Chapter 48 Do You Have Any Judgment?
Liam knew she was deliberately ignoring them, so he didn't dwell on it and continued, "These days, Vivian and I have seriously considered this. We shouldn't bring our relationship issues between the three of us into our work.
"Despite past grievances between us and any wrongs you may have committed against Liavian Perfumes, you've been a significant help to us. We won't hold it against you anymore. We're withdrawing the lawsuit and won't hold you accountable. You're free to pursue your own path from here on out. We will no longer be involved. Is that okay?"
"Mr. Smith, what do you think?" Evelyn ignored him and turned to Andy beside her.
Andy had been silent the whole time, occasionally jotting notes with a pen and paper as an observer. Now, when he heard Evelyn ask him, he stopped writing and looked at her. "Ms. Taylor, of course not."
"This is our business, not up to you to decide!" Liam immediately became angry, then turned towards Evelyn and said, "Where did you find this incompetent lawyer? He must be a phony who knows nothing! Does he even know what is beneficial for you? Do you even know that you don't stand a chance in court? My proposal right now is definitely the best outcome for you!"
"Is that so? Then I should thank you, shouldn't I?" Evelyn sneered. She raised a hand towards Andy's direction. "This is Andy, the legal consultant for Neogenito Fragrances. He is at the most professional level. You think he's a phony? What are you then? You only know how to steal other people's hard work and yet pride yourself in thinking you're so great!"
"You..." Liam's patience wore thin despite his repeated attempts to remain calm. "Evelyn, you have gone too far!"
"What? Who is going too far here? You're so magnanimous, saying that I have wronged Liavian Perfumes and that you won't hold it against me.
"But let me ask you, what are you trying to hold against me? Have I done anything to wrong Liavian Perfumes? How much time have I spent in the laboratory these years? How many places have I gone to and experiments have I conducted all for the sake of getting the best raw materials?
"Liavian Perfumes has benefited from my hard work, but how much profit have you gained from me? How much have you gained from me? I really want to ask, please tell me, where have I wronged Liavian Perfumes?"
Her harsh accusations left Liam unable to respond. He could only stutter, "You, I..."
Evelyn snorted and continued, "Also, I really detest the name of your company. I have been busy for so long, and it turns out that I've been scheming for the benefit of you two scoundrels. It makes me sick!"
"Evelyn, watch your language!" Vivian angrily rebuked.
Evelyn simply laughed. "Even if I speak in a vulgar manner, it's not as filthy as what you did!"
After saying that, she picked up her bag and planned to stand up, "Mr. Smith, let's go! This place is too disgusting, I don't want to stay here anymore."
"Wait a minute!"
Seeing her about to leave, Liam couldn't care about that much anymore. After all, he hadn't achieved his purpose of coming here yet. He suddenly stood up and grabbed Evelyn's wrist. "I didn't invite you here to argue with you. Can we reconcile?"
"No!" Evelyn stared at him coldly, her eyes fierce. Her gaze slowly slid down from his face and landed on his hand that was holding her.
Liam hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and asked again, "Regardless, can you tell me if the formula is really problematic?"
He was very nervous and worried. If all the formulas were problematic, it wouldn't just affect this batch of goods but also the future of Liavian Perfumes!
Therefore, even if he had to humble himself a little, he had to ask her clearly.
Evelyn raised her gaze to look at him. This face that she used to like now looked so disheveled, full of anxiety. His eyes were full of nervousness and eagerness, and he didn't look good at all. He was really… ugly!
Why did she like him in the first place?
"Is there something wrong with the formula of Liavian Perfumes..." She paused for a moment and said slowly, "Don't you have any judgment about it?"
Liam was at a loss for words.
"Let go!" Evelyn said coldly.
"Explain yourself, what do you mean!" Liam insisted on not letting go. He didn't want her to leave so easily. There were still many doubts he hadn't figured out.
"Mr. Scott, your behavior has constituted harassment. You'd better..." Andy hadn't finished speaking when Liam suddenly roared, "Shut up!"
He looked at Evelyn fiercely. "You make it clear, did you tamper with the formula? You...
"Is the formula fake?" Liam panicked at the thought of this possibility.
Evelyn remained silent, her gaze fixed on his hand clasping hers. With a frigid tone, she uttered, "I'll say it once more: let go. Unless... you want a repeat of last time."
Last time...
Liam's mind flashed back to the alley, recalling the speed and strength with which she fought—a vivid reminder of their last encounter. Almost instinctively, he released her hand.
Evelyn took back her hand, turned her wrist, and disgustedly took out a wet tissue to wipe the place he had touched, "Liam, if you touch me like that again in the future, be careful, I'll break your arm!"
After saying that, she threw the used tissue into the trash can and turned to leave.
Liam remained silent.
Vivian watched in shock as Evelyn walked away, only realizing afterwards what had just happened. Immediately feeling dissatisfied, she raised her head and asked, "Why did you let her go? She hasn't explained herself yet. How could you just let her walk away like that?
"She asked you to let go, and you let go? Since when do you listen to her? Have you forgotten the current situation of the company? She must have tampered with the formula. Why didn't you demand the real formula?
"What are you doing? I'm talking to you, can you hear me? Liam, do you still have feelings for her? Do you still have feelings for her in your heart?
"Also, she mentioned 'last time,' what is she referring to? Why don't I know about it? What secret do you and she have that I am not allowed to know?"
Vivian was filled with speculation, and no matter how she asked, Liam did not respond, which made her even more annoyed.
"Say something, speak up!" Vivian forcefully pulled on his sleeve, feeling that something was definitely wrong.
"Enough! Shut up!" Liam's mind was in chaos at the moment, and Vivian's constant pestering only made him more frustrated. He waved his hand abruptly and pushed her away. "Enough from you! If it wasn't for you being useless, would I be in such a miserable state?!"
Vivian was completely stunned.
