There was a time when she lived here with Liam.Back then, Liam would cook every day, and sometimes, Serena would accompany him downstairs to buy groceries. At that time, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.However, as time passed, Serena gradually began to feel that Liam was a bit lazy and useless. Especially with Hailey's constant nagging, her feelings of disdain towards Liam grew even stronger. Aside from cooking daily, Liam didn’t provide her with any other help at all.Not long after, Liam went to prison to take the blame for the Lloyd family.While he was in prison, under the pressure and influence of the Lloyd family, Serena slowly started thinking about divorcing Liam.Years later, now, tasting the food Liam had cooked again, and feeling that familiar flavor, a wave of sour emotions surged in her heart."Liam..."Serena lifted her head to look at Liam, as if she wanted to say something."Just eat," Liam’s calm voice interrupted.Hearing this, Serena lowe
However, in the next moment, Serena’s words made Liam pause."When my mother said that Etchen should be in charge of this project, I really should have persuaded them against it."Serena’s stunning face was full of heartbreaking sorrow. "If I had persuaded them back then, how could all these things have happened afterward…?"Liam’s words ultimately brought Serena back to that painful memory."Wasn't the collaboration with the Ingram Group handled by you?" Liam frowned and looked at Serena."It wasn’t me…" Serena lowered her head, her voice deep, "At the time, Etchen handled the negotiations for this collaboration. My mom and the others said they wanted the Lloyd Group to continue expanding, so they agreed to let Etchen handle it.""I advised them back then, saying it would be enough to just work closely with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation," Serena added, "But it's still my fault. I didn't stand firm on my decision, and now things have turned out like this!"She raised he
"What's that?"The moment she heard Liam's words, Serena froze."I said, you no longer need to worry about those patients who were critically ill after consuming toxic substances and were admitted to the hospital."Liam looked at Serena and said calmly, "I've already treated their conditions.""As for Etchen and the so-called Lloyd Group that caused all this, don't worry, they will also face the consequences they deserve!"His voice suddenly turned cold.After Liam finished speaking, the room fell into silence.Serena's eyes widened as she stared at Liam, her expression filled with disbelief."What’s wrong?"Sensing Serena's gaze, Liam frowned and asked."What's wrong? You're asking me what's wrong?"After hearing Liam’s words, Serena finally snapped out of it. Her voice was filled with anger as she spoke, "Liam, how can you joke with me about something like this?""Let’s not even talk about Etchen for now. Do you have any idea how severe the impact of this incident is? Do
Her expression gradually became stronger!No matter what she had gone through, in the end, she could only rely on herself.After hearing what Liam had just said, Serena no longer wanted to continue confiding in him. She once again transformed into the proud CEO of the Lloyd Group.The last hope for the patients in the hospital had already been shattered.She knew that, ultimately, she would have to face everything that was about to happen!But no matter what the future held, Serena believed that she would be able to face it!Even if it meant facing an abyss!“I’ll be leaving now.”After speaking, she turned around, ready to leave the room.However, just as she was about to exit, she slowly stopped in her tracks.“No matter what you meant by those words earlier, or whether you were just trying to make me feel better, all of this is truly hard to accept!”“In the future, I really hope you’ll change and get rid of those bad habits you brought out from prison.”Then, Serena’s cl
After Serena left, Liam sat quietly at the dining table for a while.Then, he took out his phone and dialed a number."Help me look into the recent activities of Lloyd Group and Etchen," he said calmly to the person on the other end of the line. "Also, I want all the details on Ingram Group within the next 20 minutes."After giving the instructions, Liam hung up the phone.A chilling glint flashed across his handsome face.Meanwhile, Serena had already returned to the Lloyd family residence."What? You’re saying that the patients in the hospital are beyond saving?"As soon as Serena’s words hit her ears, Hailey’s eyes widened in shock."All these days of running around, and this is the result you’ve come up with?"She glared at Serena, scolding her harshly, "Serena, have you even been taking this seriously? Do you want to see Lloyd Group completely ruined before you're satisfied?""Mom… I didn’t!" Serena trembled at her mother's words, lowering her voice. "In the past few day
