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
Oscar glanced at Monica without saying anything more. He was amazed that she could come up with such a story. She and Amelia had already known each other's identities, but for some reason, they refused to acknowledge each other.…The filming for "Walking into Love" happened to take place in Sableton, so Amelia went over to the filming site to have a look.Coincidentally, another crew was filming nearby too. When the people from both crews had time, they would visit the other crew. When Amelia came over, she saw Ava at the filming site as well. She instantly frowned as she asked a staff member near her, "Why is Ava here?"Lucas had given specific orders for a celebrity under the Prescott Group to play the role of the female lead. As for Ava, she wasn't selected, and she wasn't even given the role of a side character. So it was no wonder that Amelia would be surprised when she saw Ava at the filming site."Oh, her? She's from the other crew. She came over to visit with the othe
"What did you say? You're marrying Hannah?"Ember wasn't the only one who was stunned when they heard the news. Even James could barely register what was happening.Even though Eric never stated it explicitly, everyone knew who he had feelings for. So now that he had suddenly announced that he would be marrying Hannah, it came as a huge surprise.Amelia and Liam didn't expect it either. They didn't think that Eric had told James to call them over so that he could announce this shocking news."Eric, were you … Did the Lancasters threaten you or something—"Before Amelia could finish speaking, Liam pinched her finger and gave her a dissatisfied look."Wifey, he's already grown up, and he's even older than us. Why would you worry that it was a decision he made on impulse?"Amelia glanced at Liam, feeling a little exasperated. Age had nothing to do with being impulsive sometimes, right?"Moreover, it's about time he gets married. It's a good thing that he's thought it through. We s
Liam felt his heart turning bitter when he saw Amelia's upset expression.He had always known that he'd done many wrong things to Amelia, so he had always carefully tried to please her. But now, he realized that his love was too humble. That was why Amelia couldn't see his feelings for her, and she didn't recognize how nice he was to her."Liam, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush like that, I don't like it!" Amelia felt a little annoyed as well. What was it that she said, anyway? She was simply telling the truth. Wasn't the incident Hannah's fault? Wasn't Eric a victim too?Or did she have to hate Eric and blame him like Liam did?"Me? Beating around the bush? Hah, fine, if you think that I'm being petty and selfish, so be it. But Amelia, think about it. If I didn't love you, would I be so petty? Would I care about the details? Would I talk like this?"If I didn't love you, would I be so shameless that I would say so many sweet words to you?
