Casey stepped up beside Kris, his square face radiating authority. "What's going on here?"Kris lifted his head and spoke sternly, "Mister Upton, someone tried to rob our bank! When their plan was exposed, they attempted to flee. I was injured while trying to stop them, but we've already apprehended the culprits!"Kris smirked as he continued, "I have strong suspicions that these people from the Lloyd Group are accomplices!"Right from the start, Kris pinned a serious crime on Liam and even implicated the Lloyd family.Serena's eyes widened in shock at the accusation. She finally understood the real reason why Kris had asked them to wait.If they were indeed linked to the bank robbery, the consequences would be dire, not just for them but for the Lloyd Group's stock price, which would plummet instantly. The repercussions would be unimaginable.Casey’s eyes flashed with anger upon hearing Kris. He pointed at Hailey and the others and ordered, "Is that so? Take them away!"Hailey'
"Are we not taking them back to the police station?"Casey froze for a moment. He could not believe what he was hearing.How could Alex say such a thing? Was he supposed to show Alex some respect? Who did Alex think he was?Did Alex think he could speak so casually just because they had a meal together once?"Who do you think you are?" Casey scoffed, lifting his head.Suddenly, his pupils contracted as he froze in place.When he entered the bank earlier, Casey’s attention had been focused on Kris. Later, Alex had caught his attention.As a result, he did not closely observe the situation inside the bank. However, when he looked up, he saw an incredibly familiar figure. Although he had only seen him in surveillance footage, he could never forget that face. The reason the South City Police Station was once surrounded by the military, nearly leading to a huge disaster, was because of the man standing in front of him.Staring at Liam, Casey trembled uncontrollably. "Grandmaster…"
"Mister Upton, it's fine." Although Alex could not understand it, he could clearly see through Casey's attitude.Alex continued speaking pridefully. "After all, Mister Chansey was injured quite severely. It's understandable that he would be upset..."However, while Alex kept talking, Casey's mind was blank. He did not hear a single word. The moment he saw Kris pointing at Liam, Casey wanted to kill Kris. A mere branch manager of South City Bank dared to point at the legendary Grandmaster Burrey! Was he courting death?After the military and Liam left the police station that day, Casey tried to look into Liam's identity, but his information was classified. Casey did not know who Liam really was up until that moment. However, one thing was abundantly clear to him.They could not afford to offend Liam.While Casey was trembling with fear, Hailey stood behind him, her eyes wide open.They knew the Irving family's power was formidable, but they had not expected Alex to wield such
Alex's face showed a hint of confusion as he looked at Casey. He thought Casey was under the weather."Mister Upton, are you feeling unwell? If you're tired, you should go back and rest. I can handle the remaining matters."Alex smiled as he added, "It was troublesome for you to come all this way!"Casey finally reacted after hearing Alex's words. He hesitated momentarily before lifting his head to glance at Liam."If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."Liam had remained unresponsive, so naturally, Casey did not dare to make any rash moves."Dismiss!" Casey waved to the nearby officers and turned to leave.Seeing Casey preparing to depart, Hailey and Ronald breathed a sigh of relief. However, Liam's voice suddenly rang out. "Are you just going to leave like that?"Upon hearing this, Casey's body trembled, and he abruptly stopped as he turned back to look at Liam."What… What did you say?" Liam frowned as he pointed at Kris on the ground. "No one is robbing a bank, s
The moment this scene unfolded, the entire bank manager's office was engulfed in a dead silence."Mister Upton…"Even Kris was frozen in place. He could not even feel the sting of Casey's slap on his face.It felt like a dream.Kris never imagined that Casey would ever treat him this way. Not only did he slap him, but he also intended to take him to the police station for investigation!However, that slap abruptly woke him up. Kris realized that his initial thoughts could be wrong.Given the Irving family's power, no matter how much they grew or how exceptional they became, as long as they remained in South City, Casey could not possibly be so afraid of the Irving family to this extent.That meant that from the very beginning, Casey's fear and his decision to slap Alex before taking him away for an investigation had nothing to do with the Irving family. If it had nothing to do with the Irving family…Kris seemed to have realized something. He suddenly looked up, his eyes fill
"How ridiculous!"After hearing Liam's words, Alex also revealed a disdainful smile. However, only Serena seemed momentarily dazed by the situation unfolding before her.She had initially believed that the circumstances were entirely due to Alex's efforts. However, after that recent scene, a seed of doubt began to sprout in her mind. She could not shake the feeling that Casey's eyes had been nervously fixed on Liam the entire time.Moreover, if she had heard correctly, it seemed like Casey had addressed Liam respectfully using a formal honorific. It was only after Liam had spoken that Casey reacted.All of that made Serena feel an unusual sense of unease. Coupled with the events that had transpired at the Harmony Hub, her mind was filled with questions. Could it be that Liam's identity was far beyond what she had ever imagined?However, Serena shook her head. It was already unbelievable enough that Liam knew Howser. If he could also intimidate Casey to such an extent, what kin
Serena did not expect the turn of events. The project team had found a partner so quickly!Despite the challenges of the day, it was clear that the South City Bank's plots of medicinal land were out of reach. However, she did not lose heart. Serena was determined to find other ways to move forward. Hailey's words struck her like a bolt of lightning, leaving her frozen in place. The project team had found a partner. It meant that all her previous efforts were completely in vain!Serena asked bitterly, "Which company did the project team choose to collaborate with?"Hailey grinned. "Of course, it's Mister Irving's family! Only a talented young man like him could land such a big project right after returning to the country!"Serena was taken aback by Hailey's words. "Mister Irving? Is that why you both came to the bank with him?" Hailey glanced at Serena and said, "I'm telling you, Mister Irving is very generous. Even though he secured this pharmaceutical project, he still cho
Hailey sternly said, "Let me warn you. Don't let your personal interests ruin the Lloyd Group's benefits. We've already transferred the initial one billion dollars in cooperation funds to Mister Irving!"Serena lowered her head, a hint of disappointment flashing across her face. "It's not like that..."For her, it did not matter whether a new independent company could be established or not. Serena just wanted the best for the Lloyd family.However, since the cooperation funds had been paid, it was pointless to say anything more. Serena could only hope that things would really turn out as Hailey and the others said.Suddenly, Alex's voice rang out. "Actually, it's understandable that Serena has such concerns."He had a faint smile on his face, exuding a gentlemanly demeanor. "After all, I just returned to the country, and Serena isn't very familiar with our situation, but there's no need to worry. When our cooperation officially begins, Serena will see the sincerity of the Irving f
