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

    "Ms. Summers, do you know what homewrecker even means? I married Liam first, and you butted in afterward."If that isn't the textbook definition of a homewrecker, then what is, Ms. Summers?"There was a faint smile on Amelia's face.She didn't realize it, but her smile made Ava even angrier.To Ava, Amelia thought that she was better than her. She had the gall to speak to Ava in disdain.Ava thought, "She's just a country bumpkin. Where does she get this arrogance from? She's only this confident because she married Liam!""Liam and I are in love. You're the homewrecker who's getting between us!" Ava screamed, "You're the homewrecker!"Amelia stood up and looked down at her. "Only insecure people repeat falsehoods they believe to be true."Ms. Summers, how reluctant are you to believe that the feelings between you and Liam aren't real?""What are you saying?" Ava screamed.

    Amelia felt something weighing on her heart.Ava continued, "Of course, Liam knows that I'm here. If I didn't have permission, how else would I know about this place?"Now, Amelia couldn't suppress her doubt anymore. She glanced at Ava, feeling her heart sink.After a moment of thought, Amelia looked at Ava. "Ms. Summers, you keep saying that you’re carrying Liam's child. When did you get pregnant?"A proud look appeared on Ava's face. She walked around the living room. "You don't know, do you? I got pregnant here, in the master bedroom!"A bolt struck Amelia's heart. As expected, they did it that night …She had seen it happening herself. But when it was mentioned again, she still felt her heart break."Of course, I know that. You think you know everything, Ms. Summers, then what about this? Because Liam brought you home that night, I moved out."Liam was reprimanded by the Prescotts for this."She had added the last part. She just wanted to tell Ava that Liam was reprimanded

    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?"

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.

    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.

"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.

    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.

    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.
