Her Seven Little Bodyguards

Chapter 1097

Chapter 1097 Double Standards

What else could I say? Whatever I said would be futile. No one would believe me.

Just then, April stepped forward and joined them. "What you said must be true if you can't even explain yourself."

Thomas was surprised, and he offered a piece of advice. "Why not just confess?"

Am I having a trial now? What am I supposed to confess to? Liam was genuinely exasperated by their relentless accusations.

"That's enough." He cut them off and said, "I've never had feelings for Vania, not in the past, and certainly won't in the future." Surely, they would understand him after he had said that, right?

The three of them could tell Liam was serious from his tone. They stopped their accusations and said, "We'll see about that."

Were they planning on monitoring me just to make sure that I wouldn't go back on my words?

Hanson also observed Liam closely at that instant. He concluded that only half of what Liam said was true while the other half was not. He stressed to him as he looked him directly in the eyes, "I'll remember what you said today. Don't give me a reason to be your enemy,"

Hanson warned in a serious manner. He wouldn't hesitate to oppose him if Liam had indeed fallen for Vania.

"Don't worry, we'll never come to such a day. You've all misunderstood me,” Liam said. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Little did Hanson know that he would come to regret his words in the near future.

As for Liam, he stared at the men around him and asked in confusion, "Why did you all target me?" It was Thomas who genuinely harbored feelings for Vania. So, Thomas should be the one to have been warned by Hanson, right? However, the two of them never engaged in direct confrontation. Their previous encounters were only silent standoffs. Most of them ended with Hanson showing off. I hadn't even confessed to her, yet I am already under attack by them. Am I a victim of double standards?

Hanson understood Liam's implication. So, he glanced at Thomas, who was leaning on crutches, and he felt that he posed no threat to him. Then, he shifted his gaze to Liam and said, "My wife hasn't even donated blood to him."

Thomas was left speechless. Did I just get looked down upon? Or did I misread the situation? It seemed like Hanson was really arrogant now.

Why did receiving blood from Vania become a requirement to be his rival? Liam was once again at a loss for words. Was I being singled out because I had received her blood donation? Can I return the blood if that’s the case? Of course not, I wouldn't survive if I do.

Hanson added, "It's a life-saving favor. Don't you dare forget to return it."

Marvelous. Not only did I receive a warning, but I also owed a life-saving debt now.

Bryan felt the atmosphere tense up when he heard about repaying a favor. He intervened, "Have you heard this, Hanson?"

"Go ahead."

"One shall always remember others' kindness and return the favors."

Bryan didn't want Liam to get too close to Vania. Although Liam was his uncle, he was also a fan of the Hanson and Vania couple. Therefore, he would do anything to prevent something bad from happening to them.

Hanson's tone turned cold as he replied, "I think you meant to say something else."

April stepped up and added at that instant, "Did you mean if one couldn't repay a favor, one should repay it with oneself?"

Liam's heart sank like a rock as soon as he heard that. The trio are truly the best of friends, and they are determined to push me even deeper into the abyss.

"Repaying with oneself? My wife's sense is better than that." Hanson made fun of Liam mercilessly. He truly believed that his wife wouldn't like him even the slightest.
