Chapter 82
At the Halls Group branch office, Brad sat in his general manager’s chair, extremely anxious
Since Liam took over the Hall family, Brad’s power was continuously eroded.
After the meeting of directors at headquarters ended, he called a few of his trusted aides, but they did not even pick up the phone. When he asked to meet them, those people either said they had something on or were not free.
Brad immediately sensed that something was wrong and instructed his assistant, “investigate what happened at the board meeting.”
The assistant went out to make a call. When he returned, he looked flustered and nervous. “Mr. Hall, the secretariat said Mr. Liam stood up in the conference room today.”
“What?” Brad’s face was filled with disbelief. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The assistant said carefully, “Mr. Liam’s legs are fine. He even said that he got your…”
“Talk,” Brad shouted.
The assistant said, “He said he has evidence that you Ads by PubFuture
framed him for the plane crash…”
Brad’s face instantly turned ashen. There was no way Liam was fine. He had been letting the people at Icovine Estate tamper with Liam’s food. He couldn’t believe Liam had recovered. Perhaps it was Emma.
Brad’s face was contorted as he ordered, “Tell our people to take action now and continue with the second plan.”
It had to be Emma. Emma was so capable that even Rafael’s family had to help her. She had to be the reason why Liam could stand up.
Brad could not let Liam return. He could not.
On the other hand, in the Halls Group’s headquarters, Liam left the conference room and walked straight to Emma after the meeting ended.
Emma could not suppress the excitement in her heart. When Liam got closer to her, she got up and threw herself into his arms. “This is great.” She could finally walk side by side with him openly. She had been waiting for this day for too long.

“Come with me to the office first, okay?” Liam said.
“Sure,” Emma replied.
Emma walked back to the CEO’s office hand in hand with Liam.
When they walked to the office door, the secretaries and assistants were stunned. “Mr. Hall, your legs…” They could not help but cover their mouths. Liam could stand after going to a meeting.
Liam said calmly, “They’ve recovered. Thanks for caring.”
“Congratulations, Mr. Hall,” they chorused. The secretaries and assistants of the General
Administration Department were all fired up. It was great news. Liam did not have a permanent disability.
At this moment, everyone noticed the person beside Liam. She had a high ponytail and was wearing a dark blue work suit. She looked clean and neat. Her oval face was delicate and fair, and her skin was great. Her eyebrows were dark and wild. Her hair was thick and her lips were well–defined. She was wearing red lipstick. It was a combination of dashing and charming looks that was very recognizable. Ads by PubFuture
Although she was standing beside Liam, she was not overshadowed at all. All of them wondered if she was Liam’s rumored girlfriend. The woman looked beautiful and dashing.
Liam’s secretaries and assistants were very discerning. They lined up neatly and bowed to Emma.
“Mrs. Hall,” they greeted.
“Good afternoon, Mrs. Hall,” another added.
Emma could not help but laugh. She had yet to graduate, so she was undoubtedly the youngest there. It was inexplicably funny to be greeted politely by a group of people who were ten years older than her.
Emma’s sparkling eyes glanced toward Liam. There was a trace of happiness and shyness in her eyes.
Liam also looked at Emma gently and said to everyone, “Alright. Get back to work. Mrs. Hall and I will go in first.”
Liam’s words made Emma laugh again.
After Liam finished speaking, his well–defined fingers intertwined with hers as he led her to his office.
The group of people said enthusiastically, “Bye, Mr. and Mrs. Hall.”
“The boss has two good news now. I hope they will have a child soon,” one of them said.

Emma could not help but laugh when she heard that. “Liam, your employees are so naughty.”
“That’s the only time they’ve been naughty in ten years. I can understand,” Liam replied.
Emma laughed out loud this time. She held hands with Liam as they walked. She could not help but look up at his side profile. She was not used to him suddenly being so tall. She had to look up to see his eyes. It felt really good to walk side by side with him like this.
After closing the door, Emma’s quietness and introvertedness instantly disappeared..
Liam sat on the CEO’s chair. In a flash, Emma spread her legs and sat on Liam’s lap, tugging at his tie. “You lied to me. Your legs recovered a long time ago, right?”
“Yeah.” Liam was honest. His fingers reached into Emma’s hair and gently stroked her ponytail. “It’s my fault. I made you suffer.”
“Hmph. I want you to make it up to me,” Emma said.
“Definitely,” Liam said dotingly and pecked Emma’s chin. Suddenly, he added, “Were you satisfied last night?”
Emma’s first reaction was that Liam was asking if she was satisfied with last night’s gathering. As she was about to say “yes“, she suddenly remembered the inexplicable soreness in her body this morning and asked suspiciously, “What happened after I got drunk last night? Why do I feel so strange this morning?”
Liam’s lips curled into a meaningful smile. “What do you think?”
Emma roughly guessed it. Thinking of what might have happened last night, her cheeks turned red. She found it hard to believe how he did it when she was so drunk. “You’re too much. I lost consciousness yesterday…”
“But I’m satisfied.” Liam’s warm lips landed on Emma again. She had drunk too much and didn’t remember, but he remembered it very clearly.
Smart, capable, and had big surprises. Emma was right.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. “Mr. Hall, bad news,” the assistant said.
Liam was a little displeased that their intimacy was interrupted. He continued to hug Emma’s waist as he asked, “What’s the matter?”
The assistant said, “Our new system has been attacked by hackers. We can’t hold on much longer.”

Liam frowned. “Where are the people from the technical department?”
72%
The assistant replied, “The technical department is doing its best to fill in the gaps, but they are very slow. If this continues, it will cause a huge loss to the company.”
The headquarters of the Halls Group had talents in charge of network security. However, most of these people were recruited by Brad. Liam did not have a 100% understanding of their strength. If it were his people, such a big company would definitely not be easily attacked by hackers.
As Liam was frowning, Emma smiled gently and hooked his tie. “Why don’t I try, Mr. Hall?”
