Etchen glanced at the grand setup around them before turning around with a cold sneer. "Did you really think you could fool us into making all these elaborate preparations? Impressive!"Ronald frowned at his son's words. "Etchen, what are you talking about? It's just past noon. Perhaps Mister Ulrick encountered some delays on the way. How can you say he's trying to deceive our family?"Etchen raised his head indignantly and retorted, "Dad, I'm convinced Liam is lying! Not just about Mister Ulrick, but even the details about the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation seem suspicious to me!"Ronald's face grew increasingly stern. "Enough, Etchen! I said Mister Ulrick might be delayed. We should wait a bit longer. If Liam really was lying, would he dare to sit here in our home right now?"Despite Howser's delayed arrival, Ronald could not accept Etchen's accusations. Etchen's eyes widened in anger. "Don't we all know how shameless Liam can be? Our family has suffered so much because of
The servant hurriedly replied, "A Rolls-Royce with seven '1's on the license plate. There's only one in the southern part of the city, and it belongs to Mister Ulrick!"Ronald suddenly stood up, his face full of excitement. "It's really Mister Ulrick!"The entire Lloyd family home was thrown into a commotion. The Lloyd family members hurriedly stood up and began preparing frantically. They were afraid of leaving a bad impression on Howser.Etchen trembled and froze in place as he watched everything unfold. He never expected Howser to visit their family voluntarily. "Impossible! This can't be happening!"However, his strong jealousy made Etchen unwilling to believe any of it. Nobody paid any attention to Etchen at that point.Hailey put on a fawning smile as she approached Liam. "Liam, I knew you had it in you! Isn't it amazing how Mister Ulrick obediently listened to you and visited us? In the future, Etchen and the others might need to rely on you a lot more!"It was hard to ima
However, they were disappointed. The Rolls-Royce had already closed its doors, yet there was still no sign of Howser."Where is Mister Ulrick?"Upon seeing this scene, the members of the Lloyd family could not help but start whispering among themselves.However, only Ronald kept his eyes on the young woman before him. After a brief moment of surprise, he tentatively asked, "Are you… Are you Mister Ulrick's granddaughter, Ida Ulrick?"Although Ronald did not have the status to know Howser personally, he worked in South City for a long time and had heard quite a bit about him. He knew Howser had a granddaughter named Ida."Where is Liam?"Ida did not respond to Ronald's question. Her beautiful face was cold and aloof.Ronald's face lit up with joy when he realized that Ida had acknowledged her identity. Never having met Ida before, he assumed she was naturally aloof.Ronald quickly pointed toward the house. "Are you looking for Liam? Come quickly, Liam is inside!"Following Rona
Etchen looked at Liam with disdain. "Such actions were far more severe than deceiving our family into making unnecessary preparations! A useless fool like you dares to act arrogantly in front of me… Just wait for your downfall!"Although Etchen almost believed in Liam's capabilities when Ronald introduced the situation earlier, he felt triumphant. How could a worthless ex-convict have the qualifications and ability?Hailey, ignoring Etchen, hurriedly looked at Ida and waved her hands repeatedly."Miss Ulrick, please listen to us. We don't really know that useless Liam! It was Liam, that useless fool, who insisted on inviting Mister Ulrick to visit our family!We told him Mister Ulrick was old, and we didn't want to trouble him, but it was Liam who insisted. We had no idea he would dare to deceive even Mister Ulrick. Miss Ulrick, please don't misunderstand. We have nothing to do with that useless Liam!"As Hailey spoke nervously, she glared at Liam with gritted teeth. "You damned f
Serena never anticipated it. Her renewed trust in Liam only led to more pain in the end! His actions were even more outrageous. Not only did he deceive Howser, but he also duped the Lloyd family.Reflecting on the faint hope she once held for Liam, Serena felt like a fool. A fool who, despite being hurt by him once or twice, still failed to realize the truth. She lowered her head and let out a self-mocking smile.At that moment, Serena felt a void in her heart. Despite her inner turmoil, the issue remained unresolved.Ida was furious. "My grandfather is bedridden and immobile. How else could he react? Everything started because you deceived my grandfather into practicing that so-called martial arts!"Preston told me it was you who introduced it to my grandfather that day. Before that, he had been practicing martial arts for decades without any issues. However, after learning your new technique, he gradually lost sensation in his lower body!"She glared fiercely at Liam.Liam fr
As a result, when they spoke, there was no longer any of the caution and politeness they once had. Worried about being implicated by Ida's retaliation, Hailey hurriedly distanced herself from Liam.Looking at Hailey's demeanor, there was no trace of the earlier flattery left.However, Liam could not care less about the ridicule and mockery from the Lloyd family. He furrowed his brows tightly, contemplating what Ida had just said about Howser's condition. The sudden deterioration of Howser's health was not a good sign.The next moment, Liam raised his head and looked seriously at Ida. "I have to check on Howser's condition.""You still dare to see my grandfather?"Ida's eyes widened, and the anger on her face was almost uncontrollable. However, she calmed down abruptly, staring at Liam with a cold smile. "It might be good for you to see him. Once you do, you'll understand just what you've done to him! Even in death, I'll make sure you die with some peace!"With a frosty expression
Ronald sighed deeply as he listened to Etchen's words."Liam is the one who convinced Mister Ulrick to visit. We all know what kind of person he is. We should never have placed any hope in him. It was the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation that clouded our judgment!""Dad! Stop talking about the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation!" Etchen snapped.Ronald let out a bitter laugh. "Now, I even suspect Liam lied about owning the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation. Even though I don't understand why they ended their partnership with the Irving family and chose to collaborate with us instead, I still think it has nothing to do with Liam!"His face was full of sarcasm. "Don't forget. Earlier, Liam claimed that the Warchester family and the Fowler Society's issues were also because of him!"Can't you see? This liar has made lying a habit!"There are indeed some problems!"Nodding in agreement, Ronald continued, "After all, the owner of such a significant foundation couldn't possibly be
Sam glanced at Serena again and shook his head, listening to the surrounding murmurs.Serena's beautiful face grew even paler. She kept her head down and stayed silent.The once cold and proud female CEO appeared as if all her spirit had been drained.Meanwhile, as the Lloyd family members continued to discuss Liam, even pointing fingers at Serena, a different scene was unfolding inside the Rolls-Royce.Ida stared coldly at Liam, who sat opposite her, and yelled at him."I don't know what kind of spell you cast on my grandfather! He's bedridden, yet he insists it's not your fault and is determined to keep this appointment! I'm not like my grandfather. I will never trust a fraud like you! My grandfather is undergoing critical treatment right now. If anything happens to him, I'll make you pay!"Ida had come to the Lloyd family to visit on behalf of Howser. However, due to her own impulsive decisions, the visit had turned into a confrontation.Liam replied calmly, "I told you befor
