Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor) novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49 Thrown Out Again

Liam froze.

Was his displeasure so obvious?

How could he be jealous of Oliver for no reason? From childhood to adulthood, Oliver had always followed him.

Liam cleared his throat and took a sip of water from his cup without saying a word.

But a pair of small hands gently wrapped around him.

Then the faint fragrance from her body found its way into his nose.

"Honey," Stella said softly with a flattering smile. "If you don't like to hear about my work, I won't talk about it."

Liam imperceptibly curled his lips as he felt better.

"It's not that I don't like to hear it." He turned to look at her and said slowly, "It's just that you've been talking about Oliver all night. Can you change it?"

Stella opened her eyes wide. "Change what?"

"For example..." he paused. "Wasn't that banquet hosted by the Martinez family? Then you must have heard of Mr. Noah Martinez?"

Stella thought for a while and shook her head lightly.

Liam's expression darkened slightly.

"Mr. Noah Martinez, you don't know?" he asked persistently.

"Why are you talking about him?" She glanced at him and went to the balcony to collect the washed clothes. She folded them one by one.

"I don't know this person. I haven't even seen him. What does his banquet have to do with me?"

Liam leaned over and watched her with interest. "But I heard that he is very powerful. The Martinez family controls the economic lifeline of Emberfall, and my famous ladies attended his party."

"You were at the hotel at that time. Weren't you curious about what he looked like? Didn't you want to go to the party and take a look?"
