Please don't take it to heart. It's not what you think. "Liam must have his reasons for not telling you. You should understand his good intentions for you. He didn't tell me just because he's close to me. He's still the closest to you." Amelia didn't fully register Leona's words, but from her expressions and tone, Amelia clearly understood what she was trying to convey.Amelia wouldn't have thought negatively of the situation if she hadn't
"Stop the car!" Gio was startled and asked, "Madam, do you want to get off here? Mr. Prescott asked me to take you home." Amelia frowned. She knew that Gio would follow Liam's instructions. Liam had asked him to take her home, and he would surely do so. However, she was feeling very unsettled at the moment, and a surge of impulsivity in her mind told her that she didn't want to go back right now. Just then, Amelia's phone rang. "Mia, how's the situation with the female lead? Can you replace Ava?" It was the manager calling. Amelia pursed her lips without responding. Noticing her silence, the manager could guess the situation. He tried to console her with a forced smile. "It's okay. Maybe this time her acting will improve. After all, she's been through a lot and will surely value this opportunity more. The director's team just called. They're about to announce the lead roles ...""No! They can't do that!" Amelia suddenly interrupted him. She yelled, "No matter what,
Amelia called Lucas on the way to the hospital. Lucas was astonished to hear her decision and asked, "Amelia, are you sure about this decision?" He thought Amelia should cherish such a great opportunity and her resources. After all, she was still a novice screenwriter. He also felt that stopping the filming and adaptation because she was dissatisfied with the lead actress was a hasty decision. "Yes. I've thought it through," Amelia said firmly. Lucas fell silent for a while before responding, "Alright, I'll notify the development department and the director's team to stop the filming. We can discuss the rest later. We've come this far, stopping now would mean significant losses, especially since some actors have already signed contracts." Hearing Lucas say this, Amelia could only agree.She knew if they stopped filming now, it would mean breaching contracts, and compensations would be due. Nevertheless, she refused to let Ava play the role in the drama. "Okay, thank yo
Lily was momentarily silent. Then, she asked softly, "Did he personally tell you to cast Ava as the lead actress in the drama?" "That's not it. Liam told me that Leona recently established ..." At this point, Lucas came to a realization. "Right, Liam never specifically told me to cast Ava. He just asked me to support Leona and provide some resources and opportunities for the actors in her studio!" Lily pursed her lips and said, "Those Lancaster sisters are persistent, aren't they?" "Lily, don't say that. Leona and Hannah are different," Lucas said, having had a good impression of Leona.Lily scoffed. However, she didn't bother explaining and simply returned to the original topic. "So, assigning Ava the role was your misunderstanding of Liam's intention?" she asked. Lucas quickly shook his head. He wasn't about to take the blame. "Liam asked me to support Leona and to pick a script from the company's recent resources for her studio. Thinking it was a personal request from
Amelia didn't doubt Liam's explanation, but she felt slightly overwhelmed with emotion. So that was the case. "Lia, trust me. Let me handle this matter, okay?" Liam grasped Amelia's shoulders and looked at her earnestly. He wouldn't allow anything to happen to Amelia's first script. "I …" Amelia wanted to say something, but she hesitated. Was she just supposed to rely on Liam? Liam guessed Amelia's thoughts and took her hands. "Lia, you're my wife. Everything I have is yours. I'm using resources that belong to you. It isn't negating your efforts. It's just about making your hard work known to more people!" Amelia's heart trembled. She looked up at Liam as her heart was pounding.By the side, Lucas and Lily shivered, looking fed up. "He's so cheesy. This is the first time I've seen him like this!" "Me too!" The two murmured, not bothering to lower their voices.Amelia heard everything and felt a bit embarrassed. Liam glanced at them and said, "Take a walk outside if
