"Amelia, there's a limit to playing hard to get!" Liam looked at her angrily. "I know you were wronged, but I've also done my best to make it up to you. But you've gone too far!""Too far? What do you mean by that?" Amelia looked puzzled. "Putting aside what you did to make it up to me, what exactly did I do that made you think that I'm playing hard to get?""You!"Her serious attitude caused Liam to suspect that she truly wanted to break it off with him.She had suggested it a few times in the past, but he never agreed to it. So she no longer took the initiative to mention it. She was trying to provoke him so that he would say it himself!"Did you forget what I told you before? Do you really think that Eric is serious about you?" Liam asked."He has nothing to do with this matter between us." Amelia looked straight at him. Her gaze was cold and even a little impatient.Why did he always mention Eric?In the end, he still didn't believe her!"And he's not involved just becau

For a moment, the study was silent.Liam wasn't in a hurry to continue either. He gave her the time to slowly understand what was going on.A long while later, Amelia spoke with a bitter smile, "Even so, that doesn't prove anything."Liam chuckled. "He was lucky. He quickly dealt with it the night before I decided to do something about it."Amelia thought for a moment. It must have been the night of Ember's birthday.Astra's public relations department might have been weakened for some other reason. But Astra still helped to resolve her crisis.Also, Liam had put it like that, but how could she know if he was telling the truth?He also admitted that at the start, the Prescott Group did interfere in this matter."Astra quickly suppressed the scandals the last time," She spoke, still trying to defend Astra."I can give you the number of a magazine company. You can ask them who it was that bought their later drafts. You can also ask them who took down the headlines. Do you want

A few close friends were gathered in a private restaurant."Good thing you didn't bring that woman over. If not, the gathering today would be ruined again," Lily said.She leaned against the window and put on a charming smile. She didn't seem to notice the signals Lucas was giving her from the side.However, Lucas' worries came true and Brandon had gotten upset just as Lily finished speaking."I don't understand why you hold onto grudges so much, Lily! Yes, it was true that Hannie was part of the reason you broke up with Liam back then. But more importantly, you two just weren't a good match for each other. You can't vent all your dissatisfaction on Hannie!" Brandon said.Lily retorted, "Even if Liam and I were to break up because of compatibility issues, that's between me and him. What right does she have to butt in? She even brings it up in front of me from time to time. Isn't she showing off how important she is to Liam?" Lily raised an eyebrow as she looked at Brandon. She

Upon reading the text message and recalling Lily's words of warning, Liam felt a sudden urge to go home.He decided to act on this impulse."Let's gather again next time. I have something to attend to. I'll be heading back now," he informed the others.As he reached the door, he heard Lily's mocking laughter.He paused for a moment before turning to her. He said, "I've always believed that women can't stand on their own, but I've never looked down on you. Your restaurant business has been thriving, even without the help of friends like us."Lily was taken aback. This was the first time she had heard Liam praise someone, aside from Hannah and Leona."I'm going to find her now. After all, she's the person who would sacrifice her life for me. I can't let her spend Christmas alone." Liam suddenly smiled. However, he didn't give anyone any time to react as he swiftly left.After a brief silence in the room, Brandon was the first to snap out of it. He said, "Damn, he's going to

Just as Amelia went upstairs, Sarah emerged from the room.Upon seeing Amelia, she wore a pleasing smile and said, "I've already tidied up the room. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just let me know. It may not compare to the villa life you're used to, but it's the best we have to offer in our home. And if there's anything you're unhappy with, just tell us."Both David and Sarah had eager, pleasing smiles on their faces. This deepened Amelia's sense of bewilderment.As soon as she stepped into the room, the door was closed from the outside. Amelia's expression instantly changed. She then began to pound on the door.David called from outside, "Lia, you just had a tiring journey back. Rest for a while. We'll call you down for dinner later."After that, there was no sound from outside.Amelia continued to knock on the door, but there was still no response. She began to feel anxious.What on earth were they up to?There was a window in the room, but standing by
