However, what Liam said flew over Etchen's head."You don't care about the property? Liam, are you joking with me? You, a former convict, wouldn't qualify to stay in a five-star hotel without my sister's money! How dare a waste like you be so self-righteous?" he sneered. Hailey interrupted Etchen with a wave of her hand. "Etchen, you don't need to waste your breath on him! We all know what kind of person this former convict is. After all, he spent four years in prison. Let's be magnanimous and not bother with these trivial matters."She sat on the sofa, adopting a condescending posture. "Liam, spend your other petty cash as you wish, but I heard that your condition for divorcing Serena is taking over a cafe?""Taking over a cafe?" Liam furrowed his brow. Back then, the cafe was something Serena begged him to keep, and he had no intention of accepting it.How could Hailey twist the truth so easily?"Isn't that right? Let me tell you, Liam, everyone knows their own worth. We would
As the Lloyd Group's business grew larger in recent years, the Lloyd family's tastes for finer things also soared. That was especially true for Hailey, who had seen many good things in her life. However, she could guarantee that she had never seen anything as exquisitely crafted as the object in the bag. Such a masterpiece must be invaluable."Mom! What are you talking about?" Etchen was stunned. Following her gaze, he also noticed the Harvest Union needle pouch placed on the table. He froze, a hint of anger flashing across his face, accompanied by a deep sense of greed. He could not acquire the cafe, but he could get something else."Aren't you two done yet?" Liam looked coldly at the two in front of her."What do you mean if we are done!" Hailey's face darkened as she pointed coldly at the Harvest Union needle pouch. "That bag of golden needles is worth much more than the cafe! So you have been hiding it! If I hadn't gone behind Serena's back and come here, we wouldn't even know
Etchen was immediately stunned. He widened his eyes and shouted, "What the hell are you doing?! He's just a worthless ex-convict, not some Grandmaster! You've got it all wrong." Before Etchen could finish speaking. Smack!A fierce slap landed heavily on his face. "Who do you think you are to disrespect Grandmaster Burrey?" Lucy withdrew her hand as she gazed at him icyly. What? Etchen was dumbfounded. He never dreamed that before he could finish his sentence, he would be greeted with a slap! However, the fiery sting on his face incessantly reminded him that this was all too real! As the young heir of the Lloyd family in South City, he never imagined that he would be slapped by a woman! How could Etchen endure such humiliation? "How dare you hit me?" He raised his head abruptly and angrily. "So what if I hit you?" Lucy looked down on him, not taking Etchen seriously at all. "There is no 'Grandmaster Burrey' you're looking for here, only a worthless ex-convict! But d
"Where did you come from? Where did this crazy woman come from!" Hailey's face went pale with fright. When she saw Etchen lying on the ground, contorting in pain, she screamed even louder. She felt her heart being torn apart. "How dare you beat my son! You crazy woman, you're finished!" She was yelling like a mad dog as she continued, "You dare provoke the Lloyd family. I'll make sure none of you have a good end!""And you! You useless piece of trash!" Hailey turned her head towards Liam, ranting furiously, "Now I finally understand the situation. No wonder you divorced Serena without a care in the world. It turns out you found another woman to support you right after you got out of prison!"You shameless thing! Shameless to the core! You are addicted to living off others. You even found a slut to harm the Lloyd family. Let me tell you, none of you will escape!" Hailey continued to hurl insults."Heh." Lucy suddenly chuckled. She had never seen such a shrew cursing before."Lau
Hailey hastily helped up Etchen and limped toward the door. They were so arrogant when they first arrived, but they left as a disheveled pair. Yet, just before stepping out, Hailey glanced back at Liam and Lucy. There was a mixture of venom and hatred. She exclaimed as soon as she was out, "I knew this useless waste had an audacious streak! Turns out, he got involved with this despicable woman. He even watched as I was humiliated and as Etchen had his leg broken!""He's addicted to living off women!" Hailey gritted her teeth, her voice dripping with scorn. "Heartless and despicable, he even dared to call me 'mom' before! Sooner or later, I'll make him repay every bit of suffering he's caused me!"And that despicable woman, don't think you can escape! Thinking you can do as you please just because you have a few bodyguards? How dare you challenge our Lloyd family in South City, acting so arrogantly! I'll ensure you regret ever setting foot in this world!" she continued.She saw t
As Liam and Lucy were on the road, something was unfolding at South City's Golden Cross Hospital.Hailey held Etchen in the lobby, hurling curses left and right."Do you even know who I am? I'm Serena Lloyd's mother from the Lloyd family! I've had dinner with your hospital director! Have you seen how injured my son is? What gives you the right to deny him admission?! Let me tell you, if anything happens to my son because of your delay in treatment, I won't spare any of you!"With hands on her hips, she continued unabated, "Do you all not care about your careers anymore?""Madam, we understand your situation and are not denying your son admission. Your son's injuries may look severe, but they are not critical. He can receive adequate treatment in a regular ward," intervened Gunter, the hospital's administrative manager. "What regular ward?! Do you even understand who we are? Do you think a regular ward can provide the best medical care for my son? Let me tell you, we demand a VIP
"I have no idea," Ronald said as he shook his head."Forget it. If we can't stay, we will just leave," Hailey said."Staying in a regular ward won't make much of a difference. The director, Mister Lopez, has already arranged a doctor for us!" Hailey's eyes darted around as she came up with another idea. "Ronald, do you think we might have a chance to meet the VIP staying in the intensive care unit of this hospital?""We'll see about that," Ronald said, shaking his head. Despite the considerable status of the Lloyd family, staying in the same hospital as the big shot in the special care ward did not necessarily guarantee a meeting. However, he did not voice these thoughts to Hailey. "Right now, the most important thing is to get you and Ethen treated!""There sure have been a lot of big shots from the capital lately," Hailey muttered.Speaking of big shots from the provincial capital, she could not help but recall the dozen or so Maybachs with provincial license plates parked d
As Liam made her way to Julian's hospital room, Serena rushed to the hospital in a fluster. Serena pushed open the door to the ward and saw Etchen lying on the hospital bed. His legs were encased in plaster, and his face contorted in agony. On the other side, Hailey lay on another bed, groaning incessantly.It was supposed to be a single occupancy room, yet Hailey, despite not suffering severe injuries, had somehow managed to secure another bed. According to the doctor's diagnosis, Etchen's fractures were not severe, but due to the extensive area of injury, he was covered with a large plaster cast. It was a rather daunting sight. Meanwhile, Hailey continued to moan in pain.Serena's eyes welled up. "Mom! Etchen! How did you both get hurt like this?""Ouch, it hurts so much!" Hailey's groans intensified upon noticing Serena's presence.Turning to face Serena with a face full of grievance, Hailey said, "Serena, I have been beaten up, Etchen's legs are both broken, and you only ju
