The eyes that were filled with concern for Liam turned into poisonous ice when they looked at me!
Fury, disgust, and... "I knew it" contempt!
He didn't hesitate for a second!
Didn't ask "is it true?"
Didn't check the debris trajectory!
To him, Liam's word was law!
And I was the jealous, malicious "lowlife"!
"Noah. Shen! You cheap thing who climbed into my bed! How dare you hurt Liam?"
Julian squeezed my name through his teeth, every word a storm.
I wanted to laugh, but held it in.
I didn't explain. Just looked at him, silent.
Liam sobbed louder, adding fuel to the fire.
Julian looked at me like I was rotting garbage.
The next second, right in front of me, in front of the sobbing Liam, he whipped out his phone and called HR!
"Director Li! Draft a termination letter! Fire Noah Shen! Immediately! Notify the whole company! Reason?"
He sneered, eyes cutting me like knives.
"Noah Shen has bad conduct, intentionally hurting an important guest! Tell him to pack his shit and get out!"
"Fine. I'll go. Julian, I really don't want you anymore!"
