The Untouchable Ex-Wife



Chapter 2220

"It was just a test from my father. He had seen through people. He wouldn't make things difficult for the people who were nice to me," Amber explained.

She knew what kind of a person her father was. At this point, she didn't want to keep it from Renee and the others either. She felt that it was more important to reassure them.

"So, it really was a test!" Leia was enlightened, but failed to understand Benjamin. "Is he out of his mind? He didn't have to make it seem so real! If Liam didn't block the knife for you, he would have lost you!"

Leia was filled with lingering fear when she recalled the terrifying scene yesterday.

Benjamin's madness surprised her. He could even be harsh on his daughter! At the same time, Leia mocked Mateo's fake passion. He said so much, but he could still attack his so- called beloved woman at that critical moment.

What amazed her the most was Liam. He claimed that he didn't love Amber, but he was the one who used his chest to block the attack for her. It was contradictory.

"If Mr. Jenkins agrees to let us go, we'll thank him sincerely. We troubled him a lot these days. I hope to gain his forgiveness and work together with him if there's a chance," Renee expressed her gratitude for Benjamin and Amber.

Her assumption had been accurate. The conflict finally came to an end, with Liam's injury being the price. Though she was livid, it was better to get out of there earlier.

"Sure!" Amber took a deep breath, though she seemed reluctant to part with Liam. "I hope Dad can work with you. I also hope our story won't end here."

Then, she exited the room.noveldrama

Leia hurriedly approached Liam and inspected his condition. "Liam, are you okay? Did they poison you or place an eavesdropping device on you?"

"No, I'm fine." Liam frowned and moved Leia's hands away. "I'm weak now. If they're still on guard against me, they're heartless."

After escaping a near-death experience, his thoughts were different and he stopped taking things seriously. On the contrary, he didn't hate or doubt Benjamin that much. He just wanted to leave this fort as quickly as possible.

Liam looked feeble, and seeing him this way filled Renee with deep guilt. She flexed her fingers and hesitated for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry, Liam."

Liam looked at Renee with confusion. "Why are you apologizing to me for no reason?"

"It's because..." Renee bit her lips and said agitatedly, "I could tell that Benjamin tried to test you and Mateo by doing that. I could have stopped him. But I... I thought luck was on our side."

If she could stop them earlier, Liam wouldn't have been stabbed.

"Oh, it's nothing!" Liam disagreed, and added brightly, "Like I said, I blocked the attack instinctively. Plus, Benjamin insisted on that. He wanted me to get stabbed. You couldn't have stopped him!"
