Chapter 9
Lia couldn’t feel anything in her belly. The little life that she had growing inside her womb had died. Even if it was only for a short period of time, she could sense that it wasn’t there anymore.
Her tears streamed down uncontrollably, and her heart was swamped with overbearing affliction.
Why did they have to treat her like this?
She had already given up on Ralph, so why did Amber have to harm her child?
Lia curled up and tried to suppress her sobs.
Just then, a knock sounded from the door.
Lia composed herself and said, “Come in.”
Daniel Adams, Lia’s father, walked in. He sighed as he looked at her in distress.
Back then, Lia had insisted on marrying Ralph. Since then, Lia, who was never mistreated, had to, endure three years of suffering and hardships.
Not only did she get hurt, but she had almost lost her life miserably.
When he heard that she encountered something terrible, he became extremely worried. How he wished he could punish Ralph and that despicable woman!
He walked over to his daughter and caressed her face gently. Then he spoke softly, “Don’t worry, my little princess. From now on, no one will dare to bully you.”
Lia couldn’t hold back her tears and hugged her father. as she cried uncontrollably.
“Dad, I was wrong…”
Things had gone
down so bad that they couldn’t even conclude it with a decent ending.
It wasn’t easy to part ways peacefully. In the end, someone had to pay the price for this marriage.
She had poured out her heart for three years only to receive humiliation and hurt in return. She had
even lost her child.
As such, this was a lesson that Lia would never forget.
Daniel stroked her hair softly and said, “You can come back whenever you want. Jake will take care of the rest. Your Mom will surely be worried when she comes back.”
When he had received the call from Anisa, the shock had almost given him a heart attack.
Compared to losing his daughter, the mistake she had made didn’t matter at all.
The influence of the Adams Corporation was no less than that of the Walters Corporation.
Why did Ralph think that he could get away with mistreating Lia?

“I will personally settle this score myself, dad. Don’t meddle around.”
Knowing his daughter’s character, Daniel nodded helplessly.
“Alright, I will leave it to you.”
After all, he had already made up his mind. He would not let the person who hurt his daughter get away with it.
Lia pursed her lips. “Is Mom still filming?”
Lia’s mother, Eleanor Hart, was a famous actress in the film industry who won awards left and right.
She had started acting when she was young, but even in her 40s now, she still had a solid reputation. She had never stopped receiving scripts and would shoot a movie every year to pass time.
However, Eleanor kept her marriage a secret. No one knew that she was married to Daniel, the chairman of Adams Corporation, and gave birth to Lia. Her private life was very well–hidden.
Daniel nodded and smiled. “She won’t be coming back for a while since she’s attending an event
overseas.
Even though Eleanor couldn’t return, her video calls came one after another and kept Lia busy.
Afraid to disturb his daughter’s recovery, Daniel hadn’t revealed her return home. He planned to wait until she was feeling a little better.
Nevertheless, Anisa went straight to the Adams‘ residence after she had heard that Lia was awake.
Jpon seeing Lia’s weak and ashen face, she felt distressed for her and even lost her temper.
‘How could he not even ask about you when you lost your child? That night, he bailed that woman out of the police station. I should have just smashed her head with a brick instead of slapping her!”
ia no longer had any feelings for Ralph.
ven more so, she didn’t care who he was with now.
Despite that, she couldn’t help but feel a sharp pang in her heart whenever her child was mentioned.
till, what was the use of being sad?
