David didn't end up getting transferred to a VIP ward because Amelia hadn't arranged it for him. David didn't want to spend the money he had on it either.He still had some reservations as to how his money could be spent. Amelia still sent David and Sarah meals every day. While there, she pretended not to hear all the sardonic remarks they made."If you're so sure that he's behind everything, why not just report it to the police?"Although Amelia's last conversation with Liam had ended on bad terms, she took some time to reflect on David's situation after. She figured that Liam probably wasn't behind the beating. Liam was a dignified man, after all. He wouldn't push away responsibilities like that.Even though she believed Liam wasn't behind the beating, the same couldn't be said for David and Sarah. She had no way of convincing them otherwise."What's with your attitude? I told you to think up more ways to get more money out of him, didn't I? Have you been listening to a word I s

Soon after Amelia woke up, she received a call from Farah."Amelia, do dress up today. I'll need you to come to a dinner party with me after work.""Will do, Farah." Amelia felt appreciated when she heard that she had been invited to a dinner party with Farah. She worked even harder at her job.On her way to Astra, Amelia saw Ava's new advertisement on a billboard. The bracelet on her wrist stood out a lot.Since they ended their conversation on bad terms the last time, Amelia hadn't seen Liam.She would think of him occasionally, but she knew that the man probably hadn't thought about her at all.Liam had another woman in his life now, after all.Since this was Amelia's first work-related dinner party, she felt a little anxious. Before everyone arrived, Farah reassured her in a low voice and a smile, "The CEOs are very friendly people. You don't need to be afraid of them. I've got you covered."Amelia smiled gratefully at her."The man who'll sit next to you later is a CEO we

"Here's to more opportunities to collaborate in the future," Farah said. She retracted her gaze and smiled graciously. Raising his glass with a smile, Liam drank with her politely.Once he placed the glass back on the table, Amelia immediately filled it with wine. When Liam reached for the glass, their hands brushed against each other. It made her retract her hand quickly as her cheeks blushed."Let's drop the formalities. I came barging in unannounced, after all. If my presence has ruined everyone's enjoyment, I'd like to apologize. I'll down three more glasses as punishment!" Liam exclaimed before proceeding to drink three more glasses of wine.Everyone at the table insisted humbly, saying, "Sitting at the same table as you is an honor, Mr. Prescott. Please enjoy yourself as much as you can."After that was said, everyone at the table continued to chat happily while drinking. Amelia noticed that Farah had quite a bit to drink already.When she noticed how red her boss' face ha

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

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
