"Ladies and gentlemen," Mr. Williams announced over a microphone, smiling excitedly. "The auction is about to start, so if you can take your seats, we will begin shortly." He continued.Hearing the announcement, the attendees quickly walked to their seats, and sat down, murmurs and whispers of excitement filling the lobby.The auction had been delayed for so long, so it was expected that everyone would be this excited after hearing that the auction was finally going to start, after they had waited for so long.For some attendees, it wasn’t just about the items themselves, it was also about showing off their wealth and status.These wealthy individuals relished the opportunity to show off their riches and compete with each other for the most expensive bids. To them, the auction was not just an event to satisfy their own desires but also to establish their dominance over their peers. Liam’s lips broke into a faint smile as Mr. Williams announced the start of the auction. After the long
Madison's fingers glided sensually along Liam's arm, sending a shiver down his spine. "You know, Liam," she purred, leaning in intimately. "Whether it's the art or the company, I can't deny the pleasure this auction brings me."Startled by Madison's touch, Liam instinctively considered moving his arm away, but the sensation was too pleasant to resist. "I'm glad you're enjoying yourself," he managed to reply.Madison's seductive smile widened as she playfully fluttered her eyelashes at him. "I must admit, your confidence is rather appealing," she whispered, her gaze lingering on him. "Though it's a bit risky not bidding on anything. You might miss out on something truly extraordinary." Liam returned her smile, his voice smooth and composed. "I'll bid when I come across something that truly captivates me."Madison teasingly replied, "I'm sure you will." and then she planted a kiss on Liam's cheek. Meanwhile, at that same time, outside the hotel.The assassin the governor had hired, to
Taylor and Vanessa, on the other hand, were impressed by Liam after he bid so much money. In the past, they used to look down on Liam and call him names because he was a loser. But now, after they had witnessed him spend a million dollars, their impression of him drastically changed. For him to be able to spend so much money on a watch, it only meant that he must be exceptionally wealthy.And now that they knew, they regretted that they had been looking down on him and insulting him. They just wanted to befriend him. After all, having a rich person like Liam as a friend would be beneficial to them in countless ways."Not fair, guys, you two had made a deal with Liam." Taylor suddenly spoke up all of a sudden, trying to impress Liam by acting like she was on his side.Vanessa chimed in. "The two of you should live up to the deal," She said in a gentle voice, glancing at Liam with a soft expression. "Liam honey, don't worry, they'll do it." She added.Liam, Erin, Brian, and Alex were ta
With Liam winning the bid against the governor for the yacht, the auction finally came to an end, and all the attendees were leaving the hotel.However, Liam didn't leave yet, as he had a chat with Mr Williams and Jason. The three of them talked about business for a while,, and by the time he had decided to leave, it was in the evening.Getting outside the hotel, he walked to the parking lot where his Rolls-Royce was parked, with his driver waiting for him. As he got closer to the Rolls-Royce, the driver bowed respectfully as he opened the car door and held it for Liam.Liam was about to proceed to the Rolls-Royce and get in, but he suddenly stopped, noticing that something about his driver was strange. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was something off about the man standing before him. If he remembered correctly, the driver was slightly shorter and had a more muscular build, unlike the notably tall and plump man standing before him.Raising an eyebrow suspiciously, Liam dir
Liam looked at the assassin lying unconscious on the floor, as he wondered what he was going to do next. He wanted to question the assassin and get the name of the person who had hired him, but since the man was unconscious, there was no way he could talk to him.He had thought about waiting until the man regained consciousness but he couldn't afford to stay in the parking lot any longer, as someone might walk in the parking lot, and see him standing over an unconscious man. And that might raise a couple of eyebrows and questions, which was something he couldn't afford at the moment. Liam signed as he thought about a plan. He knew that he couldn't just leave without getting the name of the person who had sent the assassin after him. Even though he suspected that the governor might be responsible, he still needed to confirm it from the assassin.Dragging the assassin into his car and questioning him when he wakes up seemed like a possible option, but Liam quickly dismissed the thought
Seeing his driver abruptly point a gun at him, Liam was very shocked by the driver's action. The suddenness of the driver's actions made him very confused, and he wondered what was going on in the driver's head at that moment. What made his driver suddenly point a gun at him?"What's the meaning of this?" Liam asked, his voice calm but filled with anger, as he looked at his driver with both a confused and displeased facial expression. He just couldn't fathom what was happening, and why was his driver pointing a gun at him all of a sudden? Was this some kind of sick joke?But even if it was intended as a joke, it was not a funny one because Liam didn't find any amusement in having a gun pointed at him. He felt like the driver was taking it too far when he pointed a gun at him. a and he couldn't help but feel angry because by pointing a gun at him, the driver was displaying a lack of respect towards him, whether it was intended as a joke or not.Despite Liam's question, the driver contin
"Whoa, boss, take it easy," The driver pleaded, his eyes fixed on Liam as the gun remained trained on his head. He was praying that Liam doesn't pull the trigger. Still pointing the gun at the driver, Liam coldly glared at him, his cold gaze sending chills down the man's spine, "Seems like the tables have turned," Liam remarked with a cold edge to his voice, his gaze not moving from his target.The driver's expression quickly turned into one consumed with fear, as he watched Liam aim the gun at him. What scared him the most was Liam's dead serious expression. "Sir, please, don't do this, I have a family." The driver pleaded as he trembled in fear. The atmosphere inside the car only tensed with each passing moment."You should have thought about that before deciding to betray me." Liam replied, his tone cold as ever.Seeing how the man trembled in fear, a glimmer of empathy briefly touched Liam's heart. He almost felt sorry for the man, who was now at his mercy, however after remembe
Letting out a sigh as he proceeded inside the manor, Liam made his way towards the staircase, his mind yearning for a moment of peace and relaxation in his bedroom, after the stressful day he had. But as he was walking, his progress was halted as someone grabbed his arm."Hey, leaving so soon?" The person asked from behind him. Liam frowned slightly, not liking that someone had stopped him from going up the stairs to rest.As Liam turned around to look at the person who had stopped him, he was taken aback by the sight of Karen standing before him. She looked as elegant as ever, wearing a dress that accentuated her stunning appearance. Karen was already beautiful, but in that dress, she was absolutely breathtaking."Hey, Karen." Liam greeted her nicely, and he couldn't help but admire her beauty. He had never looked at her in such a way, so he found it strange that he was looking at her in such a way now.Karen smiled a hint of excitement in her eyes. "Hi, I hope you don't mind me thro
