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
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 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
At first, she brought Liam back just to pretend to be her boyfriend. But she never imagined that a series of events like this would follow."Alright, I'm heading out. Let's catch up another time."With a bright smile, Liam bade farewell to the Hensworth family members and turned to leave their villa.Since he had promised Valerie to pose as her boyfriend, he needed to play the part convincingly.As the Hensworth family watched Liam's tall and confident figure disappearing, a hint of awe flickered in their eyes.Even though they had just interacted with Liam normally, their hearts were still shaken by the earlier revelations.For a long while, they could not recover from the shock.Who would have thought?The man so despised by the Lloyd family, Liam, turned out to wield such power and influence. And yet, this remarkable person was willing to stay in their small South City!"With the current state of the Hensworth Group, how much equity would Liam's 2 billion yuan buy?"Sudden
In the name of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, the acquisition of Union Finance was completed successfully. Only then did Lucy realize that the scope of Union Finance's business was far more extensive and its foundation deeper than they initially thought!Although this time, the acquisition relied on the vast cash flow of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation to crush Union Finance, the process was not without challenges.In fact, if not for finding a loophole in one of Union Finance's accounts, the acquisition might not have gone so smoothly. The entire operation against Union Finance unfolded with overwhelming force, catching them completely off guard. Otherwise, the outcome could have been unpredictable.After the acquisition, Lucy also discovered subtle ties between the Nosh family and the capital city. However, by the time the Nosh family reacted, it was already too late!Upon taking over Union Finance's related businesses, Lucy originally planned to make a trip back
All of this filled Serena's heart with overwhelming rage!She never expected that Hailey and the others would act so selfishly!"Serena... we…"Hearing Serena's words, Ronald froze, a trace of embarrassment flashing across his face.He never thought that what they had done in secret would be discovered by Serena!Ronald shot a dissatisfied look at Hailey.He had urged Hailey countless times to return the money quickly, but Hailey, due to various reasons, kept delaying.It was not just Ronald.Hailey and Etchen also showed a hint of unease on their faces after hearing Serena's words."What were you all thinking?"Seeing their reactions, Serena's anger flared up even more. Her almond-shaped eyes widened as she spoke."We were just worried that if Lloyd Group went bankrupt, at least we'd have some money left in hand," Hailey muttered softly.Recently, Serena's influence within Lloyd Group had been on the rise.And this matter, to begin with, was indeed Hailey and the others'
"Besides, after we saw that Lloyd Group weathered the crisis, we were already planning to move the money back to the reserve fund."Hailey raised her head in displeasure, pursed her lips, and said, "We were just delayed by a few days because of some issues, and look at your attitude now! Is this how you talk to your parents?""Mom! Regardless of whether you plan to transfer the money back to the reserve fund, it was wrong of you to take it out during Lloyd Group's crisis in the first place!"Serena insisted on her point."Wrong? What's wrong about it?"Hearing this, Hailey glared fiercely, raising her voice. "This money belongs to the three of us. We can put it wherever we want! Now you're trying to control where our money goes, just like you're trying to control everything at Lloyd Group!""I've never seen a daughter like you!"Anger contorted Hailey's chubby face. "Every day, it's just you picking fights with me and your dad. Is this how you repay us?""Mom… that's not what I
There were still plenty of matters to handle.No time to waste arguing with Etchen!"Hmph!"Watching Serena leave, Etchen snorted disdainfully."Look at that! Serena's really becoming more and more unruly!"Even after Serena left, Hailey's anger had not subsided. Turning to Ronald, she snapped, "She's getting too bold! Just over this tiny issue, she dares to scold us now!"She firmly believed all of this was Serena's fault."Though, to be fair, this time, we did mishandle things a little," Ronald admitted, his face clouded with a tinge of complexity. He spoke in a low voice, "After all, the way we acted back then, we really didn't consider other factors…"He had a relatively clear understanding of the situation."Who had time to think about all that back then?" Hailey glared at Ronald angrily. "If we really followed your cautious approach and hadn't withdrawn the money, who knows who'd have their hands on it now?""Sigh…"Ronald did not respond, only letting out a soft sigh.
