Chapter 1239

With that, Liam took a bank card from his wallet and placed it on Julian’s desk. “There are more than three million dollars in this card.

It’s my savings. I’ll use the remaining money to prepare for the wedding with Blake.”

“N-No, Liam… Dad, you should talk some sense into Liam! What’s so special about Blake?”

Liam turned and left. Seeing the woman who had also appeared outside the door, he walked past her without greeting.

Julian never expected to lose control of things and never anticipated that Liam cared little for power. ‘So Liam has indeed earned a lot of money now. Even without my support, he can still live well in Ventropolis with his skills. It seems my son is really making a name for himself.”

Ixia pleaded with Lylia again, “Mom, please talk to Dad. Hasn’t he always listened to you?”

“That’s enough! All of you get out of here!” Julian suddenly yelled, sweeping the crucial documents off the table and onto the floor.

Lylia knew the magnitude of the situation. So, she held back her anger with reason and pulled Ixia behind her. “Julian, you have the nerve to yell at Ixia, but you can’t bear to get angry at your son? Listen, Ixia is my daughter, and nobody is allowed to be harsh with her. I don’t care what means you use, but you better make sure Liam marries Ixia. Otherwise, don’t bother letting him come back. I refuse to believe Liam is the only option out of so many eligible bachelors in Ventropolis!”.

She is Cecilia’s long-lost younger sister, and Cecilia is connected with the elites of Ventropolis. Do you even realize how many people are involved with Jardin Corporation and how many are eyeing the position of secretary-general? This is my only chance. If we mess this up, it’ll be hell for all of us!”

“I never expected it to be like this. No wonder Blake is so bold. I can’t believe she’s that woman’s sister.” Now, Lylia was left speechless and Ixia was frightened. Julian had never been this furious with her before.

The next day, Liam came to pick Blake up at the Harper residence in the morning. Blake, who had just finished breakfast, was genuinely startled as she had not expected him to come. Grace warmly welcomed him and insisted that he stay for breakfast together.

While driving, Liam spoke gently, “Have you thought about it? We don’t have to rush into marriage. We can take it slow, try dating, and you don’t have to keep things to yourself in the future. From now on, you won’t be alone anymore.”

Blake nodded, “Okay. Let’s pretend to be in a relationship for now, to deal with Cecilia.”
