Oliver nodded certainly.
"I was fishing by the stream last week, and I happened to run into Liam. I was shocked at that time!
Noah, Liam resembles you..."
Noah's expression darkened and became more gloomy.
"But apart from your appearance, you two don't have a resemblance." Oliver continued, "I was a little
suspicious so I secretly asked someone to investigate. Unexpectedly, the result of the investigation was
that Liam was not dead at all." This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
"He offended a few Boss in Eldoria after he was released from prison. He was expelled from Eldoria
after having his fingers chopped off for not repaying his debts."
Noah remained silent. Caleb also widened his eyes in shock.
Caleb came to his senses and asked, "So, is it possible that this matter is related to Jericho?"
"Noah! Maybe Jericho has already noticed that you're not Liam!"
A cold light flashed in Noah's eyes.
This was his primary concern. Noah had fought with Jericho a few times and Jericho acted strangely.
Jericho might have noticed that he was not Liam a long time ago.
Oliver licked his lips and hesitated, "Jericho... He can't be under Uncle Christopher, right?"
Noah raised his eyes, "We can't rule out this possibility! But there are too many suspicious things, we
can't conclude easily."
He remembered his last trip to a hot spring resort with Stella. A homeless man on the beach scared
Stella.
When Noah thought of it, he realized that the homeless man must be Liam!
Noah clenched his fists tightly with a stern look on his face."Since Liam isn't dead, we must catch him
quickly! We don't know what kind of trouble he'll cause if we let him stay around Evergreen Mountain!"
Oliver nodded, "Yes! I have secretly informed my family and I told them to keep quiet, but to go all out!"
Noah nodded lightly and patted Oliver on the shoulder.
Noah sat quietly behind the bar after they left and he felt confused.
He took out Liam's ID card and saw a face that resembled him.
Caleb's words suddenly became clear to him.
"Noah, you married Stella using Liam's identity that time. Stella is legally Liam's wife, while you're still
single... Your relationship with Stella is not legally protected at all!"
Noah gripped the ID card tightly, almost crushing it.
Stella was Liam's wife...
That bastard was still alive!
Noah's heart beat faster. He gasped for air as if there was a large stone pressing against his chest,
making him extremely uncomfortable.
When Jericho took the earliest flight and arrived at Emberfall, it was already misty dawn. Zander had
already sent someone to wait at the VIP exit.
Jericho nodded politely and got into the luxury business car arranged for him by Zander. Soon, he
arrived at the Martinez family's private club.
Zander was having breakfast
He was eating a bloody steak, with blood seeping out after being cut with a knife and fork. Zander's
eyes brightened, and he immediately dipped his fingers in the blood and sucked it.
Jericho frowned with a disgusted expression on his face.
"Hey, do you want to sit down and eat together?" Zander raised his voice and said.
Jericho refused flatly, "Thank you, Master Zander. I've already eaten."
"Then let's have a drink," Zander ordered someone to pour a glass of red wine and serve Jericho.
Jericho sat across the long table but this was not his habit. When he was talking to others, he would sit
where it was most convenient for him to talk, instead of sitting as far away as he could now.
Zander wiped his mouth with a napkin. With a glance, he sneered and ordered his subordinates to
hand over an envelope to Jericho.
Jericho paused for a moment before opening the envelope. There were only a few photos inside, but
the person in the photo surprised him!
Liam?
Jericho suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Zander, with his eyes widened with disbelief.
"Why, have you seen this person before?" Zander sneered.
Jericho put down the photo with a straight face.
"I'm asking you to kill this man." Zander stared at him and exclaimed, "Mr. Hart, please recognize him
clearly, and don't mistake him for someone else!"
"What do you mean by that?"
Zander laughed strangely for a long time until Jericho was about to lose his patience.
Zander said coldly, "Alright, I won't beat around the bush with you. This is Noah, the third young master
of the Martinez family! My grandfather had just traveled to North Ameland yesterday to meet with some
dignitaries, and now he has no time to care for the family... This is the best time for us to take a move!"
Jericho frowned slightly.
He had no idea that Stella's husband would be Noah!
Stella didn't know Noah's true identity based on their recent interactions, but she was extremely
protective of Noah. Jericho was afraid that if he hurt Noah, Stella would take revenge on him at any
cost.
Jericho was not afraid of a woman, but Stella was Mia's best friend...
Jericho took a deep breath and looked at Zander with puzzled eyes. After a long moment of silence, he
decided to evade this mission.
He murmured, "Master Zander. It is not easy. Please consider it carefully."
Zander played with the lighter in his hand indifferently. He smoked a cigar while smiling coldly at
Jericho.
Jericho hooked his lips, "I'm considering for you. I've heard that Sir Martinez likes Master Noah, and
there are rumors that Sir Martinez will hand over the Martinez Group to him in the future. Wouldn't Sir
Martinez thoroughly investigate if Master Noah suddenly disappeared?"
"Oh, Master Zander. Martinez's family is not easy to mess with, in case the investigation leads to me... I
can't bear it!"
"So you're afraid of this?" Zander's expression was strange. He raised his hand slowly and clapped
twice.
At this time, the door opened. The slow and heavy footsteps that came from outside the door could be
heard.
Jericho stared intently at the door. His mind went blank when the man appeared...
"You?" He was shocked, looking at Zander and then back to the man. Jericho was dumbfounded,
"Liam?!"
Liam wore a well-fitting suit and had his hair neatly styled.
He could be Noah's substitute as he stood there.
But the vulgarity in him, his dodging eyes, the humility in his bones. It was different from Noah!
"Mr... Mr. Hart!" Liam spoke with a flattering smile on his face. He was still the incapable man from the
past.
Jericho looked at him. Sure enough, Liam was missing a finger. His left hand's little finger was wrapped
in a finger cot.
Zander was very proud of himself and walked over to pat Liam's shoulder, "How is it? Is it possible to
fake it for real?"
Jericho took a deep breath and licked his lips, "Master Zander..."
"As long as you quietly get rid of Noah, Liam can be used for us in the future!"
At this point, Jericho had figured out Zander's plan.
By getting Noah removed and replacing him with Liam, Liam would become Zander's puppet!
Jericho sneered, "Master Zander. You don't think that your grandfather had a poor vision to this extent,
do you?"
"Pater is the head of the famous Martinez Group! What kind of hardships has he not encountered in his
life? If you replace his successor with such a loser, won't he be suspicious? He's old, but he's not
stupid!"
Jericho thought for a moment that Zander was insane.
As soon as Jericho finished his words, he noticed Zander's grim smile. Zander suddenly realized that
the only way for Sir Martinez not to become suspicious might be to...
Get rid of him together?
