Chapter 824



.

Nora spoke very lightly, but her words briefly stunned Mrs. Long.

The latter frowned, but still thought the woman in front of her was just talking big, so she said, “Well, let’s wait and see then!”.

After speaking, she looked at Liam viciously and said, “Why are you acting like a knight in shining armor here? I’ll wait for you to come crying and beg me tomorrow.”

He snorted loudly and went inside his house.

After Mrs. Long entered, Liam finally looked at Nora.

Nora immediately said, “You won’t get fired, don’t worry.”

This was an affirmation.

However, Liam obviously did not believe her. He smiled wryly and said, “You don’t have to blame yourself. Don’t worry, I joined NTT in my own capacities, so even if I get fired, I can support Rene and me. We are neighbors and even compatriots, so let’s take care of each other in the future.”

He entered the house with an anxious look on his face. Then, the sound of Liam gently reassuring Rene was heard from the house.

Nora did not enter her house.

Instead, she stood outside and listened for a while.

Something was very wrong with the state René was in. Not only was she wearing torn clothes, but her hair was dirty and greasy, making her look like a street homeless person.

Furthermore, when she heard Mrs. Long say that her boyfriend would be fired, her reaction had also been very abnormal, so much so that it even made Nora doubt whether Liam was a good boyfriend or not.

After all, Liam led a glamorous life outside, so why would Rene look like that at home?

She was worried that Liam wasn’t what he seemed, so she had deliberately stayed behind to spy on them.

Recently, surfing the internet, she’d learned that a lot of men emotionally manipulated their girlfriends. They would say things like ‘It’s a blessing that an excellent man like me is interested in you’ and ‘No one will love you but me,’ and use notions like these to completely control a woman’s thoughts and make them feel like they couldn’t live without them.

The fact that Rene was unemployed and the way she had been so frightened and horrified at the thought of Liam being fired was very similar to how women would behave under the control of their boyfriends.

However, although she listened to them for a long while, all Nora heard was Liam calming Rene down in an extremely patient manner. Rene’s condition also gradually improved.

Although he kept apologizing, in the end, the two of them sweetly went off to prepare dinner.

Liam treated Rene sincerely.

Nora turned and went back to her villa.

Cindy was preparing dinner for her and the children. When she saw her, she said, “I didn’t go out when Mrs. Long came…”.

She feared that Mrs. Long would be suspicious of Nora’s identity if she saw her.

Nora nodded, indicating that she had done the right thing. Then she asked, “What about Rene and Liam from next door?”

Cindy replied, “Liam is really a very nice man and he loves Rene very much too. Liam graduated from a famous university and also comes from a very good family. But of all people, he just fell in love with Rene, who has been a victim of domestic violence since she was a child. Doesn’t Rene look like a beggar in front of him? When Liam took her home, her family disapproved of their relationship, so she decided to simply move out and live alone with Rene. jeez! For Rene, Liam is her redemption.”

Nora: “…”

Her eyebrows drew together a little. “What’s wrong?” asked Cindy. Nora smiled, “It’s nothing.”

Then she added, “I was thinking, I’ve never seen love like this before.

A handsome, perky boy who was on the heights who had also been raised in a well-to-do family, and a grubby girl who was shy, overly cautious and nervous…. Whichever way you looked at it, they just seemed like an odd combination.

However, to give the loving couple a happy ending, Nora picked up her phone and made a call.

“Yes, it’s me. Make some arrangements for me: I want to fire someone and retain someone else in the company.”

Early the next morning.

When Liam woke up, he saw that Rene was already up and making him breakfast.

Rene’s nails were a bit long and the bottoms were also a bit dirty. She looked unkempt, but Liam knew it was because she didn’t dare cut her nails.

Ever since she was a little girl, cutting her nails had always been a form of torture for her.

Her adoptive parents abused her and had even gone so far as to pull out her nails. The pain made her never want to cut her nails in her entire life.

Therefore, she never cut her nails unless absolutely necessary. Usually, when they were too long, he would bite them off.

He put a slice of butter between the slices of bread and handed it to Liam.

Not finding it messy, Liam took the bread and took a bite.

When he finished his breakfast, he gave Rene a kiss on the forehead. Rene’s gaze became both kind and blissful at the same time, the way she looked at him was as if he was the only light in her life.

Liam smiled and pinched her cheek. “Why are you so cute, Rene? Don’t worry, even if I get fired, I’ll find a way to feed us, so don’t be afraid.”

Rene nodded happily. Then, he said, “Well, you don’t need to get fired from the company. Besides…besides, I-I can go get a job, too. I-I can contribute a little to this family, too.”

Liam touched his head. “Yes, my little Rene has grown up.”

After saying that, he grabbed a folder, put on a suit and left the house.

But after he left, his expression sank.

He expelled a sharp puff of air.

Fred turned out to be his superior. According to NTT rules, Fred could decide whether Liam stayed or left on his own.

Therefore, Liam knew there was no chance he would get lucky today.

As he was walking out with his head down, he happened to see Mrs. Long standing in the doorway and looking at him with a big smirk on her face.

“Liam, today I will show you how evil and sinister this society is! So what if you are a graduate of Staav University? If you have to blame anyone, then you can blame yourself for having bad taste and falling in love with such a dowdy woman. However, I can still give you a way out: how about breaking up with that woman? My niece is an excellent girl, I can introduce you to each other. If the two of you have a relationship, my son will take care of you …”
