With Liam's promise, it meant that Julian was not far from the day he could leave the Hill residence.Julian suddenly remembered something as he quickly looked up at Liam. "By the way, Grandmaster Burrey, we found some clues about what you asked us to investigate.""Hmm?" Liam turned his head sharply.Julian explained, lIt's about Misha Ellis. Although I didn't find any direct information about her, I discovered a crucial clue. Many years ago, there was a group of people who tried to find Misha through various channels. Twenty years ago, those searching for her all disappeared overnight in South City!""Twenty years ago?"Liam squinted his eyes. If he remembered correctly, it was 20 years ago that his mother, Misha, went missing.Julian nodded. "Yes, exactly twenty years ago."He then frowned and continued, "However, their identities seem very unusual. To this day, I haven't been able to uncover who they are. I can only roughly confirm that they came from the capital, Juneau."
Recalling everything that had happened earlier, Julian could not help but shake his head."They probably didn't expect things to turn out this way in the end, but after these events, it's actually a good thing."A sly look flashed in Lucy's eyes. "With so many pharmaceutical groups in the northwest being frozen, there's nearly a hundred billion dollars of market shares left behind. I've had my eye on this market for a long time!"She truly was the most outstanding heir of the Hill family in her generation.Lucy only experienced a brief shock before keenly sensing the huge market opening up after the other pharmaceutical companies dealt with Caduceus Pharmaceuticals.In fact, it had not been long before she had already started making detailed plans related to it.Hearing Lucy's words, Julian laughed heartily. "Not bad at all, Lucy! It seems I can really entrust the future of the Hill family to you!"Her performance indeed satisfied Julian greatly.Hearing Julian's compliment, Lu
"Grandmaster Burrey, where are you headed? I'll give you a ride!"Liam shook his head lightly. "I'll just be wandering around. Let's head out first.""Sure thing!"Realizing she could spend more time with Liam, Lucy's eyes flashed with a hint of joy.With that, Lucy started her eye-catching red sports car, driving off with Liam from the Hill family estate.Throughout the ride, Lucy happily chatted with Liam. He responded to her while gazing out the car window at the passing scenery. Over the years, the provincial city had not changed much. However, as Liam looked at the familiar sights, he could not recapture the old feelings they once evoked. Life, perhaps, was not about the scenery, but the person viewing it."Alright. Let's stop here," Liam said suddenly, as if he had seen something.Lucy expertly maneuvered the red Ferrari into a graceful arc and came to a stop. The car, worth millions and driven by a stunning beauty in a red dress, naturally drew the attention of passer
Seeing the confused look on Liam's face, Layla pouted. "Liam, how could you forget where I study?"A hint of embarrassment flashed across Liam's face. "I was just thinking about something else and it slipped my mind for a moment." Seeing Liam's expression, Layla's face lit up with a mischievous smile. "Alright, alright, I can see it wasn't on purpose. I forgive you!"She then hopped aside, revealing the girl standing behind her. "Liam, let me introduce you to my best friend, Wendy Miers!"Wendy, a bit dazed and cute, immediately followed suit upon hearing Layla's words."Hello, Liam… I'm Wendy. I often hear Layla talk about you—""Wendy, what are you saying? I don't talk about my dearest brother-in-law that often at school..."Before Wendy could finish, Layla quickly interrupted her, her face turning red.Wendy, slow to react, finally realized her mistake and hurriedly explained, "Layla doesn't talk about you that often at school...""Alright, alright. It's better if you don'
Wendy lifted her head and smiled at Layla. "Haven't you always said you haven't seen Liam in a while? Now that he's here, you should talk to him more.""I... I didn't say that..."Layla's face turned even redder. Nonetheless, she shuffled over to stand beside Liam.Seeing Layla approach, Liam squinted slightly as he spoke. "Layla, about your friend's health, I think I might have—""Liam, you're worried too, aren't you?"Layla did not catch the meaning behind Liam's words. She sighed deeply and added, "We're all very concerned about her, but according to Wendy, she's been like this for over ten years with no improvement.""Liam, thank you for your concern. I'm actually doing okay," Wendy replied, having overheard their conversation. Wendy lifted her head and gave a smile that was both understanding and heart-wrenching."Back when I was in Juneau, the doctors had already given up on me. However, my parents somehow heard about a miracle doctor in South City with incredible skills
Even though she did not know how Liam met such a wealthy and attractive friend in the provincial capital, Lucy's appearance made Layla feel a great sense of crisis."Layla, what's wrong?" Liam asked when he saw Layla lower her head and sigh."It's nothing..."Layla responded in a muffled voice, keeping her head down as if lost in thought."Liam, the family was talking about Howser a few days ago. I was back on campus then, so I wasn't at home! At that time, I thought that if only I had been home, there wouldn't have been so much resentment in the family!"Layla quickly raised her head and, with some grievance, said, "I've always known that you're very capable, Liam. There must've been some misunderstanding in that matter..."Layla seemed to be trying to explain the family's attitude at the time.Liam saw Layla's expression and smiled. "It's okay, Layla, I understand. You don't need to worry. I don't actually care much about those things..."Layla became anxious upon hearing Lia
"Liam, you…"Hearing Liam's words, Layla became even more anxious. Reflecting on her family's recent attitude toward Liam, she understood his reaction but could not accept that Liam wanted to completely cut ties with Serena. A direct conversation would not solve the problem. She had to rely on subtle, persistent communication to change his mind.Layla took a deep breath and asked, "Liam, have you eaten?""Huh?"Liam was taken aback by her sudden change of topic. One moment she was talking about Wendy, and the next, she was asking if he had eaten."Actually, I haven't."Thinking back on his day, Liam shook his head. He had not eaten yet. He had come near the university to reminisce and enjoy some snacks from his past.Layla came over and took Liam's arm. "That's perfect! We were just about to eat. Join us.""Aren't you having a gathering with your classmates?"Liam did not mind eating with Layla, but he remembered that she mentioned a class reunion."It's fine. All my clas
"There's nothing to blame yourselves for," Liam said, shaking his head with a smile as he watched the scene unfold.Jackson Hughes exhaled deeply. "That's a relief, Liam. I'm glad you're so understanding and not holding it against us. Otherwise, Layla would've skinned me alive!"You're nothing like the rumors say," he added, raising his head to look at Liam with small, inquisitive eyes.Liam's smile broadened. "Oh? What do the rumors say about me?"Jackson shook his head. "They say you're unambitious and incompetent, relying on the Lloyd family. Worst of all, they claim you have a terrible temper and even hit your in-laws! Your temperament seems fine to me."Liam chuckled softly at Jackson's words. It seemed the Lloyd family had been spreading quite a bit of gossip about him in South City.Layla's angry voice cut through the conversation. "Jackson, have you said enough? Do you think what I told you is true, or do you believe the rumors outside?""Of course, what you said is true
