But in the end, I was injured, and I lost my baby!" Amelia defended Eric subconsciously.

Liam sniggered. "Yeah, without the baby, there'd be nothing binding us together anymore. Then we'd have an excuse to get a divorce."

Amelia's fingers dug deep into her palms. She looked down as a vortex of information overwhelmed her head.

Suddenly, her phone buzzed.

Amelia was shocked to see who the caller was and hesitated to pick up the call.

Liam glanced at Amelia and scoffed before leaving.

As she watched Liam's retreating figure, Amelia felt a complicated mix of emotions.

Was Liam… mad?

When Amelia snapped back to reality, her phone had already stopped vibrating, and she'd missed the call.

Eric didn't read too much into it when Amelia failed to pick up his call. He merely thought that she was preoccupied. But when he was told that Liam had gone to Amelia's office, Eric panicked.

Liam must have told Amelia something that made her refuse to pick up his call.

    Amelia was surprised to receive a call from Karen. "Amelia, are you free? Do you want to join us for dinner?" Karen's voice was tender as she asked.Amelia wasn't sure if she was hallucinating, but she thought that Karen sounded very affectionate. So, she subconsciously agreed to her invite. When she arrived at the Lancaster residence, Hannah answered the door."Be careful. They have an agenda for having you over," Hannah whispered into Amelia's ears. Then, she quickly put on a smile and called out, "Dad! Mom! Amelia's here."Amelia raised her brow, unsure of what Hannah was implying. But she also had a hunch that this wouldn't just be a simple dinner. Did they find out about her identity? At dinner, Karen was her usual self, but Charles seemed more hospitable than before.

    "The Lancasters and Leona are none of my business anymore." Amelia was deeply hurt but Charles's and Karen's attitude. She even resented them now. If they didn't care about her, why should she care about them? Would they help her in times of need if she helped them?Liam was surprised by Amelia's answer. "I thought you would say yes to Karen."Amelia was befuddled. "What makes you think that way?""Ever since the first time you met her, you always looked at Karen differently from the others. I didn't know how to explain it, but now, I think I understand. They say blood is thicker than water. So, maybe that's why she's special to you.""You think so?" Amelia wasn't aware of that. Then, she said, "Oh, I heard you acquired the Hamilton Group. Are they the Hamiltons I know?"Liam's voice turned stern when the Hamiltons were mentioned. "Yes, Brandon's family business.""Why? Isn't he a good friend of yours?" Amelia was confused."When you were kidnapped three years ago, he help

    Ever since they visited the shy man, Amelia had been avoiding Liam. She never picked up Liam's calls or replied to his texts. They both worked during the day, and Amelia mostly kept to herself in her office before getting off work early.Liam had also come to Amelia's apartment several times. He'd knocked many times, but Amelia would never answer the door. Truth to be told, Amelia was afraid that Liam would barge in. After all, he did let himself in the night she got hurt by Leona. Later on, Amelia changed her lock. However, her intuition told her that Liam still had her keys. But fortunately, Liam didn't barge in."Is it that difficult to forgive me?" Amelia looked at the text and refused to reply. Suddenly, her phone vibrated. Amelia stared at the caller ID for a while before picking it up."Amelia, are you free? Can you come to the hospital with me?"Amelia frowned. When she arrived at the hospital, she saw Alex sitting on the staircase. Her disheveled head was

    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? Liam's just venting his anger on us. He won't trouble us again once his anger dissipates.""Of c

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

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

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.

    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.
