Hence, everyone eagerly leaned forward, stretching out to grab the documents on the table.
Only Logan remained seated throughout the commotion. His expression remained unchanged, making no move at all.

"Who dares touch it?!" Ryan's thunderous roar shook the boardroom. His eyes blazed with a fierce and bloodthirsty gaze.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThese people were more than just board members. They were also Ryan's elders. Yet he had managed to intimidate them all. They shrunk back in fear, not daring to touch the documents on the table.
"What's wrong, Ryan? Are you afraid to face reality, or are you unable to accept it?" Liam smirked at him, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "Deep down, you're probably instinctively rejecting the fact that your fiancée is mentally ill, right? Otherwise, why would you have kept your future wife, whom you claim to be inseparable from, from showing up in the office all this time? Are you afraid she'll embarrass you?" Alas, Ryan could not hold back any longer.
The Hoffmans did not have as many strict rules as the Salvadors or the Iversons, nor was he a privileged young master with a centuries-old family tradition. He also would not stoop to endure any humiliation like Justin did for the sake of the greater scheme. Ryan would always handle things his own way.
In a swift motion, he grabbed the water glass from the table and threw it at Liam's head without hesitation.
"Argh! That hurts!" Liam could not dodge in time. He took the full brunt of the blow on his forehead, which instantly swelled into a large lump. The water drenched his face and head, and he looked utterly disheveled.

The guards helped Liam to his feet. Struggling to stand firm, he spat out a mouthful of blood and foam onto the ground. Although his expression showed indignation and resentment, he was secretly calculating his next move.
He glanced subtly at Logan.
Seeing Logan maintain his composure without speaking up for either side, Liam understood this as tacit approval. He knew he had to see this through to the end.
Ryan returned to his seat, pulling out a clean handkerchief from his pocket to wipe away the blood stains on his hands. Suddenly, his gaze paused on the cute little bear pattern in one corner of the handkerchief.
So, he tucked it back into his suit pocket and casually wiped the blood off with his sleeve, the murderous aura in his eyes dissipating slightly.
Logan then furrowed his brows and asked, "Liam, are you alright? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
