�Hah. Fine. In three days, here with the same people. Let�s see how you�ll make it up, hmm?�

Geronimo looked at Renee as if she were a joke, then put away his whip and said to Liam, �If she can really come up with that much money in three days, I�ll transfer the shares of Osborne Group back to you and never interfere with your affairs again!�

�Goodbye!�

Renee saw that Liam was safe for now, so she turned and left without saying another word.

Liam had been beaten to an inch of his life, yet he still held strong and gritted his teeth as he tried to chase after Renee.

Renee was already walking out of the Osborne Mansion when she heard Liam shouting her name from behind. She stopped but did not turn around.

�Why are you following me?� she asked him coldly. �Just go back and get a good rest. That whipping must�ve done a great deal of damage to your body. Becareful or it might make you impotent.�

�Boss�� Liam�s lips were pale. His whole body seemed fragile and his handsome face was twisted by a look of excruciating pain. �I�m so sorry, Boss! Please don�t be angry with me!�

All these years, his family never liked it when he was too close to Renee, but as long as he made sure to keep it all under a low profile, they always kept theirdistance and never interfered too much with his life. But he made a mistake this time. Had he not taken such a monstrous risk and angered his father, Reneewould not have been humiliated by his own family.

�You idiot� How could I possibly be mad at you?!�

�Then why are you turning your back on me? You don�t want to see me ever again, do you?�

�You really are an idiot�� Renee shrugged resignedly. The reason why shecould not turn around and look at him was not that she was angry with him in any way, but only because she was too ashamed to face Liam right now.

�I�m the one who should apologize to you, Liam. You�ve given me so much help and support all these years. You never hesitated to jump into the abyss with me. I took it for granted that everything was fine��

�I�m not afraid of the abyss!� Liam interrupted agitatedly. He stepped forward and added, �You are the light of my life. I would gladly follow you anywhere, and I would gladly do anything for you because I��

�That�s enough!� Renee raised her hand and abruptly cut off Liam�s confession.

She gently added, �I owe you too much, Liam, and it�s time for me to repay you. I�ve found a way to get that money, so all you need to do right now is wait patiently for the good news, which I will bring you soon.�

�But how?� Liam furrowed his brows deeply.

That money was no laughing matter. His father even said that it might be as high as 500 million, or even 800 million dollars! He simply could not think of any way that Renee could suddenly cough up that ridiculous amount of money,unless�

�You�re not thinking about going back to the old way of life and joining that groupof sly pigs again, aren�t you? That�s just too reckless, Boss!�

In the past, he would have loved nothing more than to get Renee to return to her old ways. After all, she was just too cool and too powerful then! The world was her oyster and she could dictate the weather if she wanted to! JrNovels.com
