Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor) novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86 Does He Know About Stocks?

After hanging up the phone, Liam calmed down for a few seconds before calling Stella to confirm if she was safe.

The voice on the other end was weak and filled with helplessness.

"Darling, the two directors insisted on treating the clients to dinner tonight... Alas, you know that our biggest client now is Amelia. I have to go."

"Yeah, it's okay." Liam didn't mention that Amelia had called him. "Where are you having dinner? Send me the address and I'll come pick you up."

Stella agreed with a smile and quickly sent him the address.

Liam checked and realized it was the same address Amelia had sent him.

At first, he was worried that Amelia had some sort of conspiracy, trying to lure him away. But now it seemed like Amelia wasn't lying.

But why did Amelia specifically call him and ask him to join their dinner?

Liam pondered for a moment.

Regardless of the reason, it would be better for him to go just in case.

......

Halfway through the meal, the atmosphere at the table started to heat up. Several men toasted each other and tried their best to flatter Amelia.

Stella never enjoyed these social gatherings, and now she felt even more exhausted.

She kept looking at her watch, and strangely enough, every minute and second seemed to pass by extremely slowly. The end of the dinner seemed distant, and the open and secret power struggle between the sales and marketing directors was irritating. Just as she was thinking of making an excuse to step outside for some fresh air, she suddenly heard Amelia's sharp voice.

"Hey, everyone, hold off on drinking for a moment!"

Everyone immediately put down their glasses and looked at her in silence.

"Heh, a mysterious guest is coming later!" Amelia turned to Stella, her lips curling with a sinister smile. "Stella, after all, we are family! Although you didn't marry well, you two are already married, and he is my brother-in-law! Heh, having him experience this kind of occasion a few more times will be beneficial for him, right?"

"What did you say?" Stella's heart skipped a beat. "Did you call Liam here?"

Before Amelia could reply, someone lightly knocked on the private room's door.

Sure enough, Liam walked in from behind the door, and Stella stared blankly, her mind going blank.

Amelia definitely had some evil intentions!

She called Liam here with the sole purpose of humiliating him!

In a panic, Stella rushed to Liam's side and gently held his hand. However, he turned to look at her and gave her a reassuring smile.

Stella was thinking about how to help Liam out of this predicament.

But Amelia quickly approached, her voice loud. "Let me introduce him! This is my brother-in-law, Liam!"

Liam looked around and nodded in greeting. However, the men present seemed to sense the inherent pressure emanating from him and all avoided his gaze.

Amelia laughed and said, "Stella, stop standing there like an idiot! Hurry up. Let Liam sit next to you and join us in eating!"

"I'm afraid that Liam has never been to such a hotel before... Ha-ha, he's really lucky to be with you!"

Stella wanted to retort angrily, but Liam gently squeezed her hand, giving her a reassuring pinch.

Liam remained calm and composed, gracefully taking his seat next to Stella.

Although he didn't speak, his demeanor was extraordinary. Even David, someone who had seen and experienced a lot, couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows slightly, carefully observing Liam.

Only Amelia firmly believed that Liam was a poor and worthless thug. In order to humiliate Stella, she went to great lengths.

"Liam, what have you been up to lately? Have you been learning about finance and trade from Stella?"

"Stella, you should teach your husband. Otherwise, the gap between the two of you will only widen, and you will eventually go your separate ways! After all, your husband is not knowledgeable in this area. He has been detained so many times, so I doubt he learned anything good in there..."
