Chapter 781 Pills Changed

Amelia took a big swig of the liquor before her. It burned her throat, prompting her to heave and cough out loud. Liam patted Amelia's back and chided her affectionately, "Even if you want to drown your sorrow away, this isn't how you do it."Amelia tilted her head and looked at him. "Weren't you drinking too? Join me."Liam stared at Amelia for a while and laughed. "Sure."They then began chugging drink after drink. Soon, Amelia's cheek had turned scarlet, and her eyes became glossy. This sight of hers rekindled something within Liam, and his heart tingled with excitement.He said, "Lia, I've told you everything. And I've settled everything too. "Will you be mine again, please?"Amelia looked at Liam and smiled, but whether or not she had heard what he said was unclear.Liam held Amelia by her shoulder, and she smiled as she leaned closer. Despite the alcoholic scent she had on her, Liam didn't find the scent unpleasant. "Liam, I feel bad for you, you know? She sai

Chapter 782 Shannon's Script

"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

Gio had just returned to the office when he heard the news of the vote of no confidence. Anxious, he went to Liam. "Sir, I was told they were…""How did the copyright acquisition go?" Liam interrupted Gio's question.Gio was surprised by Liam's nonchalance, but it also somehow reassured him. He answered, "Unfortunately Sir, I wasn't able to acquire Shannon's script. Prime Studios got it.""Prime Studios?" Liam frowned at first, but when he heard that Prime Studios won, he broke into a smile. "I don't mind it if it's Prime Studios.""Also Sir, Shannon is… Madam Amelia," Gio uttered gingerly, scanning Liam's expression.Liam lifted his head, surprised. Then, he laughed out loud. "She sure is full of surprises.""Right? I was shocked to see Madam in the conference room. I thought I was hallucinating." Gio recalled how he blurted out "Madam!" inappropriately, and how Amelia wanted him to call her Shannon. Of course, Gio didn't tell Liam all that."Sir, why weren't we warned ab

Chapter 784 Use The Woman He Loves

Liam was deposed as the CEO of the Prescott Group, and his replacement was Eric, his half-brother. Amelia was naturally shocked by the news. 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. What's more, Liam didn't look like he'd just come out of a deposition at all. "Were you expecting to see a glum face on me?" Liam asked.Amelia smiled dryly when Liam called her out.After the Prescott Group made an official announcement and financial news channels reported the news, many netizens began commenting and mocking Liam. "Was I that obvious?" Amelia asked.Lia

Chapter 785 Come Clean

But in the end, I was injured, and I lost my baby!" Amelia defended Eric subconsciously.Liam sniggered. "Yeah, without the baby, there'd be nothing binding us together anymore. Then we'd have an excuse to get a divorce."Amelia's fingers dug deep into her palms. She looked down as a vortex of information overwhelmed her head. Suddenly, her phone buzzed. Amelia was shocked to see who the caller was and hesitated to pick up the call.Liam glanced at Amelia and scoffed before leaving. As she watched Liam's retreating figure, Amelia felt a complicated mix of emotions. Was Liam… mad?

Liam must have told Amelia something that made her refuse to pick up his call.Eric needed to see

And after holding on for another three years since, it seemed like Peter was ready to leave.Amelia felt sad and wept when she saw Peter's haggard face and bony arms. "Amelia, you ought to be happy. 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.

Chapter 787 Defending Liam

Amelia finally had time to relax after a month had passed. Then, it suddenly occurred to her that her period had been late by a week for that month. The pregnancy scare seized Amelia, so she went to buy some pregnancy test kits from a pharmacy. She then prepped herself up and anxiously waited for the test result.It came back with double lines. Amelia redid the test two more times, but the results were the same. How could this be? Amelia felt defeated.That night, she'd gotten drunk and slept with Liam in Riverbay Residence. She knew she had to take birth control pills the next morning, but she was sidetracked by Liam's revelation about him secretly changing the pills. This left Amelia feeling frustrated, and she somehow forgot to take the pills. And when it finally occurred to her that she'd forgotten to take them, it was already too late. Hence, Amelia decided not to go to the office that day. She wanted to stay at home and think about the future of her baby.She

Chapter 788 Declined

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. As Amelia recalled Hannah's warning, she grew more apprehensive about everything.Liam had sent Leona back, but she was nowhere to be seen during the dinner. However, Amelia thought nothing of it. Per

Chapter 789 Heartlessness

"The Lancasters and Leona are none of my business anymore." Amelia was deeply hurt but Charles's and Karen's attitude. She even resented them now. If they didn't care about her, why should she care about them? Would they help her in times of need if she helped them?Liam was surprised by Amelia's answer. "I thought you would say yes to Karen."Amelia was befuddled. "What makes you think that way?""Ever since the first time you met her, you always looked at Karen differently from the others. I didn't know how to explain it, but now, I think I understand. They say blood is thicker than water. So, maybe that's why she's special to you.""You think so?" Amelia wasn't aware of that. Then, she said, "Oh, I heard you acquired the Hamilton Group. Are they the Hamiltons I know?"Liam's voice turned stern when the Hamiltons were mentioned. "Yes, Brandon's family business.""Why? Isn't he a good friend of yours?" Amelia was confused."When you were kidnapped three years ago, he help

Chapter 790 Alex is Pregnant

Ever since they visited the shy man, Amelia had been avoiding Liam. She never picked up Liam's calls or replied to his texts. 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?" Amelia looked at the text and refused to reply. Suddenly, her phone vibrated. Amelia stared at the caller ID for a while before picking it up."Amelia, are you free? Can you come to the hospital with me?"Amelia frowned. When she arrived at the hospital, she saw Alex sitting on the staircase. Her disheveled head was
