Over the next few days, Amelia busied herself with preparing for her departure. She invited Oscar for a small meet-up at Interfleur."Congratulations, you are free." Oscar gave Amelia a box with a smile. "Here's a present to celebrate your freedom."Amelia smirked and opened the box. It contained a watch and a business card. "This is …" The name Tolkin was on the card. He was a screenwriter too. Could he be the Tolkin Amelia knew?"You love writing script, and you're in the industry yourself. You must know who he is. Tolkin is a critically acclaimed screenwriter. He's produced several award-winning movies."Amelia nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, he's my idol. His works are so profound and poignant. Many film producers want to buy his scripts. All his films are very successful. His arthouse films can generate as much revenue as a blockbuster!"Amelia's giddiness told Oscar that he had picked the right present. "I have received the remuneration from Miracle, which I used to purchas
Three years later.In the Prescott Group's office, almost everyone was busy with their work. However, a few people were gathered in the corner gossiping softly about Liam. "I heard Mr. Prescott and Mrs. Prescott divorced a long time ago. I wonder if it's true." "That can't be possible. Mr. Prescott and Mrs. Prescott had such a good relationship." "Why not? Before Mrs. Prescott, Mr. Prescott had many scandals. In the past three years, Mrs. Prescott has never been to the company, and there's no sign of her online. But Mr. Prescott has been caught on dates with another woman several times." "Mind your words. She's the heiress of the Lancaster family and the Prescott family. Maybe they've already planned to get married. Show some respect when you see her." As they were speaking, the sound of high heels pierced the air. They discreetly looked over, only to discover the subject of their gossip. Leona, who was wearing sunglasses, had her hand on the arm of a bodyguard.
After work, Liam sat in his office for a while before driving to Prescott Manor. Looking at Ember's photo, he subconsciously clenched his fist."The past is in the past. You should let it go. Forget those unhappy memories and live a good life. I've seen her behave these three years and sincerely want to live with you," James said, patting Liam on the shoulder.Liam didn't turn around as he replied indifferently, "I can't let it go, and I don't believe she's innocent.""But you've been investigating her for so long, and there's still no evidence that she harmed Luke, right? Moreover, all the clues point to Luke killing her. Since she's willing to move on, why don't you? You've always treated her badly," James said. As he recalled the past, he sighed. "Be careful. She might reach a breaking point and do something extreme, rendering all your efforts wasted. We were wrong from the get-go. Luke is gone, and there's no need to make such significant sacrifices for his sake.""No! It's n
There was a murmur of excitement in the crowd as nobody expected Liam to ask such a question. The rumors might not be fake after all!Monica was a bit flustered. She hastily laughed and explained, "Liam, perhaps you've been working too hard lately and got a bit confused. My daughter's father is, of course—"Before she could finish, Liam handed over a document. After glancing at it, Monica's face shifted. She attempted to snatch it from him, but Liam pulled it back."Mrs. Jackson, you didn't finish your sentence," Liam reminded her. Hearing this, Monica bit her lip and awkwardly continued, "Yes, I made a mistake. My daughter is not Mr. Prescott's wife. She ..."Although Benjamin also saw the document Liam handed her, he only saw the words "paternity test" on the top. He couldn't read its contents. Realizing there was a problem when Monica contradicted herself in front of everyone, Benjamin quickly pulled Monica aside. Refuting it now would only add more embarrassment to the si
"Leona, it's been three years. How come there's still no news about your pregnancy?" Questions poured in the minute Leona returned to the Lancaster family and exchanged a few words with her parents. Charles's gaze lingered on her stomach for quite a while. Although Charles's comment was just a casual remark, Leona was embarrassed.Liam had not touched her, so how could she be expecting a child? However, she couldn't say it, especially in front of Hannah. If she did, she might have to face Hannah's mockery.Karen glanced at Leona and wondered. She then turned to Charles. "Young people have their own beliefs these days. Don't rush them." Karen then looked at Leona and asked, "Are you getting along well with Liam? How are the Prescotts treating you?" Knowing that Karen was trying to protect her, Leona felt relieved. She put on a composed and gentle smile, saying, "Mr. Prescott senior treats me well and has always supported me. It's just, as Dad mentioned, I still haven't conceive
In fact, Monica didn't want to come back. Three years ago, Peter forced her to sever ties with him, and she had taken the opportunity to avoid financially supporting him and being subject to gossip. However, Benjamin's recent anger over Amelia's background made her uneasy. To restore her image in Benjamin's eyes, she returned and played the role of a dutiful daughter. Perhaps Peter didn't make things difficult for Monica due to his old age, but he didn't give her a warm reception either. Seeing that Peter had no objections, Monica became even more unrestrained. She walked over with Hannah, who looked quite displeased. "Dad, this is Hannah. The one I raised since she was little. Hannah, quickly call him Grandpa." At the entrance, Amelia, who had planned to go upstairs with a suitcase, halted upon hearing this. She glanced at Monica and wondered why Monica brought Hannah to Peter's 80th birthday celebration. Furthermore, she even insisted on making an unwilling Hannah cal
Lost in her thoughts, Amelia didn't notice the person before her. All she heard was a soft thud, like a car door closing."Ms. Jenson! Do you need some help?"Amelia snapped back to reality when she heard someone call out to her. She lifted her head to look at the person speaking to her. Seeing him, Amelia was surprised. Wasn't he just leaving?Glancing to his side, she noticed the person sitting in the car—Liam.Before she returned to Terracrest, Amelia knew she would see him again. After all, Sableton was a little small. If she was going to live there, she was bound to run into him.But despite all her preparation, she hadn't expected to meet him so soon. It was only her first day back."Ms. Jenson?" Gio called out to her again. Amelia smiled at him. "Thank you, but I'm fine."Gio still seemed worried. "But you looked troubled earlier, walking with your head down. I called out to you multiple times, but you didn't reply. You almost bumped into Mr. Prescott, too."Instinctiv
"Amelia, you're finally back. Mommy missed you so much.""Oh?" Amelia chuckled. "Are you sure you're my mom?"Monica's expression faltered. She pursed her lips, looked at Peter, and then laughed. "What are you talking about? If I'm not your mom, then who is?""I'd like to know that too," Amelia said, shifting her gaze to Hannah.On closer inspection, there was indeed a resemblance between Hannah and Monica. It's just that Amelia hadn't thought about it before, so she never noticed it.Amelia noticed when Monica exchanged glances with Peter a moment ago. She knew what Monica was implying, but she didn't want to give in to Monica's wishes.When she thought about it, Monica knew they weren't related biologically. However, she always insisted on being a mother to Amelia. She even tried to force her to do things she didn't want.Peter was unaware of the hidden dynamic between the two and believed that Amelia hadn't forgiven Monica yet. He decided to let it go and looked at Monica. "Y
