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 "If we really followed your cautious approach and hadn't withdrawn the money, who knows who'd have their hands on it now?""Sigh…"Ronald did not respond, only letting out a soft sigh.
Not long after, three people walked out of the South City Bank headquarters, beaming with joy."Mom, didn't I tell you it wouldn't be a problem?"Leading the way, Etchen beamed with pride. "Once we decided to invest in their multi-year financial products, they had no choice but to increase our returns accordingly. We're VIP clients, after all!""Look at this—keeping the funds in the South City Bank yields better returns than leaving it in the Etchen Group. I just don't understand where Serena gets the nerve to act so arrogant in front of us!"Mentioning Serena brought a flash of irritation across Etchen's face."Exactly!"Standing beside him, Hailey could not help but grin from ear to ear. "Who would've thought withdrawing the money this time would turn out to be such a blessing in disguise!""Sigh…"Only Ronald let out a faint sigh after hearing what Hailey and Etchen said.Although the returns were indeed impressive, Ronald still felt something wasn't quite right about the w
However, Liam was not interested in dealing with the three members of the Lloyd family, but Hailey and the others clearly had different ideas."Well, well, look who it is!"Etchen, stepped directly in front of Liam, speaking with a mocking tone. "Isn't this the famous Liam? Why aren't you hanging out with that rich girl from the Hill family? What brings you to South City Bank all by yourself?""Oh! Don't tell me—did she send you your living allowance this month, and now you're here to withdraw it?"His face was full of scorn as he continued, "I have to hand it to you. Wherever you go, you seem to latch onto a wealthy woman. I could never pull that off!"Lately, because of matters related to Serena, Etchen had been bottling up his anger.Now, seeing Liam, all he wanted was to vent his frustration.After all, Serena used to defend Liam at every turn. Venting his rage on Liam felt like a twisted form of revenge against her.Not to mention, Liam had indeed caused the Lloyd Group a
"All these years, what exactly have you done to help our Lloyd Group?"Hailey looked at Liam with disdain and mocked, "People like you, aside from dragging down Lloyd Group, what else have you done?""After breaking up with Serena, you latched onto that young lady from the Hill family, even relying on her to send you living expenses. You come to the bank to withdraw money, what else could you possibly be doing?"She sneered, her eyes filled with contempt for Liam."Who told you I came to South City Bank to withdraw money that Lucy gave me?"Hearing Hailey's words, Liam frowned tightly."After you got out of prison, you didn't even have a job. If it weren't for relying on women to support you, you'd probably have starved by now!"Before Hailey could respond, Etchen's voice sounded, mocking as he looked at Liam, "You came to South City Bank, not to take the living expenses from that young lady of the Hill family. What else could you be doing?""Heh..." Liam laughed in anger, shaki
They never expected that Liam would be the one to reveal the true reason they came to South City Bank this time!"Could it be that Liam really has some connection with South City Bank?"Ronald's face immediately turned serious. Because if it were not for this reason, how could Liam possibly know such a secret matter?"That traitor, Serena!"However, the next moment, before Ronald could speak, Hailey's angry voice, clenched through gritted teeth, rang out."When we left today, she specifically told us not to tell anyone, but in the end, she turned around and told all of it to Liam, that good-for-nothing!"If we hadn't come to South City Bank today, we would have never known that Serena is still in contact with that good-for-nothing!"Her chubby face was full of intense fury!"Serena..."Hearing this, Ronald's body suddenly stiffened.He also realized. It was extremely unlikely that Liam had any connection with South City Bank!Compared to that possibility, the idea that every
"After causing so much trouble for the Lloyd family all this time, now he dares to curse that we'll lose money from the financial products we bought!"Looking at Liam's back, Hailey's eyes flashed with more disgust as she spat and said, "I must have been blind before to choose such a useless piece of trash as my son-in-law. He's good for nothing!""I never expected Liam to turn out like this."Ronald looked at Liam with a trace of mockery in his eyes. "He doesn't even know his own worth. Doesn't he look at himself? He dares to threaten us like this!""Dad! Mom! I think we shouldn't care too much about Liam right now. After all, he's just an outsider!"At that moment, Etchen's voice rang out. He looked grim, and coldly said, "What we need to do now is go back and ask Serena how she dared to tell all our business to that useless Liam!""Exactly!" Upon hearing this, Hailey's face grew cold. "I'm going back to ask Serena whether she even considers me her mother! How dare she tell tha
"Are you talking about Hailey?"Upon hearing this, Liam finally understood what Fahad meant.However, in the next moment, he narrowed his eyes, and a cold gleam flashed in his gaze. "Is this how South City Bank teaches you to speak?""Heh..."Hearing Liam's words, Fahad froze for a moment, then a look of disdainful mockery appeared on his face. "What has South City Bank taught me? Who are you to point fingers? You're just here to handle a business, what are you even worth!""I'll tell you this: if you don't obediently go take a number, don't blame me for having security throw you out..."He lifted his chin and arrogantly spoke.However, before Fahad could finish his sentence...Slap!Liam raised his hand, and a slap landed hard on Fahad's face.It was a brutal slap!Fahad was instantly stunned!His face began to swell, with a red, five-finger mark clearly visible."I'll teach you the first lesson. No matter what the client is here for, you show respect the moment they arri
It was autumn. It had been drizzling continuously. Raindrops fell on the uneven ground, forming puddles.There was silence at the South City, Third Prison entrance. It seemed like it had been quiet for some time. Soon, the sound of the prison gate opening shattered the silence.A man with a tall figure, an elegant demeanor and sharp eyebrows stepped out of the prison gate. He crushed the puddles beneath his feet as he walked forward slowly. "It's been four years..." he murmured. The man stood at the prison gate, feeling uneasy as he looked up at the sky. A fleeting sense of nostalgia crossed his sharply defined face.It had been four years since he took the blame for his wife's, Serena Lloyd's, family. He had been imprisoned, cut off from the outside world. While recalling his time in prison, he smirked with mixed emotions. He had never imagined having such unbelievable experiences while being imprisoned.His hand subconsciously reached for his waist. On it was a needle case

"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
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'
