The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 2106

Liam stood rooted to the spot, and didn't even move his head away. The teacup hit him squarely on the head, and the wound started to bleed.

Despite that, he said calmly and expressionlessly, 'It's your call, Mr. Jenkins. I'll support you unconditionally."

"Humph! Unconditionally?" Benjamin glared at him, furious. He said icily, "Mr. Waddell wants us to help him eliminate the ruffians at Southsand. Can you do that?"

"If you need me to do it, I won't say no," Liam replied, his composure unruffled. No one could tell what he was feeling.

Grayson Waddell looked at Liam, and nodded with satisfaction. "Ben, you've got a lot of foster sons, but I prefer Liam best. No wonder you picked him as your future son-in-law. I'm sure he won't have any problems inheriting your work."

"Quit praising him. Out of everyone, I despise him the most. Benjamin glared disdainfully at Liam. "He won my heart in the past, but he's getting more rebellious lately. He gets hostile easily, as if someone's forcing his hand. I'm sure he won't obey me and is trying to get rid of me."

"How could you say that? He looks honest and loyal. He's even bold enough to do what Noah does. He's risking his life, isn't he?'

"That's different. Whether he can do it or not is another story." Benjamin cleared his throat. "Liam. Since Mr. Waddell prefers you, I'll let you take charge of settling Southsand. If you can, I'll see you as my biological son and let you manage the whole fort. If you can't...

Benjamin's eyes grew fierce.

"Kill yourself for your mistakes!"

"Sure," Liam promised in a heartbeat. "I'll accept this task in front of Mr. Waddell,

"That's great! I believe our cooperation will be successful. It's getting late. I'll go now since I need to attend to something else." Since Grayson had gotten what he wanted, he didn't have to linger at that dangerous place.

That place was a fort, which was no different than Southsand. It was an area separated by ruffians. However, one of the parties was oppressing the other.

Since the superiors had no power to settle both parties, they could only use that method to make them fight against each other.

After working together with Benjamin, Grayson would let Benjamin bear all the risks. His superiors supported the notion secretly. Hence, Grayson met Benjamin in private, as if he were meeting his friend.

When Grayson was gone, Benjamin threw a handkerchief on Liam's head. He grabbed another cup of tea and sipped it leisurely. "That's all for business. Shouldn't we talk about our private affairs now?"

"I don't understand you. Mr. Jenkins, please clarify," Liam replied indifferently. He used the handkerchief to cover his injured forehead.

"I heard you've secretly sent out a team to a barbarian tribe to rescue a woman. You even burned that tribe down, didn't you?" Benjamin asked slowly.

"Yes, you're right," Liam admitted candidly.
