Chapter 696

    ?Chapter 696: A shadow fell over Liams expression.


    However, having cut ties with Harlee andcking significant investments, he restrained himself from retorting too harshly.


    He attempted to pacify Elvin.


    Please, Elvin, dont be upset.


    I meant no harm by my words… Elvin shot Liam a cold, cutting re.


    If Liam hadnt purposely shoved him aside to steal the spotlight in front of Rhys a few days ago, he might have believed such ims.


    Now, remembering Liams audacious behavior filled Elvin with nothing but loathing.


    In Elvins eyes, Liam was a contemptible upstart, yet Liam had ascended in status, currying favor with influential figures.


    How could Elvin endure this? Elvin shot Liam a venomous re, nowpletely unwilling to team up with someone like Liam.


    If my efforts and my enterprise mean so little to you, perhaps its best we dissolve our partnership! Despite his biting words, Elvins tone remainedced with the diplomatic courtesy of a seasoned businessman, barely masking his disdain for Liam.


    A fleeting look of spite shed across Liams face, though he quickly concealed it.


    Committed to maintaining a fragile alliance with the Juarez family, Liam had disobeyed Harlees stern request to cease all interactions.


    He was not about to forfeit his position.


    Hed rather reveal his true nature than give up.


    Stay tuned at gα?ησν?????s Liam stated, Elvin, we shouldnt let angry words weigh too heavily… Elvin couldnt shake an eerie chill as Liams gaze bore into him.


    For a tense moment, he wondered if Liam might physically attack, driven by fury.


    Cautious of antagonizing a man who could turn violent, Elvin averted his gaze.


    Sensing Elvins unease, Liams stare intensified, reading every nuance of Elvins retreat.


    Dropping all pretense, he continued, Elvin, surely you see? We cant dissolve our partnership so hastily, can we? Startled, Elvin felt his head nod before he could stop it.


    Yes, youre right.


    My apologies… I was just overwhelmed.


    We should definitely keep working together… Having faced the Juarez familys financial ruin, Elvin had learned to stomach indignities.


    If it meant keeping his position in the game, he could bear being demeaned by those he once regarded as equals.


    Pleased with Elvins reaction, Liam rxed and regained his usual polished charm.


    In a friendly tone, he said with a smile, Whats with that look, Elvin? Remember, were in this together to take down the Sanderson family and reim our families glory, arent we? Liams seamless change of tone took Elvin by surprise.


    Elvin nodded again, his face ashen from the lingering fear.


    The thought of being intimidated by someone like Liam had never crossed his mind.


    With a hastily muttered excuse, Elvin made his exit from the Gill home.


    Only after sitting in his car for a considerable time did he regain hisposure.
