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
A thousand thoughts raced through Dianne's mind, but what she needed to do most right now was to get up.However, after several attempts, she still couldn't properly control her body."L-Liam…"Left with no other choice, she lifted her head and looked at Liam."Hm?"Hearing her voice from behind, Liam turned his head.The moment he saw Dianne's condition, he immediately understood what was going on.Liam took a step forward and walked back to her side."I… I can't stand up…"Seeing him approach, Dianne's face flashed with a hint of distress. She spoke with slight embarrassment.Once again, she felt like she was dragging him down."It's fine."Liam shook his head lightly, unfazed, and calmly said, "You overexerted yourself just now and injured your foundation.""Will… will this affect my body?"Hearing that, Dianne's body trembled slightly. She quickly lifted her head, her voice filled with worry.She had never felt this way before—her body felt completely foreign, as if i
Hearing the words beside her, Bluebird turned her head and glanced at Dianne.As a fellow woman, she understood Dianne's thoughts perfectly.At the same time, having witnessed everything that had just transpired, Bluebird was even more aware of the determination Dianne had displayed in making these decisions.However, Bluebird did not care about what Dianne had done, nor would she mention a single word of it to Liam.A shadow does not speak.With that, Bluebird's figure flickered and vanished from the Nosh family's old residence.Moments later—Liam's tall, imposing figure slowly appeared at the entrance of the Nosh family's old residence. He took a step forward and reentered the manor.But before Liam could say anything, his gaze fell upon Dianne, who was slumped on the ground, clearly exhausted. He could not help but pause for a moment.Puzzled, Liam looked to the side.He had no idea what had happened to leave Dianne in such a drained state.But when his eyes fell upon the
At this moment, no one dared to oppose Dianne anymore!"Huh?"Hearing the voice from ahead, Dianne was momentarily stunned, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.For a brief moment, she couldn't quite process what was happening.But when she saw the Nosh family members kneeling on the ground before her, she finally snapped back to reality. A complex expression flickered across her face.Dianne had never imagined that one day, the once-powerful Nosh family of Juneau would be bowing before her, trembling and begging for mercy!"From now on, you are the head of the Nosh family."With that, Dianne casually tossed the bloodstained longsword in her hand to the ground in front of Owen.The reason for choosing Owen as the new head of the Nosh family was simple.Not only was he the first to plead for mercy, but at this moment, he was also the highest-ranking surviving member of the Nosh family.Clang—Hearing the sword clatter onto the ground before him, Owen's body trembled viole
At the very beginning,In Bluebird's understanding, Dianne was indeed as timid as her demeanor suggested.Even though she was unafraid of death and determined to take revenge on the Nosh family, Bluebird saw it as nothing more than Dianne's last resort in utter despair.But now—Watching Dianne move forward in silence, killing without hesitation, even pushing through sheer exhaustion with sheer willpower, Bluebird began to take her more seriously.Dianne was no longer the fragile girl she once was!On the contrary—She might still appear weak, but her ruthless and decisive actions were downright terrifying!In mere moments, dozens of Nosh family members had already fallen at Dianne's hands.At first, she would still ask a few questions. But as time went on, perhaps because she was running out of strength, Dianne became numb. She struck and withdrew her blade in a mechanical rhythm, no longer engaging in any conversation with the Nosh family members.At this moment, she was kil
When Liam was present, he exerted immense pressure on them. But after his departure, they clearly felt much more at ease than before.Especially now, after regaining clarity and hearing Dianne's words, Olley Nosh's heart burned with rage!Having dominated Juneau for so many years and ruled with overwhelming power, the Nosh family had their own pride!Even if Liam's strength was unmatched. Even if the Nosh family was no match for him. Even if Arkem had died right before their eyes.Olley would never agree to surrender so easily!"If Liam had personally come to say this and sought to subdue the Nosh family, we might have considered it!"He lifted his head, his eyes filled with unwavering determination. "But you? Keep dreaming!"A mere orphan from the Brown family—a frail, weak girl—wanted to make the Nosh family submit? What a ridiculous fantasy!"I'm telling you—"He widened his eyes, seemingly about to continue speaking.But in the next instant—Pfft—The sharp sound of a b
No one knew how much time had passed.Only when Dianne was utterly exhausted did her bloodstained longsword slip powerlessly from her hand.At that moment, Arkem's wide eyes had already lost all their luster.To endure for so long after suffering such severe blows—his resilience was truly commendable!It was evident that his usual caution and meticulousness extended not only to his actions but also to the concealment of his true strength. He had done an exceptional job of hiding his capabilities!But unfortunately...No matter how well Arkem hid, in the end, he still encountered Liam.And just like that, Arkem, a formidable figure of the Nosh family in Juneau, fell at the hands of a woman!The once gentle and frail Dianne had actually carried out such a bloody act.One could only imagine how intense the hatred in her heart must have been."Hah..."Letting go of her sword, Dianne let out a long breath.She no longer paid any attention to Arkem, who lay lifeless in a pool of
However, the one who ordered all these actions, the head of the Nosh family, Arkem, had long since forgotten that any of this ever happened, and he did not even know who he was anymore!Everything, absolutely everything, was simply too ironic!But, from this alone, it could be seen that in Dianne's eyes, the things she deeply hated, the things that brought her so much pain, meant nothing at all to the Nosh family!This time, she was lucky to have encountered Liam.But what about the others?What about those who, under the Nosh family's targeting, lost everything—families destroyed, lives ruined, with nothing left?"I am Dianne Brown."Dianne stared coldly at Arkem, her voice icy."Diane... Brown?"Upon hearing this, Arkem froze for a moment before he remembered: "You're from the Brown family... Robin Brown's daughter!""Yes, it's me!"Dianne gritted her teeth and answered."I..."Arkem was quick-witted. The moment he saw Dianne's appearance, he immediately realized what ha
"Alright."Hearing Dianne's response, Liam glanced once more at the people inside the Nosh family's old residence. He nodded slightly. "Then I'll leave it to you."Although he still had some doubts about whether Dianne could handle everything well, since she had given him an answer, he would naturally respect her decision."You handle it."With that, Liam took a step and walked toward the door of the Nosh family's old residence.After taking care of the Nosh family's matters, he didn't want to stay here any longer. Despite the old residence's pleasant environment and its sizable grounds, Liam always felt a bit suffocated.But just as he was about to step outside the door, he suddenly stopped."Bluebird, cooperate with her."Liam turned around and spoke to Bluebird. "If anything unexpected happens, just take care of it."He still couldn't shake off his concerns about Dianne."Yes, Grandmaster Burrey!" Bluebird lowered her head slightly, responding respectfully."Mm." Seeing t
"I... I..."After hearing Liam's words, Dianne, who had been frozen in place with her delicate, frail face filled with shock, couldn't help but tremble violently.Her gaze wavered, but for a moment, she didn't know what to say.Dianne never imagined that she would witness such a scene.She also never thought that Liam would have such strength!Just as Dianne had initially thought, when she followed Liam to the Nosh family, she had already prepared herself for certain death.After all, in the beginning, Dianne had never thought that they would be able to do anything to the Nosh family. The Nosh family in Juneau was an insurmountable mountain to her!But when she saw the remarkable strength of the Bluebird behind Liam, Dianne's heart surged with a glimmer of hope for the first time.She truly believed that with Bluebird's presence, it was very likely they could succeed in their revenge. Dianne also clearly understood where Liam's confidence came from.But who knew, before Dianne
