Although Liam didn't admit to it, many outsiders thought that they were dating. Since she was a talent in his company, he could manufacture a chance for them to break up amicably. He could even compensate her for it.After all, a woman he'd abandoned had zero chance of staying in the entertainment industry.But when Liam thought of possibly having another woman, he got even more worked up. He walked around the office but still couldn't resist the urge to pick up his keys and leave."Mr. Prescott, how rare it is to see you here!"Farah immediately rushed to the Astra guest lounge when she got the news, abandoning her work."Didn't you say you would treat me to a meal?"Farah's eyes brightened. She laughed and said, "Yes, I did. Everyone says that having a meal with you is a very beneficial experience. You, mister, have never given me the honor. Now that you're here, Mr. Prescott, what do you say?"Liam didn't reject her invitation to a meal last time, only saying that he would ha
Looking at the congested traffic outside, Amelia let out a sigh.With so many cars on the road and it being time to get off work, there was no way she could rush back in time. Even if she arrived in half an hour, Liam would still be upset.After some thought, Amelia called him, but Liam didn't pick up. She laughed bitterly. Liam really wanted her to trip over herself getting to him!Outside the Astra building, Liam sat in his car wearing a dark expression. He waited for five minutes, but Amelia still didn't hadn’t left the building. She must still be with Oscar!When his phone rang, the sight of Amelia's name on the screen annoyed Liam, so he tossed his phone aside and let it ring, ignoring it the whole time.Then, someone knocked on his window. Outside the car, Farah looked apologetic."I'm sorry, Mr. Prescott. I just remembered that Amelia went out for a commercial shoot with Oscar today. She's rushing back now. I'm afraid you'll have to wait. Why don't you come inside instead?
In the private room, Liam didn't speak, and Amelia didn't know what to say, either. She sat there with him, her nerves dancing on a wire.After the food was served, Liam looked at her and said, "Eat up!"Amelia looked at Liam. She was already nervous, and now that Liam had given the order, she didn't dare disobey. She finished half the food with the strange tension charging the air around them.Liam also finished eating when she did. Seeing the leftover food on her plate, Liam got a waiter to come over and asked, "Have you changed chefs?""You should know that we have never changed chefs, Mr. Prescott. And since you came personally today, our proprietress was the one who cooked.""Then please tell her I'm not happy with her cooking today!"Amelia was stunned for a moment. She found the food quite delicious!She had been wondering why Liam would come to this unassuming and out-of-the-way restaurant, but after tasting the food, she knew it was because it was amazing.In her ponde
"Miss, do you have complaints about my cooking or me?" Lily stopped pestering Liam. Instead, she turned her attention to Amelia. She looked amused.Amelia pursed her lips. "There's nothing wrong with your cooking.""So you have a problem with me." Raising her eyebrow, Lily looked at Liam. "Is this another one of your relationship problems?"Liam didn't say a word. Instead, he looked at Amelia. He felt something strange stirring in his heart."Great, now I have to watch someone get jealous. What were you thinking? Ava is already pregnant, and you're still meeting other women!"Hearing Lily's words, Amelia felt that something was off. Still, she couldn't quite get it."Alright, this doesn't concern you anymore. You can leave now."Lily gave Amelia a few odd looks. Then, she left with a smile.The room turned silent in an instant. Amelia was sad, and she didn't want to look at him. She could only lower her head."You're jealous."Hearing someone chuckle in a low voice, she immed
Amelia said that she believed Liam, but her expression told him clearly that she didn't believe him at all!"Amelia, I've already explained it to you. Don't get cocky!""Understood, Mr. Prescott. Let's eat. We’re done talking about those unsavory things." Amelia stood up and poured out some wine for him.If everything he did was deemed right in the end, she had nothing to say."Mr. Prescott?" Liam suddenly smiled. "You do know how to separate private matters from official business."When Lily was getting close to him, Amelia looked angry and sad. Liam thought that she was jealous and that she cared about him.He was quite happy about it, thinking she finally looked a little like the person he remembered. But now, her distant and polite behavior proved him wrong."Farah arranged for me to dine with you. Since it's a work-related matter, I naturally have to treat it like work."Instead of getting angry, Liam smiled. "Do you know why Farah asked you to dine with me?"Amelia repli
After leaving the restaurant, Amelia was disappointed. She realized that the restaurant in the alley was too secluded.After rounding the corner and going down a few alleys, Amelia still hadn't made it to the main street. She didn't know how Liam managed to find his way there.Just when she was about to knock on a door to ask for directions, a car horn sounded behind her.She turned to see John poking his head out of a car window. "I'll send you home, Madam.""How did you know that I was here?" After getting into the car, Amelia asked John this."I was in the area, and Mr. Prescott said that you may have gotten lost."She thought about the bold move she made at the restaurant. Her heartbeat quickened."Then … where is he?"Amelia thought, "Why didn't he come along? Is he mad? But if he was mad, he wouldn't have asked John to pick me up and send me home.""I don't dare to ask about Mr. Prescott's intentions. Perhaps he'll return after you've gone back."At that moment, Amelia
"Have you had enough of looking?"The man raised his head. Amelia could see his face better now. She nodded subconsciously. "Yes, now I've seen your face properly.""Why were they chasing you?"Hearing that question, Amelia suddenly returned to her senses. "Sir, can you please take me outside? I don't want to return to that village!"She gripped the man's hand, pleading."You're from Bryxton?" The man glanced calmly at the hands gripping his arm. She had slender fingers, but sadly, her hands were covered in dust. She was quite filthy."Yes, I need to leave. I don't want to go back to the village!" Amelia suppressed the fear in her heart. She had a feeling that the man was capable of helping her.Even though she was scared of his cold demeanor, she still held onto the man's arm tightly. She feared that he would turn her away."Running away won't solve the problem. Tell me what happened."The man's sharp gaze suddenly gave Amelia courage. Releasing her grip on him, she settled i
"These are all family matters. They have nothing to do with an outsider like you!"Suppressing the bitter hurt she felt, Amelia spoke coldly."Is that so? Doesn’t that make you delusional? I have the blood of a Prescott in my belly. Doesn’t that make me part of the family?"I'm not entirely unrelated to these matters!"As Ava spoke, she touched her tummy and put on a gleeful smile.Amelia only found Ava's smile glaring back at her."You can have the baby, but who knows if they're truly a descendant of the Prescott family? Also, Ms. Summers, you have to successfully give birth to the baby first!""The Prescotts can mock me and look down on me all they want. But what right does Ava have to do the same?" Amelia thought. "Just because Liam likes her? Even so, I won't allow it!"Amelia had been bullied too much in the past. Now that Ava was goading her, she had finally had enough. She wanted to make a huge fuss about it.Still, she kept her wits about her. Even if she was going to
