Etchen put down his phone, a cold smile playing on his lips as he looked around."What?""The Irving family is going bankrupt?""How did you get this news?"As soon as Etchen spoke, the entire Lloyd family home was thrown into chaos. The Lloyd family members widened their eyes in shock, their faces full of astonishment. They did not see it coming.Ronald lifted his head, a hint of surprise flashing across his face. He hesitated for a moment before speaking."If the Irving family is indeed on the brink of bankruptcy, as you say, it's understandable that the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation canceled their cooperation with them, but is this news reliable?"If this has nothing to do with Liam, why would they choose to collaborate with the Lloyd Group just as Liam suggested?"Etchen scoffed. "Dad! How can this news be fake? I've said all along that this is just a coincidence! After the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation canceled their cooperation with the Irving family, they had t
Upon hearing the news, Hailey's vision darkened, and she trembled violently. "What's going on? What about the Lloyd family's money?"She vividly remembered how Alex deceived them and took a huge sum from the Lloyd family. That was all the liquid capital of the Lloyd Group!When Etchen signed the contract with Alex, Hailey insisted on transferring the funds to Alex immediately."I..."Etchen was momentarily stunned by Hailey's words. He had been so focused on mocking Serena that he had forgotten the most important matter for the Lloyd family.After all, if the Irving family had not gone bankrupt, they might have found ways to recover some of the money. However, it was clear that Alex had ulterior motives when he chose to cooperate with the Lloyd Group.Seeing Etchen's expression, Hailey realized that her son had no solution either. She glared fiercely, gritting her teeth."That damned Alex!"However, she seemed to have forgotten how eager she was when dealing with Alex."What d
Ronald let out a deep sigh and made a decision. "Alright, then. The Lloyd Group is already in such a crisis. Serena will surely understand our decision!" A smile flickered across Hailey's plump face as she waved her hand and said, "What we need to wait for now is to see when the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation will sign the contract with us!"The Lloyd family felt unburdened after learning that the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation had no connection with Liam. They did not even discuss it with Serena before deciding everything!Meanwhile, Liam was completely unaware of what was happening with the Lloyd family. He did not know that a misunderstanding had triggered a series of chain reactions within the Lloyd family home.After hanging up a phone call that went unanswered, Liam shook his head.He had told Serena that he would have Howser visit the Lloyd family in person. Although some unexpected events occurred, Liam still felt that he needed to clarify everything himself.How
Isabela looked at Liam with immense joy. "I heard from some friends that they've already returned all the high-interest loans they borrowed from the Tiger Gang! All of this is thanks to you, Liam!"Nathaniel resolved the matter of the Tiger Gang's high-interest loans following Liam's instructions. Isabela received the news from friends who were also debtors at the time.Without the shadow of debt collectors, Isabela's former timidity gradually disappeared, and a smile returned to her face.Liam smiled faintly, waving his hand. "It's nothing. Let's not talk about the past. I brought some medicinal herbs for Uncle Sunny. After we eat, I'll give him a simple treatment. His health will soon recover!"Isabela's eyes lit up even more at Liam's words. "Really? That's wonderful!"Sunny nervously looked at Liam. "Can my body really return to its former state?"Liam nodded. "There shouldn't be any problem.""Let's eat quickly! After the meal, Liam, please help me as soon as possible!"Su
After finishing Sunny's treatment, the three of them returned to the living room for a casual chat.Suddenly, Isabela seemed to remember something. She looked up at Liam, hesitating to speak."Aunt Isabela, what's on your mind?" Liam asked, noticing Isabela's unusual demeanor.Isabela glanced around the shabby room before she spoke. "Liam, the Tiger Gang returned the high-interest loans we gave them a while back. Given our current living conditions, we considered using that money to get Yanne a better place to live. We're not very knowledgeable about buying property, so we wanted to ask if you could advise us."Liam smiled. "Aunt Isabela, I was just thinking the same thing. Have you had a look at any specific properties?"One of the main reasons Liam had come to visit was to help Isabela's family find a new home. He was wondering how to bring up the topic when Isabela mentioned it herself.Isabela replied tentatively, "I heard there's a development called Vientiane Bay in South C
"I didn't expect property sales halls to be this luxurious nowadays!" exclaimed Isabela as she stepped into the hall, her eyes filled with admiration.Isabela had not been out for a long time, so she was naturally impressed by the grandeur."Aunt Isabela, there are some house models over there. Let's go have a look," suggested Liam, who paid little attention to the hall's decorations.After a quick glance, he walked forward. Soon, they arrived at the sand table model in the center of the sales hall.Isabela was amazed by the detailed and clear model. Her face lit up with excitement as she exclaimed, "This is what the houses in Vientiane Bay look like? They even recreated the neighborhood! No wonder everyone says the houses in Vientiane Bay are great!"Isabela excitedly admired the model and added, "They also say Vientiane Bay has the best school districts in South City. I just wonder how much the houses here cost…"Although the model was detailed, there was no pricing information
After a moment of hesitation, Isabela looked up at Lilly and asked, "If we decide to buy, are there any discounts available?"Lilly scoffed and sneered at Isabela."Discounts? When has there ever been a discount on properties at Vientiane Bay? Let's not even talk about the quality of these homes. Just living in Vientiane Bay gives you access to the best school in South City."Forget about discounts, it's a wonder the prices haven't gone up! This particular unit is the last one left. If you don't buy it, there are plenty of others who will!"Isabela bit her lip, a deep sense of hesitation crossing her face. "The last one left?"With her personality, even if she were satisfied with the house, the 530,000 dollar price tag would make her back off immediately. She was only considering it because of the school district where Vientiane Bay was located.As Lilly had mentioned, buying a house there would ensure that Yanne could attend the best school in South City.Liam glanced at Lilly
As Lilly disappeared into the distance, Isabela let out a long sigh of relief.Despite the significant pressure they faced in purchasing the house, Isabela felt no regret at all. After all, buying a house in Vientiane Bay did not drastically improve just their living environment. More importantly, it ensured that Yanne could attend the best school in South City!Thinking about how her family would finally have a new home, Isabela could not suppress the bright smile on her face.Although Sunny had not said anything, he clearly supported Isabela's decision."At worst, we'll just work a bit harder in the future," he said, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes."Aunt Isabela, you really don't need to worry so much about the house payment—"Since the decision was made, Liam finally felt he could speak up. He was about to share his plans, but Isabela interrupted him again just as he started."We're not worried about it," Isabela said with a smile, shaking her head. "Your Uncle
