The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

"Guardian lord… What are you saying? Why don't you want to go back? We need you…"

Mheera was shaken after hearing Liam's words. She couldn't understand his decision.

Liam put on a faint smile as he answered Mheera's question.

"I got accustomed to living in this place. I want to stay here and continue my new life."

Mheera shook her head in disbelief. How could he abandon them? He was their leader.

"They don't need me there. You said the new leader is doing great. Aside from that, the demon god's daughter is no longer a threat to our world. Our world will be safe for everyone."

"Don't say these, my lord. We need you! We only appointed a temporary leader. Everyone is still waiting for your return."

"Go back with me! Please… I am begging you, my lord!" Mheera didn't want to accept his decision.

"If you will not go back, then I will stay here too. I will accompany you!" Mheera said stubbornly.

Liam frowned because of her stubbornness. He didn't know how he would convince her.

"Let's discuss this later. For now, there is something I wanna ask you," Liam said with a serious expression.

Mheera just nodded her head, wondering what he wanted to know.

"What are you doing in that house? How did you meet her?"

Mheera knew that Liam was referring to Hannah.

"I am her friend. I met here a month ago when I arrived in this world. I saved her life. I am in her house to protect her. She said someone will try to kill her."

Liam grabbed Mheera's wrist. She was taken aback by his reaction. He could see the unhappiness in his emerald eyes.

"Why did you let her harm another person, Mheera? Why are you helping someone to do evil things?!" 

This time Liam raised his voice as he got mad after recalling what happened to Zhen-Zhen.

Mheera didn't know what to say to justify her action. She knew that the baby would be in danger but still she gave Hannah the potion.

"How did you know about that? I… I just want to help my friend. She said her life was in danger. If she would not do anything, that person might hurt her first."

"I just knew it. Don't help her anymore! Don't associate yourself with her. She didn't hesitate to harm an innocent person… including an unborn child!" 

Liam's grip on her wrist tightened. Mheera could feel his anger. This was the first time she saw Liam getting mad.

She thought he hated it and got mad because a person was killed. Liam was compassionate and kind towards other people.

But little did she know, Liam was acting like this because the person involved was Zhen-Zhen.

"I'm sorry. Forgive me, my lord." She could only apologize to Liam.

Liam let go of her hand, sighing deeply. Even if he scolded her, nothing would change. It already happened.

All he could do now was to prevent Mheera from seeing Zhen-Zhen and from finding out her real identity as the demon god's daughter. He would still convince her to go back.

"Liam… just call me Liam here. Let's go. I will bring you to my place where I am currently staying."

"Liam?" Mheera didn't expect that their guardian lord already had a new identity in this world.

Liam turned around and Mheera followed him. They just needed to walk a few meters to reach Leo's private villa.

Mheera wanted to ask him about lots of things. But Liam was not in the mood so she just stayed silent. The most important thing was she already found him… the only man who could make her heart flutter.

The next morning, Grandpa Lu invited reporters from the different media companies in the city. He said he had an announcement to make so the Heavenly Star would host a press conference in the company.

Everyone was curious about what announcement he would make today. The company lobby was suddenly filled by the reporters.

But an hour before the press conference, Isabelle and Lucas went to visit the Miller Family in their company. Mr. and Mrs. Miller were there.

They were unhappy to see Lucas and Isabelle. They were still mad about what happened last night. 

Andrew broke off the engagement with their daughter. Who would be happy about that?

"Why are you here? After what your son had done to our precious daughter, you still have the guts to show yourselves here?" Mr. Miller was enraged by their presence.

He was being arrogant towards them, thinking that Isabelle and Lucas went there to apologize on behalf of Andrew.

Lucas sneered at Mr. Miller. "Don't worry. This will be the last time we will set foot here in your company. After this, we will never come here again."

Mr. and Mrs. Miller were rendered speechless after hearing that.

"Just in case you didn't know, we are here to inform you what your precious daughter had done last night," Isabelle could no longer stay quiet.

Hannah's parents looked at them confusedly.

"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Miller asked her.

"Your daughter poisoned our daughter-in-law, Lillie! She almost lost her baby!" Lucas yelled at them.

Mr. and Mrs. Miller were utterly astounded when she heard that.

"You were lying. Hannah would never do that! You are just making up some story to ruin our daughter's reputation. You are doing this so that Andrew will not look bad in the eyes of the public after breaking our daughter's heart!" Mrs. Miller also yelled at them.

"We don't have reason to lie. Why don't you ask her by yourself? But don't worry. We are not pressing charges against her for the sake of our long-time friendship," Isabelle said to them.

"However, starting today, we are ending our friendship. The Davis Family will no longer have any connections to the Miller Family!" Lucas declared to them.

"As representatives of the Heavenly Star Enterprise and as a member of the Davis Family, we are pulling out our investments in your company. We will not do any business partnership with the Millers starting today!"

Lucas dropped a bomb to Mr. and Mrs. Miller after saying those words.
