A deathly silence fell over the entire Everluster Pavilion, engulfing it in a stillness akin to death itself.

No one had anticipated the scene unfolding before them.

Though they did not know Felix personally, they recognized him as representing the Lloyd family.

The Lloyd Group from South City, no matter how one looked at it, was a substantial family business. Even if the Hill family surpassed them, customary respect was usually given.

However, Lucy slapped Felix solely because he was disrespectful to the young man sitting at the main table.

The scene lingered in the eyes of the guests, refusing to look away.

Who was that young man sitting at the main table?

Felix's gaze was blank. If not for the fiery pain on his face reminding him of it, Felix would probably have thought he was dreaming.

Why? Just because of a worthless ex-convict, Lucy had dared to hit him!

Though he was quite puzzled, Felix felt uneasy. He faintly felt that things seemed to have slipped from his control.

    Lucy's decisive demeanor was a far cry from her gentle touch when holding Liam's arm. The guests in the hall were stunned.If slapping Felix once could be explained by a moment of urgency, then the second slap she delivered was enough to illustrate that Lucy's respect for Liam came from the depths of her heart.However, what shocked the guests the most was the implication in Lucy's words. The young man sitting at the main guest table was the benefactor she mentioned earlier. What exactly had he done?Compared to the guests, the impact on Tobias and Ronald was far more intense. Just like Felix, they could not believe what was happening. When had the worthless ex-convict Liam become the benefactor of the Hill family? Their hearts filled with panic.However, there was no chance for Ronald and the others to react.Lucy glared at Felix coldly. "Now, take your fifty million and get out! As for the other accounts, we'll settle them with the Lloyd family after the annual gathering!"

    Liam was taken aback. "You're asking me to name it?"Lucy smiled again. "Of course! After all, from now on, every good deed this charity foundation does will be related to you, Grandmaster Burrey.""Since that's the case..."Liam squinted slightly, seemingly pondering something.Finally, he spoke up. "Then, let's call it the Harvest Union.""Harvest Union?" Lucy repeated.Although she did not know the significance behind Liam's choice of name, she found it exceptionally pleasing.Then, Lucy picked up the microphone. "Thanks to everyone for your generous support. Our charity foundation shall be named the Harvest Union Charity Foundation!"Her voice echoed throughout the hall.At that moment, neither Lucy nor the guests knew that the charity foundation, initially established with the help of the Hill family solely to express gratitude to Liam, would evolve into a colossal entity in the future, all because Liam had suggested the name.After finalizing the details concerning the

    "What on earth happened?" Hailey exclaimed.Hailey's eyes widened in shock. Other members of the Allen family in the room swiftly turned their heads upon hearing Ronald's words."It's because of Liam," Ronald said with a grim expression.Hailey frowned. "What?"It was not just Hailey. Upon hearing Ronald's words, Serena could not help but stare blankly for a moment.She could not fathom how the Hill family's annual gathering was connected to Liam."It's like this…"Ronald sighed and began recounting the events of the Hill family's annual gathering."No way!""How is that possible?""That scoundrel Liam received such treatment from the Hill family?""He's a benefactor of the Hill family?""Just because of him, the Hill family is willing to give out a billion dollars?"As Ronald finished speaking, the entire room suddenly descended into chaos. The members of the Lloyd family widened their eyes, dumbfounded. They could not believe what Ronald had just said. How could that e

    "Ah, I see! I always knew that worthless Liam had no right to associate with the Hill family!" Hailey exclaimed, her eyes widening in realization. With a face contorted with disgust, Hailey erupted in a tirade."That deceitful scoundrel, daring to impersonate a doctor to deceive the Hill family! Compared to the health of Mister Hill Senior, not to mention one billion dollars, the Hill family would probably be willing to offer ten billion dollars!"He's not content with his own demise, so he wants to drag the Lloyd family down with him! He didn't even speak up for us despite witnessing how much we suffered because of him. Liam, that scum, must've done it intentionally. He wants to harm our family!"Gritting her teeth, Hailey continued, "Ever since he was released from prison, have we had a single good day?"The members of the Lloyd family were suddenly stunned. In the next moment, their faces were consumed by anger."I always knew that scoundrel couldn't possess such abilities!"

    "I told you..."Hailey snorted coldly, as if she wanted to say something more."Alright, enough talking."Ronald waved his hand, cutting off Hailey's words. With a hint of disdain, he glanced at Serena before turning around."As long as we find the reason, it's good. I'm afraid that Liam has something to do with the Hill family. What's fortunate now is that the waste doesn't have that capability at all!"That ex-convict Liam, sooner or later, will be discovered by the Hill family. When that time comes, the misunderstanding between us and the Hill family can be resolved. However, during this period, it's likely that the Lloyd Group will suffer quite a blow..."Ronald let out a heavy sigh. Obviously, even a temporary setback would be a blow that the Lloyd Group could not easily withstand.However, faced with all this, they had no way out.The more he thought about it, the more furious Ronald felt toward Liam. He clenched his fists tightly and exclaimed, "That b*stard!"However,

