"I hope nothing bad happens to him..."Although Serena felt a sense of justice hearing about what happened to Isaac from Layla after regaining consciousness, Serena knew one thing very clearly.Although she was filled with hatred toward Isaac for drugging her, if something really bad happened to him, the Lloyd family could not afford the consequences.Layla noticed Serena's concern. "Serena, why are you worried about Isaac? That lecherous fat guy deserved some suffering! Our main priority now should be to find the person who saved you."She looked at Serena curiously and asked, "You really can't remember anything?"Serena sighed and shook her head, "No, I have no memory of it. The only thing I remember is that Isaac drugged me and tried to take advantage of me, but everything that happened after that, I can't recall at all..."Layla was right. Besides Isaac, the most important thing was to find out who saved her. After all, being able to rush into the room decisively in that sit
"Was it Tobias?" After hearing Layla's words, Serena shook her head after a moment of contemplation. "It couldn't have been him. When I was drugged, Tobias wasn't even there..."She did not finish her sentence. Serena could not shake off the peculiar feeling about Tobias's sudden departure that night. She still vividly remembered how, when she was being forced to drink by Isaac and hoped Tobias would say something on her behalf, he silently sat there with his head down.Even after she regained consciousness, Serena had tried to contact Tobias to understand what had happened, but strangely, he never answered her calls."Then, who could it be?" Layla murmured.Only a few people knew about what had happened yesterday.Suddenly, Layla looked up, staring intently at Serena. "Serena! You said the person who rushed to save you… Could it be Liam?"Serena frowned at her sister's words. "Who did you say?"Layla's eyes were wide open. "Liam, my brother-in-law. He called me yesterday to a
Layla was already angry upon hearing Hailey's words."Etchen! How can you speak to us like that?! It was Isaac who drugged our sister! If it weren't for Serena's savior arriving in time, the consequences would've been unimaginable! Is it wrong for us to want to know who he really is?"In response, Etchen snorted coldly. "Unimaginable? I think our situation is already unimaginable! If the military comes knocking on our door, what do you say we'll do? What will happen to the Lloyd Group?"Layla's eyes widened with anger at his words. "Serena was the one negotiating the cooperation for us. None of this is her fault—""That's enough, Layla. Stop talking."However, Serena interrupted Layla before she could finish her sentence. Serena waved her hand, a bitter smile appearing on her pale face."He's right. We won't have a solution if the military comes looking for us. What we need to do now is think about what to do next!"At that moment, Sam, who had been standing to the side, looked
Upon hearing the news, the Lloyd family trembled in fear.Etchen glared at Serena with clenched teeth. "What's going on?! Look at what you've done! Will you only be satisfied if you get us all killed? All you had to do was sleep with Isaac! You've already divorced, so what difference does one night make? Now, look at the mess we're in! Isaac is dead, and his uncle is coming here! What are we supposed to do?!"His face contorted with rage. Given the background of Isaac's uncle, if he brought his men to their home, their lives would be in serious danger.Serena was stunned. She never imagined that after everything that happened yesterday, Isaac would end up dead. Although she was furious with Isaac after he drugged her, hearing about his death made her realize how dire the situation had become.Sam's face was filled with panic. "What are we going to do? I heard Isaac's uncle has a terrible temper and is known for his ruthlessness in the military. If he seeks revenge, we could be in r
As soon as he heard the sound of the bolt being pulled, a look of terror flashed across Etchen's face.He shouted, "General Ender, stop! It's got nothing to do with us! It was Serena who attended the dinner. We know nothing about it! Even if it is related, it is connected to Serena alone. Go find her—"Etchen was terrified, babbling incessantly. However, Henry's guard slapped Etchen hard across the face before he could finish his sentence, sending him sprawling to the ground.Smack!"Do you want to die? This is not your place to speak!"Etchen fell to the floor, his face burning with pain, leaving his mind in a daze. Instinctively, he raised his head, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at Serena.He believed that Serena caused all of it.It was not just Etchen. Every member of the Lloyd family glared at Serena with hatred. However, they forgot that Serena had attended the dinner because of them, for the sake of the Lloyd Group.Serena sighed softly. "He's right. This
