Liam’s face remained steady, not showing any signs of fear. Instead, he started chuckling softly. Bella snapped angrily, and quickly retrieved her phone to call the police,“I would advise you not to do that,” Liam said faintly.Bella’s eyes narrowed in anger and she crossed her arms above her chest, staring at the arrogant look on his face for a while, and then started chuckling menacingly.“And why is that, Liam? Do you actually think that you’re in any place to threaten me?”Liam remained quiet for a while and then a faint smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. He stared directly at Bella and said, “You know it didn’t make much sense when you first walked down here. I thought why would the head of this boutique try so hard to impress everyone by adorning herself with so many luxury items, but after talking to you, you know what I realized?” He asked, his smile quickly fading into a darkened look.“The first thing is that, when I look at you Bella, I finally understand why you are

Bella sprang up in desperation, “Please Mr Gordon, I’m so sorry I offended Mr Liam. I’ll do anything for you to forgive me. Please I need this job or I’ll lose my house, my car.” She cried without shame. The people in the crowd looked stunned. Just a few minutes ago, she was bragging and threatening to have Liam kicked out of the store, but now she was begging to save her job. They could all tell this chain or result came from her belittling and insulting Liam, but what they could not understand was who was Liam really.Lupe strode slowly toward her, his face devoid of any emotion. He stopped a few inches in front of her and coldly said, “Maybe you should have thought of that before you decided to steal from the store.”Bella’s eyes widened in shock at that moment. She opened her mouth to speak, but could not find the words.“Did you really think that I was not going to find out that you’ve been stealing from this store for years now? You are fired Bella, and since you’ve been so gen

Liam balled his fist in anger but did not say anything. He stared at Victor with a furious gaze and then his expression quickly shifted to a grin. There was no need to pick a fight now. He’d get his revenge and ruin the Carpi’s name and influence in the city before the night ended.With that, he brushed past Victor and just then, a voice echoed loudly on the speaker, “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for all accepting my invitation. Tonight is going to be a memorable one as we will be announcing our company’s most recent developments. Enjoy the drinks and wine, and have a good time.” Peter announced over the radio.Liam saw his opportunity and figured there was no point waiting for the night to end, he quickly stepped towards the stage and headed straight to Peter with a purposeful face.Peter stared at him in confusion but did not react. The crowd stared expectantly, wondering what was going on and why Liam was there.“Please I’d like everyone to give a round of applause to our host t

Without wasting any time, Liam swiped on his phone, and pictures of Peter Carpi at secret deals with Manu Salerno were revealed, together with their recent conversation about the $5 million loan.This sent a shockwave through the crowd. Everyone turned their gaze toward Victor with a deep frown settled on their faces. Victor was shaking with fear, slowly retracing his steps away from the crowd. His face flushed with disgrace, but he tried to hide it and started sneering, “It’s a lie! It’s all a lie!”.“Can’t you all see what he’s trying to do here? My family is reputable and this man has been trying to ruin our reputation for a long time. Who knows where he dug up this fabricated lie!” Victor yelled desperately, shifting his gaze across the room.He thought he’d be able to gain support from the crowd, but this time, no one believed him. They all watched him sternly, and at that point, he could see that his denial was not getting to anyone.Feeling defeated, his face turned red with

Lord David remained quiet for a while, contemplating what Carl had said. He was not sure what to do, Liam had raised his suspicions more and more, and even though he was Shawn’s grandson, Lord David could not help but feel a trace of doubt about him now.“I know you want to believe Liam isn’t a problem, we all do, but this is mostly to protect Mia.”When Carl said Mia’s name, Lord David’s brows arched with intrigue, but before he could say anything, Carl quickly added, “When they do separate, he’s going to want to take her down with him. Having seen how he’s been lately, I have a feeling he’ll drag her to many court cases, stir up rumors and whatever he can say to get attention and that whole process is going to eat Mia up mentally.”“We’ve already seen how fast rumors can spread with this Victor thing, let’s not give the media something more to talk about by creating a public divorce drama. For Mia.” Carl said, faking an air of concern. Despite their look of concern, Carl and Yona h
