Sunniva's retort was a hair's breadth away from calling the guy out for the troublemaker he was.However, he had come to stir up trouble, and then, thrown by Sunniva's tough stance, he was at a loss for words."Damn, you witch, you're just dodging the bullet. No matter how you spin it, you can't hide the fact that your company's drugs are a mess!" the burly blond man shouted, anger boiling over as he swung a heavy hand at Sunniva's face.It was clear he would put his full strength behind the blow, enough to send her teeth flying if it connected!Nobody saw the attack coming, and the security guards froze while the women employees gasped and screamed in shock."Stop right there!"Just as the slap seemed destined for Sunniva's cheek, a chilling voice echoed from the company's entrance in the nick of time. Everyone turned to look and saw Liam, exuding authority, marching in.Liam's expression was icy, his presence commanding as he strode up to Sunniva. He glared at the burly blond
He himself was no stranger to a fight, and the fact that he could not even get up after being knocked down meant that Liam was also a skilled fighter.With that realization, the man's eyes filled with caution as he looked at Liam and began weighing his options.He was there on Jameson Green's orders from the Jade Lotus Pharma Group to stir up trouble at Bristow Group since the two were rivals. That was why he had been sent to cause a scene.Having accepted Jameson's money, he knew he had to deliver. His reputation for reliability was on the line. If he failed, how would he ever hold his head up in Drunham City again?In a flash, Newlin, the man with blond hair, had a plan. Ignoring the sharp pain wracking his body, he pushed himself off the ground, clutching his stomach and fixing Liam with a venomous stare. He roared, "Who in the world do you think you are? Do you have any idea who I am? Damn! Guys, let's take this punk down. Don't hold back! I've got your backs!"With Newlin's o
That no-nonsense, action-first attitude was downright impressive, a stark contrast to the male employees who scurried away, hoping to avoid the fallout.Sunniva was momentarily stunned by Liam's abrupt move. However, as she snapped back to reality, she stepped forward from behind him, her pretty face etched with annoyance.She shot Liam a frown, her eyes brimming with disapproval. Liam had many strengths, but his hot-headedness was not one of them. He acted first and thought later.The troublemaker had come looking for a fight, and then, thanks to Liam's impulsiveness, they were in a bind. If that incident blew up, what then?Sunniva's eyes flashed with irritation, and Liam could only offer a helpless shrug in response. Meanwhile, Newlin had finally grasped the situation. He clutched his swollen cheek, his face flushed with fury, and his eyes bloodshot and seething as he glared daggers at Liam. Newlin was livid. For a seasoned, tough guy who had been running the streets of Drun
Newlin was livid. If he did not put that twat in his place, he would lose all respect. He would be the butt of every joke!With that, Newlin's face twisted with rage as he bellowed, "Damn it!! Get him! Take him down! Break his limbs and toss him in the river for the fish!"However, what Newlin did not realize was that his face had swollen up like a balloon from those slaps, and his mix of fury and embarrassment made him look downright ridiculous, like a clown, setting off a wave of laughter from the security guards and employees watching the scene. Meanwhile, a few quick-thinking guards rushed to Sunniva's side to shield her. Even with Liam there, they could not afford to be careless. If those hotheads actually lost it and injured Sunniva, they would be toast. As Bristow Group's security, failing to protect their own CEO would mean kissing their jobs goodbye! The thugs hesitated, their faces a picture of uncertainty, not daring to make a move. However, Newlin, unable to contain
Liam's voice dripped with contempt as he dropped the baton and casually brushed off his hands.Everyone watching was stunned, their eyes wide as they took in the sight of Liam, while Newlin and the others on the ground were a mix of fear and rage.He was just too strong.No one caught how he did it, but in a flash, the goons were down for the count!The women employees could not hide their admiration, gawking at Liam with unabashed stares.Liam, no stranger to being the center of attention, calmly turned to the security guard, who was still in shock, and said, "Snap out of it, will you? Call the cops!""Uh? Right, right!"The guard finally got the message and dashed off to make the call.Newlin, sprawled on the floor in agony, glared at Liam and spat out through clenched teeth, "You know who I am, kid? I've got powerful friends. Mess with me, and Mr. Green will make you pay!"Liam just raised an eyebrow and grabbed a stun baton from a guard. With a swift move that left the cro
That was why Ivar colluded with Jameson Green, General Manager of Jade Lotus Pharma Group after he came to Drunham City. The mess that Newlin and the others stirred up that day was what he agreed with Mr. Green as well.His original plan was to have Newlin and the others come to the company to create trouble for Sunniva, and then he would use that to talk bad about Sunniva in front of the board of directors. He refused to believe that those old timers on the board would hold back on targeting Sunniva.By then, Sunniva would surely leave the Bristow Group in Drunham City. The entire company would be Ivar's when that time came.It was initially all planned, but Liam's sudden appearance messed up all of it for Ivar.Newlin and the other seven people were all taken care of by Liam himself.If Ivar wanted to continue attacking Sunniva, he had to first get rid of the trouble that was Liam.Hearing Ivar's criticisms gave Sunniva a little headache. After all, Ivar was right. Liam indeed
If Ivar took it up to the board of directors, Yousef would certainly find out about it. Liam and Yousef were already at odds with each other because of the matter regarding Yankel. Yousef would take this chance to give Liam a hard time.Liam saw that Sunniva looked torn, and then he looked at how aggressive. He sneered and walked up to Ivar calmly before he asked, "Are you done talking, Mr. Nicoson?"Ivar was instantly infuriated. Pointing at Liam, he looked at Sunniva and asked, "Look at him, Ms. Bristow! See for yourself. This is the bodyguard that you hired. Where is his manners? I'm the deputy manager of the company, yet this is his attitude when talking to me? "Listen to me. For the sake of the company's future, I absolutely won't allow an employee who doesn't know his place to exist! You have to take care of this seriously. If you're not willing to take care of it, I'll have no choice but to get the board of directors to handle this."Seeing that Sunniva still did not move a
Sure enough, Ivar's expression became incredibly sour as soon as Sunniva said that. He was always been unhappy that he was just a deputy manager who was overshadowed by Sunniva at every turn, to begin with. The fact that Sunniva just reminded him so bluntly to not forget his place made him feel even more bitter.Because of that, Ivar was even more certain that he had to first get rid of Liam, and then drive Sunniva out of Drunham City Bristow Group.That way, the company in Drunham City would be his."I don't care! You have to fire Liam!" Ivar shouted furiously.Liam—who just walked out of the office—heard him shouting. He put on a faint smile as he did not take that seriously at all. Instead, he put a hand in his pocket, sat down on his seat at a leisurely pace, and started reading a magazine that was on the table.Whatever that happened in the office was out of Liam's hands. After all, he was just Sunniva's bodyguard. His main job was to make sure Sunniva was safe. Everything el
