In the prison, the tattooed man breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Liam and Gio leave.He hadn't expected Liam to be so bold and even daring to physically confront him in front of the prison guard. The guard had just watched without saying a word.To his surprise, when the guard returned after seeing Liam and Gio off, his treatment became even less accommodating. When he spoke to them, his tone was disrespectful. It sounded as if they were already convicted criminals."If you're hiding something, you'd better confess soon. Shortly, someone will come to interrogate you. Don't blame me for not warning you. If that person doesn't get the answers he wants, you won't have a peaceful time ahead of you."The tattooed man felt a chill run down his spine. "This is a prison. Don't tell me you're afraid of him too?"The prison guard snorted. "Whether or not we're afraid doesn't matter. We just do our job according to the law. What you guys did was not a simple kidnapping. It's time to
The next day, Gio was waiting in the living room. Amelia had breakfast and then went to the police station with him. The four men were brought out from prison for further investigation. Inside the interrogation room, panic and anger flowed through Amelia's heart as she looked at the four people inside through the glass. She thought about her lost child as she stared at the four men. Noticing her emotions fluctuating, Gio whispered, "They'll be punished appropriately, Madam." Amelia continued to stare through the glass. "I know. But my child won't be coming back no matter how much punishment they receive." What Amelia said was right, and it left Gio at a loss for words for a moment. Then, he said, "But then again, you shouldn't stay angry at them, Madam. It's not worth your time." Amelia smiled. "You're right. They're not worth my time being angry with. It's truly a waste of time to be angry with total strangers that never cared about me." Gio couldn't help b
Amelia was dead silent after coming out of the room, and Gio was worried about her. "Madam, did the man say something that offended you? Or …" he asked. Amelia shook her head. She had no intentions of telling Gio what the shy man had told her, as telling him would be akin to telling Liam. "He just kept apologizing. I'm just in a bad mood because I thought about the child that I'd lost." She then quickly came up with an excuse and said, "I want to make a trip to the company office. You don't need to send me back home." Amelia never mentioned which company, but Gio assumed that it was the Prescott Group. Meanwhile, Amelia was deep in her own thoughts and never paid attention to where the car was heading to. It was only when Gio alerted her that she realized that she had already reached Prescott Tower. She had actually wanted to go to Prime Studios. Lucas had already known that she was recuperating. He'd told her that she didn't need to come to the office anytime
Regardless of how much Amelia detested Liam, she was still enticed by the shopping mall before her. Hence, she temporarily put aside the animosity she held against him and proceeded to pick out the clothes and bags she liked.As they passed by a jewelry shop, Liam stole a glance at Amelia's hands. Amelia's left ring finger, which used to bear a beautiful ring, had nothing on it. Similarly, her right hand, her neck, and her wrist bore no accessories.A mix of emotions appeared in Liam's eyes. Then, he looked at Amelia's smile and grabbed her hands. Amelia was confused and shot him a look that asked, "What are you doing?""The accessories from before aren't trendy anymore, and you don't like them anyway. Let's get you new ones," Liam replied.Amelia didn't know what to make of Liam's statement as she browsed through the radiant jewelry in the shop. The accessories Liam gave her were either exclusive or timeless classics. They would never not be trendy.But it was also true
"Are you coming back for dinner tonight?" Amelia called Liam to ensure that she could smoothly go out later.Liam was enticed by Amelia's invitation. If he didn't have the meeting with One-Eye later, he would've loved to eat with Amelia, even if she had an ulterior motive.That said, Amelia's ulterior motive also made Liam feel glad that he had to meet One-Eye. Otherwise, he didn't know what would await him if he agreed to have dinner with her."I have a business dinner tonight, so I won't be back. If you think eating alone is boring, ask May to accompany you. Or I can call Lily to keep you company," Liam spoke tenderly, as if he was addressing a wayward child.Amelia replied, "It's okay. It's just dinner. I don't want to bother them. It's getting cold now. Keep yourself warm. You'll get a headache if you walk in the cold after drinking."Amelia's concern reminded Liam of her attentiveness when they were still on good terms. It also reminded him of when they had just gotten ma
Leona's expression shifted. She was surprised by Amelia's words. She toyed with the recording pen she was holding and suppressed her anger. "So you're delaying the divorce with Liam in a bid to get more money from him?"Amelia glanced at Leona and scoffed at how she implied it was her who refused to let Liam go. "Why don't you call Liam and ask him why won't he divorce me yet?" Amelia retorted.Amelia's confidence told Leona that it was Liam who didn't want to finalize the divorce. This realization was extra grating to Leona's ears. And while she wasn't sure if Amelia truly wanted to divorce Liam, she couldn't deny the fact that Liam didn't want to let Amelia go.Before, Liam had told her that the whole arrangement was unfair to Amelia. So to make it up to her, he said he would wait until Amelia delivered the child before they got a divorce. But now, Amelia had lost her child.And what Leona really couldn't stand was the fact Liam had hurt himself while saving Amelia. "
When Amelia returned to Riverbay Residence, Liam still hadn't come back yet. However, it didn't bother Amelia in the least. After thinking for a bit, she called Eric up and exchanged a few pleasantries. Then, she relayed her decision to him."I told Alex to halt her plan when she came to see me last time. You don't have to do anything for me either.""So you're not divorcing him now?" Eric asked, concerned.Amelia shook her head. "No, it's just that I don't have a say in this divorce at all. I can't do what I want."Eric fell silent. A moment later, he apologized, "Sorry, I wish I could help you more. I thought I was strong enough to lend you a hand. But when he targeted me, I was powerless."Amelia consoled Eric, "No need to apologize. You're not weak. Liam's made sure that I don't get to ever divorce him. That's why you couldn't help me."There were only two ways to get a divorce—file for a divorce or sue for a divorce. There was no way Liam would agree to file for a divorc
Although Ava had been punished for what she did, Liam still had many questions regarding the whole affair. Liam knew Ava quite well. Even if Ava was very desperate, she didn't have the guts or the intelligence to plot something nefarious.The second time Amelia was abducted, they were forced to sign the divorce agreement, and he was injured while he attempted to save her. Coincidentally, One-Eye was there. All these coincidences felt uncanny to Liam.…The chicken soup was done. When Amelia brought out the bowl of hot soup, she saw Liam mulling over something on the couch."Thank you so much, Wifey." Liam only turned to look at Amelia when he heard her approaching footsteps.Amelia pursed her lips and decided to stop fussing over the term. She said, "The pasta's cooking, so I need to check on it. Drink the soup once it's cooled for a bit.""Okay." Liam nodded like an obedient schoolboy. Amelia could never get used to that sight.Before long, the pasta was ready. As s
