Hearing Liam's sudden voice, Hailey could not help but respond sarcastically."Liam, what are you pretending to do? You've been married to Serena for so long, but you've never helped her family. After the divorce, you keep causing trouble every day. Do you even have the nerve to speak?"However, despite Hailey's mockery, Liam paid no attention to it."The project you mentioned wanting to collaborate on… Is it really that important?" Liam asked, looking at Serena.Serena sighed. "It's very important, but we missed the project because of some initial issues. To make up for it, my dad is preparing to let me start a new company to handle the related matters."If we can secure this project, it would be a significant boost for the entire Lloyd Group."Serena did not think Liam could be of any help. Given her complicated feelings, she just felt the need to confide in someone."Is it important to you as well?" Liam asked, not particularly concerned about the Lloyd Group.Serena smiled
Liam replied calmly, "The Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation is mine."At the moment his words fell, the hall suddenly fell silent.Suddenly, Alex could not hold back and let out a harsh laughter. At that point, he didn't even feel a hint of anger.After all, with his status, how could he possibly bother arguing with a fool?Serena's eyes widened in disbelief. "Liam, are you done?"Liam's actions had completely shattered the sense of gratitude Serena felt in her heart.Behind her, Hailey's face was full of disgust. She stepped forward, grabbed Serena's arm, and prepared to leave. "Enough! Why stay here any longer? Let's go!"Staying there any longer would only make Hailey feel more humiliated.Alex glanced at Liam with a sneer before following Hailey out of the bank. "You should get your head checked."As Hailey dragged her away, Serena turned her head back to look at Liam, her eyes filled with complexity.She truly did not understand what was going on with him.Watching the
Listening to Hailey's words, Serena sighed and nodded before looking at Alex and said, "Yes. This time, we really owe it to you, Mister Irving."Alex smiled faintly. "It's nothing. After all, we still have to work on projects together. Helping you is essentially helping myself."Hailey grew increasingly pleased with Alex the more she looked at him. She exclaimed warmly, "Look at him. Just look at how eloquent Mister Irving is! In our future collaborations, Mister Irving, you must guide Serena more. I feel that she's been off her game lately!"Even Ronald could not help but snort coldly. "Always hanging out with that useless ex-con. What good can come of it?""Don't worry. I will," Alex said, turning to Serena with a smile.However, faced with the situation, Serena lowered her head and did not respond much.Alex asked Hailey, "Is there anything else we need to do? If not, I'll head back now."He had just received a large fund transfer from the Lloyd family and needed to handle it
"What's the big deal about it?" Etchen asked, his head held high, exuding an air of humility.However, his eyes betrayed a proud arrogance that was impossible to hide.Immediately after, Etchen glanced at Serena, letting out a mocking laugh. "I used to think managing the Lloyd Group was extremely difficult, but now, I see it's nothing special.""I..."Serena was taken aback by Etchen's clearly targeted comment. She lowered her head, looking somewhat dejected.Charice chuckled, waving her hand dismissively. "Etchen, listen to yourself! Managing a large corporation is never easy. If you find it simple, it's probably because you have a natural talent for it!"Another voice chimed in. "I agree! We should've appointed Etchen as the CEO of Lloyd Group much earlier!""That's right. Etchen has more capability and vision!"A chorus of agreeing voices echoed around the room. Observing the scene, a look of smug satisfaction flashed across Etchen's face."Etchen, I'm also curious," Hailey
Upon hearing his phone ring, Etchen's brow furrowed deeply. He barked into the receiver in annoyance."Why are you calling me now?! Don't you know I'm busy?" However, before Etchen could finish his tirade, the words on the other end of the line struck him like a lightning bolt, leaving him stunned and frozen.The members of the Lloyd family, who had been jovial just moments before, noticed his sudden change and began to inquire anxiously."Etchen, what happened?"Hailey was confused. "Yes, Etchen, what's going on? Can't it wait a bit? Don't you see we're all here celebrating you?"Etchen's expression grew even more rigid as he listened to the voices around him.He swallowed hard, his eyes glazed over. "The Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation has announced they're canceling their partnership with the Irving family."The Lloyd family fell into an eerie silence. They stared in disbelief, unable to process the shocking news."What?""This... This can't be happening!"Everyone kn
Whenever Alex was mentioned, Hailey could not help but think of the worthless Liam. A look of disgust flashed across her face.At that moment, Serena's voice suddenly rang out. "Mom... Dad..."Serena frowned as she held the contract signed between the Irving family and the Lloyd Group. "This contract... Something seems off!"When Serena returned a while ago, she noticed the contract on the table. Due to the smooth cooperation, she did not pay much attention to it.When Ronald mentioned signing the contract, Serena casually opened it. However, as soon as she saw the first item, she noticed the problem!Hearing Serena's words, Hailey frowned and walked over impatiently. "Off? How could anything be wrong with the contract signed with Mister Irving?"Serena pointed at the contract, a look of tension flashing across her delicate face."This contract clearly states that if any issues arise with the project, the Irving family will not bear any responsibility, and the Lloyd family's coo
Liam's calm words in the bank hall suddenly resurfaced in their minds.No one initially took Liam's words seriously. If they had, they would have immediately thought of him when they first heard that the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation had canceled its cooperation with the Irving family.However, reminded by Ronald, they suddenly made the connection.The cooperation between the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation and the Irving family had always been smooth. If there was an unexpected reason for the sudden change, the only situation they could recall was the words Liam had spoken back then.Noticing the unusual expressions on Ronald and Hailey's faces, Sam could not help but ask urgently, "What's going on? If you have any clues, speak up quickly! If we act fast, we might still have time to help the Irving family."He seemed quite anxious.Ronald frowned. "It's not exactly a clue, but when we went to the South City Bank to make a transfer, we happened to run into Liam."Sam rai
Upon hearing Ronald's words, Sam could not help but shake his head.Sam turned to look at Serena and said, "How pitiful! A wretch who spouts nonsense for a shred of dignity is truly the most pathetic!"Hailey chimed in, her face full of disdain as she spoke about Liam. "I feel the same way. Just thinking of that worthless man who was once my son-in-law embarrasses me!""Mom..."Listening to Hailey, Serena opened her mouth but could not say anything. She, too, had been filled with surprise.After all, the timing of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's cancellation of its collaboration with the Irving family was indeed too coincidental. However, after hearing the Lloyd family's comments, Serena dismissed her initial thoughts.Establishing such a significant charity foundation was not something that could be accomplished merely through connections. Even if Liam knew Howser, he would not have the qualifications to establish a charity foundation. Despite that, Serena disagreed w
