After Amelia's warning, David no longer shouted his status about. However, whenever he was in front of a crowd, he'd still display an air of superiority. He would boast about how much money he would occasionally receive from Liam, even taking out a small check Liam had signed to show everyone.He didn't dare to show anyone a large check because he was worried that someone would steal it from him.David's actions left some of the patients feeling doubtful, but they did show him a little more respect than before. It made David feel pleased.After Amelia spent two whole days taking care of David at the hospital, she resumed her job search. Unfortunately, she hit a dead end.She sat in the shade under the scorching sun. Staring at her resume, she felt powerless.She hadn't graduated from college, after all. After getting back from college, she hadn't worked. She was at a disadvantage in the job hunting market since she didn't have a degree and had spent several years unemployed. S
Sarah's furious voice made Amelia feel taken aback.How could Liam have gotten David beaten up? How was that possible?"Sarah, I know what you're trying to do. All you want is to extort more money out of me, but you shouldn't throw accusations around!" Amelia exclaimed. She couldn't believe it. Someone as arrogant as Liam wouldn't stoop so low as to order people to beat her uncle up.Sarah yelled angrily through the phone, "How dare you say that I'm extorting money from you! Amelia Jenson, you're so ungrateful! Liam's never cared about you, yet you're still so eager to speak up for him. He's sleeping with other women, for god's sake. It doesn't matter how much you care about him! He doesn't give a damn about you!"Even though Sarah was only telling her the truth, her bluntness made Amelia feel hurt and angry."Can you stop bringing that up all the time?""Why should I? It's not like I'm wrong! Your husband got someone to beat up your uncle, yet you don't even have the basic decen
This was the first time Liam had visited the place Amelia rented.Liam frowned as he looked around. The space wasn't very large ,and the furniture on the property looked slightly worn. Compared to the interior in Riverbay Residence, this place was a dump."How do you even live in this place?"Amelia cast him an odd look but answered his question anyway, "My place at Bryxton's even worse."She had grown up there, after all.Liam raised an eyebrow but didn't comment further. "I heard that someone attacked your uncle."When he heard the news, he thought that Amelia would come running to him about it. She didn't have much money, after all. With Amelia around, Liam was certain that David wouldn't pay for anything he didn't have to.His guess was partially right, but after two days of waiting around, Amelia still hadn't contacted him. Liam couldn't wait around anymore and decided to seek her out himself."How'd you know about that?" Amelia asked warily as she recalled what her uncle
Amelia hung her head low, keeping silent. She knew that she had angered Liam."Why'd you get so quiet all of a sudden? You were running your mouth earlier, weren't you?" Amelia had talked so much and even said that she knew about what had really happened, but what the fuck did she know?Startled by his raised voice, Amelia began to tremble. She had always been afraid of him. Now that Liam was angry, she was even more fearful of the man.However, her flinching only fueled Liam's anger.Grabbing her hand forcefully, he yelled, "Why are you shaking? Did I hit you or curse at you? Why are you so scared? How are you so timid and weak? You're unworthy of being a Prescott!"The person in his memories was never this timid. She was always elegant and dignified, earning everyone's respect.Amelia's heart clenched as she recalled what Ember had said.She suddenly felt aggrieved and smacked his hand away swiftly. "That's right. I'm cowardly and weak. I'm not worthy of being your wife! That'
David didn't end up getting transferred to a VIP ward because Amelia hadn't arranged it for him. David didn't want to spend the money he had on it either.He still had some reservations as to how his money could be spent. Amelia still sent David and Sarah meals every day. While there, she pretended not to hear all the sardonic remarks they made."If you're so sure that he's behind everything, why not just report it to the police?"Although Amelia's last conversation with Liam had ended on bad terms, she took some time to reflect on David's situation after. She figured that Liam probably wasn't behind the beating. Liam was a dignified man, after all. He wouldn't push away responsibilities like that.Even though she believed Liam wasn't behind the beating, the same couldn't be said for David and Sarah. She had no way of convincing them otherwise."What's with your attitude? I told you to think up more ways to get more money out of him, didn't I? Have you been listening to a word I s
"Amelia Jenson, you'd better stop right there!"Ava was infuriated by Amelia's words. She stopped Amelia in her tracks and panted angrily as she quickly caught up to Amelia. "You're clearly just jealous of me! You think he doesn't love me just because you can't get him hard like I can!"Amelia didn't want to engage with her any longer. When she found out that Ava had driven here in Liam's car, she had already started to feel overwhelmed. She didn't want to dwell on the finer details. If she did, her strained relationship with Liam would only be highlighted."I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't care what you think."Pushing past Ava, Amelia rushed into her place.Ava tightened her grip on the pair of sunglasses in her hand as she watched Amelia's retreating figure. She said with a sneer, "I'll make sure you understand just how dire the consequences are for crossing me. Liam Prescott can only be mine!"Amelia sat at home in a daze. When she heard a loud beep from her
Soon after Amelia woke up, she received a call from Farah."Amelia, do dress up today. I'll need you to come to a dinner party with me after work.""Will do, Farah." Amelia felt appreciated when she heard that she had been invited to a dinner party with Farah. She worked even harder at her job.On her way to Astra, Amelia saw Ava's new advertisement on a billboard. The bracelet on her wrist stood out a lot.Since they ended their conversation on bad terms the last time, Amelia hadn't seen Liam.She would think of him occasionally, but she knew that the man probably hadn't thought about her at all.Liam had another woman in his life now, after all.Since this was Amelia's first work-related dinner party, she felt a little anxious. Before everyone arrived, Farah reassured her in a low voice and a smile, "The CEOs are very friendly people. You don't need to be afraid of them. I've got you covered."Amelia smiled gratefully at her."The man who'll sit next to you later is a CEO we
"I'm sure that's not the case. Ms. Jenson has only just started working in the entertainment industry, after all. It's her first time meeting so many big shots all at once. She's probably just feeling a little more nervous than usual," Farah said with a sweet smile as she motioned toward Amelia."Amelia, why don't you have a drink with Mr. Prescott?" she said.All eyes were on Amelia at that moment. It made her feel uncomfortable, especially when Liam focused his gaze on her from the seat beside her.Farah handed her a glass and added, "Mr. Prescott's well-renowned in the business industry. Many would sell their soul to share a table with him. This is a very rare opportunity for all of us."Farah tightened her grip on Amelia's hand as a subtle warning.Amelia snapped back to her senses immediately. She raised her glass and said to Liam, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Prescott. Let's have a toast."Smiling faintly at her, Liam said, "Nice to meet you too."He clinked his glass against he
