Chapter 144 Will Love Disappear?


    Chapter 144 Will Love Disappear?


    Ste''s face turned pale as she quickly lifted up his t-shirt to check his injuries.


    Sure enough, there was a noticeable mark on his lower back.


    "It''s red!" She rubbed it with distress and then looked at Mia.


    "Mia, look! Jericho beat him up like this!"


    Jericho never expected that Mia, who was just showing affection towards him a moment ago, suddenly


    changed and red at him as if she were a different person.


    "That''s right. Why did you go so hard on him?"


    "Mia." Jericho looked innocent. "You were on my side..."


    "On your side for what?" Mia put her arm around Ste''s shoulder. "My Ste is upset! Go buy some


    medicine for Liam!"


    Jericho widened his eyes.


    Her Ste?


    She called him "her Jericho" just now!


    Did this mean that her friend was more important than him?


    So, would love disappear?


    Jericho stood still in a daze. He suddenly lifted his eyes and met Noah''s slightly smug expression.


    "Well, Mr. Hart, could you do me a favor and buy some medicine for me?"


    ......


    At six o''clock in the morning, Jericho not only bought the medicine but also brought back breakfast for


    them.


    After he diligently set the table, he opened the balcony door and handed the medicine to Noah, gritting


    his teeth and sneering.


    "Why did you have to put an act after I kicked you? Were you messing with me deliberately?"


    Noah smiled. "You tter me. I just wanted to give you a taste of your own medicine."


    Jericho rolled his eyes.


    Such a small injury didn''t need medicine at all. Noah put the ointment aside.


    Ste and Mia happily ate their breakfast, while Noah and Jericho leaned against the balcony railing


    and looked inside, wearing the same smile on their faces.


    "Hey, let''s talk about something serious." Jericho''s expression turned serious.


    Noah was taken aback. "What is it?"


    "Give me a cigarette first."


    Noah red at him.


    Jericho gestured for him to hurry up and take it out.


    With a sneer, Noah reluctantly took out the remaining half pack of cigarettes from his pocket - it was


    one of the few he had left.


    He took one out for Jericho, and then the two of them hid in a corner of the balcony, out of sight of


    Ste and Mia, and quickly lit their cigarettes.


    "What''s going on?" Noah frowned. "You don''t even have money to buy a pack of cigarettes?"


    "All my money is with Mia." Jericho replied frankly, "There''s no budget for cigarettes in the pocket


    money she gives me."

    "Oh." Noah nodded, his gaze filled with sympathy.


    Compared to that, Ste was much kinder to him, never caring about his expenses and even giving him


    money to buy things.


    But when it came to cigarettes, Ste was more strict.


    So he was struggling with this half pack...


    Jericho wanted another cigarette, but Noah suddenly opened his hand and put the cigarette back in his


    pocket.


    "You better get down to the business!" He whispered, "Otherwise, they''lle looking for us soon!"


    Jericho was helpless. He took onest drag and looked at Noah. "Zander contacted me these past few


    days."


    Noah''s eyes darkened.


    "He didn''t contact me for anything else, just asking where you were. Howe he didn''t hear about


    your return to Emberfall?"


    "I came back secretly." Noah said in a low voice, "Besides, I only stayed for two days. It''s normal that


    Zander doesn''t know."


    "Alright." Jericho nodded. "I didn''t tell him anything else. I just said you were not in Bramore and I still


    needed to continue searching for your specific location."


    Noah patted his shoulder.


    "Also, I found out something else."


    "What?"


    "They are secretly training Liam to imitate your every move. From clothing and appearance to behavior


    and even small gestures and micro-expressions, Liam is made to do everything just like you."


    Noah''s expression changed slightly, and he was lost in thought.


    He had already anticipated this.


    They had finally captured Liam, a valuable pawn, so they couldn''t easily waste it.


    "It seems like they really want him to rece you." Jericho yed with the lighter. "When I mentioned


    that you were not in Bramore, Zander''s smile was strange."


    "My Uncle Christopher has always wanted thend in the western suburbs of Emberfall." Noah


    pondered. "But he doesn''t have enough money, so it will be very difficult for him to take on this project."


    "If they can mobilize the financial groups in Bramore at this time, it would be easy for my Uncle


    Christopher to obtain thatnd."


    "So..." Jericho frowned slightly.


    "So, if I''m not mistaken, my Uncle Christopher wants Liam to sign on my behalf and obtain the money


    from the financial groups in Bramore!"


    Jericho was enlightened.


    He thought that once Zander captured Liam, he would immediately take action against Noah. So during


    the time Noah was away from Eldoria, he didn''t feel at ease leaving Ste alone at home, which was


    why he came here with Mia.


    Now it seemed that Zander wasn''t foolish enough to directly kill someone, but instead used Liam''s face


    to deceive everyone he could.


    "Jericho." Noah smiled slightly. "You said that I wasn''t in Bramore, which actually helped me a lot!"


    Jericho was a smart person and quickly understood the meaning behind Noah''s words.


    "If the real Noah isn''t here, they can send a fake Noah. After all, your five major financial groups are all


    foreigners and can''t see the difference between you and Liam!"


    Noah sneered. "Then let''s do as they wish!"


    "But once Liam arrives in Bramore..." Jericho smiled. "We can catch him like a turtle in a jar!"


    ......


    The board meeting of the Taylor Group was held as scheduled. Ste stepped into the building, took a


    deep breath, and walked straight to Henry''s office.


    Before the board meeting, she had to talk to Henry.


    Henry was preparing meeting materials and was slightly surprised when he saw her.


    Ste didn''t call him "father" but politely addressed him as "Mr. Taylor."


    Henry frowned.


    Ste pinched the documents in her hand and ced them all in front of Henry.


    "What does this mean?" Henry''s expression suddenly changed.


    The documents clearly stated the return of shares, with Ste''s signature below.


    Since the moment she found out she wasn''t Henry''s biological daughter, she had decided to sever all


    ties with the Taylor family.


    "I came here today to return these shares." Ste enunciated clearly, "Mr. Taylor, I believe you should


    know that... I am not your biological daughter."


    Henry''s face became even more unpleasant, and his fox-like eyes stared intensely at Ste, filled with


    Ste''s heart thumped. Beforeing here, she had thought of two possible oues.


    One was that Henry would ept her request to return the shares, and from then on, she would


    However, this possibility was very low.


    If Henry had known long ago that she wasn''t his biological daughter but still wanted to give her shares,


    then there was something suspicious that she needed to understand.


    So returning the shares was just a pretext.


    What she actually wanted to test was Henry''s attitude!
