As Liam was dying, someone suddenly pushed open the door of the lounge. Amber rushed inside, panic-stricken.

"Dad! What are you doing?" Amber threw herself at Liam, who was pressed against the tea table. Crying, she begged Benjamin, "Just talk it out! Don't hurt Liam… Let him go now!"

Only then did Benjamin put away his whip. He glared condescendingly at Liam. "Remember. You get to live because of Gem."

"Ack… Ugh!" Liam rubbed his neck, which was almost broken, and took deep breaths. He held the edge of the tea table to support himself. "Thank you for showing me mercy and letting me live, Mr. Jenkins."

"Humph! Stop thanking me. You should thank your future wife instead," Benjamin said, his tone overbearing and disdainful.

On the surface, he did that to punish Liam for being rude to him. In truth, he wanted to put Liam down and make the latter recognize his identity. Then, Liam would be nice to Amber.

"Dad, I told you, this is between Liam and me. We'll handle it well. Don't med

    It was the first time Benjamin saw Amber rebel against him. In a moment of desperation, he slapped her hard. "He doesn't even like you, but you insist on marrying him! Why is my daughter such a dumb bitch? Would it kill you to break up with him? You're embarrassing!"Amber's face grew swollen, and her lips bled.Liam frowned and stopped Amber. "Stop arguing with Mr. Jenkins. Yes, what I did today was impudent. He should punish me. As for our marriage, I think it's better—"Before he could say that they should forget about it, Amber covered his mouth and shook her head. "Our marriage has been decided. There's nothing to talk about. I must marry you. As for what goes between you and Ms. Everheart, I knew that beforehand. I'm fine with it. I won't blame you, either.""Good grief, you're shameless! You're infuriating!" Benjamin didn't expect his gentle daughter to be so stubborn about the marriage. Furious, he clutched his chest. It took him a long time to calm himself."You're a fu

    Liam looked at Amber, and sighed helplessly. He found himself owing her a lot, and thus deliberately avoided having much to do with her. He hoped she could see how bad he was, and willingly cancel their marriage.Yet, she foolishly and stubbornly desired him. She would rather turn hostile toward her father just to marry and protect him."You don't have to treat me this way. I'm a bastard." Liam said seriously, gripping her hand as she applied ointment to his neck. He was starting to feel bad. "What's…what's wrong?" Amber was stunned, blushing. Although she was about to marry Liam, they weren't very close to each other. They rarely spent time alone with each other, let alone had any physical contact. Liam suddenly held her hand, throwing her into anxiety. She had no idea how to react."What do you think?" Liam looked at the gentle and delicate woman. He tensed up and wanted to act fierce at first, but failed. Helpless, he sighed again. "Can't you see? I'm a disloyal and selfish s

    Amber looked up and pondered it. Then, she cracked a bitter smile. "Of course I'll be sad, but I'll be delighted if you can be free and be with your beloved woman. I think it's worthwhile."Amber spent her entire life in the fort. Although she grew up in a place full of evil, others protected her. She grew up to be a pure, simple, and kind woman regardless of her environment's wickedness and evilness.Her thoughts were very simple—she wanted the people she liked to be happy. As for her happiness, she didn't care about it. She loved Liam more than anyone else. Hence, seeing Liam happy would be her greatest happiness. "No, you're wrong!" Liam yelled.Amber's simple thoughts drove him mad. He gripped her shoulders and looked into her eyes, and said seriously, "Remember! You're an independent individual. You must put yourself above everything else. Your happiness is the most important thing. You can't regard others' happiness as yours because others aren't under your control. Yo

