Chapter 1197
Liam was in his car, haggling with Nicolas on his phone.
“Look at all the trouble I went through to find this guy for you. I didn’t get home till 3:30 in the morning! One thousand? Are you kidding me? That’s chump change! I won’t take anything less than a hundred grand!”
Liam’s eyelid twitched, “A hundred grand? You think you’re worth that much?”
Nicolas, with his thick skin, had always been able to hold his own against Liam. To Liam, his remarks were completely harmless, like shooting cotton with bullets.
“Why am I not worth it? Do you know how old I am now? I stayed up so late for Shawn’s sake! When you were injured at the bar, your wife demanded 250 grand from me!”
Recalling that 250 grand made Nicolas upset, so he attempted to recoup some of it.
Tm only doing this for your own good! So you won’t end up bedridden with illness in the future)”
Nicolas’s mouth twitched, “You son of a bitch! Now that you’ve landed a wife, you’ve forgotten all about me, huh? You’re cursing me to be bedridden? You’re the one who’s gonna end up in bed with no one to take care of you, not even Celeste!”
Leaning back, Liam smirked, “Letti would never abandon me. But you, when you’re sick in bed, who’s gonna take care of you? You keep lying to Ms.
Colton”
Nicolas was irate and wanted Liam to shut up.
“Enough with the bullshit, just transfer the money! I almost got arrested last night because of you! If it wasn’t for me, would you have been able to spend the night with your wife?”
Liam, with a dark expression, said, “Next time, don’t take the initiative to bring such nonsense to me!” He had even corrupted Celeste!
Nicolas snorted, “Didn’t you have fun last night?”
Usually, Liam wouldn’t bother arguing about this, but due to some pleasurable experiences last night, he couldn’t help but brag.
So, he casually drummed his fingers on the steering wheel and smirked, “Letti likes me even more.”
Nicolas was fuming and sarcastically said, “Really? I remember her saying that no matter what medication you took, it didn’t work. You had to see a specialist Have you two already been? Or is Celeste just pretending to please you? After all, she’s the best at acting. She once pretended to be Mason’s girlfriend, and you didn’t even recognize her Maybe she’s just trying to make you happy, and you fell for it.”
Liam cursed, “Go to hell!” And hung up the phone.
Nicolas didn’t get his reward and continued to harass Liam through texts.
“A hundred grand, and I’ll refer you to a specialist”
Liam, with a stern face, replied. “You’re crazy.”
As Nicolas was still typing, Liam looked up and saw a familiar car passing in front of him and parking in a nearby spot.
Liam no longer paid attention to Nicolas and turned his head to look out the window.
The car hadn’t stopped for a few minutes when the door opened, and a familiar figure emerged. It was Leonard Hann.
This guy was showing up so late.
When he had just sent Lettiin, he wondered if Leonard Hann would curse at Steven for accepting that Letti was his cousin. He had thought that Leonard Hann was very accepting since he hadn’t shown up for a long time, but it turned out that he hadn’t seen her yet.
Liam gently moved his fingers on the steering wheel, picked up his phone, and dialed Leonard Hann’s number.
Leonard Hann’s phone started ringing after only a few steps. He was not too thrilled to see it was Liam, but he still answered, considering Liam had helped him out before.
“What do you want?”
His voice was cold, showing how much he disliked him.
Liam didn’t mind and coldly said, “Turn left.”
Leonard Hann was taken aback, turned his head, and saw Liam sitting in the driver’s seat of a Mercedes next to him, holding his phone.
Seeing him looking over, Liam hung up the phone, raised his hand, and beckoned him over.
Leonard Hann walked over with a puzzled look, “What are you doing?”
Liam said, “Waiting for a friend”
“Oh” Leonard Hann said indifferently. “Why did you call me then?”
Liam said gently, “How was the meal last time? Letti asked me to check with you, I forgot earlier Was I good?”
Leonard Hann’s memory of that meal had been replaced by the beating he got from Steven.
Steven knew he was filming and also knew his face was his moneymaker, so he only hit where the camera couldn’t see.
Leonard Hann wasnt a fool, but the boxing techniques he had learned were useless against Steven because he would always find a reason to stop the fight as soon as he was at a disadvantage and then take advantage of the break to launch a sneak attack.
How could Hiram, who was so upright, have given birth to someone like Steven?
Leonard Hann’s thigh was still hurting, but he still said very seriously. “It was delicious.”
Liam thought Leonard Hann was really too polite.
“Then I’ll have her cook for you again sometime.”
Leonard Hann coughed and said, “That’s not necessary. I heard that the leading lady is about to be finalized, and we’ll be regrouping soon. Let Letti have a good rest.
Liam stopped teasing him, nodded, and said, “Alright, I’ll pass that on.”
After a pause, he casually asked, “Are you here for work?”
Leonard Hann hesitated for a moment. He didn’t want to talk too much, so he just nodded in confirmation.
Liam handed him a beautiful box, “Here’s a nice gift for you”
Leonard Hann felt it was strange, but he still took it.
He opened the box to find a very delicate lighter inside.
