Chapter 86 Does He Know About Stocks?
After hanging up the phone, Liam calmed down for a few seconds before calling Stella to confirm if she
was safe.
The voice on the other end was weak and filled with helplessness.
"Darling, the two directors insisted on treating the clients to dinner tonight... Alas, you know that our
biggest client now is Amelia. I have to go."
"Yeah, it's okay." Liam didn't mention that Amelia had called him. "Where are you having dinner? Send
me the address and I'll come pick you up."
Stella agreed with a smile and quickly sent him the address.
Liam checked and realized it was the same address Amelia had sent him.
At first, he was worried that Amelia had some sort of conspiracy, trying to lure him away. But now it
seemed like Amelia wasn't lying.
But why did Amelia specifically call him and ask him to join their dinner?
Liam pondered for a moment.
Regardless of the reason, it would be better for him to go just in case.
......
Halfway through the meal, the atmosphere at the table started to heat up. Several men toasted each
other and tried their best to flatter Amelia.
Stella never enjoyed these social gatherings, and now she felt even more exhausted.
She kept looking at her watch, and strangely enough, every minute and second seemed to pass by
extremely slowly. The end of the dinner seemed distant, and the open and secret power struggle
between the sales and marketing directors was irritating. Just as she was thinking of making an excuse
to step outside for some fresh air, she suddenly heard Amelia's sharp voice.
"Hey, everyone, hold off on drinking for a moment!"
Everyone immediately put down their glasses and looked at her in silence.
"Heh, a mysterious guest is coming later!" Amelia turned to Stella, her lips curling with a sinister smile.
"Stella, after all, we are family! Although you didn't marry well, you two are already married, and he is
my brother-in-law! Heh, having him experience this kind of occasion a few more times will be beneficial
for him, right?"
"What did you say?" Stella's heart skipped a beat. "Did you call Liam here?"
Before Amelia could reply, someone lightly knocked on the private room's door.
Sure enough, Liam walked in from behind the door, and Stella stared blankly, her mind going blank.
Amelia definitely had some evil intentions!
She called Liam here with the sole purpose of humiliating him!
In a panic, Stella rushed to Liam's side and gently held his hand. However, he turned to look at her and
gave her a reassuring smile.
Stella was thinking about how to help Liam out of this predicament.
But Amelia quickly approached, her voice loud. "Let me introduce him! This is my brother-in-law, Liam!"
Liam looked around and nodded in greeting. However, the men present seemed to sense the inherent
pressure emanating from him and all avoided his gaze.
Amelia laughed and said, "Stella, stop standing there like an idiot! Hurry up. Let Liam sit next to you
and join us in eating!"
"I'm afraid that Liam has never been to such a hotel before... Ha-ha, he's really lucky to be with you!" Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Stella wanted to retort angrily, but Liam gently squeezed her hand, giving her a reassuring pinch.
Liam remained calm and composed, gracefully taking his seat next to Stella.
Although he didn't speak, his demeanor was extraordinary. Even David, someone who had seen and
experienced a lot, couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows slightly, carefully observing Liam.
Only Amelia firmly believed that Liam was a poor and worthless thug. In order to humiliate Stella, she
went to great lengths.
"Liam, what have you been up to lately? Have you been learning about finance and trade from Stella?"
"Stella, you should teach your husband. Otherwise, the gap between the two of you will only widen,
and you will eventually go your separate ways! After all, your husband is not knowledgeable in this
area. He has been detained so many times, so I doubt he learned anything good in there..."
"Sis." Stella looked at Amelia coldly. "Is today's meal not to your liking?"
"It's fine. What's wrong?"
"Since it suits your taste, eat more. The more you eat, the less you talk!"
"You..." Amelia widened her eyes. "What does it have to do with you how much I eat? I was just
chatting casually. Your husband hasn't said anything yet. Why are you so sensitive?"
"Hey, Miss Taylor, relax!" Mr. Zach raised his glass and said with a smile, "Stella just advised you to eat
more, which was her good intention! Come on, I'll drink this glass of wine first as a toast!"
Amelia snorted, raised her head, and gulped down her wine.
Stella suppressed her anger, her lips tightly pressed together, and her fist under the table was
trembling slightly.
She looked at Liam who had a calm expression and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Amelia must have invited him under Stella's name, but he shouldn't have come. Now he had to endure
the humiliation... This dinner was different from the previous banquet. They could slip out from a side
door during the banquet, but with just a few people at this dinner, it wouldn't be good if they left so
blatantly.
"Darling," Stella whispered, feeling aggrieved. "I'm really sorry..."
Liam chuckled, held her hand, and served her a cornball that she loved.
He heard the people at the table starting to discuss stocks.
Phoenix Group, Starlight Securities, and Wissington...
Liam furrowed his brows slightly, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
"Are you interested in these stocks, everyone?"
His deep and magnetic voice was like a stone thrown into the water, causing ripples to spread.
Everyone was stunned and almost turned their gaze toward him at the same time.
"Uh, Mr. Anderson, do you know about stocks too?"
"Humph, he knows nothing about it!" Amelia was supercilious. "I'm afraid he doesn't even know how to
spell the names we mentioned!"
"Who said that?" Stella immediately retorted, "My Darling usually reads a lot of financial news and even
knows several languages! Right, Darling?"
Liam chuckled. "These stocks are relatively obscure, but they can be considered as potential
investments. You can think about it."
The group of people exchanged glances. After a moment of silence, someone said with a fake smile,
"Actually... we didn't plan to invest in these stocks. I've studied the market trend, and these stocks can't
be considered as potential investments. They're more like dying industries! Ha-ha!"
Amelia joined in their mockery and laughed even more proudly. While laughing, she looked at Stella
and Liam with disdain.
"How could someone who has been in jail know about stocks? I'd rather believe that pigs can fly!"
"Ha-ha..."
"Now, Solaris Estate is the one with the momentum. If you don't buy these stocks, you'll be at a loss!"
Stella bit her lip, her head almost drooping to her chest.
Liam didn't care. When they finished laughing, he held Stella's hand and walked toward the door.
"Let me give you all some advice again." He turned around at the doorway. His expression was cold,
and there were no smiles in his eyes. "Solaris Estate is not as good as it seems. In any case, investing
carries risks, so you'd better be careful. Stocks can easily lead to bankruptcy. It's really not worth it!"
The people in the room were stunned for a moment. Watching Liam and Stella leave, they burst into
mocking laughter again.
"Hey, he knows nothing about it, does he?"
"That's right! I bet this guy hasn't even finished elementary school. Miss Taylor, Stella is truly brave.
She even dared to marry someone like him!"
"Come on, let's continue drinking..."
No one paid attention to Liam's words.
However, David was the only one who took notice and quietly made a phone call to a friend at the stock
exchange.
