Chapter 231
Renee gasped. She was afraid that Liam might actually lose control and beat Stefan up. There were somany people around, and they were both from respectable families – it wouldn’t look good if anythinghappened.novelbin
Renee quickly stood up to drag Liam back, but Leia stopped her. “Don’t worry, Renee, you know mybrother won’t do anything stupid. Just wait and see.”
“You’re right…” Only then did Renee sit down.
Liam was Master Osborne, a famous elite in Beach City. He was known for his intelligence, and manybigshots had been punished by him for misbehaving. He definitely wouldn’t do anything stupid!
When Stefan saw Liam walking over, his expression remained blank and he acted as if he couldn’teven see Liam.
Xavier, who was much more straightforward, stood up and glared at Liam.” What’s your problem?” Heasked in an unfriendly tone.
Liam smiled. “No need to get riled up, mate, I mean no harm. On the contrary, since you’re all older,I’ve always looked upto you. Fate brought us together today, so I was thinking of having a few drinkstogether and making some new friends.”
Xavier was very annoyed. ’Don’t make it sound like we’re that much older. We’re barely a few yearsapart.”
On the other hand, Christopher was much friendlier. He pointed at the empty seat next to him. “MasterOsborne, you have a good reputation. You’ve managed to elevate the Osborne family to greater
heights, and my father always has good things to say about you. I’ve long wanted to make youracquaintance. Please take a seat.’
“Thank you, Mr. Jacobs. It’s my pleasure.” Liam sat next to Stefan with the bottle of wine in his hand.
It was undeniably an awkward situation.
Everyone knew that Liam had been closest to Renee after she and Stefan got divorced. In fact, the twohad even been photographed together at the gynecology department, and people suspected they weregetting ready to have children together.
Now, Renee’s ex-husband and current boyfriend were sitting next to each other… It felt somewhat likea battlefield.
Xavier continued to defend Stefan. “Christopher, why are you being so nice? He’s Renee’s boyfriend,and he probably made her cheat on Stefan. It’s taking all my willpower to not beat him up!’
‘Don’t make jokes like that,” Christopher scolded Xavier, then turned to face Liam. “I’m sure you andRenee are purely a couple. It’s not as complicated as we imagine, right?’
Liam chuckled. “You’re funny, Mr. Jacobs. We’re a couple… How can anything be pure? I’ve made myfeelings for Renee very obvious, and there’s nothing pure about it!”
After Liam said this, everyone looked at Stefan. However, Stefan took a sip of alcohol without sayinganything. He didn’t seem to care at all.
“Christopher, you heard what he said. He’s clearly here to provoke us. I think you-” Xavier startedheatedly, but stopped when Christopher sent him a warning glare.
Christopher might seem like a handsome and quiet person, but he was ten times more aggressive thanStefan when he was angry.
Although the Jacobs family wasn’t one of the eight most powerful families in Beach City, the family hadbeen involved in politics for generations. They had connections that spanned far and wide in thecountry’s politics, so he was definitely someone you didn’t want to piss off!
Since Christopher had welcomed Liam to the group, Xavier would be disrespecting Christopher if hekept threatening Liam.
Finally, Xavier decided he would just shut his mouth and watch the show!
