Chapter 426

"Miss Sullivan, I've heard you're just an adopted daughter of the Sullivan family."

"Your status is quite low."

"To secure this deal from me, you'll need to offer something in return."

Mr. Richard Chamberlain narrowed his eyes.

He moved closer with ill intentions.

Isabella Sullivan's face turned pale.

She stepped back repeatedly.

"Mr. Chamberlain, if my brother finds out, he will never let you go..."

Mr. Chamberlain laughed loudly.

"By then, I'll just tell Mr. Sullivan that you seduced me to get the contract!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

He turned around sharply.

He found Liam Sullivan standing behind him.

Liam's face was dark and stormy.

Mr. Chamberlain was terrified out of his wits.

He quickly waved his hands.

"Mr. Sullivan, what a coincidence..."

"I was just discussing cooperation with Miss Sullivan..."

Before he could finish, Liam kicked him hard.

Mr. Chamberlain was sent flying.

He landed heavily on the ground.

He was in too much pain to get up.

Liam looked at him coldly.

"I'll settle this with you later."

He turned to Isabella who was crouching on the ground.

She was trembling all over.

Her small face was flushed with an unnatural redness.

Liam scooped her up into his arms.

Isabella immediately wrapped her arms around his neck.

Her eyes were dazed.

"Brother, I feel so unwell..."

"He drugged me. I'm so hot..."

Her voice was soft and hoarse.

Her breathing was scorching.

She squirmed restlessly in his arms.

"Brother, I feel like I'm dying."

Liam pressed his thin lips together.

His eyes were deep and dark.

"Endure it. I'm taking you to the hospital."

"No..." She bit her crimson lips.

She shook her head desperately.

"If people see me like this, I'll be too ashamed to show my face..."

"Grandma and Grandpa already don't like me."

"I don't want them to look down on me even more."

Oliver Winston had just finished his call with Vivian Bennett.

He noticed Liam had been gone for a long time.

He was worried the aphrodisiac wine Liam drank would take effect.

He feared Liam would just find any woman to solve the problem.

He rushed out of the private dining room.

He happened to see Liam walking past him.

Liam was carrying a slender woman in a suit.

"Liam, what's..."

Liam seemed not to hear him.

He strode away quickly.

He soon disappeared around the corridor.

Oliver blinked his peach blossom eyes.

He was stunned.

The woman in Liam's arms just now... was that Isabella?

"What are you looking at?" Ethan Roscente patted Oliver's shoulder.

Oliver was startled.

He turned and glared at Ethan.

He muttered quietly, "It seems I was wrong."

"Wrong about what?"

Oliver looked in the direction where Liam disappeared.

"Liam's heart probably still belongs to Isabella."

"Perhaps you always want what you can't have."

Otherwise, why would he leave with Isabella after drinking the aphrodisiac wine?

Oliver and Ethan returned to the private dining room.

Oliver suddenly remembered he had called Vivian over.

He quickly slapped his forehead.

"Oh no, I need to call Vivian again."

Vivian was already on her way to the club when she received Oliver's call.

"He already left?" Vivian frowned.

Her grip on the steering wheel tightened.

"Didn't you say he drank most of the bottle of aphrodisiac wine?"

Oliver laughed dryly.

"I made a mistake."

"He didn't drink the aphrodisiac wine. It was just regular wine."

"He already went home."

Vivian pressed her lips together.

She felt Oliver's story was inconsistent.

There must be something wrong here.
