True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1625

Teresa's face got even paler. It was as if there was not a trace of blood left in her. Her eyes feared up instantly. She seemed to have suffered a massive blow.

Her lips trembled and her eyes betrayed her internal conflict. "Okay, I understand now."

Without even looking at her, he walked to his car to get the remaining bags.

Teresa remained rooted to the stop. She looked completely devastated.

She had moved here so that she could meet him more often. However, she discovered that not only did he have a girlfriend, but they were also staying together. What was worse was that she did not know anything about it.

She thought that she could make her way into Liam's life at the lowest point in his career. She thought that he would feel touched and grateful, and naturally, she would do her best to help him in his career. However, she finally realized that it was all wishful thinking.

She could not accept it.

She turned around and looked at Liam with sadness in her eyes. As she watched him, she saw him holding something in his hand before he locked his car and left.

When he looked at her, his eyes were frighteningly calm.

It made her even more reluctant to admit defeat.

Liam walked past her, ignoring her. It was as if there was no one standing there.

Frantic, she turned around and ran after him. "Liam, what is your girlfriend's name? Can you introduce her to me?"

"There's no need for that," Liam replied indifferently. "We're very busy. We don't have time to hang out with people who don't matter. Please excuse me. I have to go now." People who did not matter.

So, to him, she was just someone who did not matter.

Teresa laughed bitterly at herself.

She could only watch as Liam entered the elevator. The moment the elevator doors closed, she closed her eyes. Watching him leave had been incredibly painful.

She took out her mobile phone and called Johnny.

"Johnny, do you have time? Why don't we meet now?"

"What is it?"

"Let's talk after we meet. It's about Liam. I'm sure you'll want to hear about it," Teresa said. "I'm going to meet you right now."

She quickly hung up the phone, returned to her car, and drove off.

After Liam went upstairs, he made sure to put away everything nicely.

Maria was also tidying up the things they had brought up earlier while eating a dessert. "Here, try this. It's from my house," she said, holding up a spoonful of the dessert.

After glancing at it, he opened his mouth to accept the spoonful of dessert.

It was scrumptious.

"Does it taste good?" Maria asked.

The dessert seemed to melt in his mouth. Indeed, it tasted good. "It's delicious."

"You can't eat too much, or else you'll put on weight. But it's all right to have it once in a while. It's delicious, right?"

"It is," Liam replied with a smile.

"We don't have to cook tomorrow. There's enough food for breakfast and lunch. We even have some beef stew from home. I peeked at it earlier. It looks like my grandmother made it," Maria said happily, gesturing at all the food.

Liam looked at her with a gentle gaze. "You should eat more. You've used a lot of energy these few days, so you need to replenish your energy."

When she finally understood what he meant, she blushed.

He was the one that had used a lot of energy, not her.

Liam was the one who exercised every day. After studying him for a while, she went to get some of the beef stew. "You're the one who should eat more. You look like you've lost some weight recently." Liam was usually very careful about his diet, but these were given by the Lowe family and he really wanted to try them.

That night, he had supper with Maria.

The two of them ate happily.

However, his phone rang suddenly.

Liam glanced at his phone and saw that the call was from Cindy.

Taken aback, he said to Maria, "Cindy is calling me."

Maria was also taken aback. "Oh. Then answer it."

"Okay."

Liam answered the call.

"Miss White." His tone was calm. Although it was not as respectful as before, neither was it disrespectful.

However, it was clear that he did not sound as polite as before.

At that moment, Liam's voice sounded particularly cold.

"Liam, I'm downstairs and about to come up," Cindy said. "You had better open the door later."

Liam frowned as he asked in confusion, "Miss White, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Of course there is," Cindy replied solemnly. "But we'll talk about it later."

After that, she hung up.

Liam stared at his phone. He looked at Maria with a frown and a doubtful expression. "Cindy said that she's here and that she's coming upstairs." "Then, I should hide," Maria said. "Why do I have a feeling that it doesn't bode well?"

"I don't know either. You should go into the bedroom first," Liam said.

Maria did what she did before. She quickly packed up her things and went into the bedroom.

There were no signs that a girl was in Liam's home anymore.

Shortly afterward, Cindy knocked on the door.

Liam went to open the door and found that Cindy had come alone.

He let her in and asked, "Miss White, is there any reason you came looking for me?"

"Are you dating? Also, do you want to terminate the contract with the company?" Cindy sounded unhappy.

She looked around Liam's apartment, but she did not notice anything out of the ordinary. Frowning, she turned to look at Liam.

He was silent. He merely gazed at Cindy calmly and coldly.

"What's the matter? You're not denying it. Does that mean it's true?" Cindy sat down on the sofa and raised her eyebrows slightly, shooting him a sharp look. "Miss White, how do you know that I'm in a relationship?" Liam had not told anyone about it apart from Teresa when he met her downstairs a while ago.

Cindy was surprised at his response. "You're really dating, aren't you? Who is that girl? Why don't I know about it?"

"That's my personal affair. Do I need to report that to you?" Liam's attitude was still as calm as ever.

"Liam, just how stubborn do you have to be?" Cindy frowned and continued, "You even want to terminate the contract with the company. Do you still want to stay in the entertainment industry or not?"

"I really don't," Liam said indifferently. "Miss White, you seem really angry. I don't know why you're angry. Are you worried that you won't be able to control me any longer?"

Cindy was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly chuckled. "Liam, do you think you can successfully terminate the contract?"

"I don't know, but I have to try," Liam answered in a low voice. "It may be difficult, but how will I know if I don't try?"

"I won't let you succeed," Cindy snarled in a low voice. "To tell you the truth, I was the one who tried to suppress you before. I was the one who allowed it to happen."

Hearing Cindy's words, Liam only smiled. Maintaining his composure, he said, "Miss White, I know that you hold a high-ranking position. But I don't think you have that much power to suppress me. I know who you're defending. We know each other too well."

There was a glint in her eyes as she looked directly at him and said, "You're determined to leave the company, aren't you?"

"That's right," Liam replied honestly.

"Is Zachary Lowe helping you terminate the contract?" Cindy asked. "Along with Heinz Jones and his wife?"

"It seems that Johnny has told you everything."

"Then, who is your girlfriend? Tell me. Is she related to the Lowe family or the Jones family?" Cindy demanded to know.

"That has nothing to do with you," Liam said in a low voice. "That's private."

"If I want to know, it'll be easy for me to replace out," Cindy said. "As long as I ask the reporters to stake out this place, I'll definitely be able to get a picture of her."

Liam was startled. He looked sharply at Cindy. "Miss White, why are you so curious?"

"Because I want to know who your girlfriend is." Suddenly, she sneered. "Didn't you like Celeste before? Have you lost interest in her so soon already? Or do you usually shift your interest from one person to another this quickly?"

Liam's expression changed immediately.

Chuckling, she turned to look in the direction of his bedroom. She continued, "You liked Celeste. You liked her so much, yet you changed your mind so soon. Liam, are you using this new girlfriend of yours? I don't think you have any true feelings for your new girlfriend."
