Chapter 1003 For a Woman
Liam noticed Triston’s determined gaze towards Audrey. He introduced himself with a smile, “I’m Liam Black, new in Casier. If you don’t mind, let’s be friends. But this woman has offended me, so she must stay.”
In Liam’s view, he had shown Triston enough respect. But if Triston didn’t reciprocate, it would be his problem. Confidently, Liam awaited Triston’s response, believing he would handle
the situation wisely.
Triston glanced at the host, Gabriel Williamson, and remarked in a cold tone, “Gabriel, you have invited a very interesting guest, haven’t you?”
The chilling look made Gabriel shiver involuntarily. In Casier, everyone knew about the Lamberts and the Duncans. Though not as prominent as the Duncans, the Lamberts were not to be trifled with.
Triston seemed friendly and talkative on the surface, unlike Branden, who was cold and ruthless. However, Triston was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Crossing him was more disastrous than crossing Branden.
Triston’s words sent a shiver down Gabriel’s spine. “Mr. Lambert, it’s a misunderstanding. Let’s forget about this, shall we?”
Triston pulled out a chair and gestured for Audrey to sit. She didn’t refuse, as Triston’s arrival meant she no longer needed to disturb Catherine.
Gabriel, noticing Triston’s attitude towards Audrey, regretted involving her in today’s event. He hadn’t anticipated her connection to Triston.
As Gabriel was about to speak, Triston said coldly, “Who the hell do you think you are, Gabriel? Why should I listen to you?”
This simple statement completely stripped Gabriel of his dignity, leaving Gabriel to retreat in embarrassment.
Liam’s eyes darkened as he said in an icy voice, “I only respected you because Mr. Williamson is here. Since you’re so arrogant, I guess I need to teach you a lesson.”
Liam took out his phone to call for assistance. Triston, however, remained calm, casually asking Audrey if she’d like something to eat.
Audrey was momentarily perplexed by Triston’s demeanor, unsure of what he was thinking.
After making several phone calls, Liam’s face gradually paled. He stared at Triston in disbelief, asking, “What have you done?”
Triston smiled faintly, and a cold glint in his eyes pierced through Liam like a sharp blade. “Oh, I forgot to tell you. I own this hotel.”
Finally understanding why his reinforcements couldn’t enter this hotel, Liam glared at Triston and asked in a cold voice, “What do you want?”
Triston pointed to the glass shards on the ground and said, “Do what you just said.”
Kim, standing nearby, almost burst out laughing.
Liam was about to continue his bravado when his phone suddenly rang. Answering the call, his expression paled as he looked at Triston. “What have you done to me?”
If Triston hadn’t been worried about scaring Audrey, he would have dealt with Liam a long time ago. “Here’s your chance. Do what you just said, or from today, you won’t be leaving Casier, ” he said firmly, confident that he could follow through on his words.
Liam hesitated for a moment, but his attitude had softened considerably, even to the point of pleading. “Mr. Lambert, I’m willing to give up a project. We don’t need to go to such lengths for a woman, right?”
“For a woman?” Triston scoffed, picked up the plates on the table and smashed them on the floor, causing it to be littered with shards.
“Liam, the woman you’re talking about holds a special place in my heart. But you insulted her. I’m not gonna let you get away with it.”
Liam had thought Triston was just infatuated with Audrey, thinking she was just a plaything and that he could keep her around with some money. He hadn’t expected her to be Triston’s woman. This was going to be a real problem.
Liam had just received news that the Lamberts had already taken action against his company, and if he couldn’t resolve this matter tonight, he might face bankruptcy. After over a decade of hard work, he couldn’t let it all go to ruin.
Reluctantly, Liam followed Triston’s instructions and knelt in front of Audrey. His legs landed on the glass shards, and blood instantly seeped out, staining the floor.
Triston was about to make him crawl over when Audrey suddenly spoke up. ” That’s enough!”
Triston glanced at her, and Audrey grabbed her bag and left, ignoring Triston.
“Wait for me. I’ll take you back!” Triston called out.
As Triston and Audrey departed, the onlookers assumed the matter had concluded. However, a group of menacing figures dressed in black stormed in, which frightened Gabriel and the other guests, who instinctively huddled and protected their heads.
The black-clad group of men smashed the things in the room with sticks but didn’t harm anyone. Before leaving, they warned Liam, “Our boss said we’ll let you off today. Starting tomorrow, if we catch sight of you in Casier, we’ll beat the crap out of you.” After delivering the warning, they swaggered out.
Once they were gone, Gabriel got up from the ground. Liam glared at him, huffing, “Are you not going to do something?”
Someone whispered, “Mr. Black, what else can I do? I had someone check Miss Swann’s background. She’s not someone to be trifled with.”
The person then revealed Audrey’s background. Liam’s face turned ashen once more. He realized that he had offended someone he shouldn’t have.
