    Chapter 16 This is My Woman


    Both of them were momentarily stunned.


    Liam signaled to Ste with his eyes, asking her to stay in the room while he went to open the door.


    Aiden stood outside anxiously.

    "Liam, I heard that you beat a few people..." Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the


    bloodstains on Liam''s body and couldn''t help but gasp. "My god, it''s true!"


    "They were just a few thugs." Liam said indifferently, "Besides, I didn''t beat them too severely. They


    won''t die."


    "Not severe?" Aiden pulled him aside and whispered, "You ruptured their internal organs! We need to


    send them to the hospital in Eldoria now!"


    Liam''s brow twitched, but he was still expressionless.


    They asked for it because they harassed Ste! It wouldn''t be excessive even if they were beaten to


    death.


    "Oh, and did you break the leg of one of them?" Aiden was bing frantic. "Do you know who his


    father is..."


    "What does it have to do with me?"


    "Hey, they will definitely seek revenge on you!"


    Liam took off his shirt, threw the bloodstained clothes aside, and took out clean clothes to change into.


    He knew that those few people had a powerful background. They were the son of a vige chief and


    the nephew of a town mayor. They relied on their family''s influence to act recklessly in the viges.


    He had wanted to deal with this group of people a long time ago.


    "Listen, why don''t you leave with your wife and find a ce to hide?" Aiden suggested, "Those people


    are not easy to deal with. A wise man doesn''t fight when the odds are against him. Don''t confront them


    head-on!"


    Liam found him annoying.


    Just as he was about to refuse, he caught a glimpse of Ste standing at the bedroom door.


    "I don''t think... we need to hide," she whispered.


    Liam was stunned and then asked her with great interest, "Why?"


    "It''s not our fault." Her eyes were firm. "Those few people openly harassed me. They were the ones


    who made the mistake first. We were just defending ourselves!"


    Liam looked at her admiringly. He didn''t expect her to appear gentle and weak on the surface, but deep


    down, she was independent, strong, and brave.


    He smiled.


    "I know it''s not your fault!" Aiden said helplessly, "But their families have power and influence..."


    "I don''t care about their so-called power and influence." Ste smiled lightly. "Besides, even if they


    have power and influence, they can''t act unreasonably, right?"


    "Well..."


    "Yeah, my wife is right." Liam stood beside her. "This is what my woman should be like."


    Ste blushed slightly and lowered her head.


    Aiden sighed. "You two..."


    "Alright, thank you for your concern." Liam patted his shoulder. "Do you want to stay and have a meal


    with us?"


    Aiden quickly waved his hand and said goodbye to them.


    Although Liam wasn''t afraid of those people causing trouble again, he considered moving out of this


    vige.


    Today, when he fought with those thugs, they must have realized that he wasn''t the same Liam as


    before. He might get into trouble here, and his identity might be exposed one day.


    So it was best to leave as soon as possible.


    ......


    A few dayster, Ste moved to Eldoria with Liam.


    When Liam discussed moving with her, she had some doubts. But his reason was that there were more


    development opportunities in Eldoria, and it would be easier to get a job, so she didn''t say much.


    Moreover, in the city, she would be closer to the hospital, making it more convenient for her to take care


    of her mother.


    They rented a small house. Although it was not big, Ste cleaned it throughout and bought new


    curtains and bedding.


    The dining table was covered with a green checkered tablecloth, and the ss vase on the windowsill


    held a few sprigs of lc.


    Liam looked around and remembered his past life.


    The vi of the Martinez family, covering tens of thousands of square meters, was built along the


    mountainside. It was as grand as a castle, and every corner was luxurious.


    His every meal used to be prepared by top chefs from different countries.


    But none of itpared to this ce, to this neat and cozy little sanctuary, to the simple meals cooked


    by Ste.


    "What''s wrong?" Ste looked at him with her bright eyes. "Do you not like the food?"


    Liam smiled slightly. "It''s good."


    "Then eat more." She negotiated with him. "By the way, Mia helped me get a job, doing sales at the


    samepany she currently works at. I can start working tomorrow."


    "So soon?" His gaze froze. "Is thepany floated on the stock market? What is its annual sales


    revenue? Who is the boss?"


    A series of questions left Ste stunned.


    She hadn''t inquired about all that yet. Besides, she was just a low-level salesperson, earning


    "Well... I''ll ask them after I start working."


    However, on her first day of work, she never expected her supervisor to be Daniel rk!


    That morning was extremely difficult to endure. During the meeting, she always felt Daniel''s gaze


    intentionally shifting toward her. As soon as the meeting was over, she wanted to escape the


    conference room but was stopped by Daniel.


    "Ste!"


    Ste''s body stiffened, and she forced a smile as she turned around.


    "Long time no see." Daniel put away hisputer and walked toward her. "I haven''t heard from you


    since graduation. I didn''t expect us to meet at the samepany. Isn''t it fate?"


    Ste felt a bit awkward.


    Daniel was her senior in college, who had passionately pursued her at that time. However, she firmly


    rejected him.


    One reason was that her mother was still ill, and she had to take care of her family, so she was


    overwhelmed.


    The other reason was that Daniel just wasn''t her type.


    It wasn''t that he was unattractive, but he was too scheming. In the student union, he was the best at


    catering to those in power and belittling those beneath him. This made her have no good impression of


    him.


    "Mr. rk." She said softly, "If there''s nothing else, I''ll go deal with my work."


    "Hey, don''t be in such a hurry!" Daniel grabbed her arm.


    Ste dodged to the side, keeping a distance from him.


    "Ste, why are you so distant from me?" Daniel smiled. "Don''t call me Mr. rk. It''s better to call me


    by my name like before!"


    "Since I work in thepany now, it can''t be the same as school." Ste maintained herposure.


    "It''s better to call you Mr. rk. That''s more appropriate."


    Daniel squinted his eyes. He liked this about her, understanding the rules, knowing when to advance


    and retreat, and having a good sense of propriety in everything she did.


    Moreover, after graduation, she seemed to have be prettier...


    Daniel felt that he was turned on.


    "Ste." He intentionally got closer to her. "If you don''t understand anything about the business, feel


    free to ask me. The door to my office is always open for you..."


    Ste huddled against the conference table, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, she heard a sharp


    voice from outside.


    "Daniel, so you''re here!"


    A woman dressed beautifully and alluringly stood by the doorframe, crossing her arms in front of her


    chest. "Isn''t that Ste? Humph, so you''re talking with Daniel here. Why didn''t you invite me?"
