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

    When Amelia arrived at Eric's office, Eric had just returned from his morning meeting. He raised his brows, surprised to see Amelia so early. "I wasn't expecting you to be here this early," he said."You invited me here. Of course I have to be early." Amelia teased.After having a staff serve some cut fruits on the table, Eric closed the door. Amelia was surprised by the secrecy. "You're being cautious. Is this something confidential?"Eric nodded. "Last night, you told me that you didn't need my help anymore. I thought about it and figured that I should tell you something. It's up to you to decide if you want to act with this piece of information."Amelia put down her glass. "What is it?""I never told you about my time abroad. You don't know what my family is like." Recalling the past seemed to cast a gloomy mood on Eric.While Amelia was intrigued, she didn't press further and allowed Eric to continue at his pace. "You could say that my stepfather is someone like Liam, i

    Eric recomposed himself and gave Amelia an apologetic smile. "Sorry for the outburst."Amelia shook her head. "Don't be. You're a good son."Eric smiled and continued, "What I wanted to say is that Bella's here. If you've figured out a way to get a divorce, or if you simply want to get away from Liam, you can leave with Bella."Once you're abroad, with my family's power, Liam can't do anything to you. You can spend several years out there, and after a lengthy separation, applying for a divorce might become easier."Amelia was enticed. While this wasn't how she envisioned the divorce would go, she knew very well that Liam wouldn't let her go even if she managed to get a divorce."Are you … close to Bella?" Amelia didn't think that Bella was the woman who aborted Eric's child. But she wondered if Eric's relationship with his step-family was good enough for Bella to do Amelia this favor.Eric froze. Was he close to Bella? He gave a wry smile and answered, "You see. She's from

    "I know you're upset because Liamo took it upon himself to take care of me and Rory. But Amelia, we're willing to compensate you. "I have personally decided to pay you another sum in addition to the properties you will obtain from Liamo. If you have another demand, let me know. I'll try to satisfy your requests."If Amelia was here, she would notice that this was the conversation she had had with Leona the other day. In this snippet Leona showed Liam, Leona sounded like she was trying her best to accommodate Amelia.Liam stared at the phone anxiously. Soon enough, Amelia's voice sounded. "But why should I be bothered? I didn't do anything wrong or cheat on Liam. Our divorce will be a peaceful one. Liam has many assets under his name, many of which are marital properties, which means I own a part of them too."As you know, I'm from a village. If getting this divorce means I can get rich, it doesn't sound that bad of a deal anymore, does it?" Amelia's voice was nonchalant an

    "Mr. Prescott, Ms. Leona entered an SUV after she left the building. I saw the individual inside the vehicle. They were quite close." Gio reported right away after he knocked on Liam's door.Liam scoffed. "She's telling me indirectly that One-Eye is with her. And they warned me not to forget what I promised her."Gio didn't know what Leona had told Liam, but judging from his scary face, it wasn't something nice. "Mr. Prescott, do you think the kidnapping was that person's doing?" he asked."There are too many uncanny coincidences in the kidnapping. I haven't found the proof, but that doesn't mean he has no part in it. Also, Astra is very suspicious," Liam replied.Not only did Liam suspect One-Eye, he suspected Eric too. However, he didn't have any evidence at the moment. Suddenly, Gio's phone buzzed. He looked at the message as blood drained from his face.Liam glanced at Gio and asked, "What's the matter?" Gio showed Liam apprehensively what was on his phone."A crack i

    "The best way to dispel the rumors is to present the facts to the public." Ashley Trevino—the PR Department manager—carefully said, "This trending topic implies that Mia betrayed Mr. Prescott. As long as Mia and Mr. Prescott appear together and show a loving relationship, the rumors will naturally be debunked."Georgie Page—the Scriptwriting Department manager nodded in agreement. "That's right. I saw comments maliciously attacking Mia, saying the Prescott Group's land was taken because she leaked information to Astra. This big issue has to be addressed as well.""In that case, perhaps Mia could coordinate your statement with Mr. Richards. Just say you went to see him for work, especially since Oscar is associated with Astra." Ashley suggested and looked at Amelia for approval.However, Amelia became increasingly unhappy as she listened to the suggestions. Ashley should know how to handle such situations as the PR Department manager. But those words sounded strange to Amelia.Fac

    Amelia's body stiffened, but in the end, she didn't refuse.Liam's words made her nervous, and she wasn't sure if he had already sensed that her compliance these days was just to appease him. She had never abandoned the idea of divorcing him.Amelia had simply decided to continue pretending to avoid raising suspicion."No, we're still in the car!" She resisted him with a flushed face.Liam glanced at her and seemed pleased with her reaction. He whispered in her ears, "It's okay. We're in the garage. Nobody can see us."The garage?Amelia hadn't noticed that Liam had driven the car into the garage because she was preoccupied with her thoughts.She recalled that Liam had pressed her onto the car seat and kissed her forcefully in that garage once. He even demanded more from her after they went back to their room.Back then, she was still pregnant."What are you thinking? Your face is as red as a monkey's butt!" Liam exclaimed.Amelia glared at him. "What did you say?"Little di

