Amelia pursed her lips, thinking, "What does he mean by that?""So are you going?" she asked."It's just a meal. What's so important about it? Do you want to go so badly?""Not really. If you don't want to go, I'll tell your dad."As expected, Liam didn't want to go.Amelia was about to hang up when she heard Liam say, "If you still want to make a fool of yourself, we can go.""A fool of yourself," Amelia repeated in her head. "Yes, I do that every time I go to Prescott Manor."She smiled self-deprecatingly. Even so, she had to go.The Prescott Manor compound was the same as always. Servants bustled about in preparation for the dinner tonight.Amelia had never eaten her fill when she came here for meals.The moment Amelia entered, Ember watched her belly like a hawk. From time to time, Ember would say hurtful words to Amelia."Still nothing?""That celebrity's belly is about to show!""If you don't want to be Mrs. Prescott, you should just tell me!"When Amelia heard Embe
When Amelia woke up, she found herself in a hospital.The environment in the VIP ward was great. She was the only one there. The room was quiet, and no one else was around.She sat up and shook her head, which felt heavy. She thought about what happened last night. She only remembered leaving Prescott Manor. She felt depressed when she thought about her circumstances.She remembered crying, but nothing came to mind after that. She didn't know why she was in the hospital."You're awake. Let's take your temperature again."A nurse came in. Amelia cooperated with the procedure. Then, she asked, "May I know who sent me here?""Your husband did. He watched over you for the whole night, and he left this morning."Smiling, the nurse continued, "Your husband looked quite anxious. You're lucky to have met a man who cares about you so much."Amelia smiled, thinking, "Caring? Hah. Couldn’t have been Liam.""101 degrees. Your fever has gone down quite a lot, but there’s still an inflammat
"Bang!" The fist landed just a finger's width away from her head.When Liam lifted his hand again, Amelia was stunned.Before the loud noise crashed next to her, she closed her eyes in fear. However, the pain she anticipated didn't come."Why can't you talk things out, Amelia? You're an adult now, but you keep trying to run away from home. Is that fun for you?"No one knew how worried he was when he saw that she was missing from the hospital.Last night, he saw her sobbing in a dark corner, crouched over like she could barely stand. Then, she fell to the ground silently.He rushed over to her. When he touched her, he could feel her burning body, even through her clothes.He sent her to the hospital. The doctor said that her body was weak, and she had inflammation. Her body burned at 103 degrees.If she had been sent to the hospital even a little later, her fever might have caused damage to her brain.She had a high fever, but she stayed in the hospital for only one night befor
That night, Amelia's fever receded. But, Liam still refused to let her be discharged. He stayed with her overnight in the hospital.On the third day, the fever was gone. Still, Amelia had to take the drips for that day.Seeing Liam's serious expression, Amelia felt a little defeated."Aren't you supposed to go to work instead of staying with me?" Didn't Ava need his company as well?Glancing at Amelia, Liam said coldly, "I can handle myself. You focus on getting better."Just then, Liam's phone rang. Amelia saw the name on the display.Ava was calling.Liam didn't answer it right away. Glancing at her, he took his phone and left the room."Why was Ava calling him?" Amelia wondered.She suddenly felt a bitter feeling in her heart.She had been silly. The conflict between them was serious, but he only had to treat her a little nicer for her to forget about the truth."Hello, is Liam here?"A knock sounded on the door. A woman in professional clothing stood at the entrance. Th
"When I come back, I'll explain to you what happened with Ava." When they arrived at Riverbay Residence, Liam got out of the car with Amelia. He caressed her hair again.He seemed to be fond of doing this recently.The look in Amelia's eyes flickered as she looked up at him."If she comes again, don't let her in. Just ask the security guards to get rid of her. I already told them about this,” he said before going back into the car.As Amelia watched Liam get into the car, she felt like she could hear her own heartbeat.When the car left, she saw a woman's face reflected in the rearview mirror. The woman seemed to be looking at her with a weird smile on her face.Thanks to the words Liam spoke before he left, Amelia began to hope.But at that moment, she didn't expect that another crisis would soon befall her.Liam hadn't come back to explain the matter between him and Ava, but Amelia already saw news of Ava on the internet.Ava's child was gone.For some reason, she had misca
Amelia forced herself to calm down. She couldn’t panic at a time like this. If she lost her nerve, it would be difficult for her to clear her name."You're too naïve, Ava. You never stood a chance of marrying into the Prescott family. Even if you did, now that the child is gone, you've just lost your betting chip. What chance do you have left?"Ava replied, "You're Mrs. Prescott, aren't you? If people hear of it, the Prescotts will be disgraced. Liam's official wife can’t give birth to a child, so she killed someone else's baby."Do you think the Prescotts would allow you to keep the title of Mrs. Prescott?"When the Prescotts called Ava, she could already feel the anger coming from them.Moreover, she knew that Ember never liked Amelia.Amelia had killed the grandchild they were looking forward to. They couldn't just stand by and do nothing.Ava had told the Prescotts that after the child was removed, the doctor said that the child was a boy.This child was supposed to be the
"So you're the one who harmed Ava's child?"As soon as Amelia returned to Riverbay Residence, Ember started her interrogation.Amelia didn't expect Ember to come so soon.Clasping her hands, she smiled. "Mom, why didn't you tell me that you're coming? I would've come back earlier for you.""I don't need you sticking around!" Ember never liked Amelia. Now that these heinous rumors were circulating, she was even less friendly to Amelia.She continued, "This is my son's place, so I can visit whenever I want to. Don't try to change the subject. Why didn't you answer my question just now?"Amelia smiled in exasperation. "Mom, have some tea and calm down. Ava's incident has nothing to do with me.""It's all over the internet, and also Ava told me it was true. But you still refuse to admit to it!" Ember's fury was burning.She continued, "You're evil! You can't have a child, but you won't allow another woman to have my grandchild! Why are you so selfish? I've had enough of you."Now
"Silly Billy, this is Karl Chambers. He's a manager from Astra."In the car, a stylish man winked as he greeted Amelia with a smile. "Hello, cutie."Blushing, Amelia said in a soft voice, "Hello, Mr. Chambers."Karl burst out laughing."Oscar, you went to school with this girl? She’s so cute."When Karl talked about her like that, Amelia felt even more embarrassed."Amelia is a sensitive girl. Don't make fun of her." Oscar glared at Karl. Then, he gave Amelia a gentle look. "Silly Billy, Karl is looking for an assistant. Do you want to give it a try?"Amelia looked at Oscar, stunned. She had often heard Karl's name ever since she joined Astra.He was the only manager in Astra who kept going up against Farah. Amelia also heard that Karl had snatched a lot of resources from Farah.There was something she couldn't understand. Oscar was assigned to Farah, so it didn't make sense that he was so familiar with Karl."I … don't think I can."Karl smiled. "I know that you worked with
