Rise Of The World's Overlord 146. A background research.
After speaking to his mother who had summoned him home, Liam hurried towards the garage where Dave always waited for him. “I heard about the reshuffling, are you alright?” Dave asked immediately Liam slide into the car. “Uhm… I'm good.” “Alaric can be so petty. I wonder why he was given the chance to be the acting CEO. Maybe to pacify him…” he huffed, chuckling the next minute. After typing his address on the screen, Liam fell back on his seat, shutting his eyes tightly. The only thing on his mind at that moment was what his mother wanted to talk about. He was so curious that he couldn't keep still even for a minute, he kept on adjusting and readjusting on his seat while Dave observed him from the rear mirror occasionally. On arrival, Dave turned around to inform Liam who in turn stepped out of the car. Since he was being expected, his mother's men were already outside to usher him in. Madam Aurelia was in the living room waiting for his arrival and immediately he stepped in,

Chapter 147Placing the last plate of food on the table, Nelson pulled his chair out and then plopped on it. “Where is Dave, isn't he joining us for breakfast? He asked, looking over his shoulder. “Liam will have to sweet talk him as usual, otherwise, he wouldn't show up.” Rose said, stuffing her mouth with some salad. When Liam and Naya joined them moments later with Dave, they dug into their meal, a total silence on the table. Yet to finish her food, Naya pushed her chair backwards and after emptying her glass of water down her throat, she hurriedly grabbed her bag. “I'm heading out now.” She called out, hurrying towards the exit. “Have a nice day.” Liam called after her. She was already outside the house then. This had been the practice for a month now. Since Nathan had to vacate his position to serve a prison term, she replaced him in his position as the head of the accounting department. Being an integral part of the company, her attention was always needed and also in
Rise Of The World's Overlord 148. A legal team...
Rolling her eyes, Naya fell back on her seat. “He is also your brother so you don't have to treat him like he is a nobody.” Sam pressed on. He had asked her to speak to Liam on his behalf so they could procure a release for him. “I'm not mistreating him, if only he had known when to stop, he wouldn't have been in this mess.” She huffed. “It is his cross so he should carry it.” She added, sucking her teeth. Sam on the other hand was seething with anger. He kept on clenching and unclenching his fists under the table, staring at her with anger and hatred surging through him. “Naya, you have to help us. If no action is taken, Nathan will end up rotting in prison. The legal team just needs his consent so they could start scouting for his release. All we need right now is a word from your husband, nothing more.” “And what makes you think he is in a position to help? The prosecution of the country took up the matter and he isn't in the ministry of justice…” Sam didn't allow her to fini

“What do you want?” Sandra asked, her voice shaking. “When are you going to send the remaining money?” Lily yelled into the speaker. “I will send it before the week runs out. Please be patient with my family, please.” She cried, grasping the edge of the table. After the half an hour call with Lily in which she had begged all through, Naya couldn't help but feel pity towards her and at the same time wonder what the issue was. “Here,” She pushed her hanky towards her and when she didn't take it from her, she walked around the table. Helping her up, she led her towards the couch, “Please talk to me, what is the issue?” She asked, her voice shaking. “Lily is terrorizing me and my family. She had exploited my brother's disability to her advantage and…” She burped again. “She is trying to rip us off of all our hard work.” She cried. “That wouldn't happen.” Naya said, trying to comfort her as she rubbed soothing circles on her back. “It’s already happening and if she decides to hit u
Rise Of The World's Overlord 150. No Way!
With his back turned on the door, Alaric had a glass of coffee to his lips as he looked at the landscape of the bustling city from his window. Ever since he became a part of the company, he had always made it a point of duty to be present at the company every single day. It wasn't as if he had something to handle, all he wanted was to keep Liam on his toes, find something to pin him with and then eventually kick him out of the office. Smacking his lips, he tilted his head to the side and let out a low groan as frustration washed through him. He had been sorting ways on how to dismiss Liam but he was flawless and if he presented the issue to the board of directors, they weren't going to accept without concrete evidence. Now biting his lower lips, his gaze still at the window, he began to comb through his hair. “What am I going to do now? Time is running and I can't allow him to remain here while I plot ways to overthrow the chairwoman. Unlike others, he is smart and not even the

Armed with the report Alaric had requested from his office, Liam walked in. He didn't get to see Lily who was staring at him until she cleared her throat to get his attention, even though he didn't spare her any more seconds immediately he discovered she was the one. “Are you ignoring me?” She walked up to him with her hands folded across her chest. “I'm not. We don't have anything to talk about, excuse me.” He replied with his back turned on her. Grasping the handle, he pulled the door open and before she could try playing her victim card on him, he banged the door shut. “I can't believe Liam is working in this huge company.” She muttered, darting her eyes around with her hands folded in front of her. “I had underestimated him so much and… ugh! I should have been more careful. Had it been we were still couples, I wouldn't be…” The rest of her words died in her throat when the door flung open and Alaric walked in, followed by Giovanni. Immediately his eyes fell on her, a coy

Giovanni, wondering what the issue was this time around, kept staring at him with his hands folded in front of him. When Alaric wouldn't move after a long time he walked up to him, “Sir, is anything the matter?” He asked and at once Alaric grabbed the cuff of his shirt. “The police are here.” He muttered, anger mixed with frustration surging through him. Suddenly, he rose and then dashed towards the exit, Giovanni running after him. He tried opening the elevator but it wouldn't give way and with anger rippling through him, he stormed towards the stairs. “Sir, the elevator is open.” Giovanni said. In anger, he had pressed the wrong button. After leaving Alaric's office earlier, Liam had returned to his, only to head to the cafeteria as soon as he arrived. With Naya’s help, he was able to get through to Sandra who immediately contacts the police, sending them to the company to arrest her. An unsuspecting Lily who was all giddy, stepped out of the elevator on the ground floor. Sh
Rise Of The World's Overlord 153. "I'm not mad at you."
After a long day at work, Liam grabbed his briefcase off the table and then went to the garage to join Dave who was waiting for him as usual. When he got to the middle of the garage, a car suddenly began to honk, making him look around.Seeing that he had yet to detect the car, Giovanni, who was behind the wheel at that time turned on the headlights, attracting Liam. Now seated next to him, Liam had his gaze on the dashboard, wondering what he wanted to say to him. “Nice acting back there.” Giovanni started. “Thank you.” Liam replied. He knew he was referring to when he was speaking with Alaric after Lily had been arrested. They had locked eyes several times and Giovanni had shown him with his gaze that he knew exactly what he had done. “So, what do you want to talk about?” An impatient Liam asked. Instead of answering the question, Giovanni fell back on his seat with his hands folded across his chest. “You should thank your stars for your quick thinking otherwise, your whole
