Liam didn't feel disappointed anymore. He was slowly getting used to this, and at this point, it only dawned on him the kind of person his ex was. He sighed and finally decided to take a seat to put all his thoughts together.
As he sat down calmly, he seized himself up and down but actually, he was satisfied with his look. He believed he didn't have to show a flashy look, before his worth could be revealed.
Just then, as he was thinking, the bar door clicked open and his coursemates in the college, started walking in, filling the bar at the same time.
From their looks, it was evident they were all doing well, and appearing graceful and honorable as ever!
They stormed in, with their expensive outfits, shoes, bags, watch, looks, and so on, with satisfied cool look all plastered on their faces. Some of them even came with their lovers.
But as expected, none of them talked to Liam or even greeted him. They all ignored him like he didn't exist and just focused on others. Evidently, hostility could be perceived in the air.
Liam just stared at them, he was also prepared and acted as if they were also nothing.
At the same time, Liam's friend who called him earlier, Jasper, also appeared and quickly ambled to meet him. He noticed all these, and he felt sad for his best friend. He thought Liam deserved more than this, but he could get that their coursemates were all jealous of Liam's title!
" Liam! Oh, am I glad you came. " Jasper strolled to meet him and sat beside him immediately, passing Liam a cool drink. " I hope you don't mind their piggy glares?" He laughed and teased him.
Liam faced him and relaxed even more. " Them? Who are them?" He put on an indifferent look as he arched one of his brows.
He was also glad to see his friend again after few months of graduating.
Jasper was immediately pleased, and he laughed out happily. " Good one dude, good one!" He exclaimed and immediately gulped a glass of strong wine.
" Don't worry, I know they are just envious and annoyed that you are the best graduating student, and you were able to date the most beautiful lady in the college back then!"
Hearing this, Liam's elated face instantly masked down, and he cast a side glance towards Jasper, who was blabbering non stop!
Jasper's voice was loud enough for the other mates to hear and even Beverly herself.
This was when the other mates looked at Beverly and noticed she was clinging unto another man's arm, which was quite intimate. This could only means one thing.....
Quickly, some of the mates grinned inwardly and strolled to where Liam and Jasper were sitting.
" Liam, do you mind if we ask why Beverly is with another man right now?" One of them asked unceremoniously, with a shrew smile.
" Yes Liam, it's so strange to see Beverly clinging to someone else instead of you."
They were trying to bombard Liam with sensitive questions, appearing as if they care, but they only wanted to see Liam's embarrassed face. And possibly humiliate him the more.
This was when Jasper also noticed something was odd, and he glanced towards the direction of where Beverly was.
Swiftly, his eyes darkened, and he placed down the empty glass of wine he was holding. Seeing that, he could only guess one thing, and he stood up, feeling enraged!
" Beverly, what are you doing?!" He questioned her in an audacious tone, his eyes glaring at her.
" Don't you dare glare at my woman!" Max howled, warning Jasper seriously with a cold look.
Beverly even clung unto Max's arm the more and raised her brows, with a twisted lips. " What does it seems like I am doing?"
Jasper's face flushed, as blood surged more into his face, and he balled his fists!
" Shut up!" He snapped angrily and let out a hiss with annoyance. " You are a bitch, Beverly! Nothing but a bloody slut! How could you do this?! Liam spent a lots on you, try to make you happy in every possible way and was ready to do anything! Do you even know you are the reason why he is more like this?!"
Max stepped forward after Jasper's furious outburst ,but Beverly held him back.
" Don't mind him. He is just pained." She said coquettishly.
Then, she cast a cold look at Jasper, her lips twitching.
" Liam is a total jerk. A failure and all. He is jobless, worthless, useless, futureless, and a foolish loser." She spat at him in a sharp voice, laced with nothing with arrogance. " So tell me, what's the bad thing in finding a better nice man?"
