Turning to Piper, he said to her. “Look, you have to leave this place immediately. You're creating a scene here. This is a restaurant area and I don't want Miranda's customers to have a bad impression about this place." “I don't care what her customers think. Did you not see how she slapped me? Someone who's my younger sister had the nerve to slap me." Piper was still so furious. She didn't get the chance to slap Miranda back.In fact, if Liam didn't come there in time, she would have torn Miranda into tiny shreds.How dare she slap her?“Can you blame her for slapping you? You provoked her, that was the reason for the slap." "In fact, you deserve to be arrested for laying such accusations against her and Mr Sawyer.” Liam continued but Piper rolled her eyes at him."Move.” She yelled at Liam. "My business is not with you because you know nothing about making money. My business is only with that bitch.”"You are the bitch, not me.” Miranda fired back from where she stood. Her words
Miranda casted him an unsuspecting glance and nodded her head. "Sure.” She muttered. However, Liam didn't hear her because he was already on his way outside the restaurant."Hi, Sean. You would have implicated me just now.”"I'm so sorry about that, Sir. It was not my intention.” Sean replied innocently.“I called you to inform you that your wife has agreed to start up her own firm. At first, she was thinking that there was an ulterior motive behind everything but I had to convince her otherwise.”"Ok, that's good. In fact, we are together now and were having the discussion when you called.”"Oh, I'm sorry for interrupting you guys.” Sean apologized genuinely. "It's fine. Wait for my call later.” Liam replied and ended the call.He sighed deeply and went back inside the eatery. However, his wife was no longer sitting on her chair. Miranda has gone behind the cash register. She was going through the sales."Oh, we'll talk later then. I have to head out right now.” Liam said to her and
Liam was going to visit his father while Sean wanted to take his family to the zoo.“Alright then, let's head out together.”The two men made their way to the elevator together.As soon as they came down from the elevator, Liam said to Sean with his hands stretched. “Thank you once again." While they shook their hands, Liam heard footsteps and turned around to see Jane in the company of a man."You can go ahead now, I'll see you on Monday." Following the direction of Liam's gaze, Sean saw the lady as well and turned back to Liam with a smile."Of course, I'll go ahead right now." Sean began to leave the place while Liam directed his gaze at Jane once again.The latter was no longer comfortable at the sight of Liam.As she strolled out of the place with her right hand locked with the man's hand, Jane became very conscious of her environment.She'd often steal a glance at Liam while pretending to be listening to her partner's conversation.When the man noticed her discomfort, he paus
When Liam came down from the car, he went to hail a cab that will take him to his father's villa. He just wanted to see his old man and find out how he's fairing.Liam hasn't called him yet to inform him. It was going to be a surprise visit.When he alighted before their villa, his eyes scanned the place and he smiled in satisfaction. Everywhere looked just like he remembered from many years ago.When Liam got to the gate, the security stopped him. He was new and didn't know who Liam was.“How can I help you, Sir?" The man asked politely and Liam smiled at him.“Well, this is my home. I came to see my father." The guard was dumbfounded. He opened his mouth and stared continuously at Liam before asking.“I don't understand. If this place is your home, how come I haven't been seeing you around?" “That's none of your business." Liam replied immediately and got the man more stunned.He scrutinized Liam again before saying to him. "I'm sorry, Sir. I have to get confirmation from my boss
It was a maid at the door of the study. She came to inform them that David Sawyer was around.He just came and was on his way to meet his brother at the study. David was almost a regular at the villa and the staff already knew him.They knew that he was the brother of their boss. However, they were yet to comprehend why the brothers were not always getting along. They heard that their boss was richer and that the brother was somehow dependent on him.“Who is it?" Bruce asked as he made his way to the door.When he opened it, he saw a maid standing there.“Sir, Mr. David is on his way here. I thought I should let the boss know." “Ok, ok. Thank you for the information. You can go now.”From inside the study, Richard overheard the maid and turned to Liam in a serious gaze. "I don't want David to see you here. Quickly, go into my private chamber and wait there. No matter what, do not come out.”Liam nodded his head and followed Bruce's direction. He got into his father's private chamber
Richard had never been rude to his brother. In fact, he tries to get along with him but David was taking advantage of him.He'd always come and ask for money and Richard would be forced to give him. However, it was becoming too much and he could no longer take it.“Dear brother, it hasn't gotten to that.” David replied and began to pace around the study. He suddenly stopped before the door of the private chamber and turned to ask Richard.“May I use your restroom? I think I'm pressed.”"No, don't…" Before Richard could stop him, David had already opened the door but was interrupted by Bruce.The latter was back with a wine glass.“Sorry for taking so long, Mr. David. Here's the glass you asked for.”Bruce went ahead to pour some drink for David but he was stopped.“Don't worry, I'm already on my way out.”David, who had wanted to use the restroom, changed his mind. He walked up to his brother and patted him on the back."I know that you'd never turn your back on your only brother. I'
