"Rest assured, Miss Hill, I will definitely cooperate with you!"Jimmy eagerly nodded, indicating that he would not disclose Julian's matters to anyone.Then, under the escort of the Hill family's servants, Jimmy prepared to return to Asterion. Before leaving, Jimmy stood beside Liam, wanting to say something but hesitating."Grandmaster Burrey, I hope to have the opportunity to see you again in the future!"In the end, Jimmy only said a few words. After slightly bowing to Liam as a sign of respect, he left the Golden Cross Hospital.A servant from the Hill family approached Lucy and asked softly, "Miss, since Mister Hill Senior's health is no longer a major concern, shall we continue to hold the Hill family's annual gathering?"Those who remained by Lucy's side in the hospital were all her trusted aides, so there was no need to worry about any information leaks. The Hill family's annual gathering, which occurred once every five years, was quite important to the Hill family."Th
"None."Liam shook his head. Having just been released from prison, he had nothing worthy of preparation.Lucy grinned and said, "Then, we can set off!" Despite her gentle appearance, her actions were decisive and swift like lightning. After persuading Liam to attend their Hill family's annual gathering—fearing he might regret it—she immediately arranged the subsequent itinerary.Everything was neatly packed in no time.Lucy gestured for Liam to leave with her as she watched Julian being carefully carried down the stairs. "Grandmaster Burrey, let's go. You can get some proper rest if we arrive in the provincial capital earlier."Liam nodded. "Let's go."Amidst the crowd, he left the hospital. After Liam and the others departed, the ninth-floor intensive care unit was unsealed.At the same time, members of the Lloyd family were gathered around the bed in the regular ward, expressing their resentment toward Liam incessantly."Why is there so much noise downstairs?"Serena seem
Upon hearing the news from Serena, the members of the Lloyd family could not help but smile. Ronald was especially excited."It doesn't matter if it's sudden or not. It's not something you should worry about. The Hill family has their reasons for hosting such a grand event. We just need to prepare well and see if we can further strengthen our relationship with them through this annual gathering!"With that ex-convict Liam out of the picture, our family can now conduct ourselves with dignity and integrity in anything we do. Serena, feel free to communicate with the Hill family," urged Ronald, gesturing for Serena to leave. "Alright, you don't need to continue taking care of your mother. Go back and prepare quickly. Since the Hill family is in the provincial capital, take Layla with you tomorrow. You don't need to worry about anything here.""Yes! Serena, hurry back and prepare!""The Hill family has always viewed the Lloyd family with special regard. When you attend their annual
Although Layla saw Hailey and Etchen's condition in the hospital room, she still could not believe that such a gentle and kind-hearted brother-in-law like hers could be capable of such actions.While checking on Liam, Layla wanted to ask him what had happened exactly. However, it seemed that Ronald did not give her the chance."Hurry up and follow me!" Ronald reprimanded Layla with a frown, then turned and left.Layla sighed and obediently followed Ronald.Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, the next day arrived.Ronald, Sam, and Felix dressed up and headed to the provincial capital early in the morning. After dropping Layla off at school, the trio drove to the Hill family's annual gathering venue.The Spring Garden boasted beautiful scenery and a tranquil environment. It had the richest historical heritage in the province of Qyn. Various buildings in different styles were scattered throughout the garden, adding to its charm. After being developed for public enjoyment,
Though they had not seen each other for four years, the three members of the Lloyd family were very familiar with the figure ahead. Not to mention, that very figure ahead had injured both Hailey and Etchen!Sam frowned as he stared at the entrance of the Everluster Pavilion. "It's him, isn't it? Is that Liam Burrey?"Ronald scowled. "He's the ex-convict! That worthless scum just got out of prison after injuring Etchen and Hailey, and he still dares to come to the provincial capital!"With just one glance, they recognized the figure at the door as Liam."Dad, Uncle Ronald, wait here."A glint of fierceness flashed in Felix's eyes. He rolled up his sleeves, poised to charge forward. "Let me teach this scumbag who dared to harm the Lloyd family and still dares to show up here!"If Liam came to the Spring Garden, there was only one reason—to taunt the Lloyd family after harming them. He was seeking death!Ronald quickly stopped Felix. "Felix, don't act rashly! We're here to attend t
After receiving affirmation from Liam, the security guard's body visibly trembled."Grandmaster Burrey, please wait!" he said with sincere trepidation, displaying utmost respect by bowing repeatedly as he spoke.Once he finished addressing Liam, he hastily picked up the walkie-talkie. Liam was momentarily puzzled, unsure of what was happening.When the security guard lifted the walkie-talkie, the three members of the Lloyd family could not help but sneer when they saw Liam still standing at the entrance.Ronald mocked, "I bet being in prison made this fool lose his mind! He's simply brainless! Didn't you see security taking out the walkie-talkie? He's still so stubborn. Does he think the Hill family's security guards are just for show?"Sam sneered, "If he had any brains, he would've come out of prison and buttered us up nicely and served us well. Who knows, we might even reward him with a meal. A normal person wouldn't dare lay a hand on Hailey and them, but it's fine this way to
Even without knowing about the presence of the Hill family's top brass, the three members of the Lloyd family were utterly dumbfounded.The scene before them completely exceeded their expectations. It especially affected Ronald. He even felt like he had not fully woken up yet!Sam was even more dumbfounded.The Hill family was a force to be reckoned with. As the leading family in the Qyn Province, they wielded immense power and influence, commanding respect throughout the region. The Lloyd family had always depended on the Hill family. However, they saw Liam being welcomed by the Hill family in such a grand manner. What on earth was going on?While others might not know Liam’s background, the Lloyd family certainly did. He was a nobody! Liam was also a recently released convict. How could he possibly deserve such treatment from the Hill family?"This is simply impossible…" Felix muttered, his eyes glazed over and his voice hoarse. The scene before him was completely differen
For Liam, the commotion at the door a moment ago was entirely unexpected. He was even less aware that three members of the Lloyd family were furiously looking for him.The Everluster Pavilion's soundproofing was excellent, and the entrance was some distance away, so the guests who had already entered did not notice the disturbance outside.When Liam stepped into the Everluster Pavilion, only a few people noticed him.Liam was quite content with that. He casually found a spot to stand and began to observe his surroundings.He had to admit that the Hill family’s choice of the Everluster Pavilion as the venue for their annual gathering was undoubtedly appropriate.The decor was grand and majestic. With carved beams, jade pillars, red lacquered columns, and intricate engravings, every detail exuded luxury.Most guests attending the Hill family’s annual gathering were in the spacious hall. They were dressed in splendid attire, holding wine glasses, making toasts and chatting with burs
