Chapter 154 1/1
At this point, the two of us couldn’t hold back anymore and burst out laughing.
Liam cleared his throat and tried to suppress has amusement. “So what you’re saying is that we should thank you?”
“No, Mr. Tyler. Of course, we don’t mean that,” the voice on the other end stammered.
Liam was clearly tired of exchanging pleasantries and got straight to the point. “Lower the price by another 15 million dollars, and we’ve got a deal.”
The other end paused and was followed by a forced laugh. “But we’ve already agreed on the price…”
“Exactly. We had a deal, but you still tried to sell it to the Graysons. You’re the one who didn’t keep your word. Take it or leave it. 1.5 million dollars, and no less. Otherwise, go ahead and sell it to someone else,”
At that point, I started feeling nervous, What if they decided to back out and refuse to sell? What then?
“Uhm… I may need to discuss this with the others in charge. Could you wait a moment?” Mr. Cain said.
I gave Liam a look and signaled for him to hang up. “Isn’t 1.5 million dollars a bit too aggressive?”

Liam was confident and acted as if he had complete control of the situation. “What? You don’t trust me huh?”
I turned away and focused on wiping Grandma’s face instead.
The phone rang again a few minutes later. “Mr. Tyler, we discussed it. How about one million instead?”
15 million. Not a penny less.” Liam insisted firmly and sounded like an experienced veteran.
“Well… fine. We’ll lower it by 1.5 million dollars from the original price. Let’s sign the contract as soon as possible.”
After agreeing on a time, Liam hung up the phone and immediately exclaimed, “Damn, I should’ve bargained for more.”
I couldn’t help but laugh, and Liam looked at me, puzzled, I said, “I never imagined Mr. Tyler to have such a knack for haggling Liam colled his eyes. “You brainiacs do really know how to complement someone,
After joking around, he became serious again. “On a serious note, how do you plan to handle the issue with your grandmother?” I gripped Grandma’s hand tightly and was tom inside. “Grandma’s condition still hasn’t stabilized. I can’t ignore her healt withdraw the case against Leah’

“Evelyn, things aren’t stable right now. You won’t be able to take care of your grandmother properly if you bring her back with you, and it’s better to leave her here. It’s not ideal, but she will understand.” Liam said and inched closer with sincerity and determination. I felt a wave of emotion surge inside me. My nose tingled when I thought about how I’d just reunited with Grandma and would have to part again, and I almost
cried.
Liam sensed my emotions and covered Grandma’s ears.

Liam replied with a mischievous grin, “you cry like a kettle, and I don’t want to disturb her.”
“”You’re the kettle!” retorted and threw my bag at lum
He dodged numbly. “Fine, I’m the kettle. So the kettle will be taking care of your grandmother then.”
He added, “Evelyn, your hardships are finally coming to an end.”
The sudden shift in mood caught me off guard, but he was right. My beloved Grandma was by my side again, and I was studying a major I was passionate about 1 also had Liam and a group of loyal friends around me.