Serena nodded. "Yes! Mister Corona is a friend of Mister Timberwood. I got to know Mister Timberwood through Mister Corona. He was present during our meal, so he might have some clues. General Ender, could you please give me some time to contact Mister Corona?""No need for such trouble."General Henry gave a cold smile and signaled to his guards. Immediately after, a terrified voice echoed as several soldiers brought In Tobias."I don't know anything! Mister Timberwood asked me to go out and buy things for him. I didn't even return to the hotel!""Tobias?"Serena was stunned at the sight. She did not expect that General Henry had already captured the person she could not reach, Tobias.Henry sneered. "If you wanted to call him, I doubt you would have reached him. When I found him, he was at the airport. He would've already escaped if I had arrived a bit later!"Serena was even more taken aback. "What?"However, Hailey, not understanding the situation, saw Tobias as her last ho
Serena abruptly widened her eyes with disbelief as she looked at him. "The incident with the Hill family… It wasn't you who did it? It wasn't you who spoke to the Hill family?""What does that have to do with me? It was you who insisted on giving me the credit!" Tobias snapped back at her, deflecting the blame.The rest of the Lloyd family stood there, stunned by Tobias's words. They had not expected to uncover another truth while dealing with Isaac's death. The Hill family spared the Lloyd Group and even agreed to resume their collaboration was not because of Tobias.Serena was momentarily dazed. "Then, who could it be?"For a moment, her heart was filled with confusion and uncertainty. During the incident with the Hill family and even Isaac's drug attempt, when someone saved her at a critical moment, made Serena feel as if there was someone silently protecting her.Instinctively, an image of Liam angrily telling her that the Hill family matter had nothing to do with Tobias flash
Initially, Henry harbored suspicions about Tobias. However, after the recent events, Henry was certain of one thing—Isaac's death had nothing to do with Tobias.Therefore, there was only one person left who might know the truth.Henry's eyes were cold as he looked at Serena. "Let me ask you again. What exactly happened to Isaac? If you can't answer me, don't blame me for what happens next!"Serena smiled bitterly. "General Ender, I really don't know..."Although she wanted to protect the person who saved her, she also genuinely had no idea what had happened that night. However, Henry clearly did not believe her.He sneered, his gaze sweeping over the Lloyd family. "It seems you don't realize the gravity of the situation..."Henry waved his hand. Immediately, the guards beside him, holding their guns, began to approach the rest of the Lloyd family.Suddenly, a guard holding a document ran in and reported to Henry, "General, we've found something! Through Serena's phone, we discov
"I'll give you a hint."Liam gave a faint smile, but there was no emotion behind it. "Your grandfather, Arkem, sent someone to South City to find me, didn't he?""South City…"Andy froze for a moment.The next moment, his body trembled, and his eyes widened in shock. "You... you're that... Liam Burrey?!"Although Yaksha had brought Godfrey's body to Juneau to meet Arkem in secret, with very few people knowing about it, over time, the news eventually spread through the Nosh family.Not to mention, Arkem had directly sent the Monochrome Duo Wraiths to South City.The sudden disappearance of Arkem's trusted aides, who had always been by his side, was bound to raise suspicion.Most importantly, the severed arm of Yaksha had not returned to South City but remained in Juneau with the Nosh family.Through his daily, hate-filled rants, many members of the Nosh family in Juneau had learned the name of the person who killed Godfrey — the mysterious Liam from South City!However, unlike
Elsa stood dazed in place.She stared at Michael, who had collapsed on the ground, already lifeless, her eyes trembling uncontrollably.Even now, Elsa could not accept it—her son had just died right in front of her!"I... I will fight you to the death!"In the next moment, Elsa suddenly lifted her head, her face contorted, her eyes wide with rage as she rushed towards Liam. "I'll make you bury my son!"You damn, knife-wielding b*stard, I will kill you!"Her hoarse cries echoed throughout the villa's living room."You're so desperate... want to die?"Seeing this, Liam lowered his head and looked at Elsa below."I..."Upon hearing Liam's words, Elsa trembled, suddenly snapping back to her senses.Although Michael's death left her heartbroken, Elsa was not ready to die—she had not lived enough yet!She could not possibly want to die!Elsa immediately stopped in her tracks."Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I don't want to die! My son is dead! That's enough! I don't want to die!
