Chapter 31 She's My Wife

"Stop!"Just as David raised his hand and was about to strike Amelia, someone called out to intervene. The voice was deep and powerful. Once David heard it, he lowered his hand casually and planted a smile on his face."Liam, you're back! Lia and I were just joking around. She's my niece, after all. How could I have the heart to hit her? I love her to bits!"Amelia scoffed at that.David shot her a stern look before trying to suck up to Liam. "It's pretty early, isn't it? You just came back from a long night, didn't you? Men like us should enjoy ourselves just like you. There are plenty of women out there to go around, am I right?"Liam couldn't help but frown when he heard that. He glanced at Amelia, who appeared utterly shocked by her uncle's words. She hadn't expected David to say such vile things, especially in her presence."Uncle David!""What? We are having our usual banter. Shut up," David scolded indifferently."Chatting with him is fine, but don't even think about ask

Chapter 32 I'm Not Getting Divorced

"Liam, you can't say that. Blood is thicker than water, don't you know? If you didn't want me to be part of your family, why'd you marry our dear Lia in the first place?""Are you hoping that I'll divorce her?" Liam narrowed his eyes at David as he dealt him a threatening look. "Y-You've been married for three years already!" David exclaimed, starting to get a little scared. If Liam and Amelia were to get divorced, he would lose his only source of income."What does that matter?"After Liam said that, David's face instantly paled along with Amelia's.Amelia suddenly recalled Ava's words from last night. Who knew that Liam would suddenly bring up divorce the next day?She stared at the man next to her, feeling extremely out of sorts. They had shared a bed just last night. Liam had even suggested that they should have a baby together. She had dismissed it as a passing joke, but when she heard him casually mention getting divorced now, it sent a chill down her spine."Y-You're a w

Chapter 33 I'm Liam's Uncle

Silence filled the room. Amelia looked up nervously only to be met with Liam's icy expression.He stared coldly at her. There was a glimmer of some sort of emotion in his eyes, but Amelia couldn't decipher what it was.A while later, he sneered. As Amelia stared at him with a puzzled gaze, the man barked out, "Well, fuck off, then!"Her body trembled slightly, feeling fear well up in her heart at his tone.Liam suddenly kicked over the coffee table as he watched her flee. The loud noise frightened May, who was in the kitchen.Since all the residents of Riverbay Residence were wealthy people with their own cars, there was no public transport here. Amelia had to run for a long while before finally reaching the nearest bus stop.She continued to catch her breath with her hands on her knees.She forced herself to tune out everything Liam had said and went back to her place in a daze. She fell asleep promptly after collapsing on her bed.When she woke up, it was already dark outside

Chapter 34 Don’t Expect Any Money From Me

When Amelia saw the familiar figure, she couldn't help but feel puzzled. She wondered what Ava was doing here.Come to think of it, she hadn't seen Ava for a long while. There were still news articles about her online lately, but they were few and far between compared to when she used to hang around Liam all the time. Most of the news about Ava was old.Amelia's phone rang. She checked it and saw Sarah's name on the screen.Sarah was David's wife. Her aunt had never called her before this, so Amelia figured that it definitely had something to do with David.Sure enough, Sarah asked about David as soon as she answered the call."Hello, Lia. I heard that your uncle got beaten up. How serious is it? Is he in critical condition?" Sarah asked.Amelia tightened the grip on her phone. "Well, the doctor has already examined him. He took a heavy blow to the head, but his X-ray showed no signs of additional trauma. He's sustained some superficial injuries, and his foot's in a cast. He shou

Chapter 35 The Father of My Future Kid

When Amelia returned to David's ward, she felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. She glanced at David, who was watching TV silently. The man didn't speak, and Amelia didn't bother asking him anything either."I'm going to head back home to cook. I'll visit you around noon. You should get some rest. Don't watch too much TV."David merely grunted, not saying anything else. Amelia shrugged and left the ward right away.At the hospital's entrance, she caught sight of Ava, who she had encountered in the OB/GYN department. Unfortunately for Amelia, Ava saw her as well.Amelia had intended to leave right away, but Ava ended up approaching her."Ms. Jenson, what a coincidence! I didn't think I'd run into you at the hospital."Ava had an odd smile on her face. Her perfume made Amelia wrinkle her nose and take a few steps back."Ms. Summers, what are you doing here?"Ava didn't seem to realize that Amelia had tried to move away. Moving closer, she said provocatively in her ear, "

