The Untouchable Ex-Wife

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.”

He’s not the cute little obedient puppy that he appears to be in front of you.”

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.”
