Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor)
Chapter 16 This is My Woman

Chapter 16 This is My Woman

Both of them were momentarily stunned.

Liam signaled to Stella with his eyes, asking her to stay in the room while he went to open the door.

Aiden stood outside anxiously.

"Liam, I heard that you beat a few people..." Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the bloodstains on Liam's body and couldn't help but gasp. "My god, it's true!"

"They were just a few thugs." Liam said indifferently, "Besides, I didn't beat them too severely. They won't die."

"Not severe?" Aiden pulled him aside and whispered, "You ruptured their internal organs! We need to send them to the hospital in Eldoria now!"

Liam's brow twitched, but he was still expressionless.

They asked for it because they harassed Stella! It wouldn't be excessive even if they were beaten to death.

"Oh, and did you break the leg of one of them?" Aiden was becoming frantic. "Do you know who his father is..."

"What does it have to do with me?"

"Hey, they will definitely seek revenge on you!"

Liam took off his shirt, threw the bloodstained clothes aside, and took out clean clothes to change into.

He knew that those few people had a powerful background. They were the son of a village chief and the nephew of a town mayor. They relied on their family's influence to act recklessly in the villages. He had wanted to deal with this group of people a long time ago.

"Listen, why don't you leave with your wife and replace a place to hide?" Aiden suggested, "Those people are not easy to deal with. A wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him. Don't confront them head-on!"

Liam found him annoying.

Just as he was about to refuse, he caught a glimpse of Stella standing at the bedroom door.

"I don't think... we need to hide," she whispered.

Liam was stunned and then asked her with great interest, "Why?"

"It's not our fault." Her eyes were firm. "Those few people openly harassed me. They were the ones who made the mistake first. We were just defending ourselves!"

Liam looked at her admiringly. He didn't expect her to appear gentle and weak on the surface, but deep down, she was independent, strong, and brave.

He smiled.

"I know it's not your fault!" Aiden said helplessly, "But their families have power and influence..."

"I don't care about their so-called power and influence." Stella smiled lightly. "Besides, even if they have power and influence, they can't act unreasonably, right?" "Well..."

"Yeah, my wife is right." Liam stood beside her. "This is what my woman should be like."

Stella blushed slightly and lowered her head.

Aiden sighed. "You two..."

"Alright, thank you for your concern." Liam patted his shoulder. "Do you want to stay and have a meal with us?"

Aiden quickly waved his hand and said goodbye to them.

Although Liam wasn't afraid of those people causing trouble again, he considered moving out of this village.

Today, when he fought with those thugs, they must have realized that he wasn't the same Liam as before. He might get into trouble here, and his identity might be exposed one day.

So it was best to leave as soon as possible.

A few days later, Stella moved to Eldoria with Liam.

When Liam discussed moving with her, she had some doubts. But his reason was that there were more development opportunities in Eldoria, and it would be easier to get a job, so she didn't say much.

Moreover, in the city, she would be closer to the hospital, making it more convenient for her to take care of her mother.

They rented a small house. Although it was not big, Stella cleaned it throughout and bought new curtains and bedding.

The dining table was covered with a green checkered tablecloth, and the glass vase on the windowsill held a few sprigs of lilac.

Liam looked around and remembered his past life.

The villa of the Martinez family, covering tens of thousands of square meters, was built along the mountainside. It was as grand as a castle, and every corner was luxurious.

His every meal used to be prepared by top chefs from different countries.

But none of it compared to this place, to this neat and cozy little sanctuary, to the simple meals cooked by Stella.

"What's wrong?" Stella looked at him with her bright eyes. "Do you not like the food?"

Liam smiled slightly. "It's good."

"Then eat more." She negotiated with him. "By the way, Mia helped me get a job, doing sales at the same company she currently works at. I can start working tomorrow."

"So soon?" His gaze froze. "Is the company floated on the stock market? What is its annual sales revenue? Who is the boss?"

A series of questions left Stella stunned.

She hadn't inquired about all that yet. Besides, she was just a low-level salesperson, earning commissions to make a living. What did the boss have to do with her? "Well... I'll ask them after I start working."

However, on her first day of work, she never expected her supervisor to be Daniel Clark!

That morning was extremely difficult to endure. During the meeting, she always felt Daniel's gaze intentionally shifting toward her. As soon as the meeting was over, she wanted to escape the conference room but was stopped by Daniel.

"Stella!"

Stella's body stiffened, and she forced a smile as she turned around.

"Long time no see." Daniel put away his computer and walked toward her. "I haven't heard from you since graduation. I didn't expect us to meet at the same company. Isn't it fate?"

Stella felt a bit awkward.

Daniel was her senior in college, who had passionately pursued her at that time. However, she firmly rejected him.

One reason was that her mother was still ill, and she had to take care of her family, so she was overwhelmed.

The other reason was that Daniel just wasn't her type.

It wasn't that he was unattractive, but he was too scheming. In the student union, he was the best at catering to those in power and belittling those beneath him. This made her have no good impression of him. "Mr. Clark." She said softly, "If there's nothing else, I'll go deal with my work."

"Hey, don't be in such a hurry!" Daniel grabbed her arm.

Stella dodged to the side, keeping a distance from him.

"Stella, why are you so distant from me?" Daniel smiled. "Don't call me Mr. Clark. It's better to call me by my name like before!"

"Since I work in the company now, it can't be the same as school." Stella maintained her composure. "It's better to call you Mr. Clark. That's more appropriate."

Daniel squinted his eyes. He liked this about her, understanding the rules, knowing when to advance and retreat, and having a good sense of propriety in everything she did.

Moreover, after graduation, she seemed to have become prettier...

Daniel felt that he was turned on.

"Stella." He intentionally got closer to her. "If you don't understand anything about the business, feel free to ask me. The door to my office is always open for you..."

Stella huddled against the conference table, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, she heard a sharp voice from outside.

"Daniel, so you're here!"

A woman dressed beautifully and alluringly stood by the doorframe, crossing her arms in front of her chest. "Isn't that Stella? Humph, so you're talking with Daniel here. Why didn't you invite me?"
