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
Serena stared wide-eyed at her mother, feeling a sense of urgency. "Mom! What nonsense are you spouting? How could Liam possibly be involved in Isaac's situation? Do you even know what kind of person he is? What are you thinking!""He wouldn't have done something like this before," Hailey scoffed. "But after spending four years in prison, who knows!"With that, Hailey turned her attention to Henry. "General Ender, it's almost certain! It was definitely Liam!"Henry sneered. "Knocking out all those bodyguards I assigned to Isaac? One person couldn't do that alone, but looking at you now, it seems I've found the real culprit!"Henry squinted with a cold, murderous intent. "When you were in danger yesterday, you thought of Liam. Today, I might need to trouble you to bring this Liam here."Serena's anxiety grew. "General Ender, I admit that Isaac's death is related to me, but it has nothing to do with Liam. He didn't even answer my calls yesterday. This is all a misunderstanding!"He
Serena understood clearly that with Henry's personality, once he learned about Liam's existence, he would not let Liam go, regardless of whether Liam had anything to do with Isaac's death or not.It was her mistake, and she did not want Liam to bear the consequences. Staying in South City would only become increasingly dangerous for Liam.All Serena could do, besides keeping Liam from coming over, was to ensure he left as quickly as possible before Henry found him. She hoped he would escape to a place where Henry could never find him."Hopefully, you'll listen to me this time. This is all I can do for you," Serena muttered, a complex expression flashing across her eyes.However, as she witnessed the scene unfolding before her, the Lloyd family members were shocked and agitated.Etchen shouted, his face twisted in rage. "Serena, are you insane? If you want to die, go and die on your own accord! Why are you dragging us down with you?"Hailey stood behind them, glaring at Serena. "S
Upon realizing the situation, the members of the Lloyd family immediately fell silent.A cruel smile flashed across Henry's face. "You want to protect that useless Liam, don't you? Let's see how you manage to protect him! Starting now, if that worthless Liam doesn't show up in ten minutes, I'll kill one of you every five minutes! I've said it before. If I can't find the culprit who killed Isaac, I'll make you all pay with your lives!" Henry grinned and added, "Of course, if your entire family dies and Liam still hasn't shown up, it won't matter much anymore."As soon as Henry's words hit their ears, terror washed over the faces of the Lloyd family members lying on the ground. They struggled and screamed in panic."What are you doing, Serena?! Are you really going to let the whole Lloyd family die for that worthless convict?""Serena! Do you really want to kill your parents?""Serena, what are you thinking?"Their faces were full of resentment towards Serena.What was Serena th