    "Dad? Uncle Travis? Why are you both here?"There was a flicker of surprise in Lucy's eyes.Most of the Hill family members were in the room. The doctor, Harold Nashman, stood by Julian's bed, seemingly unsure of what to do.When Julian's condition became urgent, and there was seemingly no way to treat him, Lucy found the family still indecisive upon hearing the news about Liam. So, she brought Julian to South City.Lucy knew the risks of her actions were great, but for her, it was the only way out. Fortunately, Liam eventually lent a helping hand.However, the rest of the Hill family was not pleased with Lucy's actions. Lucy initially planned to explain everything to Julian after he regained consciousness.The Hill family members unexpectedly gathered. Hearing the voices behind her, everyone turned around to see her."Lucy..."Lucy's father, Ethan Hill, seemed hesitant as if he wanted to say something. However, before Ethan could speak, the voice of Lucy's uncle, Travis Hill

    "Grandpa's condition isn't as simple as you think!" Lucy exclaimed.Upon hearing Ethan's words, Lucy grew anxious. If it were a regular treatment, Lucy would not have objected. In fact, she would have been delighted. However, his condition was far more complex.Julian's condition was not at all like what Ethan and the others imagined. If Lucy recalled correctly, Liam had indicated that the life-threatening factor for Julian was poisoning. Although the toxins had been purged, allowing an uninformed doctor to intervene recklessly would only escalate the danger.Travis scoffed. "Not simple? Indeed, it isn't. Doctor Nashman has just assessed, and now the old man's condition seems stable. I believe it was this young lad you brought in who delayed Grandpa's treatment, causing him to go into a coma!"Lucy's face flushed with anger. "You all knew how critical Grandpa's condition was then! If it weren't for Grandmaster Burrey's skill, how could Grandpa have recovered as he has?"Travis s

    Travis could not stop smiling. If my old man can wake up that quickly, you'll be the Hill family's savior. We'll make sure to repay you properly!"Travis then turned to face Lucy with a sneer. "Did you hear that? It's all because you brought in that useless Grandmaster Burrey that delayed things. Otherwise, Doctor Nashman would have definitely cured Grandpa's illness much earlier!"Lucy was angry. "You..."However, Travis did not pay attention to Lucy's reaction. He turned to the other members of the Hill family and said, "It's by luck that we came here today. Otherwise, who knows how Lucy would've tormented my old man. By then, we might not even have the chance to regret it!"Ethan, standing at the back, let out a heavy sigh.When Travis and the others came to find Lucy, he still supported his daughter. However, regardless of what the members of the Hill family said, Liam remained calm, standing at the back.The reason he also let the so-called 'Doctor Nashman' continue with the

    "Dad, Liam really does have the ability to help our Hensworth Group…"However, hearing Liam’s words, a hint of urgency flashed across Valerie’s face. She quickly spoke, as though she wanted to persuade him of something.Even though, up until now, Valerie did not know the full extent of Liam’s influence, after the last class reunion, she was very certain—Liam helping the Hensworth Group would definitely not be a problem!"Valerie! You and Liam, both of you get out of here!"Before Valerie could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Charles. His face darkened as he pointed toward the nearby door and barked harshly."Come back when you’ve thought things through!"The Hensworth Group was already on the brink of a crisis. Yet Valerie was still stirring up trouble. Right now, Charles did not even want to see her!"Dad…"Seeing this, Valerie opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say more.And just then—Bang!A loud noise rang out.

    "I…"Hearing Charles’s words, Sebastian froze. His once-straight back slowly hunched over.Charles was not wrong.If the Lloyd Group were dealing with some minor trouble, maybe he could help. But if the crisis was so severe that marrying off Valerie was the only solution, there was nothing Sebastian could do.After all, he had stepped away from the Lloyd Group’s management and handed it over to Charles many years ago.Sebastian had long since lost much of his influence.Now, he was just an old man who spent his days watering flowers and pulling weeds.At that moment, a wave of frustration washed over him.As for the truth behind Charles’s words, he did not ask much. Sebastian knew his son well. If the situation were not dire, Charles wouldn’t be saying such things.Just then, Liam’s voice rang out, slow and steady."How serious could the Lloyd Group’s crisis be for you to be in such a rush to marry off Valerie?"He narrowed his eyes slightly, fixing his gaze on Charles."Yo

    The young man standing before them, tall and handsome, could he really be the person described in those rumors?"Dad! Mom! You just don’t understand!"Valerie's delicate face was filled with urgency as she looked at the scene before her. "Liam really isn’t like the rumors say.""I honestly think that being with him is an honor for our Hensworth family. Please, you have to trust me!" she pleaded desperately."Grandpa just had a chat with Liam earlier. Why don’t you ask him? Doesn’t he also think Liam is great? He’s truly amazing. Everything I know about him barely scratches the surface!"As she spoke, Valerie turned her gaze to Sebastian, seeking his support.What she wanted to convey to Charles and Janell was not just about seeking their approval for her to be with Liam.At this point, Valerie only wanted to clear Liam’s name!"Sigh..."Hearing her words, Sebastian let out a deep sigh.He raised his head to look at Charles, his tone softening slightly.