No wonder no one stopped them when Liam and she entered the Sky Harmoney Villa—it turned out they had already been marked from the moment they stepped in!But how did Liam figure it out?And why would just the two of them attract such a grand setup?Dianne turned her head, her eyes trembling as she looked at Liam.No matter what was going on, one thing was certain: they were trapped.There was a very real chance they were going to die here.Just then—Bang!The heavy copper-clad gates of the Nosh family's old residence suddenly swung open.At the same time, a voice filled with authority, yet laced with fury, rang out from within."I never thought you'd be audacious enough to take things this far!"Standing beneath the courtyard's central skylight, Arkem glared at Liam with undisguised hatred. "You killed my grandson, Andy, and now you've come straight to Sky Harmoney Villa to find me?"Liam shook his head and said indifferently, "I'm busy. Naturally, I have to make good use
"Li… Liam…"Dianne hurriedly ran up to Liam, grabbing his arm as she gasped for breath. "We should head back first," she urged."Since Sky Harmoney Villa can be entered and exited freely now, we can take some time to prepare. Even if we really want to kill Arkem, our chances of success will be much higher if we plan carefully instead of acting on impulse!"Dianne was serious.It was clear that under Liam's influence, and now that they could come and go from Sky Harmoney Villa freely, she was truly considering the possibility of killing Arkem.However, such a thing required meticulous planning!Acting recklessly like Liam had today was definitely not an option."No need."Just then, Liam's calm voice rang out."We're already here.""Here?"Dianne froze upon hearing this. She lifted her head and looked ahead.Unknowingly, they had already reached the depths of Sky Harmoney Villa. They now stood in front of a grand estate, adorned with intricate carvings, towering walls, and a
Liam's stubbornness made Dianne furious!She wanted to see just how Liam planned to get himself killed!Seeing this, Liam could only shake his head helplessly.But knowing that no matter what he said, Dianne wouldn't believe him, he didn't bother explaining.Soon, Liam and Dianne arrived near Sky Harmoney Villa. From a distance, they could see the inner city of Juneau, with its centuries-old city walls standing tall.Sky Harmoney Villa was situated right at the foot of these walls.Reaching this place meant they had officially stepped into the heart of Juneau!Despite its name, Sky Harmoney Villa wasn't an actual manor. Instead, it was an elite residential district composed of interconnected courtyard houses, with no defined walls or gates.After all, ordinary people could never set foot here!The name 'Sky Harmoney' was coined by a renowned feng shui master, who determined that the geography of this area was ideal for gathering energy.And indeed, this place was worthy of be
Stepping out of the car, Liam walked straight toward the Sky Harmoney Villa.Seeing this, Dianne's face flashed with urgency, and she hurriedly followed behind him."We've arrived at Sky Harmoney Villa, but we probably won't even be able to get in. Are you still determined to go?"She tried to persuade Liam as they walked. "I've been talking to you so much, and you haven't listened to a single word!""Can't you calm down and think for a second? Do you really believe this will work?"Frustration surfaced on Dianne's delicate face. "What you're doing now is no different from throwing your life away!"She truly could not understand why Liam seemed so possessed, dead set on seeking revenge against Arkem!Revenge was one thing, but charging in recklessly like this was nothing short of suicide!"The one dying won't be me. It will be Arkem."Liam turned to look at Dianne, a faint smile on his lips. "If you're really worried, then just wait for me here. I should be back soon.""Back
"You..."Inside the car, Dianne stared at Liam, speechless.At first, when Liam told her that he knew where Arkem was, she did not think much of it.But now, the moment she heard the words "Sky Harmoney Villa," she realized that the man beside her might actually know Arkem's whereabouts.And they were now truly on a path to their deaths."Can you tell me what you're thinking?"Dianne sighed, deciding to try persuading him. "You know Arkem has been looking for you all this time. So why are you walking straight into his hands?"She had always thought of herself as reckless.But standing beside Liam, she felt like her impulsiveness was nothing in comparison.Even when she sought revenge, she had never once considered going directly after Arkem."It's precisely because he's been looking for me that I have to meet him."Liam turned his head to look at her and replied calmly.Dianne looked at him, her face full of helplessness.She had no idea how to reason with someone like him
