Chapter 1172

Leia ran upstairs swiftly, all while joking around with him. “Say, Liam, you went on a little pity party trip and left for almost a whole year. But look at you; you still haven’t moved on from her. Your little trip was such a waste; your heart, destined to stay with Ren all along…”

“Nonsense, I’ve moved on long ago.’

“Sure… and yet you still get nervous hearing her name.”

Suddenly, Leia remembered something and quickly became serious.” Though you did come back just in time. Azure Group is in shambles, they’re being targeted, and H Group is leading this attack. Besides, Ren and that Stefan guy aren’t even talking to each other, either. It’s your time to win her back.”

Liam frowns as well. “That’s exactly why I came back. Boss has two kids and a business to run. She can’t juggle all of that all the time.”

“Right? I had to step up and help too. But I was too inexperienced and offended some people, I almost ended up in jail after being framed too!” Leia exclaimed. She was reminded of her time handling business for Renee during these past six months. It was truly a bitter memory.

‘Tsk, I’m really not cut out to be a lady boss. I’m more suited to be laying around wasting air!’

“It’s good to have you back. Azure Group is saved! Let’s fight back and make sure they eat their own sh*t!”

“You’re unbelievable.” Liam couldn’t help but find his sister amusing.

However, it only made his heart more determined to stay by Renee and assist her as much as he could.

The next day, Geronimo and his wife were so excited to learn that their precious son had finally returned that they burst into tears of joy. 1 “Oh, I didn’t know you still knew your way back home, you punk! Don’t you know how much we longed for you to return to us?”

“Exactly! I thought you would never come back! I missed you so much!” Madame Osborne embraced Liam, wailing as if he had just died in her arms.

“Hey, is this what people call separation anxiety? I just went on a trip, I even called you guys from time to time! You don’t have to act like this!”

“What do you mean by that? You were all alone out there in this dangerous world! Don’t you know your mother would worry about you, you naughty boy!” Madame Osborne slapped Liam’s back repeatedly, expressing both love and annoyance toward her son.

Leia was leaning against the stair railing on the second floor, gloating at her brother’s demise. He didn’t even have to do anything to get beaten up like this.

“Alright, alright. It’s good to see you back.” Geronimo let out a long sigh.” Now that you’re here, I’ll be retiring as well. I’ll entrust you with the entire family business, I’m sure you’re more than capable of handling it.’

The old man then patted on Liam’s shoulder, showing recognition towards him.

“I don’t expect anything else from you at this point. I just hope you keep a clear head and don’t involve yourself in anything that might bring harm,” Geronimo said, then shot Leia a dirty glare. “And definitely don’t be like your sister. She’s out there doing free labor.” 1 The old man had always coddled the two siblings, granting them whatever they wished.

However, whenever it came to Renee, he showed no leniency whatsoever.

“Sorry Dad, I only came back this time to help Miss Everheart.” Liam placed his hands in his pockets, speaking in a nonchalant tone.

Leia weakly raised her hand as well. “Same.”

Geronimo, however, felt as if he was about to have a heart attack. “Darling, get me my pills!”
