The woman hit the table, making her husband, who was focused on work, jerked in surprise and moved from his position.
” Damn it , what are you doing here Zea ? ” Liam snapped not accepting that the woman was interfering with his work activities .
Liam clenched the muscles in his fists bulging with anger .
” Your daughter is really very stupid Liam ” Zea said raising her voice an octave .
Plaque….
Liam couldn’t control his emotions, he couldn’t accept that his daughter was insulted like that.
“I will never forgive you if you insult my son again!” Liam threatens to give a warning.
Zea held her cheek which felt a little sore from her husband’s slap, she was used to getting that rough treatment from the man she had lived with for 23 years.
Liam first took off the glasses that were perched on his sharp nose, he kept his glasses on the table.
Liam sharpened his gaze towards Zea who was already sitting on the sofa in his study.
” Our company ‘s stock continues to decline because of your daughter ‘s actions , ” Zea grumbled , the woman continued to blame her stepdaughter for bringing up her company ‘s name during a press conference a week ago .
Actually Zea wasn’t the woman who gave birth to Liza. Liza was born to a mulatto American woman, but the truth about her biological mother was completely unknown to Liza. So far, Liza has assumed that Zea is her biological mother, even though she was always treated very roughly by Zea.
Liza’s biological mother is a woman who is loved by Liam, they met in New York when Liam had a meeting with a client.
Natasha George is just an ordinary girl, her level is very different from Liam or Zea. Natasha is just a tourist guide whose income is paltry when compared to Liam’s salary which is many times greater than his income.
Zea used to guide Liam’s journey when he was in New York, because at that time Liam was still not fluent in English so he asked his secretary to find someone who could be his guide while there.
Liam’s position at that time was the same as Joan’s now, namely a CEO who was always restrained and demanded to always do his best by his parents.
At that time Liam fell in love with Natasha at first sight, her bright white skin, sharp nose, and thin lips were able to melt Liam’s heart which was as cold as polar ice. But it was Natasha’s attitude that made Liam so crazy about her.
Liam and Natasha had a date one night, it was the incident that night that made Natasha’s life fall apart because she was declared pregnant by a doctor a month later. Actually pregnancy is a gift for him, but what power Liam is no longer beside him, the man has returned to his country a week ago without saying a word to Natasha.
Natasha remained unanimous in her stance to maintain her pregnancy, she worked hard to support herself, she had no family, both of her parents died when she was still in high school, while her older sister left her not knowing where to go, her older sister seemed to have disappeared into the earth.
Until finally, Natasha’s womb turned 9 months old, at that time Natasha was going to give birth to her baby at the biggest hospital in the city of New York, but unexpectedly she met the father of her future baby there.
Natasha is grateful that Liam came at the right time, Liam was very happy when he found out that his flesh and blood had been safely born on this earth.
Liam saw his baby sleeping in the crib, the baby is a girl whose face is very similar to Natasha, especially on the nose and lips while her eyes are more similar to hers.
Zea was in the same hospital at that time because she had an accident that forced her to undergo surgery to remove her uterus which resulted in her being infertile for life.
Liam and Zea go to Newyork for their honeymoon, Liam marries that vicious woman in order to grow his business, Liam gives no love to Zea because Liam’s heart is already filled by Natasha, Liza’s birth mother. At their wedding, it was Zea. who is very obsessed with getting love from Liam.
Zea watched as her husband held the baby girl, he also ordered his secretary to investigate who the woman who had just given birth was in there.
Zea was very angry when she found out that the baby was her husband’s flesh and blood, the fact that she could not give a child for Liam made her really angry and took the wrong path by killing Natasha and taking Liza to be her child.
Zea keeps Liza by her side so that Liam can’t divorce her, Zea also threatens that he will hurt Liza if Liam does things to her.
For the last 23 years Liam has been Zea’s puppet, he has always done whatever Zea ordered. But there was a bit of relief inside Liam when his son was married to Joan who had everything, Liam thought that Liza would be safe when she was near Joan, she rebelled easily. to Zea and repay all the bad things that Zea has done to Liza and herself so far.
I don’t know how bad Liam is in Liza’s eyes, all this time Liam has never cared and has always been hard on his daughter because he was told by Zea, there’s nothing Liam can do except obey the devil-hearted woman, Liza’s life is at stake if Liam doesn’t obey Zea’s words.
” What else are you going to do to my daughter , crazy woman ? ” Liam ‘s scream echoed throughout the room . He wiped away the tears that rolled down his cheeks after imagining what Zea had done to Liza .
The woman wearing a knee-length blue dress smiled with a smirk, she started tucking a strand of her hair that was blocking her view into his ear.
” I will teach a little lesson to your beloved daughter ” Zea replied while folding his arms across his chest .
Liam was not surprised to hear the story from that vile woman “Just try it, now my daughter is beside people who can protect her from a HURT woman LIKE YOU” Liam challenged by emphasizing his words at the end of the sentence.
Zea smiled mockingly, the corners of his lips turned up on one side “Do you think your useless daughter-in-law can still protect your daughter, even her family doesn’t like your daughter and will soon depose her, soon you will hear the news of your two daughter-in-law’s marriage being spread” Zea explained that Liam immediately shook his head in disbelief.
“You’re crazy” Liam pointed at Zea’s head right on the part of his brain, he was sure that Zea’s brain was shorted to the point of rambling like that.
“I’m not crazy Liam, I’m just letting you know that soon Joan, your beloved daughter-in-law, will soon marry Yuna, the youngest child of the Lancaster family.” Zea gently caressed Liam’s face who was frozen in place.
Liam already understands the direction of Zea’s conversation, Lancaster Company has the same degree as his company which is currently experiencing high losses due to the press conference Liza held yesterday.
Liam started to struggle with his thoughts , the middle aged man started to think about everything Zea had just said , there was a 99 % chance that Joan would marry Yuna due to a business agreement .
“Are you serious about what you said, Zea?” Liam asked, starting to lower the volume of his voice.
Zea just nodded lazily , the woman with the stature immediately showed the proposal for the merger of the Rivenno and Lancaster Companies from the screen of her tablet .
In the proposal it is written that this agreement will occur if Party 1, namely the Rivenno Group, agrees to have a sacred relationship with party 2, namely the Lancaster Group.
” Damn them ” Liam curses after seeing the contents of the proposal .
Zea was happy about this, with Joan not being in Liza’s life it would be easier for her to control Liam to remain her life doll.
” Did Joan agree to this marriage ? ” Liam lowered his voice and started to try to have a nice talk with Zea .
Liam sat on the sofa opposite where Zea was sitting at the moment.
Zea shrugged his shoulders “I don’t know, your son-in-law and daughter have been missing for a week without a trace, Auris and Ansel are currently on a search to find them”
Liam rolled his eyes, he didn’t even know that his daughter had disappeared this week, he was too busy with his candidacy business so he had no time to find news about his own daughter.
” Did they go together ? ” Liam asked again , at least Liza would still be safe if she disappeared with Joan .
Again Zea shrugged her shoulders a second time “I don’t know either, recently their relationship is not good, Joan left the house and left Liza and chose to live in her penthouse with Dafa” Zea smiled contentedly, Liza’s suffering is happiness for her himself .
Liam ruffles his hair Frustrated, why could he be this ignorant? He didn’t even know that his daughter was having this big a problem. Liam felt that he wasn’t worthy of being a father to a daughter as good and patient as Liza.
