Lucy sensed the sudden shift in Liam's emotions as she looked up at him. At that moment, she suddenly felt that the omnipotent Liam seemed a bit melancholic."Grandmaster Burrey? What's wrong?"However, Liam quickly adjusted his emotions and looked down at Lucy. "Nothing. I just think the name you chose is exceptionally beautiful."Lucy shook her head, a charming smile appearing on her face. "It's a good thing you were here this time, Grandmaster Burrey."She looked up at Liam, her eyes like autumn waters, and added seriously, "If it weren't for you, we really wouldn't have known what to do!"Liam smiled. "It's nothing. After all, the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation is a project we established together.""Together?" Lucy murmured.She had already decided to make the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, which she and Liam established, the best foundation in the world!However, Lucy did not reveal her inner thoughts.She looked up at Liam and smiled. "Liam, the matter has been
The secretary gave Serena a once-over and asked, "You're looking for Mister Lloyd? Do you have an appointment?"Serena grew slightly annoyed. "I'm Serena Lloyd! Do I need an appointment to see Etchen?"The secretary scowled in disdain. "No matter who you are, you need an appointment to see Mister Lloyd. Besides, Mister Lloyd is out for a meeting and hasn't returned yet."Serena was momentarily taken aback. "Out for a meeting and hasn't returned? What kind of meeting begins so early in the morning?"The secretary rolled her eyes even more exaggeratedly. "How would I know?"Serena's eyes flashed with a trace of anger. However, she knew it was not the time to argue with the secretary.Ignoring the secretary blocking the door, she turned around, took out her phone, and dialed Etchen's number.As soon as the call connected, Etchen's arrogant voice came through. "Serena! Calling me so early, what's wrong with you? Don't bother me if there's nothing important! I'm very busy!"Serena t
"Etchen isn’t here?"When he heard the receptionist's words, the leading man frowned deeply. Their agreed meeting time was ten past three in the afternoon. It was already three, and Etchen was still not there. Could he make it back in ten minutes? Regardless of whether Etchen could make it back or not, his attitude already showed a lack of seriousness toward the project.The pharmaceutical project covered a wide scope. It was no exaggeration that securing cooperation on the project would guarantee any company's future development. Numerous companies were vying for the opportunity to collaborate. The Lloyd Group was prioritized because of Serena's diligent efforts and meticulous preparation. However, Etchen's behavior filled the project leader with dissatisfaction."Let's wait a bit longer."The meeting time had not yet arrived, and the man could not say much. He turned to the other members of the project team, frowning as he spoke.Time passed quickly, and soon, it was alrea
Upon hearing Serena's words, the Lloyd family members suddenly widened their eyes."What did you say?"They did not take Serena's words seriously at first. Otherwise, they would have mentioned it at the dinner table. However, they did not expect that what Serena mentioned was actually that big project!The next moment, they all turned to look at Etchen with excitement written all over their faces."Etchen! Tell us quickly! How did the discussion about the project go?" "Has it been confirmed?" If they remembered correctly, when Serena introduced the relevant situation, she clearly said that the project was almost ready."I…"Etchen was suddenly at a loss. He opened his mouth, but could not say a word for a long time.Ronald immediately frowned. "What’s going on? Why aren't you speaking?" Etchen had no choice but to lower his head and whisper, "I… I didn't get to meet the project team members who came to the company to discuss the cooperation. I was too busy today. I almost
Etchen looked at Ronald, feeling very aggrieved. "Dad! Serena never explained the situation clearly! She didn't even tell me the name of the company we're supposed to cooperate with! I just found out right now! I think Serena did this on purpose!"As he spoke, Etchen turned to glare at Serena. "She just wants me to make a mistake on this project so she can go back to being the CEO of the Lloyd Group!""How could you..."Listening to Etchen's words, Serena's face turned red with anger. Her chest heaved up and down rapidly, but she was so angry that she could not even speak.Serena could not understand how Etchen could say such things.Back then, she wanted to explain the situation to the Lloyd family members in detail, but no one wanted to listen. When she tried to outline the details of the cooperating company, Etchen interrupted her.How could all of it be blamed on her?At that moment, Hailey's voice suddenly rang out as she looked at Serena suspiciously."I think so too! She
Hailey glared at Ronald. "Didn't he already say so? It wasn't intentional!"Sam could not say much, feeling extremely anxious. "No way, we can't give up on such a big project! Think of something quickly! If we can secure this project, the Lloyd Group can have new developments!"When Serena told them a while ago, no one in the Lloyd family cared. However, they all became worried then.Ronald felt utterly powerless, his face bitter. "The project party already said they wouldn't consider our Lloyd Group. What can we do?"Hailey's voice suddenly rang out sharply as she raised her eyebrows and looked at Serena. "How can there be no way? Didn't Serena say before that she had almost finalized the project? She must be familiar with the project party, so let her solve it! Besides, this failure is all because of Serena. She must take responsibility!"Serena's eyes widened. "How can I solve it?"She had worked so hard to secure the opportunity for the Lloyd Group, but Etchen did not seize t