    "What…do you mean?" Amber asked carefully, swallowing.Liam pinched her face and turned it toward him. "If you don't listen to me, I'm going to take advantage of you. I'll make you see how wicked and vulgar this world is." He purposely said that to frighten Amber, as he knew that she always thought the best of him. She saw him as a gentleman without any vulgar thoughts.Hence, he could only use that method to ruin her perception and stop her infatuation with him. Then, she wouldn't seek justice for him or stand against Benjamin."No, you won't do that." Amber tensed up. Although she was very nervous, she met his gaze boldly. Liam was strikingly handsome, with his refined facial features and perfect figure. He was different from others in the fort. His skin was fair, though it was different from pretty boys. He was fair because he came from a wealthy family and led a comfortable life. Amber never understood what she liked about Liam. Later, she learned that it was most probabl

    Amber was no longer her usual shy and quiet self. She opened up herself, and made faces at Liam. "Why didn't you listen to me? Do you think I'm just trying to scare you?" For the first time, Liam saw that side of Amber. Suddenly, he became interested in her. He touched her red lips. "But I'm not trying to scare you.""I don't know if you're trying to scare me or not, but I know that you won't harm me. You're the best and most accomplished gentleman I've ever met. I won't be mad at you no matter what you do. I'm sure you want the best for me." Amber said seriously and naively as she reacted to Liam's flirtation, raising her chin. "Fine. You said that, so don't regret it." A sudden urge rose in Liam. He couldn't tell if he wanted to teach her the vulgarity of humanity, or if it was just his basic urges desiring a woman. Unexpectedly, he kissed her.Speechless, Amber could feel Liam's warmth on her lips. It was warm and gentle. She was dumbstruck and stood rooted to the spot, no

    "Bitch?" Amber repeated that word, as if she was doubting Mateo and interrogating herself. Then, she shook her head. "No, I don't think so. Liam and I are about to marry, so kissing is the most basic intimacy." "Humph!" Mateo sneered. "No, you're wrong. Getting married isn't the standard for a couple to kiss. It's love. Ask yourself—do you guys love each other? Before, he eagerly carried another woman. Now, he's kissing you. Isn't he a bastard? And yet, you treat yourself unfairly for such a bastard. Don't you think you're a bitch?""I… I…" Amber's eyes were red. She didn't know how to refute Mateo, and found herself very inferior. She wanted to lie to herself, but failed to find an excuse.Liam stood up and shot Mateo a complicated gaze, and said mockingly, "What do you know, then? Do you think you know and understand everything?""Don't I?" Mateo shot back. "Speak your mind. What do you feel about Gem? Don't tell me you love her. Maybe you aren't even willing to see her as your

    If Amber hadn't experienced any love from Liam, she might not stubbornly want more. But with just a kiss, she had fallen in love with him. She hoped he could hug her and kiss her more passionately, until his heart was full of her.When all her hope fell through uncontrollably, the difference was akin to an abyss engulfing her whole.Amber asked herself if she cared. Of course, she cared! "You've seen what a bastard he is. Why don't you stop wasting time with him?" Mateo gripped Amber and said angrily, "Come with me. Stop wasting your time with him. If you guys are apart long enough, you'll come to your senses. He won't be able to affect your feelings again."Amber hesitated for a long time, her head low. Then, she nodded. "Okay."Mateo was about to drag Amber away. Liam watched their backs, suddenly uneasy. For an unknown reason, he found her different from all the times he had met her before.She was no longer the woman who cared only for him and had abandoned her true self

    Liam, dumbstruck, stood frozen on the spot for a long time. Unexpectedly, he felt lost. He smoothed his clothes and calmed down before going to the guest room Renee stayed.The doctor bandaged Renee's wound and advised her to rest in bed for a few days.Leia was beside Renee, caring for the latter attentively. She felt very sorry for Renee; several times, she turned away to wipe away her tears.Liam opened the door and walked into the guest room. "How are you doing?""There you are, Liam!" Leia turned around, her eyes still red. "You don't know how miserable Ren was! That beast trap came with such long and sharp claws. It clamped her ankle. The doctor said she was lucky. Her tendons would be broken if the beast trap had deviated a bit."We didn't have a smooth journey. First, we got caught and were taken to a scamming factory. They nearly made us take part in a disgusting porno. Then, Ren was captured by that barbarous tribe. Your place is so dangerous, It isn't a place for humans

