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
"Where?"Ronald and his two companions immediately looked in the direction Tobias was pointing.Tobias pointed to the dining area of the hall.Typically, few guests would go to the dining area before the gathering started, so the Lloyd family members had not paid much attention to that spot earlier.Upon further inspection, they could vaguely see a figure sitting in the corner of the dining area, head down, busily eating the exquisite food on the table.Tobias looked at Liam with a hint of disdain. "I can't really see what he's wearing, but I think the only person who would do something like this at the Hill family's annual gathering must be that ex-convict!"Ronald confirmed the figure's identity and instantly became furious. "It's him!" Does he even deserve to sit here and eat?"Without another word, Ronald stormed toward Liam.At that moment, Liam was eating heartily and had no idea someone was coming toward him. He had not paid attention to anything else at the gathering, b
"If you cause trouble, it's the Lloyd family who will suffer! Get out of here immediately! Don't make me say it a second time!""What nonsense are you spouting?!" Liam shouted, a surge of anger rushing through him.What did they mean by saying they were blind to let their daughter marry him? What did they mean by the Lloyd family bringing him in?Liam had just been released from prison, and the Lloyd family despised him as a convict, forcing Serena to divorce him.He was then invited to attend the Hill family's annual gathering and happened to run into the Lloyd family members, who thought he would drag them down.Liam could no longer endure it. He lifted his head, his eyes blazing with anger."Who do you think you are?""How dare you speak to us like that?" Upon hearing this, Sam's face flashed with a cold expression. Tobias interrupted in a mocking tone, "I've heard Serena mention you. I didn't realize your tone was so grand! How could a useless person like you dare to speak
As the scene unfolded, a sudden shock gripped Ronald's heart, flooding him with a thick sense of panic. Lucy headed to none other than where Liam was located."Miss Hill, please don't worry. There seems to be a misunderstanding here. This man snuck into the annual gathering himself. Although he has some connection with the Lloyd family in the past, it has long been severed. We just wanted to kindly help you get rid of him quickly..."Ronald quickened his pace, hastily following Lucy, intending to explain.Lucy's furious and hurried stride toward Liam confirmed that she had recognized him as not being an invited guest at the annual gathering.Lucy must have been familiar with all the guests invited by the Hill family, but a man in cheap attire was sitting in the dining area, indulging himself continuously. How could Lucy not be angry?It was not just Ronald. Tobias hurriedly followed suit."Miss Hill, please listen to me..."He tried to sound casual, as if he had something to say
