True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1617

Liam looked at the confident middle-aged woman and felt somewhat annoyed. She had probably thought of herself as a mature woman who could get her hands on any young men she wanted.

He smiled faintly. "Madam Cruise, I don't have such strong ambitions, nor do I care about offending my manager and company. You don't have to waste your time on me."

There was an implicit meaning to his words. He was letting Betty know that he had no intentions of being taken advantage of.

He believed that she understood the meaning behind his words.

However, Betty was reluctant to give up.

Instead, she looked at Liam with an even more meaningful smile. "Liam, you're still young and energetic. When you reach my age, you'll understand that in life, there is nothing more important than making money."

Liam paused, and he lowered his eyes. His gaze was icy, and a cold aura seemed to emanate from his body.

He said, "No, I don't think so." "Oh?" Betty raised her eyebrows slightly. "Then how do you see it? Why don't you let me know?"

"I think that one should be clear about what it is they want to do. Even during adversities, one should maintain a clear head. Otherwise, they won't be happy. The more money one has, the stronger their sense of superiority. They'll end up thinking that they can do anything they want. That might make things worse for them because they might not be able to accept rejection due to their sense of superiority," Liam replied.

Upon hearing that, Betty's eyes flashed. She glanced at Liam fiercely. "Are you talking about me?"

Liam's expression remained calm. "Madam Cruise, there's no need to get in a huff. I just think that everyone has their own ambition. I appreciate your kindness, but I'm afraid I can't accept it."

"Liam Robinson, you're really bold," Betty said in a voice dripping with sarcasm. "What is there to be proud of when you're just an actor? You don't even have a prominent social status, and even if you did, what does it matter How dare you mock me?"

The indifferent look on his face did not waver. He looked down at Betty and felt that she looked even older and uglier.

He smiled, but he did not respond.

However, his attitude made Betty sneer. "How dare you look at me with contempt?"

"I'm not," Liam said flatly. "I just don't like to be pushed around. Madam Cruise, I'm sorry, but I can't agree to your request."

"How dare you challenge me?" Betty retorted in an even angrier and sharper tone.

Without trying to hide his thoughts, Liam answered in a low voice, "I'm not trying to challenge you. I just really don't want to entertain you."

"You!" Betty sneered. "I'm telling you, it was a blessing to have caught my eye."

Liam snorted.

"What are you snorting at?" Betty demanded, enraged.

"After all that, it seems that you have finally exposed your true thoughts. All you want is to be intimate with me, right?"

"Yes, that's what I want. I have my eyes on you. If you come with me, I can make you popular again. But if you're unwilling to hook up with me, then I'm sorry. I'll trample you to the bottom," Betty threatened. There was a cold glint in her eyes. "I'll make it impossible for you to make a comeback ever again."

Liam smiled, and his expression was still as calm as ever. His indifference infuriated Betty even further.

"Don't mock me!" Betty shouted angrily.

"Madam Cruise, please do your best to stop me from making a comeback. I can tell you that even if you do that, I won't be bribed by you. I'm not someone who will betray their soul for their own selfish desires."

With that, he turned around to leave.

The moment he turned around, he saw Maria's father standing less than ten meters away. He did not know how long he had been standing there.

Liam had not noticed Zachary standing there before. Did he overhear our conversation? Liam wondered.

He felt a little embarrassed at meeting Zachary so unexpectedly and at such a close distance.

Moreover, Zachary was an extremely handsome man. He looked dignified and elegant with his finely chiseled features, and he exuded an air of maturity. All in all, he cut a particularly imposing.

After a moment's pause, he nodded slightly at Zachary.

Zachary looked at him, then shifted his gaze to Betty expressionlessly.

When she saw Zachary, she was taken aback and immediately changed her attitude. "Oh my, isn't this Mr. Lowe?"

Zachary looked at Madam Cruise calmly.

Betty went over and asked, "Mr. Lowe, are you dining here too?"

Zachary replied, "I have heard that you lead a flippant and unrestrained lifestyle. However, I never expected you to have your eye on my family."

Betty and Liam were both stunned.
