The Ingenious Liam Price 146: More Lies
Liam received a letter from Avery two days later. She talked about how Charlotte was starting to question his whereabouts. She also added that it could be that his father's wife was aware that he was in prison. Liam could tell that Avery was starting to get worried and wanted to know when he would return.He wrote her back and lied that a month was added to his jail term, making it three months in total, because he had already clocked two months in prison. Meanwhile, he had barely five days left to be released. Liam lied because he wanted to surprise everyone, mostly Avery who had been his backbone over the past two months. She handled his business like her own and ensured stocks didn't drop.Avery wasn't completely at ease when she received Liam's letter in the following two days. She was getting more tense because Charlotte still kept watchful eyes on her. Worst, Charlotte sent a duplicate of the photo Hunter had given her. The photos someone had taken from a hidden spot."Fuck!" A

To Avery's uttermost dismay, Hunter Gail showed up at the daily noon meeting the following day. The man was looking all dressed up in an expensive business suit and he was seated beside Charlotte Price.Avery blinked a couple of times, wondering if she was seeing things or if it was truly Hunter Gail seated at the table. "You're five minutes late to the meeting, Avery Duffer." And it was still Hunter who said this, while everyone else remained silent."What's going on here?" Avery burst out, referring to the person who just spoke.And Charlotte, who had a smug expression on, decided to speak up before anyone else could."He's back to reclaim his position at the company after being manipulated to resign.""You can't do this in Liam's absence," Avery was totally against this, nor could she hide her displeasure.Charlotte looked behind her as if she was in search of someone."Liam? You mean the one who was given a five-year jail term for a murder attempt?" She inquired with mockery in h
The Ingenious Liam Price 148: Back From Prison (I)
Liam had a hard time bidding his friends goodbye. He had spent two months with them and he could feel his heart quaking in his chest, as he hugged and shook hands with them. During his short stay in prison, he became very popular because of his fight with Robb and his men. And then he made all the inmates eat good food, from his own pocket. They let him go after he had promised to visit them once more."I thought someone was coming to pick you up?" Mr. McFarlane asked as he escorted Liam out."No, I'm going by myself," Liam replied, carefully not adding the part that he lied to his people that they extended his stay to another month."Farewell Liam Price, visit us soon."Liam gave the prison warden a little smile before waving him, and then the prison gates were closed.For the first in two months, Liam was out of jail as a free man. When he first arrived, he couldn't wait to leave. And now that he had been liberated, he missed his friends. In prison, he was made to do hard labor and
The Ingenious Liam Price 149: Back From Prison (II)
Avery was having a hangover the next morning because she drank more than half of a liquor bottle. She groaned as she rose from the bed because the harsh morning sun was penetrating through the windows and adding weight to her migraine."I thought about Liam to the extent I dreamed of him," she yawned and stretched at the same time.It was a Friday morning, and already past 10 AM when she stared at the wall clock."Shit," she hissed under her breath as she dashed into the bathroom to wash up. Ten minutes later, she rushed out wearing a bathrobe as she proceeded to blow-dry her hair."I'll bet those bastards are cooking something up this time," Avery spoke to her reflection in her dressing mirror."And Liam hasn't even written back to me. It's been four days since I sent him that letter. I wonder what's wrong with him."Someone knocked on her door, and upon thinking it was a maid, she permitted the door to be opened.In came a strange man, wearing an apron."Who are you?" Avery frowned

"You're late again," Charlotte muttered when Avery showed up at the conference hall.Avery slid into the power seat and put her hands on the table. She was overly confident."Have you forgotten I don't work for this company alone?" She inquired with a smirk."And that's one of the many reasons why you should give up already, this place isn't for you." Said Charlotte. While Hunter remained silent. He knew better than letting out a word, as he was yet to recover from what Avery did to him yesterday.He could not even look up to meet her eyes. And Avery scoffed before pulling back her attention to Charlotte."How's your car by the way? I'll take it that it's irreparable?"Charlotte made to speak up when Ted Price cut her short."Have you told Liam we'd like to visit him in prison, as a group?" "Visit who in prison?" This voice suddenly boomed through the hall. And they fastened their eyes to the door, where they saw someone clad in an expensive suit.He had gained more weight and was ba

Later that afternoon, Liam invited the press corps over because he knew it wasn't over until his name was cleared. "What do you have to say about those photos, Mr. Price?""All fake, I never went to any prison," Liam lied, and then he maintained eye contact with Avery who in turn popped the buttons of a remote, and images were displayed on the LED TV. "I was in Tuscany, getting to know the place as I was to have my own winery there." Liam explained, "I wanted to know if my business could survive there. Because as it is known by everyone, research is required to devise strategies."The images on the screen showed Liam on a strawberry farm, and then a few more fruit farms with the locals. He was dressed like a farmer. Unbeknownst that it was actually Avery who went to Tuscany under Liam's name. She was the one in the pictures, and she edited the pictures herself and put Liam's face in place of hers.People believed this upon seeing the pictures. "So you mean someone was trying to rui
The Ingenious Liam Price 152: Unexpected News
"I can't do this anymore," Stevie-Lou took a step back from Liam, with her eyes glassy with tears."Are you breaking up with me?" Liam could feel his heart clenching tightly in his chest."It's something I should have done a long time ago," she was quick to catch a tear drop before it could slip down her cheek. And so she dried her eyes with the back of her palm before sniffing.Liam clenched his jaw. Indeed his feelings for her weren't the same as before, but he still cared deeply for her. "I just returned last night and we've not had the chance to talk things through. Don't do this," his voice came out ragged as he pleaded."Oh, I will," Stevie-Lou's voice was firm this time."Don't do this," Liam filled the space between them."Your life is already too complicated. You have your business to run which takes all your time. Never-ending enemies who keep attacking from every angle, a baby on the way with your not-so-ex-girlfriend. And this Avery woman who's like your backbone."Tearing
The Ingenious Liam Price 153: Meeting Charles Harrington
"This way," Liam was ushered into Charles Harrington's villa immediately after the dangerous-looking bodyguards searched through his body to know if he was carrying a weapon of any sort. As trailed after the butler in front of him, he noticed that these burly bodyguards were at his back, following suit. Their hands secured guns, something which indicated that they wouldn't hesitate to shoot if they sensed danger. The place wasn't safe at all for Liam, still, he wasn't afraid of anything or anyone. Charles Harrington sought his presence, that was the reason he showed up there alone, without bringing Big Tony along with him.They reached the garden after a short walk, there the gray-haired man was seen pruning the rose bushes with his gardening shears. He even had a farmer's hat on.The sight made Liam go down the memory lane of the time he worked as a Gardener for the Brewer family. "You sent for me," It was Liam's own way of announcing that he had arrived."Yes, you came quicker than
