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.
The next Monday morning, Liam made his way to work at LR real estate. As soon as he got into his office, he put a call through to the manager at Diamond bank. It was the bank where Jane worked before and he got her fired some days ago. Liam and Miranda had discussed that she'd go and borrow some money from the bank. The call went through and the bank manager, Mr Carlos picked up immediately.“Hello Mr Sawyer. To what do I owe this pleasure?" Mr Carlos had saved Liam's number after the first day they met. He was feeling so excited as he answered Liam's call.Indeed, it was an honor to be called by the richest man in Dublin city.“Hello, Mr Carlos. I need you to do something for me." Liam went straight to the point. He didn't want to waste any time in asking for what he wanted the man to do for him.For all he knows, Miranda could already be on her way to the bank."I'm listening, Sir.”"My wife is coming to borrow some money. Approve the loan immediately and send her the amount she
While the man was pulling over, he was hoping that the deranged lady would not run off with his money.Surprisingly, Miranda handed a note to him and came down from his car.“Thank you." She said to the man who nodded and zoomed off.Miranda walked into the bank premises and made her way inside.She remembered that her friend used to work at the place but had just been fired.Miranda wished that there was a way she could help her friend get her job back.As she marched into the banking hall, Miranda located the receptionist and walked up to her.“Good morning, Ma'am. Where can I find the office of the manager?”The young lady at the reception scrutinized her before asking politely. "What do you need the manager for?”She had seen how elegant Miranda looked. From what the receptionist observed, Miranda must come from a wealthy home. And she looks like a successful business lady.Miranda was putting on one of the special dresses Liam got for her, and even the jewelry. She was yet to fi
While her assistant went to get lunch for her, Kimberly approached the diner. She was putting on a dark shade.When she walked into the place and sat opposite Miranda, she was expecting her to take off the glasses but she didn't.Kimberly still wore her sunglasses inside a shade. That was when Miranda knew that something was wrong.Her sister was always a cheerful person because she married a rich man. Moreover, her in-laws were not disturbing her.Kimberly believed that she had no problem in life as long as her husband was rich and kept giving her money.“Kim, what's the problem? Why do you look like you got into a fight with someone?" Miranda was curious and stared at her sister with furrowed brows.She stretched out her hands to take off the glasses but Kimberly slapped her hands away.“Why won't you take off the glasses?" Kimberly said nothing and Miranda believed that it was a sign for her not to remove the glasses. She tried again but her sister still refused to let her take of
Liam believed that it was just the beginning of Kimberly's misfortune in her husband's house.Bernard had lost a few deals and took it out on Kimberly. He was frustrated and Kimberly got in his way so he beat her up.Kimberly had known that her husband had a beasty part but she chose to stick by him because of his wealth.“I'll be right back." Miranda swiftly stood up from her seat and made her way out of the diner. She was hoping to meet her sister outside.Surprisingly, she was still in her car.Kimberly had rushed outside when she saw Liam walking into the restaurant. However, she decided to stay a little longer in her car.Moreover, she had no idea where else to go. Who would she moan her grievance to?Miranda rushed to her car and opened the door of the passengers' seat. She got in and got Kimberly giving her a confused look.“What are you doing here?" Kimberly asked her. “Shouldn't you be with your doting husband? Perhaps, you can watch him while he enjoys his lunch." “Come on
"You'll have to quit that job of yours and join me. What do you think?” With a bright smile on her face, Miranda waited in expectation for Liam's response.She hoped that he'd not turn her down. Liam would surely make a great assistant or even partner.Liam gave her a loving stare and squeezed her hand before replying. “Anything for you, Mira. For the sake of my love for you, I'd do just anything." Miranda was speechless. She only blushed a little and turned her face away for a while.She fed her eyes with the views at the streets they passed by. After a moment of silence, Miranda turned her face around and her eyes met with Liam's doting look.“I mean every word I just said. I'd do anything in my power to make you happy." Liam continued and got the cab driver eavesdropping. He was stealing glances at the couple from his rearview mirror and smiling to himself.The man was admiring the love Liam shared with his wife. However, he didn't interfere. He just kept calm and let the couple b
“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
