Inside Studio One, a lively and bustling scene unfolded!The guests who had gone outside to witness the commotion earlier had mostly returned to the hall after the armed helicopter had departed. Although they had not gotten a clear look at the figure's face, they were still astonished by how young the person seemed.However, it did not matter who the mysterious figure arriving by helicopter was. The press conference for the launch of Bellflower was about to begin.Sure enough, just as they returned to the hall, the lights suddenly brightened, capturing everyone’s attention."Serena, can you focus for a moment?"However, just then, the frustrated voice of Hailey rang out, "Can’t you see the press conference is about to start? What are you thinking about?"Ever since they arrived at the launch event, Hailey had noticed that Serena had been distracted. Now that the event was about to officially begin, Hailey could no longer tolerate her daughter’s behavior and started to scold her.
She smiled gently. "But let's not get caught up in these trivial matters. After all, the focus of this press conference is Bellflower!"As she spoke, several staff members pushed a small cart towards them. On the cart sat a small, brown, round pill."The effects of Bellflower medicine are quite miraculous..."With that, Lucy began to explain the various benefits of Bellflower.However, not a single person from the Hill family was paying attention to the effects of Bellflower!The moment Lucy appeared, they were all frozen in place!"It's her! She's the one with Liam, that scoundrel who attacked us!""Isn't she the eldest daughter of the Hill family?""Serena… Liam got out of her car that day..."In an instant, various voices erupted.However, without exception, everyone recognized the graceful figure standing in front of them, though each had experienced different encounters with her.Hearing the voices around them, the members of the Lloyd family were momentarily stunned!
"What a ridiculous dream!"This time, even Grandmaster Burrey's face was filled with utter disdain. "Liam, that useless piece of trash, what abilities does he have other than being a pretty face? How could the Hill family possibly value him so highly?"As for that charitable foundation you mentioned, it’s even more impossible for it to be the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation! When that foundation was established, so many families donated to it!""But now, the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation has no connection with those families! And as for Liam being the president of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, that's nothing more than a daytime fantasy!"He gritted his teeth, his face twisted with anger. "If the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation were truly associated with that waste, Liam, do you think he would hide away like a coward? With his personality, he would have jumped out to flaunt it long ago!"At this moment, Grandmaster Burrey couldn't help but recall the humiliat
She quickly turned around and jogged toward the figure.Soon after, Lucy hurriedly took hold of that figure's arm with concern."Liam..."The moment she saw this scene, Serena's body trembled, and her stunningly beautiful face turned pale.Even though she had divorced Liam a long time ago, and despite her family just informing her about many things regarding Liam, she still could not accept it when it unfolded before her eyes.In the next moment, Serena took a step forward, walking directly toward where Lucy was standing.Seeing this, her family quickly followed her.At the same time..."Grandmaster Burrey, are you feeling better now?" Lucy asked, full of concern, while holding onto Liam's arm."Pretty much," Liam replied with a smile and nodded.After the breathing exercises he just performed, his internal energy had recovered quite a bit. His condition was much better than before.The most important thing was that during this session, Liam once again noticed an increase in
"So, are you planning to keep climbing the ranks by relying on women?" Serena stared at Liam, her voice unrelenting and direct."Relying on women to climb the ranks?" Liam was taken aback, frozen in place. He had no idea why, after suddenly seeing Serena, she would say such a thing!"If you weren’t relying on women, could you have reached where you are today?" Serena had not even finished speaking when Hailey's scornful voice interrupted, "If it weren’t for you hooking up with Miss Hill, do you think you’d have the status you have now? And if it weren’t for Miss Hill’s backing, would you have dared to lay a hand on me back then…"Hailey still had not forgotten the slap she received. However, compared to before, she was now even more convinced that it was all because of Liam!"Miss Hill, I sincerely apologize. At that time, I didn’t know who you were, and I might have spoken out of turn." She then turned her head, looking at Lucy, pointing disdainfully at Liam as she continued,
She wanted to speak, to tell the members of the Lloyd family the shocking yet little-known truths about Liam—truths that would astonish anyone. Lucy also wanted to reveal everything to the Lloyd family. Without Liam, the Lloyd Group would have ceased to exist long ago!In fact, Lucy even considered ordering these ungrateful members of the Lloyd family to leave immediately!However, just as she was about to speak, she suddenly stopped.Although she had not known Liam for long, Lucy felt she had a fair understanding of Grandmaster Burrey. Especially considering the decisions Grandmaster Burrey had made for the Lloyd Group in the past because of Serena—it was clear that Grandmaster Burrey harbored complex feelings towards her.However, Serena's current actions would undoubtedly disappoint Grandmaster Burrey. She could not deal with someone who had let down Grandmaster Burrey so easily!"After hearing what you all have to say, I think I should be thanking you."The next moment, Luc
