"Silly Billy, I've never asked you this before since I know it's your personal affair. But I'm still worried about it. So, can I ask … you and Liam …"Oscar looked a little hesitant. He probably didn't know how to word the question.When Amelia heard Oscar mention Liam, she already knew what he wanted to ask.She smiled helplessly. "It's not something I can't talk about. After all, everyone knows that something's going on between Liam and I.""Is it true?" Oscar asked.Amelia briefly fell silent."It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. It's not like I want to know about your personal affairs either. I'm just worried about you." Oscar patted her hair and put on a considerate smile.Amelia shook her head. "No, I was just wondering how I should say it." Her relationship with Liam couldn't be described in one word."When Mr. Richards sent you back that day, I heard that he bumped into Liam. Are you and Liam living together?" Oscar asked in a small voice. He was trying to be
That day, while Amelia was practicing the lines with Oscar, Karl suddenly hurried up to them. He had a grave look on his face."You two! Did you guys offend anyone?" Karl asked.Both Amelia's and Oscar's expressions changed when they heard Karl's question."Check the news online. We can't even suppress them. Astra's Public Relations Department has already made their move, but it wasn't very effective. They'd just removed the news when another one popped out," Karl said.Amelia and Oscar hastily checked their phones. The internet was filled with scandals about them.The photos were all taken at cunning angles. There was supposed to be some distance between them, but in the photos, they looked extremely intimate with each other.The contents of the articles were very controversial as well."Female Assistant Seduces Male Celebrity for Promotion.""Failing to Attract a Certain President, Female Assistant Seeks Another Way Up."Amelia's expression shifted drastically as she looke
Amelia's expression shifted drastically."That's not it. Nothing is going on between me and Oz. My relationship with Liam also isn't what you think it is!" Amelia explained loudly. But Farah didn't believe her. She continued smiling mockingly. "I'm glad you left my team. If not, you might've dragged me down. You still don't know who that woman is, do you? She's more distinguished than Ava. With her around, the women flocking to Liam would all be irrelevant.""Farah!" Karl warned. "Don't forget, we still work in the company. Since you admire Liam so much, are you planning to work at the Prescott Group instead?""Go ahead, keep protecting them and letting them wreak havoc. We'll see how long you can remain as the top-ranking manager!" Farah exclaimed. With that, she proudly strutted away in her high heels.Karl sighed. He then looked at Amelia. "Don't mind what she said."Amelia squeezed out a smile. "I'm fine."But after that, Amelia was distracted at work. She would do somethin
Liam was in a foul mood. He did hear the noise when Amelia came back, but he didn't want to go downstairs. He knew that if he saw her, he wouldn't be able to control himself. He would shout at her, and she would look timid like she always had in the past.He got annoyed at the thought and refused to see her.But he was still fuming!Amelia was his wife and his woman. He couldn't accept the thought of her getting involved with Oscar all the time.Footsteps sounded outside the door. For some reason, he was very sure that it was Amelia. But the footsteps halted outside the door. The visitor didn't have the intention to come in. Anxious, Liam quickly opened the door.Amelia was wondering if she should knock on the door and go in. Finally, she decided to place the food on the floor, and then knock on the door before leaving.But then, she noticed that the door had been hastily opened from the inside. When Amelia saw the slightly impatient look on the man's face, she grew nervous.
Amelia widened her eyes and glared at Liam. He was impossible to reason with."What do you want me to do so that you'll believe me?" she asked."Quit your job! Stay at home and don't go anywhere!" Liam spoke viciously as his hands tightly gripped the armrests of his chair. He feared that if he loosened his grip, he would lose control of the rage in his heart. He might not be able to refrain from hurting her then."That's impossible!" Amelia blurted out without thinking."Why is it impossible? What are you even working for?" Liam looked at her in disbelief. He couldn't believe that she refused to listen to him."I need money, so I have to work!" David was a greedy man. He had taken Liam's money, so for now, he wasn't causing trouble for Amelia. But she knew very well that once he used up all the money, he would come knocking again. David wouldn't be so obedient to listen to Liam. He wouldn't just get out of her life after taking that huge sum of money in one go."If you want
Amelia didn't know what she said that had touched Liam, but he stopped asking her to quit her job.Amelia let out a relieved sigh. However, the conflict still wasn't resolved."You can go to work, but you can't be Oscar's assistant anymore," Liam said.Amelia looked at him in disappointment. In the end, he still didn't believe her.The disappointment in Amelia's eyes made Liam a little pissed. "Amelia, have you never thought about who I am to you?" Liam had the urge to gouge out her heart to see what it was made of.He had already compromised, so she should compromise as well."There really is nothing going on between Oscar and I. If I quit my job, people will think that I'm doing it out of guilt. So, I can't leave. And I have to keep working too," Amelia said.Unbeknownst to Liam, Amelia wasn't just stubborn. She was also trying to explain to him that she and Oscar were innocent, so he wouldn't feel guilty too.Looking at the stubborn woman in front of him, Liam only felt a
"It's getting late. You should go back. I'll send you." Liam took out some cash from his wallet. He then pulled the woman along and left.On the other end of the bar counter, Eric downed the wine in his glass. A smile appeared on his lip as he watched the two of them leave.The next day, the online news of Amelia and Oscar were suppressed. Instead, there was an update on the news between Liam and his new love interest.In the first photo, the two had walked out of the bar together. Perhaps because the woman had drunk too much, she was wobbly on her feet. Liam had wrapped an arm around her waist, half-embracing her.In the next photo, they were walking inside a building. The sign on the building stated that it was a certain hotel. It was quite obvious under the neon lights of the night.Amelia closed the news page and suddenly calmed down.She didn't know what she was thinking, but tears mysteriously began to fall.It wasn't her first time seeing news of Liam and his new love int
Amelia's expression shifted when she heard about the marriage agreement. She didn't know about that at all!"Is the marriage between Liam and the second young lady of the Lancasters?" Amelia's voice was trembling as she asked.She was suddenly very scared. She didn't know what she should do if Alex's reply was affirmative.She was so anxious that she didn't even dare to make a sound."I only know that there's a marriage agreement between the two families. I don't know the details. But you've been married to Liam for so long. Don't you know anything about the Prescotts?" Alex asked.Amelia felt embarrassed hearing Alex's question.She truly knew nothing about the Prescott family. She felt uneasy every time she went to the Prescott Manor. So it never occurred to her to learn more about the Prescotts.Alex sighed from the other end of the line. "I'll look into it, then. It might not be them after all. I remember that Liam has an older brother, but I heard that he's not around anymo
