Chapter 85 Arranged for Them Properly
After hesitating for a few seconds, Gaspard could not calm down as he watched Liam’s gaze still fixated on Emerald Trails Project. He quickly went up while rubbing his hands to cover up the anxiousness in his heart. The cold sweat in his palms made him lose his grip on his hands, making him even more anxious.
“Mr. Luther…” Gaspard felt nervous and could not even think of trying to utilize their relationship. He had changed the way he addressed
him directly.
“Have you truly taken an interest in Emerald Trails Project? Our company sent someone to do a field study a few days ago.”
“Oh? Is it so?” Liam, who was initially silent, suddenly said. This made Gaspard’s body shudder.
“Yes, yes. But we found out about Emerald Trails‘ true condition. It is unlike what we are seeing right now.”
Gaspard kept talking while slowly taking a step back from behind Liam. He lightly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead at an angle Liam
would not see.
“There is a difference: isn’t it just regular conditions?” Liam said and suddenly turned around. He could see Gaspard sigh with guilt and
huff in his mind. He wanted to see what fantastic tricks this self–proclaimed father–in–law of his speech could do.
However, when he thought about it, it was amusing that such a person was Gwyneth’s father. As he thought about Gwyneth, Liam looked to the other side longingly.
Instead, a voice rang in his ear, “A little difference is normal, but the difference in this Emerald Trails Project is worlds apart.”
Gaspard allowed himself to keep talking. Regardless of how it was, he could not let Liam invest in the Emerald Trails Project. No matter what, he must deter Liam’s thoughts. Judy, who had rushed to his side, heard Gaspard’s words. In a few sentences, she understood what
he meant.
She quickly walked to Liam’s other side. She started to help Gaspard persuade him. “Liam, this Emerald Trails Project looks fancy but is not useful. There are other projects, so why don’t you look at them?”
Now it had become a tag team between the father and the daughter. Liam could not help but let the corner of his lips twitch upwards. However, this smile did not reach his eyes. Following Judy’s participation, Elizabeth, originally by Liam’s side, suddenly lost her position.
She had looked around for a moment. By the time she had regained her senses, there was no space left on the left and right of Liam. On one side was Gaspard, while on the other was Judy. They had occupied those spots tightly. When she took another look at Liam, it
seemed like he did not even care if she existed by his side or not.
After having her thought drift for a moment, she was shoved away by Judy’s shoulders and squeezed out of their group. Initially, she felt a little aggrieved but was now lit up by fury. Elizabeth had always wanted to pretend to act gentle and ladylike in front of Liam but now…
Elizabeth gritted her teeth uncontrollably and was about to prepare to move forward and pull Judy back. In the end, before her hand could stretch out, she was grabbed by force from behind and directly brought away from the crowd. Her heart tightened, and she almost screamed out. However, she turned around and saw the person was Kingsley.
“Sh…” She saw Kingsley do a keep quiet motion. He grabbed Elizabeth’s wrists forcefully and moved across the crowd. Even if Elizabeth
was upset deep down, she did not break free.
After a while, they arrived at a relatively quiet corner. Then only did Kingsley reluctantly let go of Elizabeth’s hand. The expression on her face relaxed after surveying around, and she did not see a glimpse of Liam. Her lips were tightened while disappointment and grievance filled her face.
However, at that moment, only Elizabeth knew that her expression was 30% true while 70% was fake. Obviously, such a silent expression made Kingsley feel distressed for her.
He moved his arm but still did not make a move. Ultimately, he took half a step forward and went to Elizabeth’s ear to say, “Don’t worry, Elizabeth. I have already arranged for them properly regarding the matter you requested.”
Originally, Elizabeth was conflicted with having Kingsley so close. However, when she heard those words, her spirits were raised. She turned to the side to look at him. Her eyes were wide to confirm again, “Really? You have arranged for them?”
“Yes, you can rest assured. Once that woman walks out of the auction event, someone will be waiting for her.” Kingsley replied.
She knew too well what Kingsley meant with his words and what he wanted to express. Her initially depressed mood was instantly gone.
Seeing Kingsley’s look of asking for praise. Elizabeth huffed in her heart. “Who would have known that this person has some ability and capability to do this.”
At that moment. Elizabeth was elated deep down. She did not know that Liam, on the other side, had already noticed her disappearance. Although, on such an occasion, nothing would really happen. Besides, if something happened here, it would have caused a commotion.
However, speaking of this, he was the one who brought Elizabeth. Objectively speaking, he did not want to have something happen to her. His eyebrows were lightly furrowed, and he started to look around while staring at the spot.