Hailey glanced at Serena with disdain. "Ever since that worthless ex-convict got out of prison, just look at you. You don't take our family's matters seriously, and now such a big problem has arisen. Whenever I ask you to do something, you keep making excuses! My good mood is completely ruined now!"She threw cutlery in anger. "What's the point of eating? I don't feel like eating anymore!"With that, Hailey left the dining table.It was not just Hailey. Filled with disdain, other members of the Lloyd family also glanced at Serena before getting up."You'd better get this project back on track!"The Lloyd Group had just lost a billion-dollar project. They had no appetite to continue eating.Not a single person thought it was Etchen's fault. They blamed everything on Serena.The once lively dining table was left with only Serena in no time."How could this happen?"Serena's body trembled slightly. She could not understand how things had come to that.She had made every effort,
Even though she knew the outcome, Serena could not help but sigh after hearing Harvey's response. She could sense Harvey's anger over the phone. Serena had no idea what Etchen had done to infuriate him so much, but pondering about it was pointless.After hanging up the phone, Serena furrowed her brows in deep thought. She did not want to give up. Apart from her persistent efforts, the project collaboration team considered the Lloyd Group because they owned a medicinal herb field.Suddenly, a thought struck her, and her eyes lit up. If she remembered correctly, several companies had mortgaged their herb fields to the bank when the medicinal herb business was not doing well a few years ago. Due to the industry's downturn, the bank held several auctions but could not sell those fields. If she could buy those herb fields and expand production, it could give her a chance to renegotiate with the project team.Serena decisively left the Hill family and headed to the bank without hesita
At that time, Sophia understood the situation.The divorce was proposed by Serena, seemingly because she found Liam lazy and useless. Eventually, the two of them divorced.At first, in Sophia's understanding, perhaps Liam was indeed somewhat lazy. After all, compared to Serena, the gap between them was significant.If he could not bridge that gap through his own efforts, problems were bound to arise between them sooner or later.This was also why Sophia had always tried to persuade Liam to cherish Serena.But after everything that happened today, Sophia could no longer accept it!Liam, useless?She could not fathom how Serena could say such a thing!She had to confront Serena and get to the bottom of it."Aunt Heller, it's all in the past now," Liam said, shaking his head."What's done is done. Why bother asking about things that don't matter anymore?"In fact, when he first divorced Serena, there was a moment when he, like Sophia, couldn't make sense of it. But with time, L
The sound of Nathaniel echoed continuously through the streets.Recently, Nathaniel and Chester, in partnership, had been expanding their power towards the three northwestern provinces.They had become somewhat lax in their control of South City.This was the reason for the current situation.But now, Nathaniel had made up his mind—similar things would never be allowed to happen again!"Yes!"For a moment, the response from the group of men in black ahead shot into the sky."What are they doing..."A voice suddenly came from behind, causing Sophia to jump. She quickly looked back."It's nothing, Aunt Sophia."Seeing this, Liam smiled faintly. "They're busy with their own things; we're busy with ours.""Alright..."Upon hearing this, Sophia reluctantly turned her head back."You know, the president of the Fowler Society is actually quite a good person..."she muttered, as if wanting to say something.But just at that moment, Sophia's body trembled. She suddenly realized so
"Grandmaster Burrey, I understand."Upon hearing this, a cold gleam suddenly flashed in Nathaniel's eyes. "This will never happen again!"This incident was not just infuriating for Liam, but Nathaniel himself also felt utterly embarrassed!In the heart of the Fowler Society's stronghold in South City, someone dared to impersonate a member of the Fowler Society. This act itself showed a complete disregard for him.No matter what had caused this situation, he could never allow something like this to happen again."Do as you see fit," Liam said, glancing at Nathaniel indifferently. He then turned to Sophia and smiled. "Aunt Sophia, let Nathaniel handle things here at your shop. I'll go with you to the market and have a word with the management."He had not forgotten about the time when Sophia wanted to set up a stall in the market but was rejected by the management."No, no need!" Sophia waved her hands repeatedly.After everything that had happened today, she truly felt guilty ab