"Bet! Since you've said so, Miss Hill, wouldn't it be ungrateful of us not to agree?"Immediately.Before Serena could respond, Hailey's eager voice rang out.Moreover."But, if we actually win this bet, Miss Hill, as the eldest daughter of the Hill family and the one currently in charge of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's projects, you wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"Worried that Lucy might deny it later, Hailey lifted her head, her face plastered with a smile as she asked.Ever since hearing Lucy say she was willing to stake half of the Hill family's fortune on this bet, Hailey hadn’t uttered a single word to convince Lucy that Liam was worthless."Of course, I wouldn't go back on my word."Looking at Hailey's eager expression, a trace of mockery flickered in Lucy's eyes.She now had a profound understanding of how shortsighted the Lloyd family really was. Forget half of the Hill family’s assets, even if they had ten times their fortune, it would not be wo
But after witnessing everything that unfolded before her eyes, Serena suddenly realized that the press conference was utterly meaningless!From now on, they would proceed with their collaboration with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation as usual. As for the role Liam might play in this situation, Serena no longer cared in the slightest!Like the other members of the Lloyd family, Serena was now entirely convinced that Liam was nothing more than someone who relied on women to get by!"Then I won't see you off," Serena remarked, a faint smile crossing Lucy’s face in response.Soon after, under Serena’s lead, the Lloyd family members turned to leave Studio One. It wasn’t that they found the press conference uninteresting; rather, they were simply worried that Lucy might change her mind."Um..."Just before leaving, Layla, who had been lost in thought, suddenly snapped out of her daze. She turned her head to look at Liam, as if she wanted to say something."What is it you want to
If all of this is really true, doesn't that mean this man is really the president of the Fowler Society?Sophia's mind was a mess.At that moment…"Aunt Sophia, let's head back first."Liam's voice sounded. He looked at Sophia and gave a faint smile. "You don't need to worry about the rest. From now on, no one will bother you again.""When we come back, I think your shop should be restored to its original state."As he spoke, Liam turned and glanced at Nathaniel beside them."Y-Yes…"Upon hearing this, Nathaniel's body trembled, and he quickly lowered his head again.He understood the implied meaning in Liam's words.However, Sophia, who was still in shock and confusion, didn't register Liam's words at all."We have to leave quickly!"She nodded urgently. "If the police show up later, we'll be in big trouble!"Sophia was still uneasy about the current situation."Ha…"Hearing this, Liam could not help but laugh.Sophia's reaction was rather cute, but he knew well that for
"Hahaha…"Upon hearing this, Liam paused, then let out a helpless laugh. "He's the president of the Fowler Society, Nathaniel, the one you mentioned.""What?"Sophia was suddenly stunned.She widened her eyes and stared fixedly at Nathaniel, her gaze filled with suspicion. "He can be the president of the Fowler Society? Liam, don't lie to me!""I'm not lying to you…"Liam chuckled bitterly and shook his head.He turned to look at Nathaniel and sighed softly. "Did you see that? Lately, you've really been disappointing me.""Grandmaster Burrey!"Hearing this, Nathaniel trembled violently. A look of extreme fear flashed in his eyes. "I'm truly sorry! The issue with someone daring to impersonate a Fowler Society member, it's my fault!"Rest assured, from now on, I'll never let something like this happen again!"He suddenly turned around, his gaze fixed on the group of people lying on the ground ahead, including Mister Leonidas, wishing he could tear them apart with his bare hand
"What's the relationship between Bluebird and Serena?"Upon hearing Sophia's words, Liam froze for a moment, a look of confusion flashing across his eyes."I…"At the mention, Sophia froze even more abruptly.Right now, she could confirm that the current situation didn't seem to have anything to do with Serena.But the next moment, Sophia looked ahead, at the desolate scene, her body shuddered, and she suddenly snapped back to reality."Liam, listen to me, let's leave quickly!"She raised her head to look at Liam, her voice slightly tense as she spoke, "I know now how capable you are, but listen to me, we'd better leave first!"They're from the Fowler Society, and the forces behind them are far from simple. We really can't afford to mess with them. When I called the police back then, no one cared!"Sophia's face showed panic. "You've hurt so many of them, the Fowler Society won't just let this go!""I…"Upon hearing this, Liam paused.And at that moment..."Grandmaster Bur