The college mates, who heard all this couldn't help but mocked Liam, pointing their fingers to him! It was obvious, this was what they were expecting, and they all agreed with Beverly.
" Of course! Apart from the title of the best graduating student, what else can he claim? He is as useless as a piece of trash!"
" So what if he is the best graduating student, does that take him to anywhere? He is still a jobless fool, that wanders around with no hope of a better future!"
" I can proudly say some people will die without a better life!"
" No job, no good life, no better future, no money, no lady, what kind of life is that??"
While Jasper was still fuming over this, Liam just crossed one leg over the other and sneered. Though, he was also enraged, but he bottled it up and maintained a calm eyes.
He now knew the kind of people his coursemates were. They were people who were envious of the outstanding people but still mocked the poor ones! How twisted!
All of a sudden, his voice rang out, deeper, and colder than before, and it towered over them, silencing them instantly!
" Waiter!" He called and signaled to Sarah, who was still hanging at a corner.
No one knew how, but they all maintained a decorum upon Liam's strong voice, and Sarah rushed forward.
The same time, Liam brought out his black golden card and threw it at Sarah!
" I want to buy hundred bottles of the most expensive drink right now!"
What followed his statement, was nothing, but a hall engulfed in absolute silence! But soon after, a loud burst of laughter resounded, as everyone instantly regained their senses. They all made a derisive laughter and pointed their fingers at him. " Did you just hear that? A worthless idiot want to buy the most expensive drink here?" " He can't even afford an ordinary buns, not to talk of bread, worst of all, an expensive drink! Oh, he must be kidding!" " Kidding? This is far from that! He is just bragging, trying to make us know he is also not ordinary!" " He must be a fool to think like that! Who does he wants to impress? Us? What can a poverty sicken dog like him do to impress us? This is absolutely unworthy and just depict how dump he is!" " I agree! Even if he has the money to buy a drink, I suggest he should use it to improve his life, especially his condition of living. Just look at the ordinary cloth he is putting on, even my cleaner's salary can afford his cloth
Sarah couldn't understand what Beverly meant, but she didn't debate or think on that. She looked at Liam again and said, " Sir, please don't misunderstand me. The drinks are too heavy, that is why I came to call some of the waiters to help me and also to return your card." She explained carefully, ignoring Beverly's look. Then she passed the black golden card to Liam. " Here sir." Liam sighed inwardly, and collected the card. He had first thought the card was a fake one and was now prepared to rain so much curses on his father for disappointing him again! After Sarah's explanation, everyone shut their mouths instantly! They didn't dare to say anything, not after what they heard. It was unbelievable, and it made them stunned! Max in particular, stood up and went forward to meet Sarah with a conflicted look. " What do you mean the drinks are heavy? Did he really buy the drinks? But that's impossible!" He didn't gave Sarah a chance at all. Sarah struggled to maintained her b
Liam clenched his jaws, as his nostrils started to flare! He couldn't believe what these fried brains were saying! A great feeling of resentment and extreme anger roamed across his eyes, and he felt like unleashing a serious comeback at them!Jasper glanced at Liam and noticed he was annoyed just as he was. This even intensified his anger, and he lashed out at both Max and Beverly. " You guys are just envious that Liam can buy 10 bottles of the most expensive drinks here, while you guys can't even afford two of it!" " Oh, please!" Beverly waved indifferently at Jasper and snorted coldly. " Don't pretend as if you don't know how Liam got the money! I can sense both of you are involve in the same thing! Well, I am not amazed, birds of the same feather flock together." " Shut the fuck up Beverly! You are damn crazy for saying that!" Jasper yelled and stepped forward, growling. Max scoffed and pointed at Jasper and Liam. " I will make sure you two don't get away with this, sin
