Mia looked over at Liam, a smirk tugging on her lips. "Not so fast, handsome." She said, her tone a little playful. "Information like that doesn't come cheap." She added, her gaze lingering on Liam.Liam furrowed his brows in annoyance. He should have known that she would not give him the information for free, and she would want something from him in return. "What do you want, in return for the information?" He asked, his voice strained. He wa ready to pay whatever amount she might want, for the information that would bring his enemies down.Mia leaned in, her hand abruptly reaching out to touch his arm on the table as she said. "Well, I could think of a couple of ways you could pay me back." She said playfully. "And it's not by money." She added, her tone teasing.Liam quickly retracted his arm, feeling a mixture of annoyance and awkwardness at her advances. "Not interested. So can you, stop that?" he asked, his voice firm.ed.Liam knew what she was trying to do, and this was not the
The sound of his alarm blaring the next morning jolted Liam out of his sleep. He groggily reached over to turn it off, his mind still fuzzy from lack of sleep.Sighing heavily, Liam rubbed his bleary eyes and sat up in bed, letting out a groan of exhaustion. It had been a long night, and Liam knew he had only managed to get a few hours of sleep at best. Nevertheless, he had work to do, so he removed the covers, slid out of his bed and walked to the shower. Liam quickly showered and got dressed, taking whatever time he could to freshen up before the day's tasks began. After he was done getting dressed, he left his room and went downstairs to the dining room.As he entered the room, he pulled out a chair for himself and sat down, running a hand through his messy hair. It wasn't until he had poured himself a cup of coffee that he noticed Karen and Megan walking in."Morning," Karen greeted him with a smile, she noticed his eyes looked tired, and asked "Liam, you look like you barely slep
Liam darted his eyes from his cell phone and swiveled towards the voice. When he laid his eyes on the person who had interrupted him, a frown slowly made its way to his face. The person he was looking at was none other than his foster cousin Henry. Liam couldn't believe his bad luck for running into Henry. To make matters worse, Henry had his longtime girlfriend, Keisha, with him. And the two of them used to make fun of him back then, when Liam lived with the steinfeld.Liam sighed inwardly, deciding to just ignore the two of them. He returned his gaze to his cellphone. He knew that Henry and Keisha wanted to humiliate him In Front of everyone, and he was not planning on letting it happen.Frowns settled on Keisha and Henry's faces, seeing Liam ignoring them as if they were not even there. "What do you think you're doing here loser?" Keisha asked icily.Liam glanced at her with a casual expression as he replied. "None of your business." He knew they loved making fun of him, and making
Some of the charity attendees were enjoying the drama unfolding so much that they didn't want to enter the hotel, before they could see how the drama was going to end.After Mrs Carol gestured for them to come over, The security guards didn't hesitate before approaching the woman. "How can we help you ma'am?" One of them asked professionally.Ignoring the security guard's question, Mrs Carol looked over at Liam coldly. "Liam, do yourself a favor, and kneel before me, lick my shoes and ask for forgiveness." She ordered him, smirking at the thought of humiliating him in front of the crowd.And she was sure he would do what she had said in fear of getting beaten up by the security guards. The Liam she knew was a scared cat, and he would do that without a second thought. She knew how much Liam was afraid of security guards, and he would do anything to make sure he didn't get into trouble with them.But only if she knew how much Liam had changed. He had gone from the poorest person on ea
When Jason came outside the hotel, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, when he saw the two security guards he had stationed on the entrance laying on the ground. The other one looked knocked out unconscious, while the other one clutched his leg in pain. With a surprised expression, Jason looked at the crowd of attendees that were gathered."Can you tell me what took place here?" he inquired with a curious stare. However, he was already aware of the circumstances, despite seeking information. Earlier, while he was at the hotel, he had monitored the CCTV footage and was surprised to see a man fighting his security guards.Seeing this as the perfect opportunity to get Liam kicked out, Mrs Carol gave Liam a cold stare, before she shifted her gaze and looked at Jason. And then she approached Jason Williams, saying. " Jason Williams, thank goodness you're here in time, dear." Her voice was even more polite than usual, and Jason could tell that she was about to tell him to do something. J
Mrs Carol couldn't believe the disrespect she was getting from Jason at the moment, and it was all because of Liam. She gave Liam and Jason one last glare, before storming off, with her son and her son's girlfriend trailing closely behind her. Liam watched with satisfaction as Mrs Carol, her son Henry, and Keisha, her son's girlfriend, left. With them gone, he knew he could finally have some peace now.The attendees who had been watching the commotion, had disdainful expression's as they looked at Jason and Liam. They couldn't believe Jason would let a rich person like Mrs Carol leave, all for a poor person like Liam. According to them, Mrs Carol had the potential to buy a lot of the things at the auction, while Liam couldn't afford anything. So he was useless compared to Mr Carol Steinfeld.Liam noticed the disdainful looks, the eyerolls and the mean words that were being thrown his way by the attendees, but he chose to not heed to it and just ignore them. He knew they were giving h
Clinton looked at Liam's watch in his hand, admiring it. "Cool watch." He said.Liam smiled faintly and took a sip of his wine as he replied. "Thank you." "How much did it cost?" Clinton asked. He and Liam were wearing the same brand of watch, the only difference was that the one Liam was wearing, was more expensive.Liam glanced at his patek Phillip watch and replied with a shrug. "I don't know, maybe 55 million?" Clinton's eyes widened in surprise, taken aback by the amount of money involved. "Wow, that's a lot of money." He said, a little astonished. He then glanced at the items on display and commented in amazement, "Mmm, that's an impressive sculpture."Liam smiled faintly at him and took a sip of his wine. He could tell that the man was very eager to start a conversation with him, but Liam wasn't that interested, because he found him a little strange and weird.Suddenly Clinton abruptly stretched his arm to shake Liam's hand. "We didn't properly Introduce each other, did we?" H
"I suggest you watch your back, boy!" Mr Langdon threatened, and then turned around to walk away from Liam, but before he could take a step, Liam tapped him on the shoulder, stopping him in his tracks. Turning around, Mr Langdon glared at Liam.Liam made eye contact with Mr Langdon. "Oh, by the way, Mr. Langdon," He said, his voice low, and a small smirk tugging on his lips. "Just to let you know, I know about your little side business. The one that's been operating illegally behind the scenes." Liam took a small pause, his gaze steady on Mr. Langdon's face, and then his gaze drifted to the Media and the paparazzi in the lobby, who were taking pictures.Mr. Langdon tried his best to hide his shock. But his heart raced with fear and frustration. How did Liam find out about his illegal drug business? How much did he know? It scared him, to know that Liam knew so much about him.Liam continued, "And I'm sure the media would love to know about it too." he said, the smirk on his lips growi
