“What happened to you?” Amelia asked.
Alicia forced a smile and said, “I was beaten by Ryan. He was frustrated that I couldn’t secure York
Group business for him, so he took it out on me.”
Amelia fell silent. After all, Alicia had come to seek her help before to secure a business deal between
Ryan and Warren. She had declined the request at that time.
Alicia saw Amelia’s expression and pretended to be generous. “Amelia, don’t take it to heart. It has
nothing to do with you. I loved the wrong man. I didn’t expect him to hit me because of a failed
business deal.”
After she said that, Alicia paused again and said apologetically, “The last time I left, I said some harsh
things to you. Please don’t take it seriously. I was in a bad mood at that time. Now, I’m relieved I didn’t
assist someone as heartless as Ryan in securing a business deal. It wouldn’t have been worth it.”
When she heard this, Amelia hesitated for a moment and said, “In fact, you can leave him and live on
your own. Just like me, after I was released from prison, I opened a small pasta restaurant and set up a
food cart. Now I’m running a concession stand. It’s not bad as I live a stable life.”
YeYeah, that’s what I think, too.” Alicia said, “I have also moved RRyan’s house. I rented a place of my
own, and I am living the I figure out my next steps. Amelia, I don’t have many friends. I more often in
the future, please don’t find me annoying.”
Amelia pursed her lips, but she still nodded when she saw Alicia
rachd expectant eyes.
Afterall, Alicia had helped her in prison before.
Aldiaia immediately smiled. faiththe next few days, Alicia would come here to visit Amelia and greet
Matikilda.
Bythihwagay, Amelia, in two days, I’m planning to visit the church for som partyersWould you be willing
to accompany me?” Alicia said. “Besides, yourare pregnant now. It might be a good idea to go, pray to
the Virgin Mary and seek her blessings for a safe delivery.”
“I’m not particularly religious,” Amelia responded. She placed more trust in the medical care she
received in the hospital than in prayer.
“Consider giving it a try. Besides, it won’t hurt you to pay your respects to the Virgin Mary! I’ll drive right
to the parking lot in front of the church, so you won’t have to walk or exert yourself.” Alicia continued to
persuade Amelia.
Matilda at the side heard Alicia and said, “Why don’t you go for a prayer? It won’t hurt. It might bring
you some peace of mind, even if you’re not religious.”
Older generations, such as Matilda, had a strong belief in religion.
When she heard this, Amelia didn’t refuse again and agreed to go to the church with Alicia.
“That’s a deal. I will pick you up in two days!” With that, Alicia left the concession stand and went back
to her car.
As soon as she got in the car, her face turned grim.
Alicia was expecting a spectacle on that day. Since Amelia had hurt her so badly, she wanted Amelia to
experience an even worse fate!
Two days later, Alicia drove Amelia to the church.
While on the way, Alicia engaged in casual conversation and mentioned, “You should be three months
pregnant now. You need to be cauti Miscarriage is more common in this month.”
“I’ll be careful,” Amelia replied.
“By the way, have you heard about Mr. Yustone? He badmouthed yo outside the sip and see party
venue. Now he’s in a tough spot, and his family is going bankrupt. His previous business ventures all
failed, and is now trying to borrow money from anyone who will listen. Unfortunately, no one dares to
lend him a penny,” Alicia said.novelbin
Amelia listened quietly, and there was no expression on her face.
Alicia cast a sidelong glance at Amelia and continued meaningfully, “Mr. Yustone is so miserable
because he offended Warren. Amelia, you’re so lucky to have a man like Warren who will marry you
and defend you. Unlike me, my youth was squandered on a betrayer like Ryan.”
“If you live your life authentically, youll eventually meet someone who really loves youl Ameliaaaid.
“Really? 5o… can you initudduce someone to me? There should be many young talents in Warrens’s
company. How about trying to play matchmaker for me? Hititworks out, Ill always be grateful for your
kindness.” Alicia asked dvititibope in her eyes.
Amelia bit her lip and said “don’t know anyone in his company. I’m afraid I can’t be of any heh.”
“Really? Then it’s all right. Let’s talk bbout it later.” Alicia still kept a smile on her face, but she cursed
dualitiously in her heart, “Amelia, you asked for it!”
In the church. Alicia guided Ameliahthorough the process of praying and venerating the Virgin Mary
with praaddodd ease.

Amelia pursed her lips and eventually accepted the pouch. It carried a faint fragrance.
When they returned to the car, Alicia suddenly began to rummage through her body and bag.
“What’s wrong?” Amelia asked.
“My phone is missing. Maybe it’s left in the church. Wait for me in the car. I’ll go and find my phone,”
Alicia said.
Amelia nodded.
