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?"
