    Chapter 82


    Meanwhile, Liam was busy going over documents in his office when the phone on his table rang.


    His secretary, June, walled into the room and answered the call on his behalf. “Hello, this is the office of


    Liam Starr.


    “What did you say? Why did they hit you?


    “All right. Don’t cry. Send them up and go get yourself checked at a hospital.”


    “Okay.” After hanging up the call, the receptionist wiped away her tears and said in a h oar se voice,


    “The director has given permission for you to head upstairs.”


    The Cowells beamed upon hearing this, and Violet walked straight into the elevator.


    Francis cussed the receptionist in a malicious tone, “F*ck. Would I have hit you if you had just done


    that from the start?”


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    As he spoke, he joined Violet in heading upstairs.


    In Liam’s office, June put the phone back in the receiver and reported, “Mr. Liar, there are some people


    from the Cowell Group who want to meet you. They pped our receptionist downstairs earlier.”


    “The Cowell Group?” Liam was puzzled. He found the name of thepany slightly familiar.


    June said, “The Cowell Group used to be on par with Henry’s Paraiso Group hack then. Ever since the


    family patriarch passed away, his wife has been in charge of the Cowell Group and thepany’s


    performance has deteriorated substantially. They’re now inferior to even a third-gradepany.”


    Liam finally remembered. He knew about the Cowell Group because thepany’s power was


    unparalleled when their previous president, Channing Cowell, had been alive. Thepany used to be


    the most powerful in Swallowston.


    The Cowell Group slowly deteriorated from apany with an initial market value of a few hundred


    million into a small enterprise of less than a few hundred thousand after Channing’s passing.


    Channing had been a talented man, yet his children and grandchildren were useless.


    “What brings them here?” Liam asked


    June fell silent for a moment, then said, “The Cowell Group made an official announcementst night.


    They acquired Samantha Cowell’s House of Bar. Madan Vialet Barker is managing it now. I only


    found out about thisst night and haven’t found the time to inform you yet.”


    “Come again?” Liam was astonished. “How could the Cowell Group passibly acquire Bar? Bar is


    not in need of funding and 1 heard from Mandy that she gave Samantha a personal loan of four million


    five hundred dors. That amount should be enough to sustain the business.”


    Liam was bbergasted.


    June nodded in agreement. “Mr. Liam, you may not be aware of this, but Madam Violet has despised


    Samantha all this time for marrying Mr. Adrian, and the Cowells would frequently bully Samantha,


    Judging by the situation, I specte that the Cowells forcefully took Bar from her. She would never


    have abandoned thepany otherwise.”


    There were many rumors about the Cowells spreading through the city.


    Upon hearing June’s report, Lian said, “I believe that your spection is correct. What’s with the


    Cowells? I can’t figure them QUL.”


    “It’s simple. General Daniel gave Bar a spot in Swallow Central while you gave Bar a partnership


    contract worth four million five hundred dors. Hence, the Cowells targeted Samantha.


    “The outsiders are saying that getting a spot in Swallow Central signifies the uprising of apany,”


    replied fine.


    Liam heaved a sigh. He came to understand the situation very well and found the Cowells to be


    ridiculous


    “They aren’t even part of Swallow Central yet, and they have the audacity to march into Nine Kings and


    p my receptionist?”

    Liam said, “Fine, I shall meet them. I’d like to see how useless Channing’s sessors are
