Chapter 81
Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall
Chapter 81 Emma was being childish. There was nothing to see. Liam tucked Emma into bed.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed Liam. âLiam...â Emma woke up again and looked at him with her big eyes.
âYouâre very naughty. How much did you drink?â asked Liam, âNot much... Hug?â Emma said.
Naughty people couldnât have hugs. Liam swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Before he could say ânoâ, he reacted honestly. He wrapped his arms around Emma. She smelled nice.
âAnd a kiss.â Emma did not care about Liamâs current expression. She hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him.
Their lips met in a deep kiss, and their desire rose.
Emma kissed Liam until he felt suffocated. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him, âI still want to....
âWhat else do you want?â asked Liam.
Emma looked at him obediently. âI still want to... I wonât tell you.â
âYouâre not going to tell me?â Liam leaned over Emma, suppressing her under him.
Emma was so confused that she did not react to what had just happened. Liam, who was in the wheelchair, suddenly pulled her onto the bed. A masculine aura enveloped her, and she couldnât reject it.
Liam murmured, âWhat else do you want?â He kissed the back of her neck.
Emma could not help but feel itchy. She begged, âI still want to have a baby... I donât want a baby, but I want to make one...â She spoke in a daze. She did not even know what she had said before she was swept away by passion.
When Emma woke up the next day, she could not remember anything, but her entire body was aching. She thought, âWhat happened? Did I get drunk and mess up?â However, when Emma thought. about it, she felt it was impossible. âIs Liam not planning to continue hiding the fact that he could walk?â
1/4 Astoma was looding puzzled, the phone by the bed viluated. When she saw the phone with ful Lanchas helped her charge the phone, and Emmaâs face flushed instantly Emma picked up the phone, trying to sound calm. âHello?â
âMadam, youâre awake?â the voice said.
âLevi?â Emma was overjoyed to hear his voice, After the explosion in the Watery Garden, Levi was seriously injured and had been unconscious for a few days. Now that he called, it meant that he had recovered. âMadam, thanks to your wit i was able to save Mr. Hall last time. Iâve recovered now and have returned to work for Mr. Hall.â
Emma nodded. âThatâs for the best. Liam has just taken over the Halls Group and needs your help.â
Levi replied, âYes, I will assist Mr. Hall. Mr. Hall said that after you wake up, the driver will bring you to the Halls Groupâs headquarters. He has a surprise for you today.â
âOh? Really?â Emma was looking forward to it. Unexpectedly, when she got up, her body went unbelievably limp. âWhat exactly happened last night? Emma thought.
At the headquarters of Halls Group, Emma was welcomed into the lounge on the directorsâ floor. It was separated from the conference room by a wall of glass. Everyone inside could be seen clearly.
âMr. Liam, itâs not that we donât want to cooperate. Itâs just that weâve been working with Mr. Brad on this project. There has to be a period for us to adapt to each other, right?â The person talking was Bradâs trusted aide. It was obvious he did not take Liam seriously at all and only followed Bradâs lead.
These people were still waiting to see what happened. The change of the CEO of the Halls Group had yet to be confirmed. The various factions did not dare to offend either Liam or Brad. Everyone was procrastinating, and the companyâs operations were a problem.
Liam remained calm. Levi, who was standing beside him, said, âYouâre all shareholders of the Halls Group. It wonât do you any good if the share price falls.
âBut thatâs not what Mr. Brad told us,â one of the shareholders retorted.
âConstruction has already started on a few projects. Itâs unrealistic to stop them now,â another said.
âThis is such an important decision. We have to wait for Mr. Brad to come back and discuss it Together,â a third added.
The shareholders made all sorts of excuses, but Liam said directly, âBrad wonât be coming back.â
The board of directors looked at each other.
âThis... canât be, right?â someone asked, âDidnât Mr. Simon give Mr. Brad the Vark College project not long ago?â another asked.
When the shareholders saw how determined Liam was, their attitude toward him instantly changed subtly.
âMr. Liam... did Mr. Simon tell you something in private?â one of them asked Liam.
âNothingâ Liam said, âBut I wonât let Brad come back. The Vark College project will be taken over by the headquarters sooner or laterâ
Liam always meant what he said. The shareholders were speechless for a moment.
One of them rose angrily to his feet. âMr. Liam, you canât distort the truth. Mr. Brad has led us through a lot of Halls Groupâs projects in recent years. He is only temporarily transferred. If you want to take his place, heal your legs first.â
Emma heard how rude the man was from the other side of the glass and frowned unhappily. âWho is he?â
âHeâs Ivan Foster, Mr. Bradâs right hand man,â said the secretary in charge of receiving Emma, âIvan Foster. He attacked Liam personally. How annoyingâ Emma made a mental note of the man.
With Ivan taking the lead, the other shareholders were emboldened.
âMr. Liam, I still have a meeting this afternoon. Iâll go first,â one of them said.
âMr. Liam, Iâll leave first,â another added.
âI still have to supervise the project at West Ocean. Mr. Liam, goodbye,â a third interjected.
The shareholders did not even finish the meeting before they started to leave. They were clearly looking down on Liam.
As the group of people opened the door to leave, Liam, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, suddenly stood up. His voice was deep and filled with threat and anger. âWho gave you permission to leave?â
1st Wed, 10 Jul D Everyone turned. All the shareholders were dumbfounded. Liam had stood up. Everyone looked at his legs, It was true.
Liam walked over with a cold expression. âMy legs are fine. So? Do you need me to fire you personally. or do you want to quit?â
Everyone in the meeting room was stunned. Only Levi silently gave Emma a thumbs up. He was telling her that this was the surprise Liam was talking about.
Emma replied with a thumbs up. She knew that Liamâs legs were fine, but seeing it with her own eyes. today still shocked her.
After enduring so long, it was finally time for Liam to reap his reward.
âYour legs have... recovered?â Someone couldnât help but ask.
Liam sneered. âWhat do you think?â He paused before continuing, âNot only have I recovered, but I also have two pieces of news for you. The Supreme Court has already sentenced Elsie to five years in prison. I still have evidence that Elsie and Brad schemed against me for the plane crash back then. Not only Elsie, but the Mr. Brad that youâre loyal to will follow in her footsteps and go to jail.â