"You…"Hearing Liam's words, Dianne was even more stunned. A hint of urgency flashed across her delicate and captivating face. "Even if you know where Arkem is, that doesn't mean you can do anything about him!""Just the two of us? How could we possibly be a match for Arkem!"Dianne was extremely anxious.It was not that she did not want to take action against Arkem, but Liam's proposal was simply too outrageous!Who was Arkem?How could they possibly make a move against him?Even dealing with Andy was already a huge risk, let alone targeting Arkem, the head of the Nosh family!She could not understand.Even if Arkem wanted this young man's life, he shouldn't be acting so recklessly!Going after Arkem so rashly was no different from seeking death!"You don't need to do anything."Hearing the anxious voice beside him, Liam turned his head and spoke calmly, "When I kill Arkem, you just need to watch from the side.""You… What's wrong with you?!"Dianne's face grew even more
On the path of seeking revenge on the Nosh family, finding a companion made her heart no longer feel as helpless and lonely as it once had."You just reminded me, if we're going to take revenge on the Nosh family, we must make it unforgettable for them!"With that, she gently clenched her teeth, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes. "Andy is really a good choice, but to take action against Andy, we must make a proper plan!""We can't be as reckless as last time!"Dianne's face was serious. It was clear that she was truly considering the matter of targeting Andy.However, before Dianne could speak again, Liam's voice rang out."Don't bother thinking about targeting Andy."His expression was calm, his tone indifferent."Why?"At his words, Dianne raised her head to look at Liam. "Andy is the eldest grandson of the Nosh family. If something happens to him, it would be the biggest blow to the Nosh family!""Are you afraid?"She furrowed her brow.Liam's reaction disappointed Dian
In the past, Dianne lived a carefree life, like a princess without worries.However, after returning to the country, everything changed!What Dianne couldn't accept the most was that her parents, who had once cherished her, passed away under the torment of the Nosh family. Other members of the Brown family either died or went mad.She went mad trying to find a way to take revenge on the Nosh family.However, the once proud Brown family could never be a match for the powerful Nosh family of Juneau.Now, with Dianne all alone, how could she possibly take on the Nosh family?During her time back in the country, she tried countless methods and made many attempts, but in the end, all were in vain. Not only did she fail, but she also ended up drawing the Nosh family's attention to her existence.The Nosh family of Juneau loomed over her like an endless storm cloud in the sky, bringing Dianne overwhelming despair.She had exhausted all her efforts, but was powerless to resist or escap
Dianne looked at Liam, a helpless expression crossing her face. "I didn't expect that you'd be even more impulsive than I am! I suppose this time, you're lucky."Otherwise, with the strength of the Nosh family, you probably wouldn't have made it out alive."She turned around and glanced at the two scissors that had fallen to the ground, bitterness filling her gaze. "But looking at it now, it seems we both underestimated the situation!"Dianne's slender back was filled with sorrow."Are you seeking revenge on Andy, or other members of the Nosh family?"Looking at the scene before him, Liam's eyes flashed with confusion. He could see Dianne's deep hatred for the Nosh family, but what he did not understand was who exactly her hatred was directed at."As long as they're from the Nosh family, I want to kill them all!""Killing Andy would be the best, but if I can't even kill you, how could I possibly take on the Nosh family's legitimate eldest grandson, who is protected by experts?"
