Chapter 319
She did not expect Liam to leave with a cold expression just as she sat next to him.
“Mr. Remus, I need to talk to you.”
Liam stopped walking and stared daggers at her. “We have nothing to talk about.”
“How is there nothing? You want Remus Corporation, while I want revenge on Silvia and Neil. Why do we have to fight each other? Wouldn’t it be better to work together to achieve our goals?”
Liam laughed with disdain. “Why would I want to work with you, a woman who just wants to crawl into another man’s bed? Do you think I’ll give you a chance?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ada walked to his side and whispered, “In any case, we’re bound together. Working together is the best option.”
“No, thanks.”
Liam left without giving her another chance to speak. This infuriated Ada.
While they were having dinner, Abalene spoke with a serious look on her face, “Liam, since you’re engaged to Ada, you should get along with her from now on.”
Liam smirked sarcastically. “I understand.”
Abalene then turned her attention to Ada. “I don’t care whom you wanted to marry before. From now on, you need to remember that you’re Liam’s fiance. If I find out that you’re up to something behind my back, I won’t let you off the hook!”
Abalene’s words were harsh, and Ada’s face turned white. It took her a while to lower her head and say, “I understand, Madam Remus.”
This old hag. What was she to tell her whom she could marry?
Out of the corner of his eyes, Liam saw Ada’s fingers turning white from her tight grip on her chopsticks. He sneered internally.
She could not even handle this, yet she wanted to work with him. She would only be a burden.
Everyone was rather quiet around the table. After dinner, the few of them got ready to return home.
Just before they left, Abalene packed a lot of snacks for Silvia, which annoyed Ada again. She did not care for those things, but Abalene’s favoritism was driving her nuts.
She sulked the whole way back.
“What are you angry about? Do you feel like Grandma’s picking favorites?” Liam teased.
“Shouldn’t I be angry? Not only was Madam Remus mocking me, but she was mocking you too. If she really cared about you, she would’ve given me the same things she had given to Silvia.”
Liam tightened his grip on the steering wheel involuntarily and sneered. “You don’t have to sow discord between us. Grandma gave me Harmony Yard. It’s not your place to judge if she
cares about me or not.”
“Hah. I’m sure you know which one between Harmony Yard and Remus Corporation is worth more. If you inherited Remus Corporation, we could build ten Harmony Yards.”
The moment she said this, the white BMW came to a halt at the side of the road.
Liam grabbed her by the chin with an icy gaze. “Ada, I think you’re tired of living. Do you really think I won’t lay hands on you?!”
Ada glared at him and abruptly laughed.
“Did I hit a nerve, Liam? Why would you
be so angry otherwise?”
Liam let her go and laughed it off. “It doesn’t matter if you’re right.”
“Whatever it is, I hope you’ll be like me and place yourself in the right position. After all, you have nothing but the Harmony Yard that Madam Remus promised you.
“Besides, Harmony Yard won’t be yours until Madam Remus passes away. There isn’t even a will in place. Who knows if she suddenly changes her mind?”
Liam’s pupils contracted, and he radiated a menacing aura.
“I hate little know–it–alls.”
Ada smiled. “Mr. Remus, would you like to work with me? Take your time to properly consider it.”
