Chapter 20
I rolled my eyes in exasperation and turned to leave. Liam quickly followed behind me. "When did you get to Napel? What brings you to house-hunting? Are you planning to buy a place here? Bah, blah, blah. Big noisy frog.
I didn't bother turning around, but then Liam suddenly asked, "Does your family know you're here in Napel buying a house?"
I stopped in my tracks and spun around to face him. When I met his gaze, Isaw Liam grinning like a cunning fox. "I finally got your attention, huh?"
I clenched my fists and frowned at him. "What do you mean?"
"Nothing much," Liam replied while stepping closer with a smile. "I just want to show you some hospitality. I'm a native of Napel, and considering our history, don't you think I should show you around?" "That's not necessary"
"How about getting you a discount on that house? Otherwise "Lium stroked his chin thoughtfully. "I might just have to tell your family
"Shut up," I cut him off before he could finish.
Looking at Liam's smug face, Thad the urge to punch him.
Over the next few days, Liam insisted on showing me around Napel. We queued up at trendy spots for fruit tea, took photos at popular tourist attractions, and tried out highly recommended but antul food.
It was all so incredibly dull. Dull enough that I began to wonder if he was really a

On the third day, while we were heading to a restaurant, Liam received a phone call. His expression changed within seconds, and he quickly walked away. He got into his car and disappeared without so much as a second glance at me. I had never seen Liam so serious before. I flagged down a cab and followed him.
Soon, his car stopped outside a rehabilitation center. I got out of the car and followed him quietly, watching as he entered a VIP room.
The place was under strict management, and even though I said I was there to visit a patient, the receptionist wouldn't let me in... rabouse
Ipared around the lobby a few times, unwilling to leave without learning more. Liam knew about my strained relationship with my parents and that I was planning to buy a in Napel. If he told Jack about this, it would mess up my plans. If I could get some dirt on him, he wouldn't be able to threaten me with my house-hunting in Napel
After observing my surroundings, I decided to go outside. The buildings in this rehabilitation center weren't tall, and the room Liam entered was on the ground floor
Istrolled casually outside, making sure no one noticed me before I crept up to the window of that room.
Just as I reached the window, I heard the sound of something smashing. Then a woman's angry voice sounded from inside.
"Why won't he come to see me? When will he come to see me? He clearly said he only loved me and promised to divorce that woman and be with me!"
Then, there was the sound of someone being slapped. Startled, I heard Liam's voice next, "Mom, after all these years, you still don't get it, do you? He never loved you, and he'll never fulfill those crappy promises he made." Mom1 covered my mouth in shock.
I distinctly remembered that Liam had been an orphan in my previous life. Where did this mother come from?
From the sounds of it, his mother wasn't in the right state. Her words suggested she'd been deceived and abandoned by some scumbag frowned and decided to leave before List came out