At the Westons' villa, Lady Mary was already fuming. However, Piper's anger was more pronounced.If she had the chance, she'd have beaten Miranda to a pulp. If it weren't for her husband, she'd have beaten Miranda blue and black.She had the nerve to slap her. Piper was also sure that she was planning something.Angrily, she rose to her feet and joined Lady Mary in the pacing.“Miranda is certainly up to something. I think we should call her parents and talk to them. They need to speak with their daughter.” Piper suggested and the others quickly agreed.“Yes, call Eric and Patricia immediately. They have to speak with their daughter and find out what she and her worthless husband are up to.” Manuel added.Even though they were seeing Liam as a good for nothing son-in-law, they could not deny the fact that he has some influence on his wife.It seems like Miranda now listens to her husband more than her family.Without another word, Lady Mary dialed Manuel's number and he picked up almo
Without another word, Miranda angrily jolted up and began to leave her parents’ presence.“Miranda, are you walking out on us? We're not done here. I said, come back here.” Patricia barked but Miranda didn't listen to her."There's nothing more to talk about, Mom. I'm already so exhausted and don't want any more stress.” Miranda replied while making her way to the kitchen.Liam was fixing dinner for them. He was making a pot of cheese pasta and beacon.Miranda assisted him but said nothing to him. Liam understood her mood and didn't probe her to speak.When Miranda walked into the kitchen, he expected his mother in-law to follow behind while nagging her. Surprisingly, she stayed back in the sitting room.Just like Liam thought, Patricia had wanted to run after Miranda but her husband held her back.When the couple were done in the kitchen, they made their way to the dinning hall to eat their simple dinner.From where Liam sat, he lifted his head and saw Patricia's burning gaze on him.
“I can't believe that you just said all that, Dad." Miranda voiced out in confrontation as she glared at her father, still shaking her head.“We both know that you've never done anything to stand up for me before. This isn't the first time they're treating me badly but you never get to do anything." Eric turned to stare at his daughter before replying.“You're my daughter and there's no way I'll let anyone treat you badly.”“It's just that you only listened to Liam and decided to go against your family. Why do you have to steal the contract that belonged to the family company?" With her mouth open Miranda gaped at her father and turned to look at Liam.Her father's words were nothing to write home about. How can such a man be her father when he doesn't even see that she was being treated unjustly by her own family. The family of her uncle.Eric's words sounded like he was supporting his brother and the family. That was really unfair.“Are you really my Dad?” Miranda questioned when
"Don't listen to them. Now that I'm here, they can't do anything to you anymore.” Liam assured her while tucking some of hair behind her ears.As the couple stood there conversing, they pretended not to notice the people glaring at them.Piper, Allison and their parents were visibly fuming at that moment.“Liam, are you deaf? I said you should get the hell out of this place." Lady Mary barked at him.“Yeah, you heard lady Mary. Leave this place immediately." Piper added.“Ofcourse, I'm leaving with my wife. Moreover, who wants to stay in such a place that only gives off negative energies." Liam left them dumbfounded with his response. He scrutinized everyone and turned to his wife.“Come on, Mira. Let's get out of here." With her left hand tucked into his arm, Liam led the way as they started towards the door.As the couple walked out of the place, Piper and her family were completely speechless.While they were headed to the door, they heard fast footsteps behind them. Before they
Miranda would be going to the Villa to see the Old Lady and he needed to be by her side, supporting her and preventing her from being bullied.Swiftly, he commanded the driver. “Take me out of here, immediately." Liam dialed Miranda's number and it kept ringing without being answered.At that moment, he believed that Miranda was already at the Villa.“Hurry up and drive me out of here." When Liam left the place, Neo was still lying on the ground. For a while, he remained at the place and could not move.Neo was still trying to comprehend what just happened.Liam beat him up like a child and he could not fight back.He couldn't even lay a hand on Liam throughout the fight. It was just like Liam was invincible.His thoughts kept drifting away in search of the solution to his current predicament. What was he going to do with Liam? And who was Liam, anyway? The man who just beat him up and walked away freely.He even has some men with him who looked like they were taking orders from h
