Amelia understood that if she insisted on staying, it would only make things more chaotic.

She looked at Liam seriously and said, "Regardless of the circumstances, you are still her grandson-in-law. Lots of guests are here because of you. I trust that you can handle the situation."

Liam nodded. "Don't worry. Just get some rest and come back later."

Eric felt bitter hearing their conversation. Although he was there, Amelia didn't ask him for help. He had been more than happy to help out without being asked, but he was simply ignored.

Despite Maria's disappointment with Liam, Amelia still trusted him with her grandma's funeral. It indicated that Liam still had a significant place in her heart.

"The granddaughter of the Jensons is really fortunate to have married such a well-off man."

"Initially, they said she had been sold off by her uncle. But now, it seems like she made the right choice by marrying her husband. If it weren't for him, this funeral wouldn't be so grand. Look at the

    Benjamin rushed over three days after Maria's funeral. Over the past two days, David and Monica had argued repeatedly over the donations, making Peter extremely angry."Get Liam to return all the donations from his associates. The rest should go to Amelia!" Peter slammed the table angrily. He was deeply disappointed by his children's behavior.Monica widened her eyes. "Return it? We can't do that! We've already accepted it. Moreover, even if we return it, people won't take it back! Besides, that's too embarrassing!"David also hesitated. But looking at the expressions on Peter and Amelia, he quietly passed the bag to Amelia. She sighed in relief when David did so. Fortunately, he still had some conscience.After some further bickering, Liam finally proposed to divide the money into three portions. David would take 60 percent and Amelia would take 20 percent. The remainder would be distributed by Peter.Watching her family argue over money made Amelia bitter. Maria had just passed

    "Benjamin!"Upon hearing Amelia's condition, Monica panicked and immediately looked at Benjamin with a pleading expression.Even he was shocked. "Amelia, Monica is your mother. Why do you want—""Because I don't want a mother like her!" Amelia sneered and smiled mockingly.Monica glanced at Benjamin and burst into tears. "Amelia, I know you still blame me for leaving you back then. But … I really had no choice. Otherwise, I wouldn't have—""That's enough!" Amelia coldly interrupted her and looked at Benjamin. "I've stated my condition. The decision is yours."The rest of the Jensons looked at Amelia silently."I haven't had parents since I was a baby. They never raised me. Now that I'm all grown up, they just want me to go back to them. Things are not that simple." Amelia spoke without waiting for Peter to respond."I support you, just do whatever you think is right!" Liam patted Amelia's hair, smiling tenderly.Seeing Amelia's steadfastness, Peter didn't try to persuade her o

    "I did investigate back then, right after the car accident. The car wasn't tampered with. From the evidence at the scene, it was clear that the accident happened due to the driver's carelessness. Plus, before that accident, Luke had made some arrangements. It was like he knew he was going to die."So, when Leona claimed that the car accident had been orchestrated by my brother, I had some doubts. That day, I was supposed to accompany Leona to her destination, but Luke sent me away."His voice was calm, but Amelia could feel the sorrow he was silently enduring."But, your brother was gone."Amelia couldn't restrain herself from airing her doubts. Even if everything Leona said was true, Luke had already died. What could she possibly achieve with the evidence?Liam smiled. "When Luke was alive, he established a charitable foundation. Even though he's gone, the foundation lives on. The Prescotts donate to the foundation every year. If Luke was exposed as a murderer, it would significa

    After listening to Amelia, Alex nodded thoughtfully. "No matter what happened in the past, you're still their daughter. Since they're getting married now, you should go. "Besides, didn't you force your dad to choose? He just chose your mom. If you don't want to accept them as your parents, then you should take this opportunity to clear things up so that you won't have to be distressed all the time in the future."On the day of the wedding banquet, Amelia got all dressed up. The Jacksons' family home was not in Sableton, so she set off earlier to avoid the traffic.Amelia was fully focused on her driving. Even though there wasn't much traffic, her eyes were glued to the road ahead. She didn't notice that there was a car following her.While stopped at a red light, Eric noticed a familiar-looking car to his right. Just as the lights turned green, Eric saw that it was Amelia's car. Raising his eyebrows, he felt delighted as he hadn't expected to see her on the road.Just as he thoug

