It took Amelia a lot of effort to finally get Liam into his room. However, the man still held onto her hand, seemingly unwilling to let go.May was pleased to see her. "Madam Amelia, Mr. Prescott's been muttering about you this entire time. I know he doesn't say things like that out loud, but I know he must've missed you. Otherwise, why would he refuse to let go of your hand even while asleep?"Amelia felt a little embarrassed. She eyed the man lying on the bed, feeling her heart swell with a mix of emotions."Madam Amelia, you must be exhausted too. Why don't you stay here a little longer? That way, Mr. Prescott won't get upset if he doesn't see you when he wakes up later. I'll make him some tea so he can sober up. You can get him to drink it when he wakes up. He might get a headache otherwise."Amelia nodded. "Thank you. Sorry for the trouble.""Don't mention it. It's my job, after all."After May left, Amelia observed Liam more boldly. They had been married for three years and
Amelia stared at Liam, who was sleeping peacefully in bed. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions.Although she had only started working, she wasn't a clueless woman.The dinner party tonight had made her uncomfortable. She especially disliked the lecherous gaze Vincent kept shooting at her. She couldn't help but wonder what would've happened if Liam hadn't been around. Would Vincent have made a move on her?Her phone rang suddenly. She snapped out of her thoughts and answered it quickly."Hi, Farah. Did you get home okay?"On the other end of the phone, Farah was leaning against a warm chest. She slid her fingers along the broad chest as she replied, "Yeah, I'm staying at a hotel right now. Have you sent Mr. Prescott home yet?"Amelia glanced at the man on the bed. "Yes, I have. He looks like he's deep in sleep right now."Farah smirked when she heard that. Judging by the way Amelia talked about Liam's current state, it was clear that she was still at his place."That's grea
Just when Amelia accepted the fact that Liam was about to strangle her to death, his grip suddenly loosened."I didn't even tighten my grip that much. Why are you acting like you're on the verge of death? Do you honestly think I'd take another human being's life just because I wanted to?"He glared at her coldly. This was exactly what happened with David. Amelia hadn't bothered to seek the truth and unfairly blamed him for things.Amelia started to gasp for air. All she felt for Liam at this moment was fear. She pushed him with all her strength and surprised herself when she succeeded. Liam had temporarily lowered his guard for a short moment.His face darkened instantly. When Amelia moved to leave, he pinned her under him again."If you want to sleep with a man so badly, I'll do it to satisfy your needs. But I'm warning you, don't even think about cheating on me by sleeping with other men. Otherwise, I'll make sure you regret it!"When Liam let his guard down just now, Amelia tr
By the time Amelia arrived home, it was already about 1:00 am. She was lying on the bed after coming out of the bathroom, but she couldn't fall asleep.In the quiet of the night, her senses became sharper. Recalling how Liam had lain over her, her fear and nervousness in that moment, and the way he breathed down her neck, her heart became a mess. She didn't understand how Liam could think that way, that she was looking for another man. Didn't Liam know that he was the only man she had?No, that wasn't right. She didn't even have him!With all these thoughts swirling in her mind, Amelia fell dazedly asleep.When she went to the company the next day, many people looked at her with strange smiles. Amelia didn't quite understand why, so she asked Farah about it. But Farah only smiled and said, "Ignore them and just do your job. By the way, how did it go last night with Mr. Prescott?"Last night …Amelia smiled. "It was okay!"Instinctively, Amelia didn't want anyone else to know
Although Amelia had gotten suspicious long before this, the news still hit her hard now that there was actual proof."Amelia, don't feel bad. They're just talking about it online. Ava and Mr. Prescott haven't said anything yet. It might not be true. You still have a chance.""That's right. We all know from last night that Mr. Prescott likes you. If you work hard, you might be able to beat Ava!""Look at how weak and fragile she is. Ava is a scheming woman …"With so many people piping in, Amelia's heart became a mess."Why aren't you all getting off work? Are you planning to stay for overtime?" Farah walked over wearing a severe expression. With that, everyone went off.Seeing how dazed Amelia was, Farah frowned. "Amelia, it's just some gossip. Are you admitting defeat already?"Admitting defeat? Amelia looked at Farah in confusion."Even if she has Liam's help, Ava can only be considered a B-list celebrity at most now. The Prescott family won't respect such a celebrity. So, ev
After a long time, Amelia's emotions finally settled.Actually, Farah didn't need to worry about her. She definitely wouldn't ask Liam about whether Ava was pregnant. That matter had nothing to do with her.After all, Liam had never liked her. He liked Ava.Now that Ava was pregnant, Liam was probably overjoyed!As for what Farah said about Liam not liking Ava, Amelia didn't believe it at all. Farah just didn't know that Amelia had already taken up the position of Liam's wife, which was the only reason why Liam hadn't married Ava.During these three years, there had been countless women rumored to be with Liam. But Liam had only taken Ava back to Riverbay Residence, so it was clear to see that Ava was different.Amelia thought that she could ignore this, but when she closed her eyes, all that filled her mind was the gossip online.Her chest hurt.Right then, her phone rang, causing her heart to skip a beat. Was Liam calling to explain things to her?When she saw the caller ID,
"What are you so worried about? We weren't the ones who did it. Do you think I'd leave trails to expose myself when it comes to this?" Ava cut off her manager, her gaze displeased.Her manager had been with her ever since she started out in the entertainment industry. She had indeed been very helpful to Ava at the beginning of her career. But now, Ava thought that keeping the woman with her wasn't going to be very helpful.…At the same time, in the CEO's office at Prescott Group, those same rumors were also being discussed."Mr. Prescott, I found that the news started from a small news agency." Seeing Liam's dark expression, Gio didn't dare to indulge his nosiness. He quickly recounted what he'd found out."I've already contacted the news agency and talked them into telling me the truth. This matter indeed has something to do with Ms. Summers."Liam's expression turned darker. "She's getting more scheming!"But it was because of Liam that Ava had the guts to do so!Though Gio
The next day, the news about Ava's pregnancy was still trending and very popular. It was just that the gossip about Liam's relationship with Ava had become much less popular.Thus, there began to be other sentiments in the comments online."If Ava's really pregnant with Liam Prescott's baby, then why hasn't Prescott Group said anything? If they admit to it now, Ava will be on the rise.""It's obvious that someone is pulling the strings to have the rumors about them suppressed right now. It seems there's someone who doesn't acknowledge the baby in Ava's belly!"After finding out about the news, Amelia had warned herself not to think too much about it. But she still couldn't help but do so. Reading the comments online, she didn't know what to think.There was no doubt that Liam and Ava were in a relationship. She just didn't know if Ava's baby was Liam's.But after some thought, it had to be Liam's!If it wasn't his, then Liam wouldn't accept being framed. Amelia's heart ached o
