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
"There's no need for that."Liam hastily waved his hand upon hearing Lucy's words. He did not want to make a big fuss about it."Alright then."Lucy nodded with disappointment. Though Liam felt it was not a big deal, she still felt like she had slighted Grandmaster Burrey.Lucy lifted her head and asked, "Grandmaster Burrey, do you want anything else to eat? The chef can make anything you'd like. You don't need to worry about the annual gathering. We can postpone it anytime. You must eat well!"Liam glanced at the leftovers on the table, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "I've already eaten. You don't have to go through so much trouble."Lucy smiled faintly. "Then, we can start the annual gathering."The reason why the Hill family's annual gathering had not started yet was because of Liam! She turned to Liam and said, "Let's go."Liam was puzzled, not understanding Lucy's intention. "Where to?"Lucy laughed. "To the front to sit at the main stage and attend the annual gathering,
Tobias looked at Ronald seriously. "Let's first listen carefully to what the Hill family talks about at the annual gathering. These gatherings have always been straightforward, without much formality. The first topic they discuss is usually the most important, concerning future development..."Tobias knew it was the Lloyd family's first time attending the Hill family annual gathering, so he introduced it to them. Tobias had initially wanted to take the opportunity to show off in front of the Lloyd family, especially since the Corona family was mentioned at the beginning of the last Hill family annual gathering. Consequently, over the past five years, the Corona family received numerous cooperation projects from the Hill family. Since the Hill family had inexplicably supported and taken care of the Lloyd family all along, Tobias felt it was highly likely that the Lloyd family would be mentioned at the latest annual gathering! After all, the extent of care given to the Lloyd famil
"Of course! They even allocated a billion dollars for it annually. That's quite a hefty investment!""Did something happen?"All the guests were astonished. They had not anticipated that the first item on the agenda at the annual gathering would be the establishment of a charity foundation by the Hill family!The guests could not comprehend it. Why was that matter being given such significance at the annual gathering? Nevertheless, despite their confusion, they enthusiastically raised their hands once they regained their composure."Having someone so esteemed by the Hill family! Though we may not have had the honor of meeting him, Miss Hill, since you've spoken so passionately about it, we'll surely lend our support. Ocean Heavy Industries will donate ten million dollars to this charitable foundation!""Haha! Doing good deeds is always commendable. The Sun Group will contribute twenty million dollars!""A billion dollars! Miss Hill, your family is truly generous. Fortune Pharma
