Chapter 81 Don’t Be Too Pleased With Yourself

Liam gazed deeply at me and without uttering a word, he led me toward the
gynecology office.
Just as I was about to resist, he suddenly stopped and turned around.
It was not until we were back inside the elevator that I mustered the courage
to speak, asking in a hushed voice, “Did you change your mind?”
Liam appeared to be oblivious, reaching out to press the button for the
desired floor, maintaining his silence.
The elevator descended floor by floor.
Suddenly, he spoke, “You’re a hypocrite.”
I remained silent
“I can’t even remember my injury, yet here you are, hypocritically talking
Chapter 81 Don’t Be Too Pleased With Yourself
about what if I bled.” He mocked, “I don’t know what kind of schemes you’re
planning.”
I replied, “You must understand what I mean.”
“I don’t understand,” his expression turned slightly cold. “What kind of curse
did Anna put on you? Do you think you have to take responsibility for her
actions, even if it means sacrificing your well–being?”
I grew irritated. “That’s not what I wanted to ask you. This kind of thing
shouldn’t make my sister that mad.”
“Of course, this kind of thing shouldn’t make her angry,” Liam lowered his
head slightly and whispered into my ear, his voice soft, “But Yvette is my
biological sister.”
I froze, staring at him in disbelief.

“You shouldn’t be too pleased about this,” he said, his eyes narrowing slightly.
“Although your jealousy does offer some amusement, the real reason I didn’t
tell you is that it wouldn’t be right to share this information with your sister.”
I remained silent.

“After all, she would be filled with anxiety and apprehension, always
concerned that I might desert the Nyra Corporation at any given moment. It
is this very fear that lured her into giving me the shares.”
The rumor he mentioned must be the news about him planning to sell the
Nyra Corporation.
I snapped back to reality and asked, “Did you sign the agreement with her
about my father?”
Since Anna had given him the shares for free, he should have signed a
retirement agreement with her according to the previously agreed terms.
Liam stifled a smile and looked at me.
“No?” I asked in shock. “Then who’s taking care of my father now? Huh?”
Chapter 81 Don’t Be Too Pleased With Yourself
Liam released my hand, glanced at the elevator doors, and replied
expressionlessly, “I gave her 20 million dollars.”
“You’re lying,” I exclaimed. “You said it was a gift for yourself just now! And if
you sell the shares, such a small amount wouldn’t be possible.”

“I’m the sole buyer in the market, so I’m the one who set the price,” Liam
squinted at me. “Do you still think she would sacrifice her shares for the sake
of retirement?”
Amidst the silence, the elevator doors opened.
“Your father is responsible for himself,” Liam stated, holding onto my wrist as
we exited the elevator. “And you must not forget my request.”
My knee was only grazed, so the doctor sterilized it, applied a bandage, and
provided me with a list of recommended diets and some advice.
As we got into the car, I realized something. Liam didn’t take me to the
gynecology department.

It seemed like he had forgotten about it.
Should I tell him?
Considering the magnitude of Anna’s situation, she would hold a grudge
against me for a while and would not be willing to take care of my father
either.
I was also struggling financially.
Our best course of action, for now, was to find a solution through Liam.
Therefore, I decided not to reveal the miscarriage to him at the moment.
But how could such a thing be concealed… After a miscarriage, menstruation
would occur at any time within a month.
The thought of this overwhelmed me, and I could not help but press my
forehead, feeling as though my head was as heavy as a bucket.
At that moment, a deep voice sounded in my ear, “What are you thinking
Chapter 81 Don’t Be Too Pleased With Yourself
about?”
I looked at him.
He gripped the steering wheel, and slightly turned his face towards me, his
gaze sweeping over my face. “Why did I marry you?” he asked.
I was stunned before I gathered my thoughts and understood what he was
implying–whether I was pondering about this particular issue.
It was only when he brought it up that I realized.
Yes.
Why did he marry me?

Three years ago, L.M Group encountered a major crisis, and Nyra Corporation
invested 2 billion in it. Afterward, my father invited him to our house for dinner.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, he showed a great interest in me.

From that day on, he began asking me out frequently. Though our
rendezvous always took place at either my house or his, it was not long
before he proposed to me.
Reflecting on it now, it was I who initiated the investment, and he never
mentioned it.

Thinking about this, a shiver ran down my spine, and I looked at Liam, asking,
“Didn’t you need Nyra Corporation’s assistance at all?”
Liam glanced at me. “Of course.”
I was lost. “But why did you accept it?”
Liam remained silent.
“Yes…” I knew that my question was foolish, but I could not think of any other
possibilities. “Did you find me physically attractive and wanted to try it out
with me?”
Chapter 81 Don’t Be Too Pleased With Yourself
“Heh.” Liam chuckled.
His laugh was filled with mockery and contempt.
I froze.
He turned his face and shifted his gaze. He smiled, “Why would I reject an
offer?” he asked.
I did not speak to him again until we reached home.

It was cold outside, but the warmth from the car’s heating enveloped us. I
closed my eyes, rested my head against the window, and drifted off to sleep.
Liam called my name several times, but I did not open my eyes.
One thought echoed in my mind
“Why would I reject an offer?”
I’ve always been worthless in his eyes.
Chapter #1 Be Too Peas With Yours?
I was drowsy and felt the car coming to a stop, and there was pressure
against my head. I stirred for a moment and realized it was his hand.
It did not feel right, so I shifted my head, and I heard a low chuckle. “Silly”
He added, “You’re crying.”
I squeezed my eyes shut.
There was silence.
Then, I felt a touch of warmth against my eyelids.
I opened my eyes, and at the same time, I sensed a slight dampness and
pressure.
He was kissing my eyelids tenderly.
His kisses were gentle, but they made me feel somewhat uncomfortable,
causing me to snort.

At that moment, Liam released me, lowered his gaze, and locked his eyes
with mine.
Perhaps due to my overwhelming sleepiness, my mind felt strangely blank at
that instant.
He cupped my face, his thumb gently caressing my cheek, and then he
leaned in once again to kiss me.
After a series of kisses and moments of intertwining, he released me once
more and whispered in a soft voice, “Hold me.”
I did not move.
He waited for a moment, perhaps understanding my unspoken words, and
then took my arm and wrapped it around his neck.
His embrace tightened around me. His grip was always so secure, so tight
that it almost made me believe that he genuinely enjoyed holding me.

I reminded myself that I must still be dreaming so, I allowed myself to nestle
further into his arms, letting him embrace, caress me, and press his lips
against my skin with each delicate touch.
“Knock! knock!”
There was a heavy knock on the car window.
Liam’s body tensed slightly, and he lifted his head.
I glanced out of the car window and saw something familiar. It was the area
outside my house. A man in a black suit stepped aside, revealing a figure
wearing light blue clothing not too far away.
It was Yvette.
