Liam strode overb, /bsuppressed his anger, and said in a low voice, “I gave you the shares even if you lied to me. Why did you undermine the cooperatio between the Stars Group and the Cole Greup?”

“Gave?” After a snort, Mia said with contempt, “What did you give me? Those shares are mine. Your business shrinks, and the profits fat sharply. The wholepany is leaderless, so isn’t the right choice to kick the Cole Group out of the project?”

Since Aria left, the Cole Group had been taking steps backward. At the thought of the departing employees, Liam sneered. “Because you tured those technicians away.”

“After you got what you wanted, you still yed the dirty tricks behind my bback/b. I was wrong about you. You are narrow–minded and selfish, You are bfar /binferior to Hannah. Fortunately, I saw through you before you could ruin the Cole Group

Hearing this the others were agape in shock. Aria opened her mouth before the sullen Johnny defended her. “Liam”

In contrast to the emotional Liam, Aria remained calm and scoffed, “I wouldn’t have chosen you if I had known that you are to foolish. I shouldn’t have wasted my time saving you.”

Liam also regretted his marriage to Aria, and his expression froze at herst sentence. “When did you save me?”

Aria remained calm and said ndly, “No, I didn’t save you. I saved a stray dog”

Liam choked with anger. He thought, “I fool offended, but I shouldn’t. She didn’t save me, sol shouldn’t get angry”

He turned to Johnny andined, “Mr. Oconnorb, /bbyou /bare supposed to meet me at 9:00. It is ten o’clock now Is this how the Stars Group entertains its guests?”

Johnny raised his eyebrows. With a smiling faceb, /bJohnny replied in a cold tone, “Mr. Cole, what a misunderstanding! You said that you wanted to meet me at 9:00, and I didn’t give my agreement, did 17”

Yesterday, Liam and Johnny had encountered each other at a business gathering. Before they bid goodbye to each other, Liam mentioned that he would pay a visit to the Stars Group for the project. Johnny gave no response, so Liam mistook that for tacit consent.

Liam thought, “Why didn’t he make himself clear since he isn’t interested in cooperation? He bis /bmaking a fool of me.” bInstantly/b, his expression turned

grim.

Liam felt enlightened when he noticed that Johnny protectively stood by Aria. He said disdainfully, “Aria, how impressive! Youpletely bewitched the

Born with a silver spoon, Liam had ba /bhandsome face, and his life was smooth. Therefore, he was proud and never bowed his head.

It bwas /bimpossible for him to coborate with Johnny after Johnny responded to his sincerity with a contemptuous look.

“I won’t pester you since the Stars Group isn’t interested in cooperation. Aria bis /bnow a murder suspect band /bba /bscammer of the case from two byears /bago. With her in your bproject/b, can you maintain the good reputation of the Stars Group?”

Then, Liam straightened his back and walked away proudly. Thanks to Liam’s reminder, the others looked at Aria withplicated emotions

One shareholder said, “It’s alright to cancel the cooperation with the Cole Group, but keep it a secret that A is the Group

Johnny frowned. “If that is published, the rumors about fraud will cease!

What about the murder charge?

“Given the statement of the Saxons family, theizens won’t be convinced

If we make an announcement.” Silence fell,

“You don’t have to tell the world about my role in thispany.” Aria didn’t want to make things difficult for the shareholders. She funded the stan Group, but that was all.

Johnny disagreed. “No…”

“I will solve the problem, Just give me some time,” Aira said.

Johnny fell silent. In the end, he nodded and said, “Okay, you are the boss.”

The crowd dispersed. Aria followed Johnny to his office and gave him several resumes. “These technicians just let the Cole Group, and I want you to recruit them. Talk with them in person.”

Johnny took the resumes and bnodded/bb, /b“Okay,”

Aria was ready to leave since she had achieved her goal. Right then, Johnny called, “Madelyn, bwe /bare here for you even if the Saxon family disowned you.”

Gazing at Aria’s back, Johnny sternly thought, “You wouldn’t be disappointed if you didn’t reunite with them. The Saxon family is blind.”

“Yes. You personally fed me the inhibitor, so I wasn’t fooled,” Liam responded.

That day, Liam was infected with ba /bvirus, became unconscious, and was carried to a waste incineration nt.

He wanted to call for help but couldn’t open his eyes or make a sound. Hearing the people around him talking about burning him, he was in despair.

Liam remembered Hannah’s voice, and never would he forget that his savior was Hannah. Hearing Liam, Hannah agitatedly gripped her phone.

Hannah collected her thoughts and said, “Since A already hooked up with Johnny, the Stars Group won’t let the Cole Group join the project. It is said that the Shaw bGroup /bis also interested in your chips.”

“It is,” Liam replied.