    Hearing Valerie's voice, Liam could not help but turn his head, looking at Valerie with surprise in his eyes. Although he knew that her current actions were merely an excuse to avoid marrying that Mister Nosh, her performance truly startled him. If it were not for the prior agreement between him and Valerie, he would have almost believed what she was saying was true. Valerie's acting skills were indeed exceptional.As for the Hensworth family's prejudices, Liam did not care. He was well aware that, thanks to the propaganda from the Lloyd family, his reputation in South City was hardly good. However, none of this could affect him. A dragon soaring high in the sky would never be concerned about the buzzing of flies. But it seemed that the rumors from the Lloyd family were causing some trouble for Valerie. Liam had actually thought about this initially. However, when he first agreed to meet Valerie's parents, he genuinely believed that he just needed to show up and everything w

    He immediately turned his head to look at Sebastian and said, "At your age, you usually have the best perspective. What happened this time? Why do you trust someone you just met so much?"That's because you didn't see the performance of this kid just now!"Sebastian was very dissatisfied with Charles's words. He patted his waist and said, "If it weren't for this kid just now, I wouldn't be able to stand up until now! He wants to teach me a set of boxing techniques that can heal my old man's back injury. Can you do that?""This…"Hearing Sebastian's words, Charles was taken aback. He really did not know that so much had happened just now. Charles was not a foolish person stuck in his ways. Seeing Sebastian's attitude, he could still determine that the young man in front of him had some ability.However, even so, Charles's thoughts did not change."What's your name?" Charles turned his head to look at Liam and asked. This was the first time he had inquired about Liam's name since e

    "It's probably because Valerie didn't want to expose our relationship too much before."Liam shook his head.In fact, he felt helpless too. After all, just ten minutes ago, he had agreed to Valerie's request to pretend to be her boyfriend.Charles might have heard about him somewhere before. At most, it was probably back when they were in school, listening to Valerie talk about herself.Upon hearing Liam's answer, Charles's expression grew even darker.He looked at Valerie with dissatisfaction, then turned back to Liam, straightforwardly asking, "What do you do for a living, and what does your family do?""Charles, how can you talk like that!"Seeing this scene unfold before him, Sebastian's voice rang out first before Liam could respond."This young man is quite capable; he just helped me with my waist injury. After all, he is Valerie's boyfriend, so you should speak more politely!"He shot an unhappy glance at Charles."I…"Hearing this, Charles was taken aback, and a look

    Sebastian no longer harbored much doubt about Liam's words. Looking at the scene before her, Valerie's face was filled with astonishment. She had never imagined it.Aside from being knowledgeable in medicine, Liam also knew martial arts! This revelation sparked intense curiosity in Valerie's heart. Hadn't he been in prison for a few years? How did he come out not only with such an extraordinary background but also with skills in both medicine and martial arts?The key point was that Valerie knew her grandfather, Sebastian, very well. Although he appeared kind and gentle, he actually had high standards! She had never seen anyone, except Liam, who could make Sebastian so satisfied upon their first meeting.Unfortunately… Liam was not actually her real boyfriend. Valerie lowered her head slightly, her eyes dimming a bit.However, at the moment, no one seemed too focused on Valerie. Sebastian eagerly began asking Liam about martial arts. Just as Liam was positioning himself to teac

    This scene left Valerie astonished!Back at the class reunion, she had already been quite shocked by the hints of Liam's extraordinary background. But now, she was discovering that Liam even knew medicine?"It's just a little knowledge," Liam said with a faint smile in response to Valerie's remark."Kid, what you said just now matches my situation perfectly." At that moment, Sebastian's voice rang out as he looked straight at Liam. "Your medical skills seem far from just ‘a little' knowledge!""It's just a bit of understanding," Liam replied humbly, shaking his head."I don't care what you really understand!" Sebastian continued. "Since you're Valerie's boyfriend, that makes us family!"Waving his hand, Sebastian said, "I won't be polite with you. Since you noticed my back pain, you must have some understanding of it! Do you perhaps have any way to relieve this old back pain of mine?"He sighed deeply. "For years now, this back pain has really been the bane of my existence!""T

    In the villa's yard, an elderly man with a lean frame and vibrant spirit was holding a shovel, tending to the plants and flowers in the garden. Hearing a sound from outside, he lifted his head and, upon seeing Valerie, instantly revealed a warm smile."Valerie, you're back?" he said, stretching his back as he stood up. "I've already talked to your parents! If you don't want to get married, you don't have to. Our Hensworth family hasn't fallen to the point where we need to rely on selling off our granddaughter to advance!""No need to be too upset with your parents," he added, looking at her with a fond smile."Grandpa!" Valerie replied playfully upon hearing his words.The elderly man, tending to the garden, was Sebastian Hensworth, Valerie's grandfather, and the one who initially established the foundation of the Hensworth family."Oh? So our Valerie wasn't lying after all!"At that moment, Sebastian finally noticed Liam standing behind Valerie. He froze for a moment, then his s
