Chapter 122 - Negotiating the Wedding Circus
Liam's POV
The morning light had barely crept through my office windows when my phone shattered the silence. I picked up to hear Stella's weary voice on the other end.
"The devil himself wants a word with you."
I knew exactly who she meant. There was no escaping this conversation. Stella connected the call, and Clairemont's grating voice immediately assaulted my ears, launching into what he clearly thought was an intimidating lecture.
"How dare you humiliate my daughter in public like that? She returned home devastated, sick with worry and heartbreak because of your cruel treatment. Liam, you're about to become a married man. You need to give my daughter the respect she deserves."
"What respect, Clairemont? The respect due to a manipulative woman who seduced a drunk man to get pregnant and trap him? Because that's exactly what she earned." My blood was already reaching boiling point.
