Liam's expression changed slightly.
Beside him, Andrew tipped him a wink and pointed not far away.
Through the car window, he saw Stella standing in a daze in the middle of the street, surrounded by a
bustling crowd. Behind her was the landmark building of Emberfall, the headquarters of the Martinez
Group.
Stella pressed the phone against her ear, waiting quietly for his answer.
He let out a sigh and chuckled. "In the past... I caused some trouble in Emberfall, so I stayed there for
some days."
Stella paused for a moment and immediately changed the topic.
Andrew had been watching him all along. Stella said something on the other end of the phone, and Mr.
Martinez smiled so happily.
He had never seen Mr. Martinez look so gentle before.
It wasn't until the call ended and Stella and her colleague walked away that Andrew asked in a low
voice, "Mr. Martinez, should we clear those places you mentioned to Miss Taylor in advance?"
"No need. Let her have fun as she pleases." Liam became as indifferent as usual. "Send more people
to protect her these days, but they must stay hidden and not let her see them."
"Yes, I see."This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
"And..." His eyes narrowed slightly. "Unless I intervene, do not let any member of the Martinez family
get close to her!"
......
The Martinez Manor was located on Evergreen Mountain in the south of Emberfall.
The entire manor was built along the mountain, grand and luxurious, like an independent kingdom. The
Martinez family, as the head of the four major families, controlled nearly half of the country's economic
lifeline.
Noah Martinez slowly walked down the stairs. The spacious living room was just lively but instantly
became silent.
His tall and sturdy figure was perfectly complemented by the wide black suit. His angular face was
resolute and firm, and his deep, cold eyes revealed a sense of detachment and vigilance toward the
whole world.
He glanced lightly at those flattering faces, nodded as a greeting, and had them sent away without
saying a word.
Since he returned to Emberfall two days ago, there had been a continuous stream of visitors every day.
After the air crash, there were rumors that Noah's charred remains couldn't be found and the Martinez
family was in constant turmoil. Everyone coveted the position of heir.
But now, Noah miraculously survived the disaster and returned.
Members of the Martinez family and other families who were ready to make trouble all wanted to find
out the truth and see what exactly was going on.
"Mr. Martinez." Andrew walked to Noah and whispered, "Mr. Christopher Martinez has sent people here
to ask many times."
Noah suddenly clenched his hand at his side.
After the news of his survival reached the Martinez family in Emberfall, his second uncle Christopher
was the most excited. It was said that he prayed in the church every day, wishing to announce to the
world how much he loved his nephew.
But the guiltier one was, the more he would put on a show for others.
Noah knew that Christopher was doing all of this for his grandfather's sake.
"Mr. Christopher Martinez is going to hold a welcoming party for you tomorrow evening at Evergreen
Manor." Andrew chuckled softly. "There are rumors that the Martinez family is using this party to select
your fiancee, so many renowned ladies from Emberfall and other cities will attend it."
"Humph, Uncle Christopher is really concerned about my marriage." Noah sneered. "He started picking
girlfriends for me since I went to university, didn't he?"
Over the years, Christopher had introduced more than ten women to Noah, all of whom were instructed
by Christopher. However, Noah saw through each one of them and ruthlessly drove them out of
Emberfall.
He wondered what kind of trick Christopher would play at the party tomorrow night.
"Have Oliver and Caleb both returned?" Noah lazily played with the flowers on the windowsill.
"Yes." Andrew nodded. "They will also attend the party tomorrow night."
"Hmm. Let them handle it carefully, especially Oliver. Keep an eye on him and make sure he drinks less
and doesn't say anything inappropriate."
After giving his instructions, Noah went upstairs.
Suddenly, he felt that the staircase was endless as if he could never reach the end no matter how he
walked.
When he returned to his room, he felt exhausted. He fell onto the bed, one hand resting on his
forehead. He began to miss the small rented house in Eldoria.
In that house, there were also flowers on the balcony. Stella planted the purple irises herself. She liked
to sit in a small chair there, basking in the sun. The sunlight shone on her face, and her smile was as
brilliant as crystal.
He got up and entered the dressing room, taking out a belt and rubbing it in his hands for a long time.
This belt was bought by Stella for him.
At that time, she only had three thousand dollars left in her bank account, but when he said he liked it,
she transferred the money to him without hesitation. She even had a special way of explaining it - "A
wife should buy a belt for her husband. It means she wants to tie her man to her firmly!"
"If we're going to buy one, let's buy a good one, sturdy and durable. I can tie you by my side for a
lifetime!"
A warm smile appeared on his lips.
There were countless luxury belts in his dressing room, but he had never cared about these
extravagant items.
However, he couldn't bear to wear this belt. His heart would ache even if there was just a light scratch.
Noah took a deep breath and quickly changed into the T-shirt and jeans he wore when he came from
Eldoria. Finally, he felt that he looked normal in the mirror.
This was Liam, the man who belonged to Stella alone.
