Hailey's eyebrows shot up instantly. "Where do you think you're going? Haven't you embarrassed us enough? It's already clear that the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation likely doesn't want to work with us!"Holding her still red and stinging face, she angrily continued, "We'll wait for further notice! We couldn't even handle things with Etchen. Do you think you can do it?"Serena opened her mouth to speak. "But—"Ronald sighed softly and shook his head. "That's enough, Serena. You weren't there today, so you don't understand the situation. Given the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's attitude, who went wouldn't matter. There's no way they'd succeed. We've already been turned away once, so don't go looking for more trouble."Serena raised her head with a determined expression. "If we don't try again, then there truly is no hope!"She understood, more than anyone, how important the collaboration with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation was for the Lloyd Group.Although she was
She did not know that Serena's interest in the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation was solely because the project was crucial for the Lloyd Group. It had nothing to do with her personally.As Serena hurried to the sales office at Vientiane Bay, Liam had already returned to the Hush Purple Gardens.However, before he could approach his villa's entrance, Liam noticed that numerous military vehicles were parked densely at the gate. The vehicles blocked the road outside the villa completely. Around the military vehicles stood nearly a thousand soldiers in full uniform, armed with live ammunition.Liam frowned slightly and walked over.Gabriel, who stood at the forefront of the soldiers, flashed a flattering smile upon seeing Liam and hurried over to him."Grandmaster Burrey, you're finally back!"With Gabriel's movement, there was a synchronized sound as thousands of soldiers turned and saluted Liam in unison."What's going on?"Liam narrowed his eyes and looked at Gabriel, who ha
It was not only because of Liam's incredible medical skills but also because he caught a glimpse of Liam in action inside the Third Prison! Although Gabriel still did not fully understand Liam's capabilities, that unforgettable scene left a lasting impression on him."How can you be so sure I can help train that Special Forces team?" Liam asked with a hint of amusement in his voice.Gabriel lifted his head high as if he had absolute confidence in Liam. "If you can't do it, then no one else in the world can."However, he lowered his head with a flattering smile. "Grandmaster Burrey, just do your best. Even if we end up in last place, I won't blame you. You're my last resort!"Gabriel was also uncertain about the final outcome."You…"Liam shook his head, unable to help but smile at the sight before him. He glanced at the fluttering military flags around them and changed the subject."By the way, why did you bring so many soldiers just to ask for my help?"Gabriel puffed out his
Serena took a deep breath before she began to speak. She clearly remembered Ronald's warnings about the security guards at Vientiane Bay. They were known for their hostility and would resort to violence at the slightest provocation.With that in mind, Serena felt anxious as she said, "I'm from the Lloyd Group, here to discuss the contract with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation…"The security guard at the gate glared fiercely and shouted, "Why is someone from the Lloyd Group here again? Still looking for trouble? Wasn't the lesson we gave you earlier enough?"Serena was tense but mustered the courage to explain quickly, "The Lloyd Group really does have a project to sign with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation! My name is Serena. The signing notification came directly from the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation—""Serena?"Suddenly, the security guard's body trembled in panic before Serena could finish as he asked, "Are you Serena Lloyd?""Yes, that's me."Serena was tak
"Please follow me. Mister Jenkins is waiting for you on the second floor," Hendrix said with a slight bow, gesturing to Serena to follow her before walking ahead and leading the way.Serena instinctively followed her.Soon, under Hendrix's guidance, they arrived at the lavishly decorated second floor of the Vientiane Bay sales office.Hendrix bowed to Serena again. "Mister Jenkins is inside. You can go in now."Serena nodded absently and thanked her. "Okay. Thank you for your trouble."Hendrix's face instantly showed a hint of nervousness, and she waved her hands repeatedly. "No trouble at all! It's my honor to serve you, Miss Lloyd!"Serena opened her mouth but did not know what to say for a moment.Whether it was the staff's reaction when she first entered the sales hall or Hendrix's attitude, it all made Serena feel a strong sense of illusion, as if she were the owner of Vientiane Bay Real Estate coming for an inspection.Soon, Serena regained her clarity.Regardless of wha
Yuri nodded, his smile becoming even more ingratiating. "Yes, I'm responsible for signing the agreement with you on behalf of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation."Serena sighed gently, hesitating for a moment before responding."Mister Jenkins, I must apologize before we proceed with signing the contract. According to the requirements of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, I needed to bring some materials related to the project when signing the agreement."However, the materials I had prepared were lost due to some unexpected events! I was afraid I wouldn't make it in time for the appointment, so I hurried here. Don't worry, Mister Jenkins, I will definitely make up for the missing materials!"Due to her nervousness, Serena spoke quickly.Despite her interactions with Yuri, she did not feel any reluctance from the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation to cooperate with them, as Ronald mentioned. However, when signing the contract, it was her fault for not bringing the require
What on earth was happening?If not for the Lloyd family's disheveled state when they returned home, Serena would have started doubting the truthfulness of what Ronald had told her about the situation.Looking at the scenario, the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation showed no signs of reluctance to cooperate. On the contrary, they seemed eager to sign the contract as soon as possible.Moreover, the attitude of everyone such as the security guards at the entrance, the staff of Vientiane Bay, and Yuri himself, was incredibly enthusiastic.Staring at the contract on the table, Serena's mind momentarily went blank, unsure how to react. She instinctively picked up the contract and started flipping through it.As she read through the contract, Serena suddenly realized that there were some changes compared to their initial discussions. However, all the changes were in her favor!Serena paused abruptly, raising her head to look at Yuri. "Mister Jenkins, why is the contract different?""T
Serena could still attribute some of the reasons to her previous efforts. Additionally, since she was the contact person for the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, it was after they met her that Yuri and his team had such a significant change.However, Yuri's words instantly reminded Serena of something.When Liam called her to explain, he said the same words, but she had not listened to him and had hung up the phone. At that moment, as she recalled this incident, Serena's body trembled violently in disbelief. Suddenly, a thought emerged in Serena's mind that she could not even believe herself! "Liam..."Could it be that Liam had not deceived her at all? Was he the one who facilitated the cooperation with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation?For a moment, Serena's mind became a chaotic mess. "Impossible. It's impossible..."However, the pain and confusion of being continuously deceived by Liam soon pulled Serena back from her daze. "This must be a coincidence," she mut
