I pretended not to hear him. However, I felt a tight grip around my chin the
next instant.
“Open your eyes.” His voice was cold and commanding.
I did as he said, albeit reluctantly.
“Look at me.”
I refused to meet his gaze. “Just do whatever it is that you want…”

Liam tightened his grip on my chin so hard that it made me grimace in pain. I
cast a glare in his direction.
“You should be looking at me. That way, you wouldn’t be thinking about some
other men.”
I snapped at him, “Were all of your women thinking about other men while
they were in bed with you?”

My question prompted Liam as the man got on top of me and stripped me
off.
Finally, when he was done, Liam carried me into the bathroom and washed
me himself.

He’s being strangely gentle today. It’s probably because the company stocks
plunged when news of the scandal came out.
I was still feeling wary even after Liam had put me back in bed. He said, “Get
dressed and come out for dinner.”
It was almost eight at night when I entered the dining room. On the balcony,
Liam was having a smoke as he spoke on the phone.
Before I knew it, I had tiptoed over and stood next to the balcony entrance to
eavesdrop on him.
“I’m staying over at the company for the night… No. I don’t even want to hear
her name. It’s all because of her that the stocks are dropping… You should
Chapter 52 My Sweet Vivi
rest early. Good night.”
I treaded quickly and quietly toward the dining table and took a seat. Then, I
took out my phone to check the news.

“L.M shares dropped more than 5 percent at the close of today’s session. The
company lost a market cap of nearly 80 billion dollars!”
Apart from the news about Liam’s company, I could also find more and more
news about the scandal on the internet.
Is Anna still trying to circulate the news online? She would usually stop by
now…
Suddenly, someone yanked the phone out of my hands.
Liam sat in the chair next to mine. He turned off my phone and put it down on
the table. “Don’t use your phone for the time being.”
“I haven’t agreed to your conditions.”

“I’ll have to force you then.” He gave me a sidelong glance and scooped
some fish onto my plate.
I took a piece of lotus root and had a bite. “I don’t want any of your shares.
However, if you insist on giving me money, I prefer that you give it in cash.”
Liam remained silent as he focused on picking out tiny bones from the fish.
I continued, “I just need two million dollars in cash.”

Liam lifted his gaze from his plate. “I gave you that much money before, didn’t
1?”
“I tore the check back then.”
He probably never thought that I would really tear the check. It’s
understandable. Who in their right mind would tear a check that was worth
two million dollars?
“What do you need the money for?”
Chapter 52 My Sweet Vivl
“I’ll use it to buy stuff.”
“What kind of stuff?” Liam’s eyes seemed to bore into me as he fixed a
piercing gaze on me.
“I’ll buy stuff like bags, jewelry, clothes…”
“You’re in charge of a project that the Nyra Corporation is working on, right?”
Liam said, “A project that uses AR technology to create holographic images
of the deceased. The project is not too difficult, and you can even present it
as your graduation project.”
I did not expect him to bring up this topic.
He kept his gaze on me. “The minimum budget required to run the project is
estimated at five million dollars. Yet, you’re going to spend two million dollars
on bags now?”
I replied, “That project is canceled.”

Chapter 52 My Sweet Vivi
I learned about my condition three months ago, and I was told that I had at
most two years left to live. Eventually, I decided to use the little time I had to
realize my dream.
I’ve always wished to have a chance to meet with my mother once more. I
want to talk to her and feel her hugging me one more time.
I figured the only way I could achieve that is through the use of technology.
While bionic robots were clearly the better choice, that particular technology
required a stupendous amount of time and money to be completed. In the
end, I chose AR technology instead.
Back then, I had enough money to conduct the project. However, when the
Nyra Corporation was facing another financial crisis and I was informed that I
only had six months to live, I gave up on the project eventually.
Just then, Liam reached out and grabbed my wrist. Then, he gently pulied me
toward him and made me sit on his lap.

Liam picked up his spoon and tried to feed me some fish. However, I was
reminded of how he had fed Rina in the morning, and I immediately pushed
his hand away.
I could hear Liam chuckling quietly behind me. Still, I dropped my gaze and
ignored him in defiance.
Liam put his hand under my chin and lifted my face to his.

‘Sometimes, I can’t tell if you’re just this cute and naive, or if you’re that good
at seducing men.” There was a trace of delight in Liam’s eyes. “Why don’t you
tell me which of that is true?”
I tried to squirm free from his embrace. “Let me go first!”
“No.” Liam had both hands circled around my waist now. “Finish your dinner if
you’re still hungry. If you’re feeling full already, we’ll go back to your room
then. I find your bed very comfy.”
Upon hearing those words, I could feel my face burning up and my heart

racing.
Inwardly, I was repulsed by the fact that Liam was doing the same things he
had done for Rina to me now. Yet, I couldn’t seem to stop myself from
reacting like that to his words.
Just then, Liam leaned next to my ear and whispered in a sweet voice, “My
sweet Vivi.”
His hot breath tickled the skin on my neck.
“You look so adorable when you blush like that.”
I was too stunned to speak.
Is he doing all this because he’s worried that I won’t help explain to the public
about the photos and prove his innocence?
I already told him that I would do whatever that’s necessary.

While I was lost in thought, I heard Liam speak in a calm voice, “How many
men have you allowed in your bed before this?”

I snapped to my senses after hearing his question. Then, I turned my eyes
toward Liam.
“Hm?” A faint smile played across Liam’s lips. However, there was a dark, icy
look in his eyes. “Or am I the first one sleeping on it?”
Liam pressed his palm against the spot where his name was tattooed on my
body. The warmth seeping through the cloth seemed to make that part of
my skin burn and ache a little.
I tried to avoid his touch but to no avail. “You’re the first.”
Liam flashed a smile at me upon hearing my response. Then, he planted a
soft kiss on my cheek.
