Chapter 4

Heather's gaze fell on the bottles in my arms. She raised her voice. "Such expensive whiskey. Liana must have realized her mistake and came to apologize and beg for your forgiveness."

Hearing this, Colton's expression softened slightly.

He snorted coldly. "Smart move, but don't think I'll forgive you that easily!"

He walked up to me and said mockingly, "However, if you behave, I can give you a chance.”

"When the banquet starts, you'll perform something for everyone. Then you'll respectfully toast Heather three times. Do that, and I'll give you a chance to come back to the company.”

"Of course, after you finish toasting, you'll only be allowed to watch us eat. After all, there was never a seat for you at this banquet! Heather, take the bottles."

With that, Colton snorted coldly. Without even looking at me, he walked into the hotel on his own.

Heather stepped forward on command to take them. I moved aside. "This whiskey isn't for you."

Colton stopped in his tracks. He turned around sharply with a cold sneer. "What? Still playing hard to get? Liana, I'm telling you, the act gets old real fast."

"Exactly, Liana. Stop pretending. If you make Mr. Tiller angry later, even begging on your knees won't help," Heather said disdainfully.

The other colleagues also showed contempt on their faces.

"Stop being so stubborn. Why are you still acting high and mighty at a time like this?"

"Right! I never noticed before, but the only prominent thing about Liana is probably her big mouth!"

Colton listened to these words and looked at me arrogantly. I remained silent and cold.

Seeing this, his expression darkened. "You love putting on a show so much? Don't make me tear down your stage!"

Heather mocked, "Colton, if Liana doesn't have a stage, how will she perform for everyone later?"

Colton snorted coldly. "That's her problem! She doesn't know what's good for her. Someone take those bottles from her!"

At those words, Heather and a few male colleagues immediately walked over.

I struggled and resisted, but Heather kicked me. I stumbled, and the bottles in my arms shattered on the ground.

Heather immediately said pitifully, "Liana, no matter how angry you are, you can't throw bottles around."

Seeing this, Colton's face turned livid with anger. "Liana, I was being generous, wasn't I? And you still dare to throw a tantrum and smash bottles! You scared Heather. Apologize to her right now!"

He was furious, looking like he wanted to devour me whole.

Heather's gaze swept over me triumphantly, but she pretended to be aggrieved. "Forget it, Mr. Tiller. Liana obviously doesn't want to. Don't make things difficult for her. It's fine if I suffer a little."

This made Colton even angrier. "Don't speak up for her. If she refuses to apologize today, I'll divorce her!"

He looked at me arrogantly after saying this, wearing an expression of absolute certainty, but I had already lost faith in him a long time ago. I just clenched my fists tightly and looked heartbroken at the whiskey spilled all over the ground.

"Get on your knees and apologize! Hurry up and stop wasting everyone's time! Liana, did you hear me!"

I raised my head and looked at Colton standing before me so arrogantly. "Then let's get divorced."

"What did you say?"

Everyone was somewhat surprised to hear this. Joy flashed across Heather's face, but she quickly put on an act.

"Liana, don't be impulsive. After all, the company is about to partner with the design institute. Even though I'm the one who secured the contract, I don't mind letting you share the credit."

Hearing him say this, the colleagues chimed in one after another.

"She still has the nerve to share the credit? If you ask me, she should just leave now. Heather and Mr. Tiller are a perfect match."

"Exactly. When Mr. Tiller's status rises, a wastrel like her won't even be worthy of him."

I clenched my fists. Colton grew even more smug. "Did you hear that, you wastrel? Divorce or get down and apologize. Your choice!"

"Then let's get divorced!"

Just then, footsteps were heard from outside the door, followed by several familiar voices.

"Don't be afraid. We're all here. I'd like to see who dares bully you!"
