The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 85

The Cowells blushed in shame as they were confronted by Liam’s unexpected inquiry.

Violet’s face was scarlet in color. She claimed that Samantha had failed to pay back the money she owed and had pledged her company. Yet now, Liam had exposed her lie.

Francis, Clara, and the others expressed their embarrassment too.

Noticing that the Cowells had gone quiet, Liam smiled and said, “Judging by your expressions, I believe that I’m right about this.

“Madam Violet, I’m not trying to criticize you. Mr. Channing has plenty of grandchildren, but the vast majority of them are useless. Samantha is the only Convell who inherited Channing’s capabilities.”

Liam shook his head. Any person with discerning eyes could see this

Violet was displeased by Liam’s remark and said, “Liam, this is our family’s private affair. Why are you meddling with other’s family affairs? Which one of my grandchildren is less capable than Samantha? RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Francis said, “She’s right. Any of us is far more capable than her. To put it plainly, Samantha is nothing but a piece of sh*t.” Clara said, “That’s right, Mr. Liam. Samantha is a piece of shit and is inferior to me by a long stretch. I’m way above her level. “This is a family affair. You aren’t going to meddle with our family’s affairs, right?”

Clara looked at Liam arrogantly.

Liam chuckled and waved his hand dismissively. “No, no, no. I won’t meddle with your family’s affairs, of course. However, I have to pay attention to the company matters for sure.”

He then turned to his secretary. “June, bring me the contract.”

June nodded and pulled out the contract Nine Kings had signed with Bailar.

Liam took it and said, “The collaboration between Nine Kings and Bailar was signed with Samantha. Now that she’s gone, this contract is now invalid.”

Rillp!

A soft ripping sound was heard as Liam tore up the contract right there and then.

“Huh?” Violet was instantly stunned, and so were the rest of the Cowells.

Liam tore up the contract.

“Why is this happening? they thought.

All the Cowells started to panic. They were under the assumption that Liam would treat them with courtesy and serve them drinks. They had not expected Liam to tear up the contract.

Violet said, “What are you doing, Liam? Do you think that our family isn’t worthy of collaborating with Nine Kings?”

Liam said, “The reason I signed a contract with Bailar is that I value Samantha. Now that she’s gone, the contract is invalid.”

“Mr. Liam, we’re much more capable than Samantha,” Francis said anxiously.

The Cowells did not have the slightest idea of what they were like

Liam interrupted Francis, raised his head, and asked, “Also, was it you who hit my receptionist earlier, right?”

“Umm…” Francis was stunned. He looked slightly embarrassed.

Liam clapped and a few bodyguards suddenly walked into the room. “Mr. Li?”

He beckoned them. “Give him twenty slaps on the face and drill it into his head that he deserves the punishment for hitting an employee of Nine Kings.

Francis was taken aback. As Liam’s voice died away, pande overtook him.

All at once, fear overwhelmed him and he almost cried. He said anxiously, “Mr. Liam, let’s talk this over properly. I didn’t hit her on purpose.”

Liam ignored him.

The rest of the Cowells were in chaos. Violet said, “Liam, out of respect for my husband-

“I would show him respect without any reminder on your part if he was alive, but he’s already dead.

“The Cowells have gone too far. You will never learn to repent without punishment.

“Beat him!” Liam ordered.
