"Mr. Prescott!"When Amelia saw a woman walking toward them, she finally realized that Liam had indeed made arrangements beforehand.But judging by the woman's behavior, she seemed to be coming with them."Here's your visa, Mrs. Prescott.""Thanks!" Amelia took her passport from the woman and glanced at it. She was surprised to find that they were going to Gallica.But Amelia was a little curious. That woman seemed to have an odd smile on her face when she looked at Amelia.Amelia looked at Liam. "But I didn't bring anything!""It's okay. If you need anything, we can buy it when we arrive."Just like that, Amelia boarded the plane with Liam. Liam's female assistant, Nina, followed them.Liam and Amelia were in first class. Nina was accompanying Liam, so of course, she got to enjoy the first class treatment as well.Amelia was a little puzzled as to why Liam would bring Nina along. She remembered that when she'd gone to the company these days, she rarely bumped into Nina.
"How is she going to secure the order?" Amelia asked. She was a little curious.Judging by Liam's tone, he seemed quite sure of it. It felt as if he was confident that Nina was capable of doing it. "Do you want to know?" Liam replied.Amelia nodded.She was still a little puzzled. When Liam made that promise, Nina had a foul look on her face. She even looked at Liam with a woeful expression, as if he had let her down.Ever since Amelia first met Nina, she knew that this female assistant had her eyes on Liam too. But she simply didn't expose Nina."We'll get breakfast first. Then, we'll take a look together." Liam stated.He said that they would take a look together, so Amelia thought that he would bring her somewhere else. But unexpectedly, after breakfast, he brought her back to the hotel room."Didn't you say that we're going to see how Nina secures the order?" Amelia asked. She saw how confident Liam was, so she was wondering if she could learn a thing or two from Nina.
After that, the screen was turned off.Amelia glared at Liam. "What are you doing? It's not the end yet!"Liam didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "My dear wife, are you sure you want to see what happens after that?"His expression and smile caused Amelia to instantly feel a little embarrassed. Of course she could guess what happened next. So this was how Nina secured the order!Amelia couldn't help but be surprised. Was it worth it to pay a price like that for this order?And would Liam do anything just to secure an order? Didn't he care about the methods used or the price to pay to obtain it?"Lia, this is the business field, and it's also how the human heart works." Liam saw through her thoughts. He felt a little bad for her, but he continued, "This is a new client from Gallica that the company has been in contact with from some time ago. If we can win over this client, our company will be more competitive in the Gallican market."Nina's my assistant, but with Gio around
When Amelia woke up from her nap in the afternoon, Nina had come over again."Mr. Prescott, the contract has been signed." Nina handed the document to Liam. Amelia noticed that Nina had quite an awkward gait when she walked. There were also some marks on her neck.Amelia frowned slightly. By the looks of it, Nina had gone through quite a lot as well.Liam took the documents and flipped through them for a moment. Then, he signed his name before handing a document to her. "Pass this to him."Nina's hand trembled a little as she took the document. Then, she dropped to the floor on her knees. She said, "Mr. Prescott, please get someone else to deliver it. I don't want to see him again. He's a devil. He …"Liam's expression remained unchanged. He said calmly, "Are you sure you want to give up?""I …" Nina widened her eyes. She looked like she hadn't expected Liam to say that."All contracts have two copies, and both sides should have one copy each. Now that both sides have sign
Amelia stayed silent for a moment. Then, she said, "She could choose to give up.""Indeed." Liam curved his lips. "I gave her a chance to give up just now, right? But she chose to persist."Yes, Amelia had seen that with her own eyes as well. But she wasn't sure if Nina knew what she would be facing in the future when she made that choice."Lia, the human heart is more complicated than you imagine. People who have tried the sweet taste of benefit won't let go of it so easily."Nina's been struggling for so many years in the business field, she knows better than you what it's like here. She's also aware of the price she has to pay to get what she wants," Liam said.He continued, "This is a choice she made herself, so you don't have to pity her. After all, if she never had such horrible intentions in the beginning, I wouldn't have allowed her to take this path."The Prescott Group had always been generous to its employees. The basic salary it offered was much higher than other comp
"What are you doing?" Amelia glared at Liam in embarrassment.However, Liam was in a much better mood now. He said, "I was upset when I saw you chatting so happily with him. So of course I'd have to get something nice out of you too. If my heart keeps feeling bitter, the food I make won't taste good.""What sort of logic is that?" Amelia spat, but her face was still red.Did Liam mean that he was jealous?"Lia, I seriously want to keep you chained to me. Then, you can only look at me alone, and I'm the only person you can smile at." Liam hugged her as he muttered in a low voice.He truly had the urge to do that, especially when he saw Amelia smiling at another man. But he knew very well that he couldn't do that.Amelia stopped smiling. "What's up with you today?"Liam replied, "You got sick but you never told me about it. I know that I was at fault for not answering your calls, but I was busy with something very important back then. Also, my phone was running out of battery."I
"Dad, if you still can't forget about Mom, why would you bring that woman home?"Oscar was aware that Benjamin never forgot about his mother. That was the only reason Oscar didn't go completely against Benjamin when he heard that Benjamin had brought that woman home.Benjamin put down the photo. Then, he sighed and looked up at Oscar. "I was the one who wronged your mother back then. I made a mistake that many men would make too. I shouldn't have given in to temptation when your mother was pregnant with you. I should've withstood the loneliness."But Oscar, the mistake was already made. Your mom wasn't the only person I wronged. She gave birth to the child all alone, and she even raised the child. Things were tough for her too."Now that your mom is gone, and you have your career too, it's quite lonely for me to be alone at home.""Are you blaming me for not coming back often to keep you company?" Oscar chuckled in a mocking tone.Benjamin had an awkward look on his face. "Osca
"What a coincidence! Since you know her already, why don't you invite her over sometime? You can get to know each other." Benjamin smiled and looked at Oscar."Look how considerate Monica is toward you! She's paid attention to you even before I brought her home. Now, she heard that you still haven't gotten a girlfriend after so many years, so she even made plans for you. You should be grateful to her!"Oscar curved his lips, looking at Monica with a half smile. "Since you know about Amelia, why wouldn't you know that she's already married? Do you want me to be a homewrecker?"Benjamin looked at Monica with a puzzled expression. "Did you remember wrongly, Monica? Oscar's a star, he can't possibly be a homewrecker. Moreover, he's never been married, so he can't marry someone who was already married once."Monica panicked a little. She didn't expect Oscar to be this ruthless.She was thinking that since Oscar liked Amelia, if she made the suggestion, Benjamin would listen to her and
