Chapter 16
I knew Liam wouldn’t agree.[]
He knew perfectly well that the shares and the money were the reasons Hannah was with him.[]
Sure enough, there was silence on his end for nearly five minutes.[]
Finally, Hannah couldn’t take it anymore and burst out indignantly, “Claire, that’s an outrageous demand.“[]
“Do you have any idea how hard Mr. Moore worked to build this company to where it is today?“]]
“You just snap your fingers and expect to get half the company? Don’t you think that’s a bit much?“|[]
couldn’t be bothered to call her out on her true intentions.[]
I replied calmly, “Liam, we’re both adults. We should both know that you can’t have it all.“[]
“You want to get what you want without losing anything. Why should you be the only one to get a deal like that?“[]
“Think about what you want to do. I’ll give you three days.“]
With that, I hung up.[]
I thought Liam would give up, but that evening, I got another call from him.]]
He said half was too much. Could he give me twenty percent instead?[]
I told him flatly that half meant half, not a single percentage point less. If he couldn’t do that, he shouldn’t call me again.[]
But this whole thing made me wonder.]]
Liam seemed to genuinely not want to break up with me.[]
But why?
Wasn’t he the one who wanted to break up in the first place?[]
At the restaurant, he had said he was worried about what people would think. But I was the one who had initiated the breakup. And that reason alone shouldn’t be enough to make him go to such lengths.[]
But I didn’t dwell on it.]]
Soon, three days had passed, and Liam still hadn’t contacted me.[]
The project was wrapping up. On the day it was successfully completed, Olivia threw a celebration dinner for us.[]
At the party, everyone forgot about the stress of work and let loose.[]
By the time I got home, it was past midnight. I washed up and had just drifted off to sleep when I got a call from Liam.[]
Chapter 16
Annoyed at being woken up, I was about to hang up.[]
But my eyes were blurry from the alcohol, and I accidentally hit the “answer” button.[]
“Hello, is this Mr. Moore’s girlfriend? Mr. Moore is very drunk at our bar and refuses to go home. We found your number in his phone. We’re worried something might happen. Could you come pick him up?“]
I sobered up a bit.[]
“Sorry, you should call someone else.“]
“But Mr. Moore insists that you have to be the one to pick him up. He also said that if anything happens to him and you don’t come, you’ll be the one responsible,” the person on the other end said anxiously.]
I had to laugh. I sat up. “Fine. Send me the location.“[]
I glanced at it.
Then I directly dialed 911.]
