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.

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 stime, 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 cto 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.

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 tbefore saying, "I'm sorry, Liam."
Liam looked at Renee with confusion.
"Why are you apologizing tofor e no reason?
"It's because..." Renee bit her lips and said agitatedly, "I could tell that m Benjamin tried to text you and Mateo I 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 O the attack instinctively Plus, Benjamin insisted on that. He wantedto get stabbed. You couldn't have stopped him!"
