Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor)

Chapter 105 Liam is Dead

Chapter 105 Liam is Dead

He remained silent, his breathing becoming heavier.

His phone buzzed, and an email came in.

He flipped through the information.

As he suspected, Jericho had a grudge against the real Liam in the past.

"Master Noah." Andrew continued on the other end, "When Jericho was eighteen, he was imprisoned

for intentional injury and was sentenced to ten years. However, due to his good behavior in prison, he

was released two years early."

"These past two years, he has been flourishing in Eldoria, taking over several major gangs. But there

are also rumors that he rose to power by inciting those big shots and secretly getting rid of them, which

was why he became influential."

Noah furrowed his brow, gently massaging his temples.

"Now Jericho has many bars and nightclubs under his control, but they are all just a front. He is

involved in illegal activities."

Noah asked in a low voice, "What was his situation in prison?"

Andrew coughed lightly twice. "He used to be a leader in prison. It is said that even among inmates,

there are different levels. Someone like Jericho, who was sent to jail for murder and injury, is highly

respected by other inmates."

"As for Liam... he was a rapist and the most despised."

"What?" Noah was very surprised. He had taken over the identity of a rapist!

"Wasn't he just an ordinary thug who knew how to fight?"

"Master Noah." Andrew smiled bitterly. "How could an ordinary thug be imprisoned and released so

many times?"

Noah furrowed his brow, his temples throbbing even more.

"Liam was a habitual offender. It is said that the youngest girl he violated was only sixteen..."

Noah took a deep breath, exhaling heavily.

How disgusting!

Not only did Jericho look down on Liam, but he despised Liam even more.

Fortunately, Liam was already dead.

"Master Noah, it's best for you to stay away from Jericho. He has some influence now. Although it's not

comparable to the Martinez family, he is involved in the underworld, and we have completely different

rules. If by any chance he..."

"Alright, I understand." Noah knew what Andrew was going to say.

If Jericho intentionally caused trouble because of his past conflicts and contempt for Liam, it would be

easy for Jericho to realize that Noah and Liam were not the same person at all.

Right now, Noah wasn't afraid of anything else. He was only afraid that Stella would find out.

Although she would eventually find out that he was Noah, he wanted to explain it to her slowly. Before

that, there must not be any accidents.

Noah hung up the phone, took a towel, and wiped himself off before walking out.

Stella was already asleep, lying on the bed with her arms spread open, one leg curled up and the other

stretched out, occupying the entire bed.

Noah smiled. His wife's sleeping posture was indeed not beautiful.

But he just liked it.

He walked over gently and pecked her forehead, covering her with the blanket. Then he quietly turned

back to the living room.

The land acquisition plan for the Martinez family in the western district of Emberfall was only halfway

through. Currently, he needed to find a way to attract funds from Mintwale to facilitate the project

together.

However, Sir Martinez, who was naturally suspicious, had always been on guard against his

grandfather's family and was unwilling to cooperate easily.

Noah pinched his forehead, opened his computer, and continued working on the proposal.

After an unknown amount of time, he straightened his body and wanted to pour a glass of water but

suddenly noticed Stella standing at the bedroom door, groggily looking at him.

"Darling, what are you doing?"

Noah was startled but remained calm as he closed the computer.

"I couldn't sleep, so I got up to watch the news."

"It's the middle of the night... Is there news to watch?"

"It's some old news from before. I'm bored, so I'm just casually browsing."

Stella nodded. Feeling still sleepy, she leaned lightly against his shoulder.

Noah embraced her, his nose rubbing against her thick, long hair, the faint fragrance in her hair

refreshing his mind.

If it weren't for considering her period...

Noah took a deep breath, desperately suppressing his desire.

Lately, he was becoming more and more sexually impulsive.

"Darling." Stella's voice was soft and sweet. "There's something I want to discuss with you."

"What's wrong?"

"My dad talked to me once. He wants me to work at the Taylor Group. He said the salary he could offer

is three times higher than here, so I won't have to worry about my mom's medical expenses anymore."

Noah frowned, and a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.

Henry was an old fox, and his intentions were far from being as simple as they appeared on the

surface.

"What do you think?"

"Me?" Stella smiled, seeing through it all. "Do you think my dad is so kind to let me go back? He never

fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, but now he suddenly wants me to work at the Taylor Group. Isn't

that strange?"

Noah's knitted eyebrows gradually relaxed, and he smiled.

He knew that his wife was clever and not easily fooled, nor would she be blinded by so-called "family

ties".

"What he loves most is the power he has." Stella continued, "But recently, Amelia has been dishonest,

which made him wary. By asking me to go back, he's just giving Amelia a warning, letting her know that

besides her, he has the other daughter."

"Perhaps, if we think even worse of him..." Stella curled up, her chin resting on her knees, her big eyes

twinkling. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"He wants to sit back and watch us fight. Ha, he just wants to use me to restrain Amelia."

Noah was taken aback and then chuckled.

"Do you really think so?"

"Yes." Stella looked up at him. "Darling, will you find me terrible because I think of my father so cold-

blooded?"

"No." Noah shook his head, his expression gentle and calm. "I'm relieved."

"What?"

"I'm relieved that you can think this way. It means that you're smart and not just an innocent girl." His

voice grew low and deep. "It also means that you can take care of yourself. So even if one day I'm not

by your side... you'll still be fine."

Stella took a moment to react and suddenly felt that something was wrong with what he said!

"Darling, what are you talking about?" She anxiously held his hand, her big eyes staring at him. "What

do you mean by that? Are you... leaving me?"

Noah's heart tightened, and he forced a smile.

Stella noticed that he still had the red string tied around his wrist.

"Do you really believe what that old lady said?" she asked in a low voice.

"I..." He licked his lips, unsure of what to say.

The problems between the two of them would eventually surface like an iceberg hidden beneath the

water. He would do everything to protect her, but he couldn't guarantee that he could still hold her in his

arms like he did now.

"I'm just being cautious." Noah chuckled. "Didn't the old lady say that we would be separated?"

"But she also said that we would eventually be happy together!"

That was the difference of Stella. She was like a sunflower, always able to see the bright side.

But Noah's inherent pessimism, caution, and vigilance were engraved in his blood and bones. No

matter what happened, he always prepared for the worst.

"Yes, we will be happy." He smiled and rubbed her hair. "Let's not talk about this anymore. We were

discussing your decision about going back to the Taylor Group, right? I want to hear what you've finally

decided."
