Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor) novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Getting Rid of Noah Martinez

Sitting in his car, Jericho remained restless despite the air conditioning being set to its coolest temperature.

He pinched his brow firmly, and the headache lessened somewhat, but the pain in his heart intensified.

From the very first day he entered prison, he understood that he and Mia could never exist in the same world again. He could not care for her for the rest of his life and could only revere her from afar, yearning for her and safeguarding her at any cost.

Thus, he had been shocked and frightened once more upon seeing her having contact with Liam.

Jericho knew exactly what kind of person Liam was and would never permit a thug like him to harm her.

As long as anyone posed a threat to her safety, Jericho was willing to do whatever it took to eliminate that threat.

This was precisely why he had consistently stirred up problems for Liam. However, today, he was entirely certain of one thing...

That person was not Liam Anderson at all!

One of his subordinates hung up the phone and looked at Jericho solemnly before whispering, "Mr. Hart, we've received a message from Emberfall. It stated that... Liam Anderson is still alive!"

"Are you positive?" he inquired with keen interest. "Liam is currently in Emberfall?"

"Indeed, no doubt about it."

"I see." He nodded and then began to contemplate with furrowed brows.

If that's the case, who is the man impersonating Stella's husband? She seems completely unaware that the person she's with isn't Liam. So, what exactly is that man's true motive?

One question led to another, and they all swirled in Jericho's mind, creating a perplexing labyrinth with no clear exit.

"Mr. Hart, since that person isn't Liam Anderson, should we stop bothering them?"

He concurred in a hushed tone. "Agreed. Let's leave them be. By the way, have you discovered who that person really is?"

"Well..." His subordinate hesitated.

"Never mind." Jericho reclined in his seat and closed his eyes in an attempt to relax. However, his phone soon vibrated.

As his subordinate handed him the phone, he saw Zander's name on the screen and could not help but feel a tinge of irritation.

Though Jericho had been reluctant to deal with Zander, his wings were not strong enough to brazenly offend any of the powerful factions in Eldoria. Having the Martinez family as his backing secured him a foothold in both Emberfall and Eldoria.

He took a deep breath and answered the phone just as Zander's patience was wearing thin.

As expected, Zander's voice came through with a series of complaints. "What on earth have you been up to? I've been trying to reach you for ages! Do you have a death wish or something?"

Jericho's expression darkened, but he had to muster a forced smile in response. "Mr. Martinez, how can I assist you?"

"I've heard that you've taken out some influential figures from the syndicates in Eldoria, and now their former underlings are seeking revenge on you?"

"Yes, that's correct," Jericho replied calmly. "But when a tree falls, the monkeys scatter. It's an undeniable fact, and they can't carry out their revenge."

"Hmph, you brat..." Zander scoffed. "You do have some courage."

"You're too kind, Mr. Martinez."

"Since you're so capable, I have a task for you."

Jericho listened silently.

Zander emphasized. "I want you to help me get rid of someone."

"Mr. Martinez, are you joking?" Jericho questioned calmly. "Getting rid of someone in a lawful society isn't that easy."
