Chapter 231
Enter title…
Renee gasped. She was afraid that Liam might actually lose control and beat Stefan up.
There were so many people around, and they were both from respectable families – it
wouldn’t look good if anything happened.
Renee quickly stood up to drag Liam back, but Leia stopped her. “Don’t worry, Renee, you
know my brother 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 many bigshots 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’t even see Liam.
Xavier, who was much more straightforward, stood up and glared at Liam.” What’s your
problem?” He asked 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 drinks together 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 years apart.”
On the other hand, Christopher was much friendlier. He pointed at the empty seat next to
him. “Master Osborne, 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 your acquaintance. 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 two had even been photographed together at the gynecology department, and
people suspected they were getting ready to have children together.
Now, Renee’s ex-husband and current boyfriend were sitting next to each other… It felt
somewhat like a 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 and Renee 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 my feelings 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 saying anything. 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
started heatedly, 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 than Stefan when he was angry.
Although the Jacobs family wasn’t one of the eight most powerful families in Beach City, the
family had been involved in politics for generations. They had connections that spanned far
and wide in the country’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 he kept threatening Liam.
Finally, Xavier decided he would just shut his mouth and watch the show!