Bruce stared into Liam's eyes and saw how determined he was, feeling the weight of his fierce words. " Then I will make you become someone you never imagined yourself to be! I will make you mighty and invincible! That's the only way I can make it up to you." The atmosphere in the car turned something else, after Bruce's words. This was when Liam's eyes locked with the old man butler's eyes. It seemed they both understood something. After that, the car zoomed away. ~~~~~ Meanwhile at the bar. After Liam was taken away by the cops, Jasper also felt humiliated, but the anger that overwhelmed him was more than the humiliation he felt. The college mates all cheered Beverly and Max for what they did. They swam around them, discussed, laughed, and even exchanged contacts. " Beverly, I really didn't think you can treat that asshole like that, but he surely deserves it!" " Yes! I like the way he was taken away by the cops and the expression on his face." " Oh, that was
Five years later..Avalon city. A young man appearing to be in his late twenties, stepped out of the private jet and glanced around. His body was clothed with an exquisite tailored made suit, that hugged his well built body, perfectly accentuating his long legs and the uniqueness of his body. Although, he looked striking and pleasing to the eyes, but his aura wasn't. It felt as if there was a barrier around him, subconsciously stopping anybody from approaching or moving close to him. He was like an unfathomable mystery. His eyes were sharp and frosty as they scanned the city.It had been a while. " My....Lord..." A trembling short figure, tried to approached the young man, wiping his sweats at the same time nervously. " Get the car ready." The young man ordered calmly and stuffed his hands into his pocket, before he strode away coldly. The trembling short man adjusted his gold rimmed eyeglass anxiously and stepped back slightly, before nodding obediently. " Yes...My
This was when Liam put the call to an end and narrowed his eyes at the girl, who was standing in front of the car. The moment his eyes landed on the girl, they contracted, and one of the muscles in his face feathered. The assistant was terrified to see this, and he subtly bit the tip of his fingers, feeling nervous again. " Poor you, you are going to lose your job today! I hope the boss doesn't kill you." He scolded the chauffer and shook his head. For the first time since Liam got back to the city, his expression changed rapidly, and he felt unusual. Even the chauffer was anxiously praying for himself now. The assistant couldn't take the silence anymore. He felt he was going to burst out any moment, cause he was too uncomfortable. His jaws ticked , and he quickly unfastened his seat belt....But unexpectedly, Liam placed his hand on the assistant's hand that was holding the seat belt, to stop himInstantly, the assistant felt frightened, to the extent he froze, and his e
Along a narrow lonely valley, a young familiar girl could be seen. She was the little girl, who had an encountered with Liam and Gwin. The little girl hopped happily, still tightly clutching the money in her hands, with a face full of excitement. It didn't take long before she stopped, seemingly as if she already got to her aimed place. She took a deep breath and stole glances around carefully, before she twisted the door knob. " Angelina, is that you?" A timorous voice sounded, the moment the little girl pushed open the door, that made a loud creaking sound. " Yes mama." The little girl replied gently and headed over to where the voice was coming from. An unfamiliar lady laid on a small sized bed, with her back turned. A blanket could be seen covering half of her body, and she coughed slightly. From her back view, one could even noticed the lady doesn't appear too well. ." Mama," The little girl called Angelina, climbed on the bed and released the money she was tightly
Max was not expecting Liam to be here, after how many years, but this immediately made him to scowled! He halted and lazily seized Liam up and down, with a displeased look. Of course, Liam felt a pair of eyes latching on his back, but he didn't react. He was still facing the guards, who were trying to stop him.."Is there a criteria for you to know who is the president now?" He spoke up, in a bored tone, laced with a hint of indifference. The guards were astonished to hear this coming from Liam, and they snorted with annoyance! " Who gave you the audacity to talk back at us?! Hey punk, we might be guards, but we still have a high position compare to you! We earn more, at least more than a lazy ass like you!" " Surely we have something to rely on and not looking for opportunities to steal what we don't have!" The guards pressed, with irritation! " I won't warn you again! You are already crossing the line by daring to even look straight into our eyes! I guess you don't know I
