Chapter 4 You're Worthless
- The demand stunned the Snowdens.
- "You country bumpkin, why don't you just go rob a bank?"
- Osbert was seething with anger and barked, "Do you even know how much a 100 million is?
- "Grandpa, look at this guy. He doesn't even like my sister. There's no need to give him any money. Just kick him out!"
- "Grandpa, Liam's just upset. He doesn't actually want a 100 million!"
- Petra hurried to explain, then whispered into Liam's ear, "What are you thinking? My grandpa won't give you that much, not even 10 million!"
- "I was just throwing it out there. What if he agrees?"
- Liam smirked.
- After all, Petra wasn't really his girlfriend. He was more interested in taking the money and living his own life.
- "A hundred million, right? I'll give it to you!"
- A voice came from the door and a tall, fair-skinned man walked in.
- "See? There's always a sucker somewhere."
- Liam was pleased and asked, "Do you know this sucker?"
- Of course, Petra knew. She couldn't hide the disgust that flashed across her eyes when she saw the man.
- "Mr. Philip, you're here!"
- Osbert had already rushed up with a fawning smile.
- "Mr. Philip."
- Even Eric greeted him with polite respect.
- "Liam, right? I'm Philip Mallins. My family is one of the three noble houses of River City!"
- The tall man strode up to Liam, his face full of arrogance.
- "Everyone in River City knows how much I love Petra. If you disappear from her life forever, I'll give you that money!"
- "Mr. Philip, you're so handsome, generous, and kind!"
- Liam's grin stretched wide. "So, when do I get the money?
- "I'll leave the moment I get it!"
- Petra was on the verge of breaking down. This guy was a shameless money grabber!
- Once again, she realized he was much more tolerable when he was in a coma.
- "Hahaha!"
- Philip burst into a haughty laughter. "You idiot, did you really think I'd give you money?
- "A penniless orphan, a nobody who's been in a coma for three years. You wake up and think you can get rich overnight? What a joke!
- "Now that your true colors are exposed and Petra won't protect you anymore, you're worthless!
- "Leave now, or you won't just be a vegetable—you'll be a dead man!"
- "Are all you rich folks this unreliable with your words?"
- Liam was frustrated. If they gave him 100 million, he would've really left!
- "You fool, who the hell talks about trust with garbage like you?"
- Osbert sneered coldly, "A hundred million? You are as worthless as a stray dog. Ten grand would be too much!
- "Get out of my way, or I'll cripple you and feed you to the dogs!
- "Petra, are you seeing this? This is the man you have been protecting for three years."
- Eric was furious and bellowed, "Guards!
- "Throw this worthless trash out!"
- Eight burly bodyguards rushed at Liam.
- "Stop!"
- Petra quickly intervened. "No one is to touch Liam!"
- "Petra, are you still defending this worthless scum who treats you like a commodity?"
- Eric roared, "Pull Ms. Petra away and continue!"
- Two guards turned toward Petra and were ready to drag her away, while the rest kept charging at Liam.
- "Old fool, why don't you just drop your act? Aren't you just trying to sell her off for a good price?"
- Liam shot him a disdainful look as he swiftly moved.
- "Arghh!"
- "Ouch!"
- The guards collapsed to the ground in an instant.
- "I've been putting up with you for money long enough!"
- Liam suddenly appeared in front of Osbert and declared, "Since you're not paying up, I won't hold back!
- "You were going to cripple me, right? I'll start by breaking you!"
- Liam's foot crashed into Osbert's shin.
- Crack!
- Osbert let out a bloodcurdling scream, "Arghhhh!"
- Liam swiftly turned and seized Philip by the throat. His expression turned icy cold as he questioned, "You said you'd kill me?"
