179 The Hero Who Saved the Princess
“Who gave you the courage to touch her?”
The cold voice left everyone around him instantly stunned.
The man who had been on Ella’s left side was now on the ground. Nobody knew what happened that made him fall to the floor in such an embarrassing position.
He felt so angry and embarrassed that he fell on the floor in front of everyone. He squinted and tried to recognize the face of the man in front of him, but he couldn’t remember who this man was.
He wasn’t new to the city so he knew the people in the city quite well. He already knew many important people in this city, but he didn’t know the man in front of him at all.
His body immediately stiffened as he looked at the man fiercely. “You want to pretend to be a hero and save your princess, huh? You are in the wrong place!”
“Heh...” Liam smiled faintly. His smile was mixed with burning anger. “How dare you touch my woman. Do you want to die?” He said in a low voice.
The voice made the man shudder slightly. But he didn’t want to lose! He couldn’t accept being humiliated in public like this!
“I am the son of the Prawira Family! Do you dare to fight me?”
.....
The fallen man rose to his feet and shouted aggressively.
“Prawira Family?” Liam just looked at him casually. “The Prawira family that runs a small chain of hotels?” After that, Liam turned to his assistant who was beside him. “Remember his name. Tomorrow morning, I would like to see their proposed business acquisition plan.”
“You...”
The man before him looked at Liam in disbelief. Liam’s words made him slightly awake from his drunken state.
Now, he could hear the people around him whispering.
“Isn’t that the son of the Jaya Family who just returned to Indonesia?”
“Is it true? I want to take a closer look...”
The man fell back to the ground a second time when he heard the whispers around him. His previously defiant gaze immediately turned to pleading. “I... I’m sorry. I apologize, I know I am guilty. Please forgive me...”
Liam didn’t say anything. His face had returned to its usual gentle expression as if his previous fierce appearance was just an illusion.
Seeing Liam unwilling to respond, the man turned around and prostrated under Ella’s feet. “I really am stupid. I have offended you. Please forgive my mistake, this won’t happen again.”
Ella looked down at her feet, looking down slightly because the man was now prostrating before her.
If Liam hadn’t shown up, this man might have taken her away by force.
“Sir, I think Mr. Liam has his own way of solving problems. I don’t want to interfere. At least you get a lesson not to carelessly seek trouble with people now. Remember his face, so that next time you don’t make a mistake again.”
Ella did not intend to forgive those who intended to harm her. She had no mercy for anyone anymore because the last time she did, she was the one who fell into the pit of hell.
When she was in the pit of hell, she could already see the real faces of people who were said to be from the upper class. Those who were once close to her, now left her and pretended that they didn’t know her.
They wouldn’t want to have anything to do with a commoner like Ella.
“Listen to what she has to say.” Liam straightened his clothes and walked over to Ella.
After that, he gently held Ella’s wrist.
Ella was startled by the touch, her hand subconsciously pushing Liam away. But the gentle words of the man sounded in her ears. “There are a lot of people here. At least don’t embarrass me.”
Ella immediately stopped struggling. Her body was a little stiff, but she didn’t push Liam away.
The expression on Liam’s face immediately looked very relieved.
All the women around looked at Ella with envy.
Apart from Christian, Liam had been a hot topic of conversation lately. Many women were trying to approach him and become his lover.
With the background of the Jaya Family and his gentle nature, as well as his attractive appearance, Liam could attract so many women.
All of this made Ella feel uncomfortable.
Seeing Ella’s expression, Liam smiled and looked at everyone around him. “Please don’t look. Can you please leave us alone?”
Everyone immediately came to their senses and left, leaving them behind.
The manager who was at the back of the crowd could only blink his eyes in confusion, not understanding the situation that was unfolding.
Initially, Ella was with Christian. But after she was abandoned by Christian, she immediately got in touch with the son of the Jaya Family.
If Christian found out, what would happen?
The manager didn’t think much of it and went along with the others.
It didn’t take long for them to go that only Ella and Liam were left on the outside.
Ella immediately removed her hand from Liam’s grip and smiled at him. “Thank you for your help.”
As usual, she smiled coldly and kept her distance from Liam.
Liam was not as disappointed as before. He was used to Ella’s firm attitude. “No problem.”
After a moment of silence, he said, “Ella, how about we start over? I will grant all your wishes.”
Ella looked at him with a surprised look.
Starting over? Who? Her and Liam?
What needed to be restarted between them?
No relationship ever existed between them. Since childhood, they were just friends, nothing less and nothing more.
Liam still had a warm smile on his face. “Ella, I know you don’t want to face your past. I won’t use the past to bind you either. I’ll treat you the same way we first met. I will try my best to prove that I can treat you well.”
“Liam, don’t say weird things like this,” Ella took a deep breath and looked at Liam with a helpless look. “Now we are adults. We’ve changed, we’re different.”
Ella didn’t want to bet on love anymore.
She didn’t want to hope anymore. Hoping was something a weakling would do. And she didn’t want to put her hopes on Liam.
Liam wanted to speak again but Ella had interrupted him, “With your current status, there are so many women who want to marry you, right? You can choose one to be your wife.”
Liam felt pain in his heart, but his face kept smiling as if it was all a joke. “Why do you sound like my parents now? Don’t tell me to get married immediately.”