Chapter 36 Liam Prescott's Wife

It had been a while since David asked Amelia for money. She figured it was probably due to his injuries and the fact that he couldn't go out to gamble since he was in the hospital. That, or perhaps it was because he still had a lot of money on him. Even so, he continued to boss Amelia around whenever she visited him at the hospital."Get me some water."Peel me an apple."Buy me a pack of cigarettes! I want the expensive ones!"After running errands for David a couple of times, the other patients in the ward started to pay more attention to Amelia. Amelia assumed that they looked at her more because she had been around a lot, so she didn't pay them much attention.It wasn't until she returned with some hot water for David one time and overheard David's conversation with the other patients that she found out why the atmosphere in the ward always felt off. She finally realized why everyone kept staring at her."Dude, is your niece really Liam Prescott's wife? I didn't even know t

Chapter 37 Liam Got Your Uncle Beaten Up

After Amelia's warning, David no longer shouted his status about. However, whenever he was in front of a crowd, he'd still display an air of superiority. He would boast about how much money he would occasionally receive from Liam, even taking out a small check Liam had signed to show everyone.He didn't dare to show anyone a large check because he was worried that someone would steal it from him.David's actions left some of the patients feeling doubtful, but they did show him a little more respect than before. It made David feel pleased.After Amelia spent two whole days taking care of David at the hospital, she resumed her job search. Unfortunately, she hit a dead end.She sat in the shade under the scorching sun. Staring at her resume, she felt powerless.She hadn't graduated from college, after all. After getting back from college, she hadn't worked. She was at a disadvantage in the job hunting market since she didn't have a degree and had spent several years unemployed. S

Chapter 38 Squeeze Him Dry

Sarah's furious voice made Amelia feel taken aback.How could Liam have gotten David beaten up? How was that possible?"Sarah, I know what you're trying to do. All you want is to extort more money out of me, but you shouldn't throw accusations around!" Amelia exclaimed. She couldn't believe it. Someone as arrogant as Liam wouldn't stoop so low as to order people to beat her uncle up.Sarah yelled angrily through the phone, "How dare you say that I'm extorting money from you! Amelia Jenson, you're so ungrateful! Liam's never cared about you, yet you're still so eager to speak up for him. He's sleeping with other women, for god's sake. It doesn't matter how much you care about him! He doesn't give a damn about you!"Even though Sarah was only telling her the truth, her bluntness made Amelia feel hurt and angry."Can you stop bringing that up all the time?""Why should I? It's not like I'm wrong! Your husband got someone to beat up your uncle, yet you don't even have the basic decen

Chapter 39 Her Suspicion

This was the first time Liam had visited the place Amelia rented.Liam frowned as he looked around. The space wasn't very large ,and the furniture on the property looked slightly worn. Compared to the interior in Riverbay Residence, this place was a dump."How do you even live in this place?"Amelia cast him an odd look but answered his question anyway, "My place at Bryxton's even worse."She had grown up there, after all.Liam raised an eyebrow but didn't comment further. "I heard that someone attacked your uncle."When he heard the news, he thought that Amelia would come running to him about it. She didn't have much money, after all. With Amelia around, Liam was certain that David wouldn't pay for anything he didn't have to.His guess was partially right, but after two days of waiting around, Amelia still hadn't contacted him. Liam couldn't wait around anymore and decided to seek her out himself."How'd you know about that?" Amelia asked warily as she recalled what her uncle

Chapter 40 Unworthy of Being a Prescott

Amelia hung her head low, keeping silent. She knew that she had angered Liam."Why'd you get so quiet all of a sudden? You were running your mouth earlier, weren't you?" Amelia had talked so much and even said that she knew about what had really happened, but what the fuck did she know?Startled by his raised voice, Amelia began to tremble. She had always been afraid of him. Now that Liam was angry, she was even more fearful of the man.However, her flinching only fueled Liam's anger.Grabbing her hand forcefully, he yelled, "Why are you shaking? Did I hit you or curse at you? Why are you so scared? How are you so timid and weak? You're unworthy of being a Prescott!"The person in his memories was never this timid. She was always elegant and dignified, earning everyone's respect.Amelia's heart clenched as she recalled what Ember had said.She suddenly felt aggrieved and smacked his hand away swiftly. "That's right. I'm cowardly and weak. I'm not worthy of being your wife! That'
