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
There was a long silence on the other end of the line.Just when Amelia thought that May wouldn't tell her anything, May replied."Madam, you know that I'd taken care of Mr. Prescott Senior and Madam Ember at the Prescott Manor. After you married into the family, I came with Mr. Prescott to Riverbay Residence. So I do indeed know a little about the Prescotts' past."Amelia grew nervous. May knew, but she wasn't sure if May would tell her."Mr. Prescott did indeed have an older brother." May's reply verified her suspicions.Amelia had a slightly complicated feeling in her heart. For some reason, she felt her heart ache out of nowhere. It was as if her heart was aching for the man who kept hurting her."Madam, I'll tell you about this matter, but please do not mention it in front of Mr. Prescott. Even now, Mr. Luke Prescott's existence is taboo to both the Prescotts and Mr. Prescott. No one should mention him in their presence at all." May earnestly reminded Amelia, fearing she wou
"Oz, I know that the innocent don't have to defend themselves. Still, it's not a good idea to have other people see this. You're a popular celebrity, and you have tons of fans. Your fans might come after me," Amelia explained so that things wouldn't feel so awkward.Oscar smiled. "You're my assistant, and Karl has already announced that. My fans won't misunderstand.""We still have to be careful. After all, there are many kinds of fans these days.""Fine, whatever you say. Silly Billy is always right." Oscar chuckled. He then asked Amelia out for dinner. Amelia was about to decline when Oscar said, "Mr. Richards and Karl will be coming too. They especially mentioned you and wanted you to come along."Since Oscar had put it like that, Amelia didn't find it appropriate to decline.Fortunately, no one mentioned the scandal between Amelia and Oscar over dinner. But Karl did have a few comments about Liam and the woman. "I heard that the woman is the second young lady of the Lancas
Amelia was a little surprised when she saw the man sitting in the living room. However, she didn't say anything.When she was about to go upstairs, he called out to her. "Why did you come back so late?"Amelia pursed her lips. She thought for a moment before walking over to him. She then sat on the couch on the other side of the room."I had dinner before coming back." Amelia was smarter this time. She didn't tell him who she had gone to dinner with; she just said that she had dinner before coming home. This was the truth, she wasn't lying.Liam didn't ask her who she had dinner with. He simply narrowed his eyes and studied her. He looked like he didn't quite believe her, but he didn't probe.Seeing that he didn't have any other questions, Amelia decided not to spend any more time with him. But Liam didn't seem like he intended to let her off just like that either. "Stay here for a bit. You can go to bed later."Amelia sat back down on the couch and quietly awaited his ne
Liam had been quite harsh with his words.He didn't realize it when he was speaking, but he finally noticed when he saw Amelia's face pale. However, he had already spoken those words, so he couldn't take them back.He cleared his throat. "There's a banquet in two days. Come with me and learn."With that, Liam quickly went up the stairs.When Amelia came back to her senses, he was already gone from the living room.The word "banquet" echoed in her mind.She smiled bitterly and didn't think too much about this matter. She thought that Liam only mentioned it on a whim.Unexpectedly, two days later, she was met with Liam's dark expression when she came home from work.May had a cautious expression on her face as she whispered to Amelia, "Mr. Prescott came home early. He has been waiting for you for more than an hour."Amelia raised her eyebrows in surprise. She walked toward Liam, puzzled. "You were waiting for me?""Which man were you with this time? You forgot everything I to
When the traffic lights turned red, Liam looked at the side profile of the person next to him. He somehow felt his heart soften."You're attending as my female companion. If someone asks about you and you don't know what to say, just smile. If they insist, just push it onto me," Liam said.With that, Liam thought of a few potential scenarios that might happen at the banquet and felt a little annoyed. His voice took on a hint of impatience as well.Amelia had been looking at him and could clearly see the changes in his expression.She was a little nervous. She wondered if he had regretted bringing her along.Observing Amelia's silence, Liam looked at her. He felt a little upset when he saw the cautious and uneasy look on her face. He was simply telling her how to deal with any potential situations, but she was already getting nervous.He sighed. Amelia was completely different from that person, after all."Calm down. Don't think about the things you don't understand. I'm br
Liam was stunned for a moment. Then, he stood up and glanced toward the entrance. Amelia wasn't there."Liam, are you looking for her? She's there!" Hannah pointed to the corner where Amelia was at. Liam looked over and saw a man sitting beside Amelia and talking to her. He suddenly felt a surge of anger course through him. Amelia was supposed to be his female companion, yet she had the audacity to flirt with other men.What a bitch! "Liam, is your girlfriend someone from our circle too? Why haven't I seen her before? She seems pretty close to Jaden," Hannah said. Upon hearing that, Liam wound up even more. Amelia was nothing more than a country girl. How could she possibly have the chance to know Jaden Solace? Even her current job had nothing to do with the Solace family's business. It was simply impossible for them to get associated. "Isn't this their first time meeting? How did she get close to him so quickly?" Liam thought. While Amelia was trying to
Amelia paled, finally understanding what Jaden meant. Her eyes flitted to Liam in disbelief. She wondered if he would really send her away. Liam sensed her mistrust and a hint of anger flashed across his eyes. "Have you forgotten whose female companion you are?" Amelia bit her lip and stood to Liam's other side. She didn't dare to hold his hand, nor did she want to. She didn't miss it when she approached Liam and saw Hannah hold his hand. Liam clearly didn't refuse Hannah's touch. "Mr. Jaden, I'm not used to sharing my female companions with other people. Until I'm sick of her, she will always be my female companion." Liam's deep voice carried a warning tone. Upon hearing that, Jaden laughed and walked away. But even after the crowd had dispersed, Amelia still felt a little humiliated. Liam had admitted earlier that he didn't care about her; that was why he treated her coldly after bringing her to the banquet. "Liam, you haven't introduced her to us yet," H