"What? Did I say something wrong?"Serena's expression remained cold and emotionless.In the face of Lloyd Group's impending disaster, she finally stopped indulging Etchen!"You..."Etchen glared at Serena, his body trembling."Mom! Look at Serena! She’s the one who’s incompetent, yet she’s pushing all the blame onto me!"The next moment, he quickly turned his head and complained to Hailey, "Our Lloyd Group is about to be finished, and she’s still taking our money to compensate those patients!""Serena, what exactly are you thinking this time?"Hailey glared at Serena with a grim expression. "Our family can barely survive, and you're still worrying about those so-called patients?"And why are you talking to your brother like that! Who's really your family?"Her voice was icy."Mom, if you went to the hospital and saw the condition of those patients, you would understand the immense suffering they’ve endured."Upon hearing this, Serena lowered her head and said, "Even if Llo
"The patients have suffered so much, and their families have been tormented even more. Do you think just kneeling down to apologize will work?"Serena turned her head, looking coldly at Etchen."How would you know if you don't try?"Etchen sneered and responded."Yeah, Serena, I also think this might be a way to show our sincerity. It's much more reliable than just offering compensation."At that moment, Hailey's voice suddenly chimed in. She no longer seemed angry but instead smiled as she looked at Serena. "Why don't we give it a try?""Mom, how do we try?"Hearing this, Serena frowned and asked, "Are we going to have the whole Lloyd family kneel down and apologize to the patients' families at the hospital?""Who said anything about the whole family?"Upon hearing Serena’s words, Etchen curled his lips in disdain. "This is your responsibility. Of course, you should go alone!""Etchen, watch your mouth!"Hailey turned her head and pretended to glare at Etchen.Then, she tu
Hearing this, Etchen sneered and shook his head, "You were the one who said earlier that you tried everything and nothing worked.""Now we've found another solution for you. Instead of thanking us, you're asking what we should do?"He glanced at Serena, his face full of disdain."Etchen, your sister is doing this for the good of Lloyd Group. You can't talk to her like that!"Seeing this, Hailey waved her hand to interrupt Etchen. She then turned her head back to Serena and said, "I think kneeling down and apologizing would really show our sincerity!""If the patient's family understands us and accepts our apology, we should follow what you said and give them some compensation, to win more forgiveness!""In this way, it would be good for Lloyd Group! Who knows, because of their forgiveness, Lloyd Group might be able to get through this crisis."Hailey spoke earnestly."But if even kneeling down and apologizing can't win their forgiveness, then I think no matter what we do, they
Sebastian did not want Liam to feel that the Hensworth Group was entirely useless."Sir, there's no need for this."Hearing this, Liam froze for a moment before shaking his head helplessly."I'm not doing this for any reward…""Liam, whether or not you expect a reward, everything that's happened is what we should do."Despite Liam's words, Sebastian's expression remained stern as he firmly stated his stance."As for other matters, don't worry about them! In any case, we won't let you take this two billion for nothing!""Alright then."Faced with this situation, Liam could only nod in agreement.Looking at Sebastian, he continued, "But, Mister Hensworth, your back injury can't wait any longer. I'll teach you that boxing routine I mentioned earlier. Practice it daily, and within three months, your back will improve significantly…"However, before Liam could finish, Sebastian interrupted him."Liam, as I've said, there's no rush with the boxing."Displaying his stubborn side, Se
Janell also bowed to Liam in gratitude.At this moment, aside from this gesture, they truly did not know how else to express the excitement and gratitude they felt inside."Liam, I... I really don't know what to say!"Standing at the back, Sebastian shook his head, a wry smile flashing across his face. "All I can say is, knowing you has been this old man's good fortune!"Liam's actions had left Sebastian completely impressed, both in body and soul."Old man, listen to yourself!"Hearing Sebastian's words, Liam could not help but shake his head and chuckle. "In a bit, I'll still have to teach you boxing!"The decision to transfer money to the Hensworth Group this time was not solely because of Valerie. It was also influenced by Sebastian, this intriguing old man who had earned Liam's favor.After saying a few words to Sebastian, Liam turned to look at Charles."You won't be forcing Valerie to marry anymore, will you?" Liam asked with a smile."Of course not! Definitely not!"
