"Ms. Shannon, Astra called again to ask about the script. Have you made up your mind?" Erina asked Amelia if she had decided which company to sell the copyright to.Amelia rubbed her temples as she thought of how Astra kept pestering her. Did Eric ask them to do that? "Who from Astra called?" Amelia asked."An agent, Farah. She's trying to get the female lead role for a celebrity under her. I've met the celebrity before. She has the look that matches the female lead's vibe," Erina replied."Farah?" Amelia was surprised to hear this name. "You know what? Invite all three companies to a meeting.""Sure." Erina nodded. "Ms. Shannon, you want to meet all of them at once?""Yes, they're all rivals anyway. Let's hear it from them." After Erina left, Amelia took out Astra's document and read it. She then put it aside before calling Eric. "Astra is interested in my script too?" she asked.Eric was shocked. "Someone from my company called?"Amelia smiled and answered, "Yes. Peopl

She knew that Liam's company was in fierce competition with Astra, but she couldn't have imagined that Eric would usurp Liam as the president.How did everything become like this? As Amelia was trying to make sense of everything, Erina came to tell her that Liam had come. After Erina brought Liam in, Amelia asked, "How come you're here?"Gio knew that she was Shannon, so by extension, Liam would know too. But Amelia didn't expect Liam to visit her all of a sudden.

I'll reunite with Grandma soon. She won't be alone up there." Peter comforted Amelia.His consolation only made her more upset, but Amelia mustered a smile and nodded. "Yes, you'll reunite with Grandma. Both of you are leaving me here in this world."Peter rubbed the back of Amelia's hands. "Grandma and I couldn't protect you. But I'm so glad that you've become so strong. Cherish your life now."Amelia was now a renowned scriptwriter, and Peter knew that many companies wanted to buy her stories.

Amelia was surprised to receive a call from Karen. "Amelia, are you free? Do you want to join us for dinner?" Karen's voice was tender as she asked.Amelia wasn't sure if she was hallucinating, but she thought that Karen sounded very affectionate. So, she subconsciously agreed to her invite. When she arrived at the Lancaster residence, Hannah answered the door."Be careful. They have an agenda for having you over," Hannah whispered into Amelia's ears. Then, she quickly put on a smile and called out, "Dad! Mom! Amelia's here."Amelia raised her brow, unsure of what Hannah was implying. But she also had a hunch that this wouldn't just be a simple dinner. Did they find out about her identity? At dinner, Karen was her usual self, but Charles seemed more hospitable than before.

They both worked during the day, and Amelia mostly kept to herself in her office before getting off work early.Liam had also come to Amelia's apartment several times. He'd knocked many times, but Amelia would never answer the door. Truth to be told, Amelia was afraid that Liam would barge in. After all, he did let himself in the night she got hurt by Leona. Later on, Amelia changed her lock. However, her intuition told her that Liam still had her keys. But fortunately, Liam didn't barge in."Is it that difficult to forgive me?"