    Livid, Mateo pulled the trigger without hesitation. However, he moved the gun less than an inch. The bullet passed by Liam's ear and hit an orange behind him.The fruit immediately blew up, its juices splashing on Liam's face."Aaaah!" Amber, terrified, trembled. Her eyes turned red, and she hurriedly tried to plead with Mateo. "Matt, cool it! Aren't you and Liam friends? You guys drank and chatted together in the past. You were so close to each other. How could you do this to him? Hurry up and put the gun away! If it goes off accidentally, it'll be over!"However, Mateo ignored her. His eyes were red as he glared at Liam. "Did you see the orange behind you? Let go of her now! If not, I'll blow up your head just like I did to that orange!""Is that all you got?" Liam taunted. He refused to let Amber go. He whispered to Amber, "Watch well. If he shoots me today, promise me not to marry such a man. I can use my life to knock some sense into you.""No!" Amber shook her head. Liam

    "What bad timing!" Mateo's indifferent voice came from behind Amber.Amber turned around and saw Mateo with a team of armed soldiers. Terrified, she quickly put some distance between her and Liam. She stammered an explanation. "Matt… It's not what you think. Liam and I came here to look for people. Ms. Everheart and Ms. Osborne are gone. Liam couldn't find them and guessed they might be in the orchard. He wasn't familiar with the orchard and asked me to guide him."Mateo looked livid, but still cracked a gentle smile. "Silly, you don't have to be scared. I know you're prudent. He must have forced you to come here. I don't blame you."He extended his hand and beckoned Amber toward him. "Come here. You're my fiancee. You should stand with me.""I…" Amber bit her lip—Mateo was right. She kept her head low, about to walk to him.But in the next second, Liam firmly grabbed her wrist. "You can't go!" Liam held Amber's wrist tightly and shot Mateo a challenging look."When did Amb

    Liam could only see through Amber's true thoughts if she showed her true self to him. "No, I do like you. I love you the most, and I want to marry you. But you neither like me nor want to marry me. You love freedom and Ms. Everheart. You love and yearn for the kind of life ordinary people like. So, I could only choose to give you up and let you get what you want. What else do you want me to do?" Amber was generally shy and reserved, but when Liam drove her anxious, she rambled a lot."Whatever I want is my business. You don't need to sacrifice yourself to grant my wish!" Liam held Amber's shoulders, acting like a kind senior. He tried to persuade her in earnest. "Marriage isn't a joke. Think it through. Do you like and know Mateo well? You won't be happy after marrying him, given the savage culture around here. And can you divorce him easily?""Matt will be nice to me. Even if he changes his mind, he'll still be nice to me because…my father is Benjamin," Amber replied.She chose

    Being a sensitive woman, Amber immediately noticed Liam's displeasure. She kept her head lower and explained carefully, "I want a chance to choose again… I want to choose another person to fall in love with. You know that Matt and I grew up together. We're childhood friends. He likes me and always protects me without asking for anything back. I feel that it's happier to marry a person who loves me instead of marrying someone far beyond my reach."For the first time, she expressed the exhaustion she felt from her relationship with Liam. She no longer wanted to be the one who kept fawning over him. She wanted to give up and relax by being the one who was loved and adored in a relationship."Tsk!" Liam snorted arrogantly. "You don't know Mateo. He's not a nice guy. He's just good at pretending. Maybe it's just his means to get what he wants, but you assume that he loves and wants to protect you."Liam hadn't made that statement to purposely put Mateo down. After standing against Mate