Sebastian was not lying.Even though their Hensworth Group was a well-known name in South City, in front of Liam, Valerie was truly insignificant."Luck or no luck…"Hearing the murmurs from those around him, Liam showed a faint, helpless smile.The sudden shift in tone from the Hensworth family left him feeling slightly out of place.However, at that moment, Liam seemed to think of something.He turned his head to look at Charles and asked again, "Still, the question I asked earlier—are you sure you don't need my help?""I…"The moment Charles heard Liam's words, his body trembled.His mind flashed back to his previous conversation with Liam. At the time, Liam had asked him the exact same question.Back then, Charles had dismissed Liam's offer entirely, not taking him seriously.After all that had happened since then, Charles finally understood the weight of Liam's words back then."We…"Struggle flickered across Charles's face.Although the issues with Union Finance and
After all, the fact that Liam knew medicine was something she had never known!And Liam’s response confirmed her suspicions.This left Valerie, who thought she had already understood Liam, feeling a great sense of frustration."V-Valerie…"Just as Valerie’s mind was filled with countless thoughts, Sebastian’s voice suddenly rang out. He looked at Valerie nervously and said, "You... you should treat Liam better!""Liam being interested in you is a blessing for our Hensworth family.""If it weren’t for him, our Hensworth Group would’ve been finished this time…"Sebastian was filled with shock. He too was not sure how to communicate with Liam and instead chose to speak directly to Valerie."Yeah, Valerie, at the start, it was your mom and dad’s fault! You need to make sure you get along well with Liam!""That’s right! You can’t act petty in front of him!"Hearing Sebastian’s words, Charles and Janell both shook, suddenly becoming alert. They followed Sebastian’s words, quickly ur
"What...?"As soon as Valerie's voice rang out, the entire villa fell into an abrupt stillness. The Hensworth family members stared wide-eyed, their gazes fixed on Valerie, their expressions full of disbelief!"Valerie... why... why didn't you tell us about this sooner..."Charles stammered, trying to say something."I wanted to, but you never gave me a chance," Valerie said, a look of grievance flashing across her face."What..."Charles's vision darkened, and he staggered back a step!The shock from the message that Liam had sent, announcing the acquisition of Union Finance, had not yet worn off. And now, Valerie's words hit them like a depth charge, exploding violently in their hearts!The intense impact made the Hensworth family members tremble with shock!The charity foundation that caused such a stir in Qyn Province, whose listed medicine had captured the entire Hestian market in just three weeks, making it nearly impossible to obtain, was actually Liam's?The mysteriou
Everything, all of it, made the Hensworth family feel an inexplicable sensation!It seemed like the real reason behind the trouble faced by Union Finance was not the financial crash, but rather some targeted attack!The moment this thought crossed their minds, the Hensworth family members shuddered.The next moment, they suddenly looked up, their eyes filled with horror as they stared at Liam.They were not stupid!If there was any connection to everything happening, there could only be one answer!"Why are you all staring at me?"Feeling the eyes of the Hensworth family members on him, Liam was taken aback and asked, "Didn’t I already tell you about Union Finance’s situation?""Why are you still so shocked?"He looked at them with confusion."Kid..."Hearing Liam’s words, Sebastian's old face went pale, and for a moment, he seemed dazed!After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he stammered, "Union Finance... their situation... you... you..."Under the intense shock, Sebast
"You... what do you mean by that?"Upon hearing Liam's words, Sebastian was momentarily stunned. He had no idea what this young man was suddenly talking about!What did he mean by saying that once the bodyguards returned, Lloyd Group would cease to exist?Lloyd Group, which spanned across the entire Qyn Province with a powerful background, had been doing booming business lately. How could it just disappear like that?Sebastian knew that Liam’s idea was, in theory, quite good. After all, if Lloyd Group were to disappear, the Nosh family would suffer a huge blow, and they would have no time to cause trouble for them in the short term.However, the idea of Lloyd Group disappearing was nothing more than a beautiful fantasy. It was impossible!It was not just Sebastian.Charles and Janell were also stunned after hearing Liam’s words.To be honest, after experiencing the events earlier, their impression of Liam had already changed quite a bit.As the current head of the Hensworth fa
"Sigh…"Sebastian listened to Liam’s words, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed heavily before speaking, "But even if you want to take action, you should leave no trace!"Although he had not expected Liam to suddenly take such drastic measures, Sebastian still understood the situation to some extent. After all, even he, an old man, was so furious at Godfrey’s earlier words that he could barely contain himself. It was needless to say how someone like Liam, a young man, would feel!Moreover, Godfrey had been threatening Liam not long ago. But Sebastian still felt that Liam had not thought this through completely.Sebastian, after all, was the man who had built the Hensworth family’s foundation, and he had a certain ruthless streak in him. He believed that now that Liam had already taken action, he should not have let those two bodyguards go back."Leave no trace behind!" he thought. Even those two bodyguards should not be spared. Who knows, the truth of Godfrey’s death might s
"Ugh…"Godfrey's body shuddered, his eyes flashing with intense unwillingness. He struggled, as if trying to say something, but not a word escaped his lips.Finally—Bang!A dull thud echoed as Godfrey’s body slammed heavily onto the ground, lifeless.Even in his wildest dreams, he could not have imagined—In South City, someone would actually dare to kill him!In Godfrey's mind, with Union Finance's status in the Qyn Province, it was inconceivable that anyone would dare act against him. Liam had broken his leg earlier, which was already outrageous enough!Otherwise, he would not have arrogantly declared moments ago, threatening to grind Liam's bones to dust unless he fled immediately.Who could have guessed—From the very beginning, Liam had no intention of letting Godfrey go!What Union Finance?What powerful connections in Juneau?To Liam, none of that mattered in the slightest."What now?"Liam stood up, casually tossing the dagger to Bluebird before turning to face