Neo was no longer taking the kidnap seriously because he saw Liam. He believed that everything was a joke.With his hands on his waist, Neo stood face to face with Liam and began to laugh.“Wow, Liam. I'm really happy for you at your new job. You didn't tell me that you joined a circus." “Seriously, I must commend you on this new feat." Neo ran his eyes around all of them at the place. He returned his gaze back to Liam and continued to tease him.“This costume you got is really dope. It looks so different from the regular circus costumes." “Tell me Liam, what is the name of your group and what do you guys do?" Liam remained silent and only watched Neo continue to make a fool of himself.He then turned around and glanced at his guards before turning his face to meet with Neo's gaze.When he saw that no one was saying anything, he kept a serious expression and inquired.“So tell me, Liam. Why have you brought me here? Is there something you want from me.”"Yes, I want something from
Everyone in the car got ready for the action ahead. They were waiting for Neo's car to drive by.Neo, on the other hand, had no idea that he was being targeted.As usual, Neo got into his car and was about to start it. Unfortunately, he did not inspect the car before getting into it.Well, that has never crossed his mind before because he felt he had nothing to fear.As soon as he was about to start the car, he noticed that someone was in the back seat. The man was wearing all black clothes and also had a mask on.He pointed a gun at Neo and he was about to yell but was shut up.“If you shout and draw attention here, I'll blow your brains off. Think about it before making your next decision." The man threatened him in a very serious voice and Neo saw that he meant business.He was so in trouble. Who could have sent someone after him?As Neo's thought about the situation, he could not place his hands on anyone who he had offended.Carefully, he tried to reach for his phone while askin
For a moment, Liam said nothing. He was thinking about what his wife just said.It was a ploy and he was sure of that. They might try to get her to transfer the project funds to them.Moreover, she was only one person and they were more than one.What if they convince her and were able to change her mind.Liam was the only one standing by Miranda's side. Even her parents could not do anything for her.They were like Lady Mary's puppets, doing what she told them to do.Liam reached out and took Miranda's hand, locking their hands.“Don't worry, they won't be able to do anything to you. No matter how hard they try, they'll never succeed." Liam assured her and she nodded her head.She was grateful for having someone like Liam in her life.“Just let me know when you'll be going over to the Villa.”"I will.”Miranda's intention was to go over later in the evening.After they were done at the place, everyone dispersed except the couple.Liam had spoken with Bruce the previous night and he h
If Lady Mary does pick Miranda's call, they'd be busted. Miranda would find out about their lies.The Old Lady was never sick. The sisters had to make the story up at that time.They wanted to get Miranda to come over to the Westons' Villa.If she comes, it would be easier for them to convince her to hand over the project to Top Notch.When the phone rang many times and no one picked, Miranda stopped calling and glared at her cousins before commenting.“She didn't pick the call, I might go and see her later." Miranda was left with no other choice but to agree to go and see Lady Mary.Piper and Allison sighed in relief when they heard the words.“You two can go now, I don't have any business with you anymore.”Although the girls were angry at Miranda's insolence, they were able to pull themselves together and made their way to the car.They kept cursing her in their minds and wished that those guards didn't show up.Piper and Allison would have pounced on her with the anger that was i
“Alright, we'll talk soon." Liam replied back at him and patted his back.“You can go now." While Sean drove off, Liam went back to join the others. They took time going through each of the buildings that it was almost lunch time and they were not yet done.Liam went closer and whispered to Miranda. “It's almost lunch time, let me go and get something for us to eat.”"Why don't you wait so we can go together?” Miranda suggested but Liam insisted.“Don't worry, I'll be back before you know it. I'll also buy something for everyone so don't worry about them.”Liam began to walk out of the place but Miranda called him back. She opened her bag and took out some money.“Here, buy lunch with this. I'm sure you don't have enough money to buy for everyone, so use this." Liam stared at her for a while and shook his head. “You don't have to worry about the money. It's just lunch for a few people's mouth and I can afford it." When Miranda tried to insist, Liam told her not to worry and began t
"What? How is that possible?” Miranda could not believe her ears nor her eyes.How could Mr Sawyer just give her a Van when she was just doing her job. All he owed her was to provide the funds for the project.How come he was giving her company a Van?“He noticed that you didn't have a car so he felt it was necessary to get one for you. At least, for the cause of this project." Miranda would not have believed everything that was happening if she hadn't gotten the funds.She would have thought that everything was all a dream.About 80 percent of the funds have been transferred to her so she'd be starting the project immediately.Without another word, Miranda covered her mouth and walked over to inspect the Van.It was a new one, big enough to contain all of them.“Wow! Wow!! Wow!!!" As she inspected it, she could not stop expressing her shock.Lifting her face, she glanced at her employees who were still standing at the place waiting for her orders.“Mr Sawyer got us a Van, go ahead
