After Lily arrived, Lucas went to the ward next door to tell Liam that Lily was there.Liam nodded. "It's not a bad thing. Lily may be able to comfort her. But …"Lucas knew what Liam was worried about, so he hastily reassured, "Don't worry, Liam. Lily has a sharp tongue, and she can say harsh words, but she always knows where to draw the line."Brandon was disdainful. He didn't believe that Lily would know where to draw the line.But even if that was what he thought, he didn't voice it out. He played along and told Liam to relax and focus on recuperating.Then, Brandon said, "By the way, Liam, after I captured that man, I wanted to go after another man. But before I could catch up to him, that man was captured as well.""Oh? Whose men were they?" Liam was a little puzzled.Brandon shook his head. "I don't know him, but he said that he knows you. Moreover, it was an urgent situation back then, so I didn't ask too much about it."When I chased the two men back with them, I saw y
Oscar and Amelia were really close friends. That was why Amelia wrote the script for Oscar. Oscar was the main actor, but he didn't have to be on set every day, since there were other supporting roles in the movie. However, because Amelia was the scriptwriter, Oscar not only appeared on set daily, but he also guided other actors in their performances. The director even praised the exceptional acting of the entire cast.This was a good thing. But Liam didn't see it that way. Amelia was his wife, after all. It was hard for him to see other men helping her achieve her dreams."Liam, when Amelia writes another script, we can—" "Not anymore," Liam said softly. "What do you mean?" Lucas didn't understand what he meant. Liam suddenly chuckled with a hint of self-mockery.Although he didn't explain anything, Lucas felt a strange sadness within Liam.…In the afternoon, One-Eye's subordinate came to visit Liam, which didn't surprise him."Thank your boss for me," Lia
Liam pursed his lips, and the smile disappeared from his face. He knew the loss of the child had a significant impact on Amelia. But it was his child too!The loss also affected him deeply, perhaps even more than Amelia. For him, it wasn't just about losing a child."Lia, if you're willing, we can still have children in the future. Just one child would be too lonely. We can have more together—" Amelia chuckled lightly. "Are you joking with me?" Her laughter carried a hint of mockery. Liam could sense it, but he wasn't surprised by Amelia's reaction. "Lia, the words I said in front of the kidnappers back then weren't real. I said those things just to ensure your safety. You and the child are equally important to me." He sighed and continued, "The child is gone, and I'm saddened too. But I don't want you to be sad about this forever. We should look forward, and let the past be in the past." His words were laden with profound emotion, and it came out with a heav
Amelia chuckled softly as she watched Liam hurry away. Her emotions were a mystery.When Liam came to visit the next day, he avoided bringing up anything that might upset Amelia. He only focused on updates about Kenneth and Christopher. "Christopher's supervisor said he's doing great in the company." Liam shared. "He's enthusiastic, friendly with colleagues, and eager to learn. If he continues like this, he might be able to shift to the Business Department next year."Amelia listened attentively, but she remained silent. Liam had introduced Christopher to a job. However, he didn't use his connections to secure a better position for Christopher.Amelia agreed with this decision. Although she wanted to help Christopher, her main goal was to help him grow and take responsibility for himself. According to Liam, Christopher had genuinely improved. Despite being an ordinary employee at the moment, Christopher's prospects appeared promising. If he moved to the Business Depart
"Is that so? But what does that have to do with me? If your husband truly owns a big company and needs money, he can get a loan from the bank or directly approach Liam. After all, my money comes from Liam, and I don't understand business matters. There's no use in coming to me." As Sarah realized that she wouldn't be getting money from Amelia that day, she felt a surge of resentment. "Amelia, it's your fault that your uncle and cousins abandoned me. My life is a mess because of you. You need to take responsibility!" she howled. Amelia ignored Sarah's unreasonable accusations. "If you think it's my responsibility, then go ahead and sue me. As long as the court accepts it, and you can provide evidence against me, I'll give you the money." "You!" Sarah wouldn't actually take legal action. "Don't you want to know about Monica? I saw her a few days ago." Amelia fell silent for a moment when Sarah mentioned that name. Thinking she had touched a nerve, Sarah gloated, "
Alex fell silent as she listened to Amelia's words. Then, she said, "If he really thinks that way, he's just shameless. What's the difference between this and manipulating emotions!""Perhaps he doesn't see it as manipulating emotions, but rather as the best way to have the best of both worlds," Amelia replied.Saying this, Amelia felt a sense of sadness. They remained silent for a while. Then, Alex asked, "If that's the case, he'll still divorce you, but it might take some time, right?" "But I don't want to wait. Alex, can you tell me about the plan you mentioned last time?" Amelia urged. After hesitating for a while, Alex decided to share the plan with her. "With Liam's influence and resources, forcing him to divorce you is nearly impossible. The only viable option is through legal means. But you couldn't do it when you were pregnant. During a woman's pregnancy, divorce can't happen without both parties agreeing.""Now that the child is gone, can we proceed?" Am
Liam left the hospital the same day Amelia was discharged.Back at Riverbay Residence, May helped Amelia up the stairs with teary eyes. She couldn't help but worry despite Amelia's assurances that she was fine."Having a miscarriage is like going through postpartum recovery. You have to be careful. Did you catch a cold on the way back?" May asked."No, don't worry. I took good care of myself. No lingering health problems at all," Amelia replied.On the way back, Gio had driven the car while Liam sat in the back with Amelia.The scent of Liam's cologne wafted into Amelia's nose, and she considered opening the window for some fresh air. But Gio had the windows firmly closed."It's late fall already, so it's chilly outside. With how fast the car is going, there'll be strong winds. You might catch a cold. Besides, you shouldn't expose yourself to the cool air right now. Bear with it for a while."When she asked Gio to open the window, he hesitated. "Madam, Mr. Prescott instructed me
Liam had prepared himself for her refusal, but he wasn't one to be easily swayed. He looked at Amelia and said, "If it's personal, we should let Gio go. If it's not personal, why don't you sit down and talk? I'm not used to talking to people while looking up."Amelia was annoyed at Liam's words.What did he mean by not being used to looking up? Every time he talked to his subordinates, including Gio earlier, they would stand. Why didn't he say anything to them?"Well, in that case, I have nothing else to say!"Amelia had a temper of her own as well. She couldn't agree with everything Liam said."Madam ..." Gio got worried when Liam didn't try to stop Amelia from leaving. "Mr. Prescott is just concerned about your health, that's why he wanted you to sit while we talk."Amelia paused.She had considered that that was the case when Liam told her to sit down. But he had spoken with a distant tone and a commanding manner. It made her uncomfortable, so she decided to overlook it
