Chapter 442

‘You are biting off more than you can chew!’

Francine interrupted icily, “You should know the status of KCL in the field of electronic science and technology. They’ve only collaborated with H Group all these years. How can a fledgling company like yours work with them just because you want to?”

‘That’s right!”

Briar, who was hiding behind Francine, also raised her voice. “With the scale of Azure Group, you are not even worthy of holding a candle to KCL; what more work with them. I think this is exactly why you used such an insidious method to harm Stefan. You were hoping that H Group and KCL would not be able to collaborate…”

Liam nearly burst out laughing when he heard this. “I can’t agree with you. I admit that KCL is strong, but they are not that unattainable. Strictly speaking, I have a good relationship with the boss of KCL!”

Briar snorted disdainfully, “You must be bragging. Even Stefan did not have much contact with the boss of KCL, much less a person of your stature. How could you possibly have a good relationship with him?”

“I’m not bragging. I am indeed close to him. Renee can testify for me… Right, Boss?” When he said that to Renee, he raised his eyebrows meaningfully.

‘Stop it,” Renee said calmly. ‘Get someone to find Stefan now. Where the heck is he? I’m also worried sick about him.”

“Stop pretending. I have never seen someone who can talk nonsense so confidently like you!”

Briar got very emotional and urged Francine. “Miss Francine, I think we should stop this empty talk with them and call the police. Let them question these two so we don’t have to waste time here and delay the search for Stefan!”

Francine nodded. “You are right. We can’t settle this with them anyway. It’s better to let the police handle it.”

“No, you can’t call the police!” Liam shouted firmly. “If anyone dares to call the police, I shall not show mercy!”

His reaction only further convinced Francine and Briar that there was something strange going on in his mind. Even Renee felt that something fishy had to be going on.

Briar said, “Just listen to him. Look at his arrogance. He does not even want to pretend anymore! Wait no more, Miss Francine. Hurry up and call the police. I don’t believe that his family can be more powerful than the law. IV Renee said, “Since that is the case, ask the police to come. I believe the law is fair and will prove our innocence… If you won’t make the call, I will do it myself.”

She fished for her mobile to call the police.

Seeing this, Liam walked forward and snatched away her mobile. “Listen to me, Boss. Don’t. The fewer people who know about this, the better. And I believe the Hunt family wouldn’t want too many people to know either.”

Renee was sure that Liam was hiding something from her.

She frowned and asked solemnly, “If you really respect and trust me, you should just tell me. What exactly are you hiding from me, Liam?”

“I…” He hesitated, as he knew that she would not be able to bear it if he told her about it.

And if Francine still did not learn about Stefan’s death, she would go crazy right on the spot when he said it. Things would become even more complicated then.

‘Come on, say it. Not to mention that they will suspect you; your behavior implies that we really killed Stefan!”

Renee hated the most to be a scapegoat, but Liam’s reactions were turning her into one. It was driving her nuts.

“Okay. If you insist, then I will tell you. But you must prepare yourself.

Stefan’s condition is very serious, more serious than amputation. He has…”

Just as Liam took a deep breath and was about to tell Renee everything, Francine’s phone rang.

‘What did you say? Stefan…”

She looked tense and was frowning while listening to the person on the other end of the line.

After a long time, she hung up the call gloomily.
