"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
Amelia didn't want to go to Prescott Manor. Thinking of Ember's disdain and disregard of her, Amelia felt very discomfited. Ember's behavior told her at all times that she and Liam were from different worlds and that she was reaching above her class by marrying Liam.When it was time to get off work, Liam still hadn't responded to her message. Even so, she knew that she couldn't escape this.Because she didn't want to head to Prescott Manor, Amelia dragged her feet as she cleared her things. Once she was out, Liam was already getting impatient waiting for her."Everyone else has already left, and you're the only one at the back of the herd. Did Farah get you to stay for overtime?"Amelia shook her head. Liam started the car and gave a cold laugh. "Don't look like you're so unwilling to come along. My mother doesn't want to see you either!""Then why do you want me to go?" she asked lowly. Even though she had spoken softly, Liam still heard her."Have you seen the latest news on
"Why did you bring her here?" Ember's smile immediately vanished upon seeing Amelia.Amelia's heart quivered as she looked over at Liam. She found him unaffected as he smiled and led Ember to sit on the couch. "No matter what, she's still my wife. We've been married for so long already, so it's natural to bring her here more often." Amelia felt dejected seeing Ember and Liam so close. She sat to one side and didn't manage to get a word in edgewise. Ember ignored her while Liam kept chatting with Ember. Neither of them gave her the time of day.There were three of them there, but Amelia felt completely alone.The two had a lively conversation, but that had nothing to do with her at all."What are you sitting there for? Since you're here, go help out in the kitchen!" Because Ember didn't like Amelia, she wasn't willing to look at her even if she was just sitting there without speaking.Getting up, Amelia walked toward the kitchen. "Madam Amelia, we don't need your help here. Ple
That night, Amelia and Liam stayed over at Prescott Manor. The lamp by the bed glowed with an orange light that filled the room with warmth and amorousness. Amelia didn't want to deal with Liam, so she got into bed very early. Just as she was half asleep, she sensed movement behind her.Liam got into bed. Seeing that his wife had her back facing him, amusement flashed in his eyes."How do you think I should deal with the matter of Ava?"Amelia's body went stiff. She shut her eyes and kept quiet, pretending to be asleep and not to have heard."Since there's no sign of you getting pregnant, my mother's worried about your health and wants me to take you for a check-up. If you really can't give birth, she wants you to raise Ava's child."Now, Amelia was even more scared to move. Ember had never liked her. If she was really infertile and couldn't give birth, she might be asked to divorce Liam.Liam didn't care if Amelia gave a reaction and kept talking. "My mother doesn't put
Liam always did what he said he would. In the next few days, all the renowned media outlets were reporting on Ava's exploits and how well Liam treated her.Ava had received sponsorships, participated in game shows, and accompanied Liam to events. With everything going on, people were saying that Ava's pregnancy had gotten her Liam's favor and doting. Seeing this news, Amelia had to shove down the pain she felt. Like her colleagues, she had to think about how to make the best of this news and get something out of it for the talents under Farah. "Since Ava's pregnant, I'm sure she won't be acting for much longer. We have to make use of this opportunity. As long as we can hitch on Ava's popularity, then our own talents will certainly get their chance too."Amelia felt a little discomfited when she heard Farah's words."Amelia, if you're not feeling well, maybe you should go home and rest for a few days?""No need, I'm fine!" Amelia quickly shook her head. She couldn't neglect he
What a clichéd manner of flirting, and Amelia had been the one to flirt with him. The man Amelia had bumped into smiled. He raised his hand and flicked his finger against Amelia's forehead. "Yes, we've met. Do you remember now?"Amelia looked at him in confusion as she took a step backward.The man reached his hand out again. "If not, I'm going to flick you again!"Blinking, Amelia covered her forehead with both hands. Her face was filled with happy surprise as she said, "You're my upperclassman! Shawn Jackson!"The man laughed but still reached out toward her head. Amelia quickly covered her entire face. Then, she heard him laugh as a hand caressed her head, messing up her hair. Just as she was about to beg for mercy, the hand started smoothing her hair back out."Silly Billy, my name is Oscar Jackson now—not Shawn Jackson. You'd better remember this."Amelia felt a bit bad. She had called his name wrong and caused everyone to tease him with a nickname spun from the mistake.
"Enough!" said Liam coldly. "You're the one carrying the baby. No one will stop you if you want to have an abortion.""Liam!" Ava looked at him in disbelief, never having expected that he would say such a thing. "You know who this child belongs to. Don't you remember? This child … exists because of what happened that night!" Ava explained tearfully. "You're my only man, and I have no one else!""Enough. Get out!"Liam massaged his temples. Before, he'd thought that Ava wasn't obedient enough. Now, it seemed that she wanted more than she could chew. She wanted so much that it surpassed what he had even expected.Ava wanted to say something more but didn't dare to when she saw Liam's expression. Though unhappy, she left.The second the door closed behind her, her eyes shone with a calculative light.Although Amelia didn't contact Liam often, she was always in Liam's heart. His interest in her had never waned, which gave Ava a strong sense of danger.It hadn't been easy for her to
