Chapter 45 He Was Hers
Liam's expression changed slightly.
Beside him, Andrew tipped him a wink and pointed not far away.
Through the car window, he saw Stella standing in a daze in the middle of the street, surrounded by a bustling crowd. Behind her was the landmark building of Emberfall, the headquarters of the Martinez Group.
Stella pressed the phone against her ear, waiting quietly for his answer.
He let out a sigh and chuckled. "In the past... I caused some trouble in Emberfall, so I stayed there for some days."
Stella paused for a moment and immediately changed the topic.
Andrew had been watching him all along. Stella said something on the other end of the phone, and Mr. Martinez smiled so happily.
He had never seen Mr. Martinez look so gentle before.
It wasn't until the call ended and Stella and her colleague walked away that Andrew asked in a low voice, "Mr. Martinez, should we clear those places you mentioned to Miss Taylor in advance?"
"No need. Let her have fun as she pleases." Liam became as indifferent as usual. "Send more people to protect her these days, but they must stay hidden and not let her see them."
"Yes, I see."
"And..." His eyes narrowed slightly. "Unless I intervene, do not let any member of the Martinez family get close to her!"
......
The Martinez Manor was located on Evergreen Mountain in the south of Emberfall.
The entire manor was built along the mountain, grand and luxurious, like an independent kingdom. The Martinez family, as the head of the four major families, controlled nearly half of the country's economic lifeline.
Noah Martinez slowly walked down the stairs. The spacious living room was just lively but instantly became silent.
His tall and sturdy figure was perfectly complemented by the wide black suit. His angular face was resolute and firm, and his deep, cold eyes revealed a sense of detachment and vigilance toward the whole world.
He glanced lightly at those flattering faces, nodded as a greeting, and had them sent away without saying a word.
Since he returned to Emberfall two days ago, there had been a continuous stream of visitors every day.
After the air crash, there were rumors that Noah's charred remains couldn't be found and the Martinez family was in constant turmoil. Everyone coveted the position of heir.
But now, Noah miraculously survived the disaster and returned.
Members of the Martinez family and other families who were ready to make trouble all wanted to find out the truth and see what exactly was going on.
"Mr. Martinez." Andrew walked to Noah and whispered, "Mr. Christopher Martinez has sent people here to ask many times."
