Chapter 556
Renee was already walking out of the Osborne Mansion when she heard Liam shouting her name from behind. She
stopped but did not turn around.
"Why are you following me?’ she asked him coldly. ’Just go back and get a good rest. That whipping must've done a
great deal of damage to your body. Be careful or it might make you impotent."
"Boss..." Liam's lips were pale. His whole body seemed fragile and his handsome face was twisted by a look of
excruciating pain. "I'm so sorry, Boss! Please don't be angry with me!'
All these years, his family never liked it when he was too close to Renee, but as long as he made sure to keep it all
under a low profile, they always kept their distance and never interfered too much with his life. But he made a
mistake this time. Had he not taken such a monstrous risk and angered his father, Renee would not have been
humiliated by his own family.
"You idiot... How could I possibly be mad at you?!"

"You really are an idiot..." Renee shrugged resignedly. The reason why she could not turn around and look at him
was not that she was angry with him in any way, but only because she was too ashamed to face Liam right now.
"I'm the one who should apologize to you, Liam. You've given me so much help and support all these years. You
never hesitated to jump into the abyss with me. I took it for granted that everything was fine..."
"I'm not afraid of the abyss!" Liam interrupted agitatedly. He stepped forward and added, "You are the light of my
life. I would gladly follow you anywhere, and I would gladly do anything for you because I..."
"That's enough!" Renee raised her hand and abruptly cut off Liam's confession. She gently added, "I owe you too
much, Liam, and it's time for me to repay you. I've found a way to get that money, so all you need to do right now
is wait patiently for the good news, which I will bring you soon."
"But how?' Liam furrowed his brows deeply.
That money was no laughing matter. His father even said that it might be as high as 500 million, or even 800 million
dollars! He simply could not think of any way that Renee could suddenly cough up that ridiculous amount of money,
unless...
"You're not thinking about going back to the old way of life and joining that group of sly pigs again, aren't you?
That's just too reckless, Boss!"
In the past, he would have loved nothing more than to get Renee to return to her old ways. After all, she was just
too cool and too powerful then! The world was her oyster and she could dictate the weather if she wanted to!
But things were different now. She was now a mother to two adorable kids, Adie and Abby, and a quiet and
peaceful life suited her more now. If it turned out that Renee's solution to her current problem was to go back to
her old ways, then he would probably feel so guilty that he might kill himself!
"Don't be ridiculous!" Renee bluntly refuted Liam's assumption. "I promised Grandpa that I'll never do that ever
again for the sake of Adie and Abby, so you have my word that I'll never get involved with those pigs ever again."
Certainly, the idea was tempting. After all, with her old ways, she could easily get hundreds of millions of dollars
without lifting a finger. But that lifestyle was simply too precarious. She narrowly escaped with her own life, and the
mere thought of it would make her break out in cold sweat. No, there was no way that she would ever go back

"Then how..."
"You don't need to know the details right now," Renee asserted. "I may be poor, but I still have enough fixed assets
to settle the money."
"Don't lie to me! I know exactly what kind of predicament you're in right now. You don't have any fixed assets,
you're..."
"Enough! Stop interrogating me! I'm still your boss, aren't I? In that case, you should trust in my abilities and believe
that I know what I'm doing!
Have I ever disappointed you before?"
"I guess you're right..."
Renee's bold confidence put Liam somewhat at ease, but he was still concerned for her. Nevertheless, he knew
what she was like. If she did not want to reveal something, he could ask her till his mouth went dry and she would
still keep her lips sealed. He also knew that Renee would never give up till she was able to pay up, so he decided to
just give up the matter for now.
"No matter what solution you've thought of," he told her, "just remember to be careful and stay safe, Boss! If
there's anything at all that I can do to help, just say the word and I'll be there!
