Renee gasped. She was afraid that Liam might actually lose control and beat Stefan up. There were so


    many people around, and they were both from respectable families – it wouldn’t look good if anything


    happened.


    Renee quickly stood up to drag Liam back, but Leia stopped her. “Don’t worry, Renee, you know my


    brother won’t do anything stupid. Just wait and see.”


    “You’re right…” Only then did Renee sit down.


    Liam was Master Osborne, a famous elite in Beach City. He was known for his intelligence, and many


    bigshots had been punished by him for misbehaving. He definitely wouldn’t do anything stupid!


    When Stefan saw Liam walking over, his expression remained nk and he acted as if he couldn’t


    even see Liam.


    Xavier, who was much more straightforward, stood up and red at Liam.” What’s your problem?” He


    asked in an unfriendly tone.


    Liam smiled. “No need to get riled up, mate, I mean no harm. On the contrary, since you’re all older,


    I’ve always looked upto you. Fate brought us together today, so I was thinking of having a few drinks


    together and making some new friends.”


    Xavier was very annoyed. ’Don’t make it sound like we’re that much older. We’re barely a few years


    apart.”


    On the other hand, Christopher was much friendlier. He pointed at the empty seat next to him. “Master


    Osborne, you have a good reputation. You’ve managed to elevate the Osborne family to greater


    heights, and my father always has good things to say about you. I’ve long wanted to make your


    acquaintance. Please take a seat.’


    “Thank you, Mr. Jacobs. It’s my pleasure.” Liam sat next to Stefan with the bottle of wine in his hand.


    It was undeniably an awkward situation.


    Everyone knew that Liam had been closest to Renee after she and Stefan got divorced. In fact, the two


    had even been photographed together at the gynecology department, and people suspected they were


    getting ready to have children together.


    Now, Renee’s ex-husband and current boyfriend were sitting next to each other… It felt somewhat like


    a battlefield.


    Xavier continued to defend Stefan. “Christopher, why are you being so nice? He’s Renee’s boyfriend,


    and he probably made her cheat on Stefan. It’s taking all my willpower to not beat him up!’


    ‘Don’t make jokes like that,” Christopher scolded Xavier, then turned to face Liam. “I’m sure you and


    Renee are purely a couple. It’s not asplicated as we imagine, right?’


    Liam chuckled. “You’re funny, Mr. Jacobs. We’re a couple… How can anything be pure? I’ve made my


    feelings for Renee very obvious, and there’s nothing pure about it!”


    After Liam said this, everyone looked at Stefan. However, Stefan took a sip of alcohol without saying


    anything. He didn’t seem to care at all.


    “Christopher, you heard what he said. He’s clearly here to provoke us. I think you-” Xavier started


    heatedly, but stopped when Christopher sent him a warning re.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Christopher might seem like a handsome and quiet person, but he was ten times more aggressive than


    Stefan when he was angry.


    Although the Jacobs family wasn’t one of the eight most powerful families in Beach City, the family had


    been involved in politics for generations. They had connections that spanned far and wide in the


    country’s politics, so he was definitely someone you didn’t want to piss off!


    Since Christopher had weed Liam to the group, Xavier would be disrespecting Christopher if he


    kept threatening Liam.


    Finally, Xavier decided he would just shut his mouth and watch the show!
