"May I ask Mr. Ackman a question? Does Lincoln Group, which your ex-wife Anna works for, have any business with Ackman Skyhigh Group? Will you stop cooperating with Lincoln Group because of your divorce?"
Liam put down his folded legs and his voice was dark and cold, "This is a very interesting question."
The man was frightened by Liam's sharp and cold eyes and he could not help but shiver.
He almost dropped the microphone.
Liam gently tucked the cuffs of his suit. His clear-cut face looked rather noble. Then he responded, "You can know the answer, but you have to ask Anna."
Liam's dark eyes were as deep as the boundless sea. His eyes crossed the crowd and finally landed on a seat in the venue.
Anna was called. Her face was red, but she was very calm.
This wily old fox threw this question to her.
Hum. It didn't work on her.
Anna took the microphone handed to her by the host and she smiled charmingly.
Anna got up slowly and stood in the center of the audience. She said with a smile, "As for this question, I would like to see how Mr. Ackman is going to answer i t."
The crowd started to whisper. No one expected that Anna would throw the question back to Liam.
Anna pointed the microphone toward Liam's thin lips and her smile widened.
She looked so brisk and elegant.
She waited quietly for Liam's answer.
Anna had already thought of a response when she asked this question.
If Liam answered "yes", then she would say that they were just cooperating with each other.
It would be better if Liam denied it.
Then they wouldn’t be involved in any relationship, and there would be no gossip.
Liam sat high on the VIP seat and looked at the shrewd expression on Anna's face.
Liam sneered and then he curled the corners of his thin lips.
Liam drawled, "Of course there is cooperation. In fact, the relationship between Ms. Hamilton and me is not a sbad as you think."
In the next second, his cold voice changed and said purposefully, "These days, Ms. Hamilton has been helping me out by designing a unique necklace for the woman I love."
The crowd was shocked.
"Oh my god! Ms. Hamilton is a magnanimous woman. I t was she who was abandoned and divorced by Mr. Ackman!"
"And then she left for three years! Now she's back and she can help Mr. Ackman design a necklace for his woman. Is she really willing to do it? Is she so generous?"
"Does she accept that grudges? She is a great woman!"
Hearing the discussions, the smile on Anna's face grew brighter.
But actually she was embarrassed.
How did people say that she was a great woman?
She was not willing to accept that grudges.
She still refused Liam access to Gemma.
And if Liam hadn't offered her a lot of money to design a necklace, she wouldn't have helped him!
She was not stupid. She designed the necklace for Liam's wife because of the high price offered by Liam.
The crowd looked at Anna who was smiling happily. They thought they were right and then they praised Anna.