Even Sophia could not see the end of that black car!And beside each car stood nearly ten thousand men dressed in black suits.They said nothing, their faces cold, their imposing presence radiating an air of ruthlessness that reached the sky!At that moment, Nathaniel received a message from Liam.He did not know what exactly was happening at the scene, but Liam's tone made him extremely anxious!Nathaniel also did not understand how someone from the Fowler Society could dare to provoke Grandmaster Burrey!Immediately, he brought members from the Fowler Society in South City to the scene!However, concerned that bringing too many people might complicate the situation, Nathaniel had most of his subordinates wait outside on the street!"Please, I beg you!""Yeah! Please, spare us!""It's our fault, we were so bold and ignorant, rashly using the Fowler Society's name!""I'll kneel and apologize to you! Really, please, spare me!"...On the other side, the cries of Leopard and
If all of this is really true, doesn't that mean this man is really the president of the Fowler Society?Sophia's mind was a mess.At that moment…"Aunt Sophia, let's head back first."Liam's voice sounded. He looked at Sophia and gave a faint smile. "You don't need to worry about the rest. From now on, no one will bother you again.""When we come back, I think your shop should be restored to its original state."As he spoke, Liam turned and glanced at Nathaniel beside them."Y-Yes…"Upon hearing this, Nathaniel's body trembled, and he quickly lowered his head again.He understood the implied meaning in Liam's words.However, Sophia, who was still in shock and confusion, didn't register Liam's words at all."We have to leave quickly!"She nodded urgently. "If the police show up later, we'll be in big trouble!"Sophia was still uneasy about the current situation."Ha…"Hearing this, Liam could not help but laugh.Sophia's reaction was rather cute, but he knew well that for
"Hahaha…"Upon hearing this, Liam paused, then let out a helpless laugh. "He's the president of the Fowler Society, Nathaniel, the one you mentioned.""What?"Sophia was suddenly stunned.She widened her eyes and stared fixedly at Nathaniel, her gaze filled with suspicion. "He can be the president of the Fowler Society? Liam, don't lie to me!""I'm not lying to you…"Liam chuckled bitterly and shook his head.He turned to look at Nathaniel and sighed softly. "Did you see that? Lately, you've really been disappointing me.""Grandmaster Burrey!"Hearing this, Nathaniel trembled violently. A look of extreme fear flashed in his eyes. "I'm truly sorry! The issue with someone daring to impersonate a Fowler Society member, it's my fault!"Rest assured, from now on, I'll never let something like this happen again!"He suddenly turned around, his gaze fixed on the group of people lying on the ground ahead, including Mister Leonidas, wishing he could tear them apart with his bare hand
"What's the relationship between Bluebird and Serena?"Upon hearing Sophia's words, Liam froze for a moment, a look of confusion flashing across his eyes."I…"At the mention, Sophia froze even more abruptly.Right now, she could confirm that the current situation didn't seem to have anything to do with Serena.But the next moment, Sophia looked ahead, at the desolate scene, her body shuddered, and she suddenly snapped back to reality."Liam, listen to me, let's leave quickly!"She raised her head to look at Liam, her voice slightly tense as she spoke, "I know now how capable you are, but listen to me, we'd better leave first!"They're from the Fowler Society, and the forces behind them are far from simple. We really can't afford to mess with them. When I called the police back then, no one cared!"Sophia's face showed panic. "You've hurt so many of them, the Fowler Society won't just let this go!""I…"Upon hearing this, Liam paused.And at that moment..."Grandmaster Bur
A graceful figure suddenly appeared before him.Then, in the next instant, a piercing cold gleam suddenly erupted!Clang!The steel rod in Mister Leonidas's hand dropped to the ground with a crisp sound.He froze for a moment, looking down in confusion.Then, Mister Leonidas saw his own bare arm!In the next moment, he let out a horrific, agonizing scream!It was not just him.Ahh—!Behind him, all the men who had been holding rods and preparing to chase after Liam and Sophia trembled, letting out wails of unbearable pain!Because just at that moment, the palms holding their rods had been sliced off by a single slash!Bluebird stood nearby, holding a dagger, her expression indifferent, her eyes devoid of any emotion.It was a rare honor for Mister Leonidas and his men to provoke a martial arts Ascendant into action!"Quick... run..."Sophia's words were frozen in midair.She stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what she was seeing, her face filled with shock.Sophia had
"What do you think you are!"Hearing Liam's voice, the man known as Mister Leonidas turned his head, his eyes flashing with a cold gleam as he looked at Liam. "Do you think you have a say here?""Liam…"A trace of anxiety flashed across Sophia's face. She tugged at Liam's sleeve, signaling for him to stay quiet.When she saw Mister Leonidas and the others appear earlier, Sophia had been worried that Liam, being impulsive, might do something reckless!After all, young people sometimes can't control their tempers, and that's normal.She recalled how, when Mister Leonidas and his gang first demanded protection money, she had absolutely refused to pay!In the end, this had led to the current tragic situation.Sophia did not want Liam to be dragged into all this trouble."No wonder you dared to come back," Mister Leonidas sneered as he looked at the scene before him. "So you brought some backup!""But…" He looked Liam up and down, then mockingly spoke, "This so-called backup of yo