    On his way to the parking lot, Liam ignored his ringing phone. He tossed it onto the passenger seat and drove toward the hospital. Throughout the journey, his phone continued to ring.But Liam wasn't in the mood to pick it up. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that it was from Leona. The sight of her name only annoyed Liam further. The phone finally went silent. Perhaps Leona had accepted that Liam probably didn't want to talk to her. But as soon as the ringing stopped, another call came in. It was from One-Eye. Liam calmed himself down and answered the phone. He could ignore Leona's call, but not One-Eye's. "Mr. Onei, to what do I owe this pleasure?""Well, someone has been trying to reach you, but she hasn't had much success. So, I'm doing her a favor."Liam's eyes narrowed. "Oh? I wonder who it is.""Hmm, it's someone close to you. She's an old friend of mine too."As he said that, Leona's voice came through. "Liamo, I tried calling you. Why didn't you pick up your ph

    Liam turned his back on Leona, unwilling to face her. "You keep saying that I won't divorce Amelia. It's true. Because if I divorce her, I'll have to marry you. But I feel disgusted thinking about how I'll have to sleep with a woman like you. I feel dirty."Leona's jaw fell. "So that's why." She then smiled bitterly. "But Liamo, it wasn't like I lost my virginity by choice. When I was engaged to Luke, I still thought about you a lot. And when Luke tried to initiate sex, I turned him down."Men have their needs. I know that. So I let Luke sleep with other women. I kept this fact from everyone. But one day, he was drunk. And he … He forced himself on me." Leona began weeping pitifully.Liam just started at Leona. After a while, he offered her a hand. "Get up. The floor is cold."Leona was overjoyed. "Liamo, you still care about me, don't you? You still love me."After Liam guided Leona to the couch, he continued, "I know it wasn't your choice. But what happened that day happened. I

    "What now? Don't you want to leave me?" Liam asked with a smile when he saw Amelia hesitating to sign the document in front of her.Amelia lifted her chin and glared at Liam. "I can't wait to leave you." She then bitterly mocked herself. She had been the one pushing for a divorce, yet she was the one who was hesitating at the very last minute.While Liam opposed the idea at first, when he made up his mind to sign the divorce paper, he did it decisively. Perhaps because he already found another person, even though Liam had told Amelia that he was forced to marry Leona.Over the past few days, Amelia had been thinking. What if Leona lied? What if the proof that Luke had wanted to kill Leona never existed? In that case, Liam would never recover the proof even if he married Leona. Would he divorce Leona then? Or would he not?Amelia shook her head, trying to push away those things in her head. She clenched the pen in her hand. The moment the tip touched the paper, Amelia felt her heart

    "Sir, I found a lead. Three different individuals bought Madam's equity." Gio came in to report the results of his investigation.Liam put down the document that was in his hands. "Who are they? And who did they buy it from?""All three of them are foreigners who live abroad. They have some money but keep a low profile. Not many people know about them. As for their broker, all three of them said they found the broker online."I traced the broker's IP address. He logged on in cybercafés, and looking at the security footage yields nothing so far."Liam frowned. Gio lowered his head, knowing that he hadn't been very successful with Liam's orders lately."The transactions were carried out in three different cybercafés, at three different times. I think the broker was the same person. But the security footage of those cybercafés all had problems around the same time of their visit. I checked the list of visitors and found no one suspicious."Liam's expression darkened. "They came prep

    James spoke of the past without any warning.Amelia was surprised to hear the story. She didn't expect that the generation before her had such connections."I didn't know what Karen felt for me. She always hid her emotions well. She was always elegant and noble in front of everyone and never did anything inappropriate. She was a true heiress of a wealthy family."After finding out your background, I wanted my son to fulfill this regret for me since I couldn't be with the woman I loved. I hoped my son could be with her daughter."I wanted Luke and Leona to marry for this purpose as well. Family interests were not my priority. Unfortunately, they had an accident, and my wish wasn't fulfilled. Then, I found out that Leona had been to Bryxton and suspected the identity of Hannah and you.

    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.
