Chapter 31 Not in a Good Mood Anymore


    Susan’s face turned pale as she stared nkly at Liam for a few seconds before letting out a wail and


    bursting into tears. Covering her face with her hands, she ran out the hall.


    Everyone in the dining hall was shocked, but given Liam’s grim facial expression, nobody dared


    intercede on behalf of Susan. Nobody was brave enough even to breathe. The huge dining hall was


    suddenly as silent as a graveyard.


    Amber, too, was stunned when she heard Liam telling Susan to scram.


    "What in the world was going on? It couldn’t be that Liam had stood up for me, right?" Amber lowered


    her eyes as she wondered. Right beside her was Liam’s pressed trousers. Those straight, long legs of


    his emanated an air of arrogance. All of a sudden, bubbles of happiness formed in the depths of her


    heart.


    Liam surveyed the shocked faces of his subordinates quietly before he opened his mouth to speak. “I


    am honored to introduce to everyone my fiancée—Amber Currie.”


    Fiancée? Everyone was stunned into silence once again.


    They were all familiar with gossip regarding Liam’s habit of appearing at hotels with different women,


    but this young girl in front of them who wore simple clothes and whose actions were unmatured was


    nothing like the women on the news! Those who appeared in the photos were flirtatious women who


    dressed scantily.


    John the manager and Lily exchanged nces. Both of them wore grim expressions on their faces.


    They had a hunch that this was taking a bad turn.


    John immediately tried to fend for himself as he exined, “Mr. Croft, I... I had no idea that Miss Currie


    is your fiancée. Lily was the one who arranged for the catwalk—I had no knowledge of this at all!”


    Lilly red at John as she gritted her teeth in frustration, but because her position was lower than his,


    she had no choice but to suppress her anger.


    Mr. Neil was standing at a side, enjoying the show. He was relieved that he had only arranged for


    Susan toe to apany Liam for a drink, and had nothing to do with Mr. Croft’s fiancée!


    “Go retrieve your 24-months sry from the finance department! Don’t evere back.” Liam didn''t


    speak with a loud voice, and his usual indifferent look was back. Yet those words of his were nothing


    short of a bomb, causing everyone to jump out of their skin.


    They had all met their CEO''s previous fiancée—she was even prettier and more elegant than Miss


    Currie—but Liam had never been in such a rush before!


    It was a mere ss of wine. Even if Susan had done that on purpose, it didn''t require such a decision


    right? What more to say, John had worked for years at thispany—how could Liam just fire him this


    way? This was simply too heart-wrenching!


    After settling matters with John, Liam diverted his attention to Mr. Neil. “Sell off your shares. I’ll pay you


    double the price.”


    Liam dragged Amber with him as he left the hall that was dead silent, leaving the crowd behind to


    wonder amongst themselves. The jolly celebration had suddenly turned into a murderous situation.


    Once they walked out of the dining hall, Liam let go of Amber’s hand.


    Amber looked at Liam in confusion and realized that he looked terrible—even worse than when they


    were in the dining hall!


    She had wanted to thank him, but seeing how bad he looked, she dared not open her mouth to say


    anything. Those bubbles of happiness deep down in her heart immediately popped. She was no fool.


    Liam was giving her attitude!


    If she had thought that Liam had a thing for her just now, it was evident that she had thought too highly

    of herself. The reason he had so boldly stood up for her just now was probably none other than to


    protect his own reputation!
