Chapter 1828

Heather grew wide-eyed and speechless.

Caprice was the one he should be mad at! She was mingling with a bad lot and never had any serious goals, so

what was there to like about her?

Shouldn’t Liam be upset about Caprice? Why was she the one who had to be on the receiving end of his fury?

Perhaps he did not like hearing her badmouth Caprice?

Either way, she had too much to lose. She could not lose her position in Carter Tech City.

There was a long line of people who would kill to be in her position. She was a prolific member of the Carter Tech

City and was Liam’s right-hand man. No matter what, she could not let Liam slip away from her clutches. She was

not leaving!

She blinked rapidly and contained her shock. She hung her head low, swallowed her pride, and apologized, “I’m

sorry, I didn’t mean what I said, I won’t say anything like that again from now on.”

Underneath the harsh glow of the ceiling light, a terrific glare highlighted Liam’s expression which made him look

more vicious than usual He held an iron stare

He barely acknowledged Heather after that. He proceeded to pick up the cup of coffee and took another sip from

it.

Heather had worked with him for a few years and knew what his temper was like. It was not wise to overstay her

welcome. She promptly excused herself from the office.

After the door closed with a thud, an overbearing silence loomed over the office.

After a while, Liam set down the cup again and gazed at the cityscape with a heavy gloom in his eyes.

He had grown up with Caprice, and no one other than her parents understood her better than he did.

He knew about Caprice’s roommates at Sparkrow University. During her freshman year, he had private

investigators look into the background of every single one of them.

He even knew about how Caprice had been helping her two roommates by sourcing part-time gigs for them over

the last two years.

As for Heather, the only reason he kept her around was that she was an effective worker.

Ding!

Suddenly, his phone rang.

He picked up his phone and saw messages from Sylvia.

“Liam, I haven’t seen you for almost a month. Do you have time during the next few days? Why don’t you come

home and visit us?”

A trace of warmth appeared on his stoic expression shaped like a stone sculpture. He replied, “I’ll come

tomorrow at noon.”

Another thought occurred to him, and he followed up with another text. “It’s going to be the summer break soon. Is

Flint going home as well?”

Flint was now studying for his doctorate at Aleph University He only had one more year to go until his graduation.

Sylvia replied, “Doctorate students don’t have semester breaks during the summer. He did visit us last weekend

though.”

Liam stared at his screen blankly, his fingers hovering over the display. It seemed like he had something he wanted

to say but did not know how to broach the subject.

That was, until Sylvia sent another message, “By the way, Caprice’s summer break is coming up as well. Since it’s

Saturday tomorrow, let’s invite her over.”

Liam pursed his lips and replied, “Alright, I have some work to do. Why don’t you tell her for me?”

Sylvia replied after a while, “Okay.”

Liam was relieved and put away his phone.

Meanwhile, at the Carters, Sylvia was well into her middle age by this point, but she took great care of her

appearance and barely looked a day past thirty years old. She lay on the couch and sighed outwardly when she

read Liam’s text. “This boy…”

Odell who was seated next to her turned to her and asked in a concerned voice, “What’s wrong? Is Liam

not coming home to see us?”

Sylvia showed him their conversation on the phone and remarked, “Look at our son. I can’t even tell what he’s

thinking! He wants me to text Caprice for him instead of doing it himself!”

Odell glanced at the conversation. “There’s no way he doesn’t know that his brother doesn’t have a semester break

during the summer.”

Sylvia became curious. “Then, why did he ask me about that?”

Odell chuckled. “The brat asked on purpose. He was hoping that you would propose to invite Caprice

over.”

This only confused Sylvia further. “Why won’t he invite her himself? Why bother hinting it to me?” Odell put his

arms around her and remarked casually, “It’s alright. Let him have it his way.”