    Liam focused on holding Amber's hand and leading her through the orange grove. At the same time, he carefully scanned the ground and trees to find any related clues left by Renee and Leia."I don't care what others say, because I didn't do anything wrong," he said indifferently. "I hope you'll feel the same. I don't think you need to stop being my friend after choosing to marry Mateo. Am I not the friend you like the most?""That's different," Amber said.She followed Liam passively. At first, she couldn't adapt to it. After walking briefly, she felt better and found it easier to do. "Although I'm not good at my studies, I know men and women should keep a polite distance. You can't take my hand and sound righteous at the same time," she mumbled."Why not?" Liam retorted firmly. "When I was young, I always held my sister's hand wherever we went. I'm holding your hand because this fog is thick and the ground is slippery. I'm afraid of being separated from you. Just walk with me. St

    Liam walked ahead of Amber, then turned to glance at her. He faked a smile and asked, "What's the matter? Are you worried that I might take advantage of you?" "No, of course not!" Amber quickly shook her head and pushed her scarf up. It had fallen a little. "I just find it improper," she answered softly.She looked like a typical woman from Southeast Aeos, petite and with a small face. Her skin was tanned, and her facial features weren't very distinct. She was charming and reserved, exuding a girlish pureness. She had put on her country's special traditional clothes. The thick clothes, embroidered with various patterns, wrapped around her petite body and gave her an exotic impression. From afar, she appeared like a colorful oil painting. "Hey, it's not improper. If I wanted to do anything to you, I would've done that long ago. I don't have to wait until now." Liam sounded relaxed and prudent to ease Amber's anxiety."Don't worry. I've always regarded you as my younger siste

    Amber hurriedly turned Liam down. "You can't help with my affairs. I can handle it.""Well, tell me why I can't help you," Liam pressed. "I… I want to sew a wedding gown. And there are a lot of details that I need to add." Amber became competitive for no reason, and added stubbornly, "Your words aren't absolute. Yes, your business is important, but so is mine!""Oh, you want to sew a wedding gown. I can help you with that…" Liam said, relaxed. "Maybe I didn't get to tell you that I went to a small country in Southeast Aeos when I traveled around the world. I got to know a great sewing master. The pictures he sewed looked real like paintings! I found them interesting, so I learned from him. My sewing skills are probably better than yours. I can help you with that.""Really? You can sew?" Amber was full of surprise and admiration. Her eyes lit up. "I can't sew well. I want to learn from a great master too! If you can do it, can you teach me?""Of course!" Liam promised. "Can you he

    "Uh…" Amber looked like she was being put in a difficult position. She found it impudent for a man and a woman to be alone in the dense orchard at night. "What's wrong? Is it inconvenient?" Liam frowned, puzzled. He felt that Amber was purposely avoiding him after expressing her desire not to marry him and making Mateo her groom instead.Before, she would always put on her favorite dress and stand at the entrance of the fort, looking eager no matter how late Liam and Benjamin returned from their work.Usually, she would carry a small bamboo basket containing the tea she brewed and dessert or food she had painstakingly prepared. When Liam returned, she would excitedly welcome him and inquire after him. Lately, she no longer did that. When Liam occasionally ran into her in the fort, she would bow indifferently at him and quickly brush past him as if they were merely acquaintances. They seemed distant.Honestly, Liam found it unfamiliar. He couldn't get used to the fact that Amber

    "I don't know. Why don't you ask the guards to get us some fried chicken and French fries? Didn't Mateo say that we can ask the guards for food?" Renee said.Leia's anxiety eased as she relaxed. She turned around and got out of bed, then gestured at the guard and ordered quite a lot of food. Meanwhile, Liam accompanied Benjamin to West River in the morning for a negotiation that yielded a good result. Benjamin's attitude had improved. He didn't demand an explanation from Liam about the affairs between Liam and Amber, and didn't ask about Renee or Leia either. Liam was delighted. He carried the unique desserts he had bought at the local market for Renee and Leia to enjoy. Upon arrival, he found that they were not in the room. "Weird. Where did they go?" Liam looked around, but found no sign of Renee and Leia. He casually asked a servant, but the servant stammered and insisted on not knowing anything. Anxious, Liam kept looking for them in the fort. Coincidentally, he ran into
