"Amelia, so you've returned to Terracrest!"In the villa, Leona took out her frustration on the flowers, beating them with a stick and sending petals flying.The once lush flowers, meticulously tended by the maids, now looked sparse and desolate. Numerous leaves had fallen, creating a mess around them.From the hallway, the maid watched as Leona vented her frustration. She felt sorry for her but hesitated to intervene.Just then, the familiar click of the entrance was heard. When the maid saw who it was, her eyes lit up. She rushed to tell Leona, "Mrs. Prescott, Mr. Prescott is back!""Liamo's home?" Filled with joy, Leona quickly entered the villa. She was oblivious to the maid's pained expression as she approached the flower bed."Liamo, you're back?" Leona greeted the person she had been longing for with a beaming smile, completely devoid of the jealousy and anger she'd displayed moments before.Liam glanced at her and responded with a subtle nod.The villa was Leona's bri
After exiting the mansion, Liam quickly drove away.Leona's drug had no antidote, and he had no intention of going to the hospital right away either. In his mind, there was only one person he wanted to see and hold right then.Liam sped through several red lights and finally reached his destination.Amelia was about to go to bed when she heard a knock at the door."Who is it?" She went to the door. Amelia was shocked to see who it was when she peered through the peephole. After a moment of thought, she decided not to open the door.Outside, Liam couldn't contain himself. When he left the villa, he felt like his body was about to explode. In order to stay calm, he'd used a fruit knife to cut his arm.Suddenly, Amelia heard the sound of keys opening the door and widened her eyes. Did Liam have the keys to her house?Just as the thought appeared, Liam had already opened the door and entered."Why do you have the key to my house?" Amelia asked, anger written all over her
In the living room, a maid was busy mopping the floor."Ah!"Hearing Leona's cry of distress, the maid quickly turned around and saw Leona collapse to the ground."Madam, are you okay?" she asked."Seriously? You turned the floor into a pool!"The maid helped Leona up, only to receive a slap from her."Sorry, Madam! It was all my fault!" The maid hung her head low as she apologized, but she had an evil smile on her face.The maid used to think that Leona was a breeze to take care of. But the longer she stayed at the villa, the more Leona's bad moods led to her being mistreated and humiliated. This bred resentment within her.Over the past three years, Liam rarely visited Leona. And even when he did return, he wouldn't share a bed with her. This, in turn, caused the maid to lose any respect she might have had for Leona.That night, when Leona had plotted against Liam, little did she know that the maid was plotting against her as well!The maid witnessed Leona tampering wit
"What's the deal with Liam, Leona? Ask him why he withdrew from so many business partnerships with us!" Leona was stunned when she received a phone call from Charles. Then, she smiled and replied, "He sure is ruthless." Charles became suspicious and could hear that something wasn't right from Leona's tone. "What do you mean? Did you and Liam get into an argument?" he asked. "Yeah, I did have an argument with him. I wonder if you're asking this because you're worried about our relationship, or if you're just worried about your company." Charles quickly relented after realizing that Leona was angry. "I'm worried about you the most, dear. But what happened between the two of you? It's normal for married couples to get into arguments, but you shouldn't take it out on the company. Just talk him out of it, okay?" Leona just snorted as she hung up. Charles only truly cared about the company and not about Leona and Liam's relationship. He was just afraid that an argument b
Amelia frowned as she looked at the distraught Liam. Then, she immediately snatched the wine glass from his hand. "Why are you still drinking if you can tell that you're already drunk?" Liam wasn't angry even when his wine glass was snatched away. Instead, he simply stood up and leaned in close to Amelia. Amelia quickly took a step back. "What are you doing?" "Haha, this dream is really realistic." Liam smiled and reached out to pinch her face. "It feels just as good as I remember. "Thank God it's a dream. The real you wouldn't have let me touch you at all. Do you remember how happy we were that night? Why did you have to say that it was just a one-night stand?" Liam frowned, seemingly aggrieved. "I was still really happy even though you were angry about it. I'd finally had you by my side again. I'm actually kinda grateful to Leona. I wouldn't have been forced to go and look for you if she hadn't drugged me. "I was really afraid … Afraid that you've forgotten about me
"Not everything can be solved by reporting it to the police. Leona may not be Rory's biological mother, but she has custody of him as his step-mother that raised him. The law dictates that Rory should be with Leona. And as for the injuries on his body, we don't have evidence to prove that she's guilty of it." Liam explained. Amelia's expression turned gloomy as she listened to Liam's explanation. "What did you mean when you said that you were going to marry her?" she asked. Weren't they already married? Liam smiled and looked at her. "Do you want to know?" Amelia noticed his expression and pouted to pretend she didn't care. "I don't wanna know. You can talk about it if you want, or don't talk about it if you don't." "Haha. Have you seen the recent news about drug dealers being arrested?" Amelia was confused by the sudden question, but she still nodded her head. "I did. They're a really evil bunch of people. They were operating around all sorts of major entertainmen
Amelia took a big swig of the liquor before her. It burned her throat, prompting her to heave and cough out loud. Liam patted Amelia's back and chided her affectionately, "Even if you want to drown your sorrow away, this isn't how you do it."Amelia tilted her head and looked at him. "Weren't you drinking too? Join me."Liam stared at Amelia for a while and laughed. "Sure."They then began chugging drink after drink. Soon, Amelia's cheek had turned scarlet, and her eyes became glossy. This sight of hers rekindled something within Liam, and his heart tingled with excitement.He said, "Lia, I've told you everything. And I've settled everything too. "Will you be mine again, please?"Amelia looked at Liam and smiled, but whether or not she had heard what he said was unclear.Liam held Amelia by her shoulder, and she smiled as she leaned closer. Despite the alcoholic scent she had on her, Liam didn't find the scent unpleasant. "Liam, I feel bad for you, you know? She sai
"Ms. Shannon, Astra called again to ask about the script. Have you made up your mind?" Erina asked Amelia if she had decided which company to sell the copyright to.Amelia rubbed her temples as she thought of how Astra kept pestering her. Did Eric ask them to do that? "Who from Astra called?" Amelia asked."An agent, Farah. She's trying to get the female lead role for a celebrity under her. I've met the celebrity before. She has the look that matches the female lead's vibe," Erina replied."Farah?" Amelia was surprised to hear this name. "You know what? Invite all three companies to a meeting.""Sure." Erina nodded. "Ms. Shannon, you want to meet all of them at once?""Yes, they're all rivals anyway. Let's hear it from them." After Erina left, Amelia took out Astra's document and read it. She then put it aside before calling Eric. "Astra is interested in my script too?" she asked.Eric was shocked. "Someone from my company called?"Amelia smiled and answered, "Yes. Peopl
