Chapter 105 Liam is Dead


    Chapter 105 Liam is Dead


    He remained silent, his breathing bing heavier.


    His phone buzzed, and an email came in.


    He flipped through the information.


    As he suspected, Jericho had a grudge against the real Liam in the past.


    "Master Noah." Andrew continued on the other end, "When Jericho was eighteen, he was imprisoned


    for intentional injury and was sentenced to ten years. However, due to his good behavior in prison, he


    was released two years early."


    "These past two years, he has been flourishing in Eldoria, taking over several major gangs. But there


    are also rumors that he rose to power by inciting those big shots and secretly getting rid of them, which


    was why he became influential."


    Noah furrowed his brow, gently massaging his temples.


    "Now Jericho has many bars and nightclubs under his control, but they are all just a front. He is


    involved in illegal activities."


    Noah asked in a low voice, "What was his situation in prison?"


    Andrew coughed lightly twice. "He used to be a leader in prison. It is said that even among inmates,


    there are different levels. Someone like Jericho, who was sent to jail for murder and injury, is highly


    respected by other inmates."


    "As for Liam... he was a rapist and the most despised."


    "What?" Noah was very surprised. He had taken over the identity of a rapist!


    "Wasn''t he just an ordinary thug who knew how to fight?"


    "Master Noah." Andrew smiled bitterly. "How could an ordinary thug be imprisoned and released so


    many times?"


    Noah furrowed his brow, his temples throbbing even more.


    "Liam was a habitual offender. It is said that the youngest girl he vited was only sixteen..."


    Noah took a deep breath, exhaling heavily.


    How disgusting!


    Not only did Jericho look down on Liam, but he despised Liam even more.


    Fortunately, Liam was already dead.


    "Master Noah, it''s best for you to stay away from Jericho. He has some influence now. Although it''s not


    rules. If by any chance he..."


    "Alright, I understand." Noah knew what Andrew was going to say.


    If Jericho intentionally caused trouble because of his past conflicts and contempt for Liam, it would be


    easy for Jericho to realize that Noah and Liam were not the same person at all.


    Right now, Noah wasn''t afraid of anything else. He was only afraid that Ste would find out.


    Although she would eventually find out that he was Noah, he wanted to exin it to her slowly. Before


    that, there must not be any idents.


    Noah hung up the phone, took a towel, and wiped himself off before walking out.


    Ste was already asleep, lying on the bed with her arms spread open, one leg curled up and the other


    stretched out, upying the entire bed.


    Noah smiled. His wife''s sleeping posture was indeed not beautiful.


    But he just liked it.


    He walked over gently and pecked her forehead, covering her with the nket. Then he quietly turned


    back to the living room.


    Thend acquisition n for the Martinez family in the western district of Emberfall was only halfway


    through. Currently, he needed to find a way to attract funds from Mintwale to facilitate the project


    together.


    However, Sir Martinez, who was naturally suspicious, had always been on guard against his


    grandfather''s family and was unwilling to cooperate easily.


    Noah pinched his forehead, opened hisputer, and continued working on the proposal.


    After an unknown amount of time, he straightened his body and wanted to pour a ss of water but


    suddenly noticed Ste standing at the bedroom door, groggily looking at him.


    "Darling, what are you doing?"


    Noah was startled but remained calm as he closed theputer.


    "I couldn''t sleep, so I got up to watch the news."


    "It''s the middle of the night... Is there news to watch?"


    "It''s some old news from before. I''m bored, so I''m just casually browsing."


    Ste nodded. Feeling still sleepy, she leaned lightly against his shoulder.


    Noah embraced her, his nose rubbing against her thick, long hair, the faint fragrance in her hair


    refreshing his mind.


    If it weren''t for considering her period...


    Noah took a deep breath, desperately suppressing his desire.


    Lately, he was bing more and more sexually impulsive.


    "Darling." Ste''s voice was soft and sweet. "There''s something I want to discuss with you."


    "What''s wrong?"


    "My dad talked to me once. He wants me to work at the Taylor Group. He said the sry he could offer


    is three times higher than here, so I won''t have to worry about my mom''s medical expenses anymore."


    Noah frowned, and a hint of darkness shed in his eyes.


    Henry was an old fox, and his intentions were far from being as simple as they appeared on the


    surface.


    "What do you think?"


    Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    "Me?" Ste smiled, seeing through it all. "Do you think my dad is so kind to let me go back? He never


    fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, but now he suddenly wants me to work at the Taylor Group. Isn''t


    that strange?"


    Noah''s knitted eyebrows gradually rxed, and he smiled.


    He knew that his wife was clever and not easily fooled, nor would she be blinded by so-called "family


    ties".


    "What he loves most is the power he has." Ste continued, "But recently, Amelia has been dishonest,


    which made him wary. By asking me to go back, he''s just giving Amelia a warning, letting her know that


    besides her, he has the other daughter."


    "Perhaps, if we think even worse of him..." Ste curled up, her chin resting on her knees, her big eyes


    twinkling.


    "He wants to sit back and watch us fight. Ha, he just wants to use me to restrain Amelia."


    Noah was taken aback and then chuckled.


    "Do you really think so?"


    "Yes." Ste looked up at him. "Darling, will you find me terrible because I think of my father so cold-


    blooded?"


    "No." Noah shook his head, his expression gentle and calm. "I''m relieved."


    "What?"


    "I''m relieved that you can think this way. It means that you''re smart and not just an innocent girl." His


    voice grew low and deep. "It also means that you can take care of yourself. So even if one day I''m not


    by your side... you''ll still be fine."


    Ste took a moment to react and suddenly felt that something was wrong with what he said!


    "Darling, what are you talking about?" She anxiously held his hand, her big eyes staring at him. "What


    do you mean by that? Are you... leaving me?"


    Noah''s heart tightened, and he forced a smile.


    Ste noticed that he still had the red string tied around his wrist.


    "Do you really believe what that olddy said?" she asked in a low voice.


    "I..." He licked his lips, unsure of what to say.


    The problems between the two of them would eventually surface like an iceberg hidden beneath the


    water. He would do everything to protect her, but he couldn''t guarantee that he could still hold her in his


    arms like he did now.


    "I''m just being cautious." Noah chuckled. "Didn''t the olddy say that we would be separated?"


    "But she also said that we would eventually be happy together!"


    That was the difference of Ste. She was like a sunflower, always able to see the bright side.


    But Noah''s inherent pessimism, caution, and vignce were engraved in his blood and bones. No


    matter what happened, he always prepared for the worst.


    "Yes, we will be happy." He smiled and rubbed her hair. "Let''s not talk about this anymore. We were


    discussing your decision about going back to the Taylor Group, right? I want to hear what you''ve finally


    decided."