    Looking at her reaction, Liam paused and then said, "I'll give you a day off today. You'll have to make it up to me tomorrow. After all, I did prepare dinner for you tonight!"Amelia snorted, thinking to herself that she had to stop him the next day.After taking a shower, Amelia found Liam typing something on her phone."What are you doing with my phone?" She felt a chill in her heart and walked quickly toward him.Amelia didn't have any secrets, but her text messages should be considered private. So she was unhappy that Liam looked through her phone without permission.Amelia was worried if Eric sent a message and Liam happened to see it, she would be the one to suffer the consequences.She indeed found a message from Eric when she took her phone from Liam."Have you decided? I will go see her in two days."Eric was referring to Bella, and if Amelia had made up her mind about acquiring Bella's help.Amelia didn't know how Liam interpreted it, but she saw a reply below."I'v

    After returning home, Eric's mood remained gloomy.Hannah opened a bottle of wine and poured a glass for him. "Want some?"Eric glanced at her, took the glass, and gulped it down in one go.Hannah then quickly refilled his glass, and Eric drank everything again.Hannah chuckled lightly as she poured the wine for him. "Although drinking is bad for you, sometimes, it can be a way to drown your sorrows. But don't overdo it.""Why should I be sorrowful? What do I have to be sorrowful for?" Eric mocked himself and finished the wine in his glass. He then grabbed the bottle and poured himself another glass.As Hannah watched him, she couldn't help but say, "You indeed have nothing to be sorrowful about. You're quite fortunate compared to many ordinary people. "Take me, for example. I had to marry someone who doesn't love me just to survive. Even the parents I'd known for over 20 years were not really my parents."Eric smirked. "That was of your own doing. You insisted on marrying me

    Alex was resting on the bed when her phone rang.Seeing the name on the screen, she hesitated for a moment before answering."Have you made up your mind? When are you going to the hospital?"Hearing this, Alex chuckled. "I thought you called to say that you regretted your words. So, you just want to remind me to go to the hospital."Eric's voice was calm and distant as he said, "Delaying it will only harm you.""Yeah, that's why I've already gone to the hospital," Alex replied.Eric paused, seemingly surprised by her swift action. "Why didn't you call me? I could've accompanied you."Alex scoffed. "Since you don't care about me or the baby in my belly, why bother going to the hospital with me? Don't worry, even if I die on the operating table during the abortion, it's my own fault."Eric frowned. "You know I didn't mean that.""Yes, I know. You just said it out of guilt. So what if I purposely said that? Why should I feel sad alone? I want to provoke you, to make you feel trou

    After the banquet, Liam drove Amelia home."Thanks for helping me today," Amelia said.This was the first time they were together alone since they'd met the shy man.Liam smirked. "You don't have to thank me. I just spoke the truth and defended my own marriage."Amelia frowned. "What do you mean?""I meant exactly that!""Stop the car and explain yourself!"Liam then parked the car as instructed. Then, Amelia spoke seriously, "We've already divorced, but now you're saying that we're still married. What do you mean exactly?"Liam smiled. "Of course, it means that we're still husband and wife. What else could it be?""You!" Amelia was frustrated. "Can you speak plainly?"What exactly did Liam mean? Amelia was confused.Other people might not know, but Amelia was aware that they were divorced. Plus, Oscar knew that she was just using Liam to reject him.Liam observed Amelia getting angry and toned down, saying, "Three years ago, we did sign a divorce agreement, but it didn't

    Amelia didn't think Karen would act so quickly, and she found it difficult to refuse her after looking at her warm gaze."Mr. Prescott, the Lancasters have prepared a banquet to welcome Madam into the family. And they've invited many people, including some previous partners of the Lancaster Group and some members of the Prescotts. "However, we still haven't received an invitation. Do you think…" Gio was reporting to Liam about Amelia in the office.Liam snorted. "The Lancasters must have other intentions to organize the banquet. If they still want me to spare them and Leona, they shouldn't use this method to corner me. They're being so public about things and are putting so much effort into this banquet to force me to attend it."Gio looked puzzled.Liam continued, "Charles is a cunning old man. He begged me to let go of the Lancasters. But when I disagreed, he tried to approach Lia. He never thought she would refuse too. So, he's still furious about this. He's reluctant to give

    The Lancasters' businesses had been continuously taken away, and Leona was nowhere to be found. This frustrated Charles."As expected, people who didn't grow up in this family are so unreliable. It's such a simple matter that could've been solved had she said anything about it, but she just won't help!" Charles paced around the living room while complaining about his daughter.Meanwhile, Karen looked a little worn out as she sat on the couch. She frowned and said, "Stop pacing around. You're making me dizzy!"Charles glanced at her. "I'm just too worried. If the company doesn't get new orders, we won't be able to pay salaries, and we'll lose our employees. If that really happens, the company will go bankrupt!"Despite the urgency of the situation, he still listened to Karen and sat across from her.Hannah looked at the anxious Charles and sneered, saying, "Dad, don't you understand?
