All he did was look at the door and shout, "Leave the door open so Mr. Rivers can cand go as he pleases, got that? Also, get scurtains to cover that iron door. We'll replace the door soon.
"Say, is it me, or is that lightbulb dim? Isn't it twe upgraded the bathroom? I'll have a hot water system and a bathtub installed tomorrow!"

Just who could be so important for Liam to make such a big fuss? After ensuring Ethan was settled, Liam left, not wanting to disturb the man further. Once outside, he called the lieutenant governor, Zane, and asked about the situation.
Zane told him that George showed no remorse and still wanted to align with the Quinns to have Stephen take over. Upon hearing that, Liam's face turned red with anger.

Nothing. It's just too hot and doesn't suit my taste."
Stephen set the coffee aside and picked up a slice of toast. He took a bite and instantly frowned, finding the taste off-putting.
He was used to gourmet nreals in Metropolis and had never eaten food like that. He hated it.
George said, "Take your teating. I have something to discuss with V you.
Since Ethan was in charge before, many mayors and officials have connections with him. Smight even have taken his bribes." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
