Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor) novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50 Acting Strangely Since Meeting Stella

At the penthouse of the Luxury Hotel, Liam lay half-reclined on a wide lounge chair.

The weather wasn't good today. There was a heavy fog in the distant sea, and it was just like the gloom in his heart.

"Are you not interested in Mr. Noah Martinez?"

"If he takes a fancy to you, won't you be able to ascend to heaven in one step?"

...

Liam's fingers tightened around the stem of his wine glass, his knuckles turning white.

He had meant to joke with her, but he hadn't expected such a big reaction from the little woman. These past few days, she not only refused to let him into her bedroom but also treated him with icy politeness. She still cooked meals and cleaned the house as usual, but she maintained a cold and polite distance from him.

This atmosphere made Liam, who was usually calm and composed, feel almost suffocated and crazed.

If only time could flow backward, he would strangle that loose-tongued self of his.

A helicopter slowly landed on a nearby helipad. The airflow from its propellers blew Liam's hair into disarray and lifted a corner of his shirt.

Oliver got off in high spirits. At the sight of the man on the terrace, he rushed up.

As he got closer, he noticed Liam's sullen face.

The white truffles and caviar he had ordered for Liam were untouched.

Learning his lesson, Oliver sat down opposite Liam without saying a word. With his eyes fixed on Caleb, he hoped to get some clues.

But Caleb couldn't fathom Liam's thoughts either. He just sat there, quietly drinking coffee and reading documents.

Unable to stand the oppressive and eerie atmosphere any longer, Oliver laughed awkwardly and tried to make conversation. "Well... Noah... I showed your wife's sales plan to several directors under me. They all praised it highly and said it was very professional. Ha-ha, they even said that the person who made this plan is talented, and they want to poach her."

He thought the news would delight Liam.

But it only made his face darken further, and he looked askance at Oliver.

Oliver's heart rose into his throat and thumped wildly.

"Uh... My special assistants said that this cooperation could be discussed. It happens that the people of Rainbow Export want to meet me in person. Should I go? What do you think?"

"This is your company's business. Why do you ask me?" Liam said indifferently.

Oliver was baffled again.

"Was it you who arranged for Stella to go to the party at Evergreen Manor?" Liam asked.

"Yes," Oliver said, confused, "I did what you asked me to do. I prevented those people from the Taylor family from pestering her and invited her in to eat. To avoid your meeting, I arranged for her to stay in a room."

"Since you had arranged everything, why didn't you arrange for a stylist to dress her up and attend the party?" Liam grunted.

"But then wouldn't your identity be exposed?"
