True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1619

Grace brought Liam to a luxurious private room. He knew that the Jones family had just held a funeral, but he did not expect them to have their meal outside.

Only Grace, Heinz, and Yvonne were in the private room. It seemed that only the two couples had come out for a meal.

And they were going to eat together.

Liam felt guilty when he saw Maria's mother. He did not expect to meet her parents that day. The fact that Maria was at his place at that very moment made him even guiltier when he saw Maria's parents.

"This is Maria's mother. You can call her Madam Attwood," Grace said as she made the introductions.

Liam nodded respectfully. "Good evening, Madam Attwood."

"Hello," Yvonne replied. She looked a little shocked at seeing Liam. "What a coincidence to meet you here." "Yes, what a coincidence," Liam replied quickly.

Then, he turned to greet Heinz. "Nice to meet you, Uncle Jones."

Heinz nodded. "Gary and Ernest are back. You guys should meet up when you're free."

"Okay, Uncle Jones," Liam answered with a nod.

"I haven't heard any news from you recently. What are you currently working on?" Heinz looked at him and asked, "If I remember correctly, you've been back for over a year, haven't you?"

"That's right, Uncle Jones." Liam nodded again.

"You've been back for so long, but they haven't arranged any work for you yet?" Heinz felt greatly surprised.

Liam smiled wryly but did not say anything.

"Zachary saw Liam getting bullied just now, so he went to look for Liam's manager," said Grace.

"Bullied?" Yvonne looked concerned. "What happened?"

"It wasn't anything serious, Madam Attwood." Liam was embarrassed that he had experienced such an encounter that day. After all, it would not leave a good impression if someone saw him in that situation, and especially not when that someone was his girlfriend's parents and relatives.

He wanted to leave a good impression on Maria's parents. However, it seemed that the situation was going in the opposite direction.

And that made him feel even worse.

Grace understood his dilemma and knew that he was too embarrassed to say anything, so she immediately said, "An old woman was scolding Liam. I don't know the details, but Zachary should have heard it. Anyway, that woman didn't seem too kind."

Yvonne was confused. Why was an old woman scolding Liam? Yvonne wondered.

She exchanged glances with Grace. Sensing something amiss, she quickly said, "Hurry up and have something to eat. Let's stop thinking about it. It's not worth getting upset at someone like that."

"Madam Attwood, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me." Liam smiled as he did not want Yvonne to worry about him.

And especially not when Yvonne was pregnant with her third child. Her stomach was just starting to show.

"Liam, to tell you the truth, all of us know that you haven't been doing too well for the past year," Grace said. "As a matter of fact, we were just talking about it. Why don't you terminate the contract and start anew?" "There are still more than two years on my contract, so I'm afraid that they won't let me go. Even if I terminate the contract in advance, they'll definitely want me to pay a high amount of compensation," Liam explained. "It would be better to wait until my contract expires."

"But you'll waste more than two whole years of your life. These are the prime years of your life. If you delay, it'll be a great waste of time."

Liam nodded. "I know. However, I don't think they'll let me go."

"But they aren't helping you anymore," Yvonne protested. "You can see that for yourself too. They're suppressing you. How many more prime years will you have? It'll be best for you to terminate the contract."

"Who is trying to suppress you? Is it Cindy?" Heinz finally spoke.

Both Grace and Yvonne looked at him at the same time.

Liam shook his head. "Cindy alone wouldn't be so capable. There must be someone else who is even more powerful."
