The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 397

"But I don't think you like my brother, do you? He's always been your underling. No boss marries their underling."

"Marriage is less about liking someone and more about whether the person is suitable."

Renee smiled self-deprecatingly. "Take me, for example. You know how much I loved a certain man in the past? And how did that work out?"

"It's hard for me to become close with someone, especially men. Liam has been by my side all these years - helping me, supporting me, warming my heart. He makes me feel at ease. I don't think there's anyone in this world more suitable for me than him."

'The reason you would think he's suitable for you is because he suppresses his own nature to appeal to you... no, that's not entirely right."

Leia frowned as she searched for the right words. "It's like he's hiding his sharp edges to cater to you. In truth, my brother is extremely cocky. He has lots of ideas, lots of ambition and he's very capable. Otherwise, he wouldn't be notoriously known as the "Little Demon King" in Beach City. He's not the cute little obedient puppy that he appears to be in front of you."

"I know."

Renee said, "After all, your family earns money through the gray industries. Without some degree of ability and courage, how could you possibly keep the people in those industries in check? As the child Mr. Osborne values the most, Liam will take over the Osborne family one day. Of course he's not a cute little obedient puppy."