A graceful figure suddenly appeared before him.Then, in the next instant, a piercing cold gleam suddenly erupted!Clang!The steel rod in Mister Leonidas's hand dropped to the ground with a crisp sound.He froze for a moment, looking down in confusion.Then, Mister Leonidas saw his own bare arm!In the next moment, he let out a horrific, agonizing scream!It was not just him.Ahh—!Behind him, all the men who had been holding rods and preparing to chase after Liam and Sophia trembled, letting out wails of unbearable pain!Because just at that moment, the palms holding their rods had been sliced off by a single slash!Bluebird stood nearby, holding a dagger, her expression indifferent, her eyes devoid of any emotion.It was a rare honor for Mister Leonidas and his men to provoke a martial arts Ascendant into action!"Quick... run..."Sophia's words were frozen in midair.She stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what she was seeing, her face filled with shock.Sophia had
"What do you think you are!"Hearing Liam's voice, the man known as Mister Leonidas turned his head, his eyes flashing with a cold gleam as he looked at Liam. "Do you think you have a say here?""Liam…"A trace of anxiety flashed across Sophia's face. She tugged at Liam's sleeve, signaling for him to stay quiet.When she saw Mister Leonidas and the others appear earlier, Sophia had been worried that Liam, being impulsive, might do something reckless!After all, young people sometimes can't control their tempers, and that's normal.She recalled how, when Mister Leonidas and his gang first demanded protection money, she had absolutely refused to pay!In the end, this had led to the current tragic situation.Sophia did not want Liam to be dragged into all this trouble."No wonder you dared to come back," Mister Leonidas sneered as he looked at the scene before him. "So you brought some backup!""But…" He looked Liam up and down, then mockingly spoke, "This so-called backup of yo
"This is the place…"Standing at the entrance of the shop, Sophia's expression darkened."Who gave them the guts..."Looking at the devastated butcher shop ahead, a flash of anger suddenly flickered in Liam's eyes!It was clear.For her butcher shop, Sophia had put in a lot of effort. Not only was the decoration quite delicate, but even the walls had a cartoonish image of Sophia smiling broadly!Just looking at the shop's decor, one could tell how happy and excited Sophia was during the preparation stage.But all of it had already been shattered to pieces before it even began!"Let's just leave after we're done…"Sophia's voice sounded heavy.She had turned her head, not wanting to see the heartbreaking scene inside the butcher shop."Aunt Sophia, don't be sad. I'll pay to help you redo the shop…"Noticing Sophia's sadness, Liam turned around and gave a small smile, trying to comfort her.However, just then, a harsh voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Liam's words."Did
"Fowler Society?"Upon hearing Sophia's words, Liam was momentarily stunned."That's right."Sophia sighed deeply, looked up, and weakly glanced at Liam. "Child, you probably haven't heard of this organization.""We ordinary people are like this. Before this, I didn't even know there was a Fowler Society in our South City…"A bitter smile flashed across her face. "But after finding out, I realized the Fowler Society is actually the biggest underground force in South City!"We ordinary people are no match for them. If I had known this, I would've just paid the management fee to them. What would it have cost me…"Sophia was full of regret.Under the intense pressure of the so-called Fowler Society members, she dared not feel any anger. She only regretted paying the management fee, as that would have prevented the current situation!However, the more Liam listened to Sophia, the more he furrowed his brows."They actually dare to do such things?"His face darkened as he pulled o
"No, no! What could be wrong with me!"Hearing this, Sophia shook her head.Despite saying this, her tall and strong frame, which usually radiated enthusiasm, now seemed exhausted to the point where she barely had the strength to speak. How could she possibly be fine?"Aunt Sophia, you've always told me we're like family."Liam shook his head and blocked Sophia's path as she tried to leave. "If you don't tell me, it means you don't consider me one of your own!""I…"Upon hearing this, a bitter smile flashed across Sophia's face. She sighed heavily before speaking.Sophia's meat-selling business had always been quite successful. But despite her seemingly carefree personality, Sophia harbored a dream of her own. She did not want to continue running a meat stall. She wanted to open a butcher shop!And she had worked hard all this time to make that dream come true.Finally, after saving enough money, Sophia was able to pursue her dream. She spent money and secured a shop nearby.
At first, Serena had imagined countless reactions that Liam might have upon receiving the Lokki Mercy record.Whether it was surprise, happiness, shock, or even sadness.In her mind, Liam would surely be deeply moved.However, Serena never expected that upon seeing the Lokki Mercy record, Liam would remain so calm, with no reaction at all.It was as if, to Liam, the Lokki Mercy record was something trivial, something that no longer mattered.This left Serena feeling an immense sadness.Her sadness did not stem from Liam no longer liking Lokki Mercy.What truly made Serena sad was that the Liam before her now felt like a complete stranger.She suddenly felt that Liam was no longer the familiar Liam she once knew!And the distance between them had grown further and further apart!Although Serena knew very well that once they divorced, there was no longer any connection between them, she was clear-headed and rational about this fact. But when everything unfolded before her eyes,