"I didn't expect that I hadn't found you yet, and you came right to my doorstep!"Speak! What is your purpose for following behind Elsa and the others and coming to my Nosh family's banquet?"He stared at Liam, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light.As the legitimate eldest grandson of the Nosh family in Juneau, Andy was no pampered, unskilled rich second generation. He was very intelligent!Andy clearly knew that following behind Elsa and the others without being noticed, and even sneaking into the villa without alarming security, was no ordinary feat.All of this was not something just anyone could accomplish!Therefore, when facing Liam, he did not act rashly.However, Andy was quite clever, but there were always those at the scene who did not understand the situation."I didn't expect this b*stard to dare follow us the whole way!" Michael suddenly reached out, pointing at Liam while speaking harshly, "And you still dare tell Mister Andy Nosh that we brought you here!"We
He noticed this scene.Andy's expression suddenly darkened, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.This villa was his private residence.Although it had been provided for the evening banquet, most of the villa contained Andy's personal belongings, especially on the second floor, where his bedroom was.If it were not for today's public display, Andy would never have allowed someone like Elsa to go up to the second floor of the villa!And now, someone actually dared to step onto the second floor of the villa without his permission!They were really courting death!"Who allowed you to go up there?"Andy's face was gloomy, and his voice was icy cold."Do I need your permission to go up there?"Liam looked down from a higher vantage point, answering淡ly."Do you dare speak to me like that?"As soon as Andy heard Liam's words, his expression changed dramatically.As the legitimate eldest grandson of the Nosh family, one of the most influential families in Juneau, the future
Elsa lifted her head and looked at Andy."I didn't mean that."Upon hearing this, Andy shook his head.He squinted as he examined Elsa, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.The fearful attitude that Elsa and Michael showed in front of him made Andy feel quite proud. This situation proved that he held supreme authority in their hearts.As long as this was the case, it meant he could easily control the Link family!However, controlling subordinates required more than just authority. It needed a balance of both favor and power!Only then could he leave a deep impression on the other guests at this banquet!"What I meant was, since you're unwell, you should get more rest."Andy's tone changed, and he smiled warmly, speaking in a friendly manner."As for the matter this time, I've understood it, and of course, you're not to blame.""Thank you, Mister Nosh!"Hearing Andy's words, Elsa's face lit up with surprise, and she repeatedly bowed to thank him."No need to thank m
"Don't say it's some kind of accident."Andy completely ignored Michael, once again disgustedly waving his hand at Elsa, who was still nearby. He wrinkled his nose at the faint smell of urine floating in the air. "Get away from me.""Eh! Alright, alright!"Elsa quickly nodded, retreating another step.Michael closely followed her, a forced smile on his face.In front of Andy, they did not dare show any of the unreasonableness they had displayed earlier when facing Liam!"Who would wear something like this to Mister Andy Nosh's banquet?""Not just the clothes, didn't you smell that urine odor coming from her?""I remember, they're from the Link family, the ones collaborating with Mister Andy Nosh on that cosmetics brand, right? This is just hilarious!"…Hearing this, other guests at the banquet could not help but burst into mocking laughter."That damn scoundrel, making me lose face like this. Once I get out of Mister Andy Nosh's house, I'm going to find him!"Hearing the v
It was precisely because of this series of reasons that, to avoid unnecessary trouble, they decided not to drive to the dinner. That's how they happened to run into Liam.One could say that a series of coincidences aligned to create the situation that unfolded today.Not far from the scene, the woman and the man turned a corner and entered a secluded villa area. Following the narrow path inside, they arrived at a mansion guarded by security, a lavish estate."We are here to attend Mister Andy Nosh's dinner."They quickly handed the invitation, which they had been holding, to the security at the door.This mansion was one of Andy's properties."Elsa Loony, Michael Link?"The security guard took the invitation and looked suspiciously at the man and woman standing before him."Yes, it's us! It's us!"The woman, Elsa, quickly nodded.Upon hearing this, the security guard squinted and gave Elsa a once-over, his eyes briefly flashing over her tattered clothing.Elsa smiled awkward
"We've been preparing for so long, just for this banquet hosted by Mister Andy Nosh!"The woman cried with a long face and said, "Now that it's come to this, if we go to the banquet, aren't we just going to embarrass ourselves?""Umm..."Hearing this, the man turned around, looking at the woman whose clothes were torn into shreds, emitting a foul smell of urine, and was momentarily stunned.Forget about the woman's feelings. Even the man himself felt that his mother was somewhat embarrassing at the moment."We should hurry back and let me take a bath and change clothes!"The woman stopped in her tracks and anxiously spoke to the man."Mom, there's no time!" Hearing this, the man lowered his head and glanced at the time. A troubled expression crossed his face. "You know, Mister Andy Nosh can't stand people being late!""We'll explain it to him, he'll definitely understand." He lifted his head to look at the woman.This banquet was truly important to them; otherwise, they would
Seeing this, the man whispered, "Also, the paramedics said that if we don't cut open your clothes, you might really lose your life..."Hearing the man's words, the woman's face immediately turned pale!"I..."She glanced at Liam, then turned to look at the other paramedics nearby, opening her mouth but unable to say a word.This time, the woman, having understood the situation, looked as if she had lost everything.There was no longer the slightest hint of the arrogance and insolence she had shown earlier!"Now that you've woken up, are you going to the hospital with us or not?"Looking at the woman, the paramedic continued with his previous question."If we don't go to the hospital, will my mom suddenly have another episode?"The man spoke up."After the epilepsy situation stabilizes, it should be fine for now. Actually, if your mom hadn't acted rashly earlier, it should've been okay," the paramedic glanced at the man and said, "But the condition still exists, and further tr
