Against Cruelty, She Grew Strong (by Anastasia Glover) novel Chapter 677

Chapter 677 Liam Burns With Jealous Doubt

Liam frowned, “Just the two of you?”

“This is our home, of course it’s just us. Who are you? Why did you break in? Leave now or I’m calling the police!”

Liam strode past him and searched every room.

He checked every corner, made sure no one was hiding, and finally let out a breath of relief.

Tatiana hadn’t betrayed him.

So where was she?

He pulled out his phone and called Tatiana.

Her ringtone sounded from outside.

He looked up and saw Tatiana standing in the doorway, her face cold.

“Tatiana.”

He walked toward her and reached for her hand—but she pulled away.

“What are you doing here?”

Liam went quiet.

Tatiana let out a cold laugh, “I get it. You followed me?”

He rubbed his forehead, “No. I was worried about you.”

“Worried enough to stalk me, Liam. Impressive.”

He could tell she was angry. He tried to soothe her, “You don’t know this circle well. I was afraid they’d lead you astray.”

“Oh, so you even know where I went.”

Liam was at a loss for words.

But then something occurred to him. He quickly asked, “And the person you were with…”

“Tatiana, who’s this?”

The call of her name drew both their attention.

Vane walked over in a robe, still wearing the irritation of someone interrupted.

“Who’s this guy? Busting in here like that. You scared Neo.”

“My husband.”

Vane looked surprised, “Your husband?”

Liam was equally thrown, “Your friend?”

Tatiana stared at him coldly, “Is that a problem? He’s a friend I ran into here. Name’s Vane. He saved my life years ago, then disappeared. I only just found him.”

Vane caught on right away. He smiled and said, “Looks like there’s been a misunderstanding, sir.”

“Neo, come here.”

The boy who looked like a girl came over obediently and said, “Hello.”

Only then did Liam feel a twinge of awkwardness and guilt.

He seemed to have gotten the wrong idea.

Tatiana smirked, “Satisfied now?”

Vane stood on the balcony, watching them leave side by side. His eyes were dark and heavy.

Beside him, Neo Chase asked curiously, “Vane, can we really trust her?”

Vane didn’t answer.

Neo hesitated, “She’s Liam’s fiancée. She’s on their side. She can’t be trusted.”

Vane finally looked away, “If she wanted to sell us out, we’d already be dead. You know how the Langstrom family operates.”

Neo fell silent.

The truth was, Tatiana had realized she was being followed the moment she went upstairs.

It was Liam—no one else.

Neo apologized on the spot.

“Neo, thanks for earlier.”

Even though it was just acting, he’d still done something pretty intrusive.

Neo smiled shyly, “Vane, you’re too kind. I didn’t do much. If it weren’t for you back then, I wouldn’t be alive. You saved everyone. You saved me.”

Vane shook his head, “I didn’t do enough. I can’t take down the Langstrom family. All I can do is keep you all living like this—scraping by.”

It wasn’t just Faye who hated the Langstrom family.

There were many others—countless victims of their cruelty.

Vane was one. Neo was one. The team behind them was made up of them all. They despised the Langstrom family to the core, but could do nothing.

The Langstroms were too powerful. They couldn’t be brought down. Even if they threw their lives away in an assassination attempt, Jack was always surrounded by guards—impossible to get close to.
