Chapter 11 She Isn’t Worthy Enough
Amelia took a deep breath and said, "No, thanks. I wouldn't dare to bother Mr. Prescott."Her hands balled into fists as she tried to remain cool-headed.Liam had been all lovey-dovey with Ava this afternoon. Yet, now, he had David force her to go back. She'd never forget this. She had always thought of Liam as arrogant, even though he was quite the playboy. Since she refused to take his car home, he should have gotten mad at her and asked Gio to drive away.However, he surprised her by tailing her as she walked. About half a mile later, Amelia stopped walking, worn out. A familiar, raspy voice sounded from the car."There's an accident up ahead. You won't see any taxis around here." Amelia froze when she heard his voice. She then turned to look at the person in the car. Liam was in the driver's seat now, and Gio was nowhere to be seen. She stared at him for a moment, contemplating this. Then, she opened the car door and got into the car. She wasn't going to return to the

Chapter 12 They Want Your Money
Amelia shuddered involuntarily. She seemed just like a frightened child who had done something wrong and was afraid of being held accountable. Liam had tailed her, and now, he even caught her staring at an advertisement of him. She couldn't muster the courage to turn to look at him. A breeze blew past her, making her tremble slightly. She wasn't sure if it was because of the cold or if she was simply too panicky. Just then, Liam's breath fanned her ear, instantly making her feel as though her entire body was on fire. She sprang away a couple of steps away from him and yelped. "What's there to look at? It's not nice at all!"Didn't he leave long ago? Why did he come back now? Her exaggerated reaction made him laugh."If only you could see just how guilty you look right now."  "No, I'm not! You aren't that good-looking anyway!" Amelia tried to defend herself.It was as though he managed to read her mind, and she was annoyed and embarrassed because of it. Liam stared at he

Chapter 13 An Unpopular Idol
Worried about her grandparents' well-being, Amelia decided it was best to transfer the remaining amount in her debit card to David. After doing just that, she sent him a message. "I don't want to go back there. I'll pay you for my grandparents' living expenses. —Amelia"David stopped calling her after that. He replied to her message. "Why is it so little? Ask Liam for more money! —David"Amelia felt rather helpless after reading his message. Her thoughts were jumbled up enough after meeting Liam today.He didn't ask her to go back to the villa. Even when they talked, they didn't seem to converse like husband and wife. It seemed to her that he couldn't care less where she went to or lived after leaving the villa.A lone tear escaped her eye when she thought of this, and she hastily wiped it off her face. It wasn't worth it, crying for someone who wasn't concerned about her. Ever since marrying Liam, Amelia became a full-time housewife. Now that things had changed, she had to

Chapter 14 Just Right
"Are you done?"Amelia hastily buttoned up her shirt, awkwardness written all over her face. Stealing a glance at Liam who stood by the door, she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and stick her head into it. Ava didn't anticipate this, but she felt way better after getting to humiliate Amelia."Aren't you the sexy one here, wearing clothes like this to seduce men anytime? I accidentally touched you, yet your shirt slipped off just like this. Who are you trying to seduce?" Exasperated, Amelia turned to her and snapped, "I advise you not to be pessimistic just because you're the kind of person you described. You're just going to show others your true colors." With that said, Amelia turned to leave, but she could still sense Liam's gaze on her.Her heart fluttered in her chest. Her feelings were a jumbled mess. Right now, all she wanted was to avoid creating more conflict with Ava. "You! Stop right there!" Ava called out in a panic.Amelia had roa

Chapter 15 I Won't Be Fooled   
After work, Amelia left the advertising studio. Alex came over right after Amelia returned home."Amelia, I heard the female celebrity called Ava got beaten up. I saw a video online of the person who beat her up. It looked a lot like you. Was it you?"  Amelia nodded."I didn't think of beating her up at first. She was the one who provoked me."  "Well, you should have beaten her up anyway!" Alex scorned. "She's just a mistress that breaks up the relationships of others. By how she flaunts, does she think she's Liam's wife?" Alex wanted to say more. However, she asked about Amelia's work after seeing Amelia's disinterest. Amelia then told her about everything that happened in the advertising shoot today."No way. Is that jerk interested in you?"  Alex was terrified."Amelia, you must never move back. Play with him and keep him hanging. He'll naturally beg you to move back once he falls in love with you. By then, you can reject him. I would love to see how hilarious his expre

Chapter 16 Getting Into Trouble
The hooligans did not actually adore Ava that much. However, they couldn't stand being contradicted. Their gaze became hostile. Alex was not afraid and turned around."Didn't you hear what I said? I'm saying this because I think Ava has a poor character. It's not like we can't discuss it, right?"  Before they could answer, Alex added, "Or, could it be that you like flaunty women like her?"  "What the fuck? I dare you to repeat that!"One of the hooligans was infuriated and pointed at Alex. The atmosphere turned hostile. It seemed that the few men were about to make a move. "Alex, forget it. Let's go!"Amelia was a bit scared and tugged on Alex's hand. However, the hooligans blocked their paths. "It's not that easy to leave!"Amelia clenched her fists and looked at the men."What do you want?""Apologize to my friend. Also, I realize you're quite a beauty. Why don't you join us for a cup of coffee?"The man in the middle had a creepy smile. His other friends also laughed

Chapter 17 What Nonsense Are You Saying
Instead of the expected humiliation, Amelia heard cries of pain. Amelia slowly opened her eyes and saw the hooligans squeezed together on the ground."Fuck off," the man standing in front of Amelia said indifferently. The few hooligans were so afraid that they quickly ran off. It was Liam. Amelia could tell it was him just by looking at his back.She didn't expect the man she thought of when she was in danger to appear before her. Plus, he even saved her!"Liam, you're amazing!"Just when Amelia hesitated whether to thank him, a sweet voice sounded. Ava ran over and linked her arm affectionately with Liam. Her expression was filled with admiration for the latter.Liam didn't answer Ava. Instead, he looked toward Amelia. He instinctively wanted to see Amelia's reaction. However, Amelia was not mad or upset. She merely glanced at them before going over to Alex."Alex, are you okay?""I'm fine. I'm not injured either, but …"Alex couldn't help but look toward Liam. Judging by he
