Chapter 2123

"Matt and I have discussed. We agreed to give it a try so we could help Liam leave safely, resolve this mess, and satisfy Dad and everyone. Maybe it'll work, and we'll be in love with each other. Isn't that a happy ending?" Amber said.

She was bright and enthusiastic. Finally, she looked up and saw other people other than Liam.

The moment she met Liam, she seemed to have been bewitched and could no longer see other men. She was full of love, regardless if Liam was good or bad. She felt that as long as she could be with him, she could tolerate everything.

Though Benjamin had long planned to let her marry Mateo, she had been firmly against it. She even threatened to kill herself.

"You don't know, but Dad raised Matt as my prospective husband. Then, Liam came out of nowhere. I could think of nothing but marrying him. I told Dad that I would kill myself if he didn't let me marry Liam. It scared him and made him adjust his plan. He regarded Liam as his son-in-law and kept Liam as the heir of the fort. I thought I could protect Liam that way. Dad wouldn't harm him, either. But today, I realized how childish and selfish I was." At that point, Amber looked apologetic.

"I naively thought that it would be great as long as Dad didn't harm Liam, but I didn't think that it would imprison Liam if he was forced into a marriage he didn't want and to a woman he didn't love. He'd be physically safe, but his soul would be forever stuck. I shouldn't trap him because of my selfish desires. He should return to the world he belongs to. He should enjoy a vast world."

"You're very thoughtful. Yes, Liam isn't suited to stay here. Thank you very much for letting him go," Leia thanked Amber sincerely.

"Don't thank me. You should thank Matt. He came up with this idea!" Amber laughed. "Matt knows Dad's temper. If I cancel the marriage just like this, he'll be furious with Liam. But if I marry another man Dad previously approved of, he won't be that mad. He'll also consider letting you guys off. Then, we'll only mind our own business and stop disturbing each other."

Benjamin had always been an extreme person. Previously, he wanted Liam dead, but Amber stopped him by using the excuse of her fake romance with Liam.

However, Renee's arrival exposed their fake romance. If Amber hadn't quickly come up with a resolution, Renee and Leia would end up miserably, let alone Liam. Hence, she came to a heartbreaking decision.

However, she wasn't as carefree as she made herself to be. She didn't feel that women could be touched by men's love. She knew very well she would never fall in love with Mateo. Similarly, Liam would never fall in love with her.

Amber had thought things through. Loving someone meant making unconditional sacrifices. She would be happy as long as the man she loved was happy. She was willing to marry Mateo in exchange for Liam's freedom. She felt that this was also a kind of happiness.

*Anyway, I came to reassure you guys. Just stay here like you're on a trip. Enjoy yourselves. I'll handle my dad. Don't worry!"

With that, Amber left the room with ease of mind.
