Leona's birthday was two weeks before New Year's Eve.Leona personally delivered the invitation. However, on the day she delivered the invitation, Amelia didn't go to the Prescott Group. Instead, she went to Prime Studios to submit her script."Ms. Jenson, my birthday is in two days. I hope you can come and attend my birthday banquet." Leona smiled and handed Amelia an invitation. "If you have friends, you can invite them along as well. You can bring an extra friend with you."Amelia glanced at Leona as she took the invitation. "I'll be sure to attend it.""Liamo is quite nice to you. Even though Lucas is in charge of this company, Liamo's the biggest shareholder. He'd put in quite a lot of effort when he arranged for you to leave the entertainment field and placed you here to write scripts," Leona said.Amelia curved her lips. "You must have gotten the wrong idea. Even though Liam was the one who announced that I was leaving the entertainment industry in my stead, I had the int
Amelia was surprised to receive a call from Alex."You want to go to Leona's birthday banquet?""Yeah, I thought I'd join in. Can you get me in? You're the Prescott family's daughter-in-law, you must have an invitation!" Alex said with a smile. She seemed genuinely interested in the banquet.The Lancaster family were the ones who held the banquet, so Amelia was worried since Hannah and Eric would be there."But Alex, Eric … he'll be there with Hannah.""I know. I'm just going for the atmosphere. I won't meet them."But Amelia couldn't agree to her request immediately. Alex sounded slightly annoyed on the other end of the line. She said, "Amelia, when you and Liam were having problems, I took you to events with me. It's just a birthday banquet this time, yet you're unwilling to help me out?""It's not that. I'm just worried that you might feel uncomfortable seeing them." Amelia felt bitter. Although the two had made up, she still felt some distance between them."If I end up
As the car pulled up to the Lancaster residence, Liam turned to Amelia. He said, "Are you going in now, or should we go in together?""I'll head in now," Amelia replied without hesitation.Liam was Leona's date for the evening so it was a given that he couldn't go in with her. Maybe Leona might even be waiting for her.Amelia had been worried that something might happen to Alex, but once she was inside, Alex stayed close to her and occasionally scanned the hall. When she saw Hannah holding Eric's hand, she gave them a few glances but didn't react further. This reassured Amelia.After a while, Amelia noticed that Hannah's eyes were fixed in one direction. She followed Hannah's gaze."Amelia, I thought you weren't coming today!" Hannah, with Eric by her side, greeted with a meaningful smile.Amelia glanced at Hannah, but she remained silent. Instead, her eyes were fixed on Eric.Hannah and Eric stood together. They were an attractive couple. But of course, one would have t
As Leona and Liam descended the stairs hand in hand, Amelia overheard people in the crowd discussing the pair."They look so compatible, a perfect match of talent and beauty. Too bad Mr. Prescott is already married.""So what if he's married? A man of his level must have an interesting past.""Exactly. The Lancaster family isn't what it used to be. If they don't get their act together, they might collapse.""I heard that the Lancaster family has tried to trap him, but he refused. Looks like she has her eye on Mr. Prescott!"Amelia felt her heart ache as she listened to their comments and watched the two together.She realized that she wasn't as big-hearted as she had imagined."Feeling sad?"Amelia turned her head to find Eric standing next to her.She looked around and noticed that Alex was nowhere to be seen. Hannah wasn't by his side either."Are those two together?" Amelia was worried that they might cause trouble.Eric nodded. Then, he smiled. "Don't worry about them. N
"I was afraid she might get lonely, so I'm keeping her company." Liam looked at Leona. Although he knew she was joking, he explained everything seriously to avoid misunderstandings on Amelia's part. He squeezed Amelia's hand and asked, "Did you eat earlier?"Amelia shook her head. She had some dessert when she came in, but she hadn't eaten much after meeting Eric and Hannah because she was worried about Alex."Then let me go with you to get something to eat." Liam then turned to Leona. "The opening dance is over and I'm not needed for the next part. I'll go with Lia. I left your birthday present in your room.""You're leaving already?" Leona looked surprised and disappointed. "I thought you'd stay with me until early morning like before."Liam raised Amelia's hand. "This year is different. I have to be with my wife."Seeing that he had no intention of staying, Leona looked at Amelia. Her smile was dazzling.She smiled and intercepted them. "I won't stop you if you want to l
"I ..." Charles followed Liam's gaze and looked at Amelia. He guessed that Liam's comment was because of her.He immediately put on a knowing expression. "Yeah ... The wine is stronger than usual tonight. I must have had too much!"Charles continued, "You and Leona grew up together. And now that she's back, you should visit our home more often. Don't let your relationship with Leona become distant just because of past misunderstandings."Liam glanced at him. "I have some business to attend to, so I'll be leaving with my wife. Please inform Leo for me, Mr. Lancaster."Before leaving the Lancaster Residence, Amelia called Alex. She was relieved to learn that Alex had gone home.In the car, Liam asked Amelia where she wanted to eat. Amelia smiled and said, "I want to eat whatever you cook."Liam smiled and started the car. "Then let's go home!"After Leona's birthday banquet, Amelia started packing. She planned to move back to Riverbay Residence in a few days.That night, Amelia
Both Maria and Peter shared a similar sense of uncertainty, though Peter seemed slightly more at ease than Maria."Since Amelia willingly brought them over, there shouldn't be any major issues! Don't worry too much. If something really happens, we'll let Amelia handle it!" Peter said. "If someone doesn't cherish the opportunities given to them, it's destined for them to waste their life!"Despite Peter's reassurance, Maria remained uneasy. Then, she remembered something else. "I wonder how Monica's doing." Her voice was low, but Peter heard it and instantly frowned. "Why bring her up? Amelia's doing well now, and Liam treats her well. Do you really want to disrupt her life?" Maria hesitated and said, "I gave birth to her. And now that we have a good life, I just thought that if she's not doing well on her own out there … After all, she's Amelia's mother!""Nonsense!" Peter glared at Maria. He didn't expect her to have such thoughts. "I think you've gotten too comfortable. Y
Peter wanted to say "I wish I didn't have a son like you", but Liam interrupted him. "Grandpa, did Grandma take her medicine today?" Peter paused and looked at Maria. Both of them guessed that Liam didn't want him to finish that sentence. He then turned to Maria."I'll accompany you to the room!" Maria glanced at everyone and nodded."Okay, go get some water." As Peter and Maria went to their room on the first floor, Liam looked calmly at David. David's heart trembled when Liam was about to speak. Besides Amelia, the person he feared the most was Liam. "What do you want?" David hesitated. He didn't expect Liam to start with this question. His eyes shifted, and he looked at Amelia. After some brief eye contact, Amelia diverted her gaze. She then turned to Christopher and Kenneth, saying, "Let me show you to your rooms. You've had a long drive. Get some rest in your rooms, and I'll call you for dinner later."The villa was spacious, and anticipating the Jenson
