Upon witnessing the scene before them, Lucy, standing with a water pitcher on the side, was suddenly dumbfounded. It was not just Lucy. Everyone from the Hill family, including Travis, froze in place. The way it appeared, Liam was indeed the revered Grandmaster Burrey. Moreover, the attitude seemed just as respectful. Travis's heart was suddenly filled with a sense of foreboding.Lucy hurriedly offered Julian the cup of water. "Grandpa, have some water first!"Though Julian had been unconscious for several days and had just recovered from a serious illness, he could manage some simple movements after experiencing the discomfort of awakening. However, he paid no attention to Lucy whatsoever. In fact, since Julian had regained consciousness, he had not paid any attention to anyone from the Hill family.Suddenly, Julian seemed to realize something as he lay in bed. His body stiffened, and he looked up in panic at Liam."Grandmaster Burrey, is it because of me that you've broken
The room went silent.The members of the Hill family froze, their eyes wide with shock. They had never imagined hearing such words from Julian.When the Hill family first encountered Liam, they did not take him seriously. However, their attitude shifted after witnessing Liam's extraordinary medical skills through Julian's treatment.Although the Hill family was impressed by Liam's medical prowess and respected him, that was as far as it went in their minds.After all, the handsome young man was just an exceptionally skilled physician to them. They never even dreamed that Liam possessed such power.Recalling their initial disdain for Liam, the Hill family shuddered.Lucy stood in the background, her cherry-red lips slightly parted. She had always thought she respected Liam enough. However, she then realized that everything she had done was inadequate in Liam's eyes.Even with such power and background, Liam remained so modest throughout.For a moment, Lucy's mind went blank.Me
In the face of Julian's words, Liam remained calm as he replied lightly, "No need to talk about gratitude. I merely did what I had to do."Julian's expression was solemn as he reaffirmed his conviction. "Without you, Grandmaster Burrey, there would be no Hill family!"Liam shook his head, no longer insisting, but instead replied, "If you want to find the mastermind, you can start by investigating the person who poisoned you. I observed that the poison you were administered was no ordinary one.""Thank you, Grandmaster Burrey."Julian nodded, turning to Lucy. "Listen to Grandmaster Burrey's advice and investigate the poisoning. I won't show myself until the mastermind emerges. You'll continue to handle the Hill family affairs."Julian was ready to act as bait to lure out the assailant targeting the Hill family.Lucy nodded earnestly. "Understood!"After Julian regained consciousness, Lucy clearly gained more confidence. Although she managed half of the Hill family's business and
"Who gave them the audacity? Settle the score? That's letting them off too lightly!"A flash of anger crossed Julian's face as he looked at Liam in frustration. "Grandmaster Burrey, give me a week. Let me uproot that ungrateful Lloyd family from South City! If I don't wipe them out completely, I'd owe you so much for nothing!"Listening to Lucy and Julian's words, Liam was taken aback. Due to his years spent in prison and the lack of communication with the Lloyd family since his release, he truly had no idea about the situation.Back then, Julian had helped the Lloyd family a lot because of Liam. The Lloyd family's development in recent years was also closely related to him.After a moment of silence, Liam sighed. "Forget it. I might have some misunderstandings with the Lloyd family, but it's not as serious as you say."Though the Lloyd family meant nothing to him, there was still Serena."Grandmaster Burrey, why should you suffer such grievances because of a mere Lloyd family?"
The Hill family's convoy arrived at the airport shortly after.Since it was the earliest flight, they had just arrived at the airport when Liam prepared to board.Standing at the security checkpoint, Lucy looked at Liam with hesitation. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something."Grandmaster Burrey..."Liam was taken aback. "What's wrong?"In the end, Lucy did not speak her mind. She just flashed a brilliant smile and said, "It's nothing. Grandmaster Burrey, if I'm not bothering you, I'll find you in South City later. I hope you don't find me annoying."Liam smiled and shook his head. "Of course not."After briefly chatting with Lucy, he turned around and entered the security check.After Liam left, Lucy still stood in place. She watched Liam's figure, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.Lucy did not know why she felt that way when she saw Liam leave."Grandmaster Burrey..."Lucy lowered her head, murmuring softly just as Liam boarded the return flight.
"Of course! When Mister Corona interacted with us back then, it was a pleasant experience. Moreover, we saw that he clearly had the influence to speak on behalf of the Hill family!" Felix beamed with a broad smile. "If anyone helped us, it must've been Mister Corona!"Serena frowned. "Even if Tobias can talk to the Hill family, he doesn't seem like someone who can change their minds."Serena knew Tobias quite well. Despite his impressive abilities, he was not influential enough to sway the Hill family's decisions."Why don't we just call him and ask? If it was him who helped, we should at least thank him properly," Ronald suggested, pulling out his phone."We can't let Mister Corona do us such a big favor without even expressing our gratitude."Serena nodded. Soon, the call connected."Mister Corona, did you speak to the Hill family and get them to resume their cooperation with our Lloyd Corporation?" Ronald asked tentatively, holding the phone.On the other end, Tobias was ta
Upon hearing those words, Serena paused slightly, a complex expression flashing across her cold and beautiful face. She had not expected Tobias to help her family. To make the Hill family change their mind, Tobias must have made quite an effort!"You've done us such a big favor, yet you didn't tell us in advance," Serena's voice softened a bit.Tobias continued over the phone. "It's only a small matter. Why fuss about it? Serena, I met your ex-husband, the one you mentioned to me many times before. I truly believe that leaving Liam was the best choice you ever made."Ever since that worthless fellow was released from prison, nothing has gone smoothly for your family. First, your mother and your brother were beaten up. Then, your father and relatives faced such a huge problem at the Hill family's annual gathering!"He's a recently released convict, and I can't fathom how he had the nerve to deceive the Hill family, dragging your family into it! If it weren't for me this time, what
Hailey's face was full of hurt. "Thinking about you marrying Liam, I regret it so much now! It's your poor brother I pity the most. He's still lying in a hospital bed!"Hearing the voices around her, Serena suddenly stood up and declared firmly, "I'm going to get an explanation from Liam! I can't let you suffer in vain!"With that, Serena left the hall with her phone in hand. She stood at the door as her face contorted angrily while dialing Liam's number.At the same time, Liam had just left the airport and was about to pass through a quiet alley ahead. His phone suddenly rang loudly.Taking out his phone, he froze when he saw the number. Serena's number had not changed. He recognized the string of digits that were etched in his memory.He paused for a moment before answering. "Hello. What's up?"The moment he answered, Serena's accusing voice came through."Liam! You know very well what’s up! Back then, you beat my brother and my mother so badly that they ended up in the hosp
