---- Chapter 144 The apartment felt livelier than before. Wendy was an extremely meticulous person, and fresh bouquets were placed thoughtfully throughout the area. It was clear that she had grown to appreciate life even more since leaving the Frank residence. A faint smile tugged at the corners of Liam's mouth. At least living here seemed far more comfortable and happy for Wendy than he had imagined. Another of Liam's butlers, Cedric Zarr, arrived quicker than expected with the items.

Apart from a pair of slippers, he had also brought some toiletries. Liam stood by the door, bringing the packages inside. Lowering his voice, Cedric said, "Mr. Harrison, there's aman downstairs who keeps looking up at this floor. It seems like he's been drinking." Liam paused. "What does he look like?" "Handsome, tall, and drives a nice car. From what I saw, he was staring right at the floor where you and Ms. Sanders live." Before Cedric finished, Wendy appeared at the door. "It's late.

Thank you for bringing these over. I appreciate i ---- Her polite words made Cedric perceive her as the lady of the house now. Asmile spread across his face. "Ms. Sanders, it's our duty. It's just-" Before he could finish, Liam interrupted, "You said there were still some things left to get? I'll come down with you so you don't have to make another trip." Cedric was momentarily taken aback but quickly nodded firmly.

"Right!" Wendy watched the two of them enter the elevator and found ita bit odd. Still, she didn't suspect anything and went back to the kitchen. to prepare some spaghetti, waiting for Liam to return. Cedric drove off first, while Liam headed down to the parking area. It was just a temporary spot, but James had been waiting there with his car for over 30 minutes. He had been tailing Wendy and Liam's car since the hospital.

He witnessed a patient's family member giving them trouble and Liam's protectiveness over Wendy, as well as the way Liam held her hand. The simmering anger inside James flared up again at that moment. But he didn't even dare to get out and confront them. ---- He feared seeing Wendy's cold attitude toward him, and worse, her standing behind Liam, as if she were truly about to leave him behind.

He had thought Liam was just driving her back to the hospital dorms, but was surprised to see them pull into a high-end apartment complex. Luckily, James had invested in a few properties here, or he wouldn't have known they were living together. There was no way Wendy could afford this place on her own. The only explanation was that it was Liam's apartment.

According to Freddy's investigation, Liam had just flown back from Ochor today, but they didn't look like strangers coming home together for the first time. James' mind was flooded with images that stirred up his jealousy, but he didn't even realize it. He just thought he was angry about getting cheated on. He had only had a bit to drink that evening, but once his emotions took over, the alcohol hit him hard all at once.

His anger boiled over as he stood by the car for a long time, staring at the warmly lit windows. A figure approached under the dim streetlight . "Mr. Frank, stalking and spying don't seem like things someone of the Frank family would do." Liam usually had a calm and polished demeanor, but his words were sharp and cutting when he spoke. ---- James recognized him and shot back angrily, "Who the hell do you think you are, talking to me like that?" James reeked of alcohol.

Liam raised an eyebrow, glanced at him, then at the still- running engine of the car. A cold, ruthless gleam flickered in his eyes.
