Chapter 31 Liam Hamilton
In the leisure area near the banquet hall, Shirley noticed an increasing crowd gathering
She was wary of provoking Liam further or risking him saying something out of line to Robin.
She felt certain that if things escalated, with Robin’s temperament, he wouldn’t hesitate to confront Liam directly.
Steadying herself after the kiss on Robin’s face, Shirley gave a gentle smile.
“Mr. Liam, let’s avoid any further misunderstandings. Il enter the hall with my boyfriend first.”
Liam’s eyes momentarily darkened, but he quickly maintained his charming, gentlemanly expression.
“Of course, Shirley,” he replied, gesturing for her to proceed.
Shirley took Robin’s arm, guiding him toward the hall.
Meanwhile, Liam signaled a waiter, requesting a glass of red wine. He downed several glasses, gradually tempering his intense anger.
Observing the situation, guests quickly offered polite remarks before discreetly departing, not wanting to be the target of Liam’s wrath.
Many sensed that today’s events wouldn’t go unaddressed by him.
Oscar and Carol, uneasy and visibly anxious, approached Liam
“Mr. Liam, please understand–Shirley has always been a bit headstrong. Don’t be upset,” Oscar pleaded.
“We had no clue about this, Carol added hastily. “Robin has likely misled her with smooth talk. We’ll make sure to handle this through her grandfather! Please don’t think poorly of her, Mr. Liam”
Taking a deep breath, Liam swirled the wine in his glass, his expression ning.
“It’s okay. I know Shirley is willful and naughty. I’ve always said that as be patient with her.”

Just then, Eric burst in, visibly upset.
“Liam, I was attacked by that Robin Ramsey over at Violeterest Bar!”
Eric went on to recount the story, clearly exaggerating the details to incite Liam further.
“Robin again?” Liam seethed. “Get to the bottom of who this brazen guy is!”
He kicked Eric in frustration. “How many times must I tell you to show some restraint? Apart from your foolish antics with women and causing chaos, what else are you capable of?”
“Liam, it was Robin who started it!” Eric protested, but Liam cut him off, casting a cold look at Eric’s bodyguards. “What exactly are you being paid for?”
The bodyguards quickly dropped to their knees. “Mr. Lam, we didn’t want to cause trouble at Violeterest
“Fine. I know you have your reasons, Liam replied, his herce expression softening as he forced a smile.
But as the bodyguards started to feel relieved, he continued coldly. If you can’t handle a simple task, this will be your last chance. Have their hands and feet severed, and throw them into the seal”
“Mr. Liam, please spare us! We- some of the guards pleaded desperately.
Liam’s men swiftly gagged them, covered their heads, and led them out of the Violeterest Convention Center.
Oscar and Carol watched in horror and barely dared to breathe.
“Robin, Shirley… Well, well!”
Liam chuckled, adjusted his bow tie, and walked back toward the banquet hall.
At a distance, Alice had witnessed the whole scene. She stayed frozen in place, only breathing out once Liam had gone inside.
That Robin, clueless fool. I just hope he doesn’t drag the Millers down with him,” she muttered..
Vera looked amused. “Alice, you’re overthinking it.
“Didn’t you see how affectionate Shirley was with Robin? That kiss was enough to make anyone envious.
“Even if he’s crossed Liam, Shirley will back him up–none of this involves you.”
“What do you mean?” Alice looked angry. “What if Mr. Liam learns that Robin was once engaged to me?”
“Didn’t you end that engagement yourself?” Vera replied, smirking.
“Alright, Alice, stop overthinking it. Besides, Robin may be more comp
Alice frowned. “Vera, it seems like you’re always defending Robin.
“Have you fallen for him or something? It’s dangerous for you to do this!”
Vera smiled bitterly, murmuring, “If Robin were truly what he seems, I’d be thrilled.”
She turned and added, “Anyway, let’s go. The cocktail party’s about to start.”
