As the Lloyd Group continued to expand under Serena's leadership, the status of the Lloyd family members soared. Etchen, who had always been useless and aimless, took advantage of the Lloyd family's influence to gather a group of useless friends and roam around. Ordinary people would be afraid to provoke them.

"You lazy kid, stop fooling around! You're not a kid anymore. Why don't you do something meaningful?" Hailey pretended to scold Etchen but could not help but smile.

"I do want to do something! It's just that my sister won't let me run a company. Don't worry, Mom, once I take over the cafe, I'll make something of myself!" Etchen shrugged.

Soon, the two arrived at the door of Liam's room, according to the room number.

"He is even living in the presidential suite!" Seeing the room where Liam lived, the two widened their eyes in disbelief, feeling angry.

Not long after Liam hung up the phone, there was a sudden banging on the door.

"So soon?" Liam frowned. He thought it was Lucy who had arrived, but the intense knocking was particularly rude.

Putting down his phone, Liam approached the door. He was taken aback when he saw the two people standing outside.

"Mom and Etchen, why are you both here?" Liam originally thought only Hailey was coming. He momentarily forgot to address them differently after years of habit.

A touch of disgust flashed across Hailey's originally gloomy face when she heard that. However, before she could say anything, Etchen raised an eyebrow and looked at Liam with disdain. "What? You're staying in the presidential suite now, and we can't come?"

With that, Etchen and Hailey squeezed past Liam and arrogantly sat on the sofa in the suite.

Liam furrowed his brow. He had always known what kind of person his former brother-in-law was. If it were not for Serena, Liam would not have chosen to take the blame for him and ended up in prison.

However, he said nothing since Etchen and Hailey came to visit him.

Hailey spoke as she sat on the sofa, casting a sidelong glance at Liam, "Liam, I know about you and Serena.

"I figured you would have known. You must know that our divorce isn't solely Serena's fault. Don't blame her for it." Liam let out a sigh, intending to explain a few things to Hailey. Before he could finish, Hailey interrupted him.

"What do you mean it's not just Serena's fault? The divorce is definitely because of you! You've just been released from prison. How could you possibly be worthy of Serena? If Serena hadn't disobeyed me, I would have had you two divorced long ago while you were still in prison!" Hailey said impatiently, looking irritated.

"You advised her to get a divorce while I was in prison?" Liam was taken aback.

He had assumed that Hailey had come specifically to console him. After all, his mother-in-law had expressed her fondness for him more than once since they got married. Liam had not even considered that Hailey would act this way!

"Then what? Keep dragging down our Lloyd family if you stayed? You had no ambition even before going to prison. Can't you be more self-awareness?" Hailey sneered.

"What self-awareness could he possibly have? If he had any self-awareness, he wouldn't be shamelessly using our family's assets to stay in a five-star hotel!" Etchen mocked.

"What are you talking about? What does me staying in a hotel have to do with you?" Liam's face darkened.

"What does it have to do with us? If it weren't for the property Serena gave you, could a convict like you afford a five-star hotel? Furthermore, you're not allowed to call me 'mom' anymore. Are you afraid others won't know you were once married to Serena? Don't be so shameless. Serena deserves better than you!" Hailey's eyes widened as she said sharply.

"Serena must be cursed to have a former husband like you!"

Liam felt a surge of anger rising in his chest.

Hailey's visit had nothing to do with comforting him. It was to humiliate him.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in Serena's property! I don't even care about those things. Furthermore, staying in this hotel has nothing to do with the Lloyd family. If you're worried about me spending your money, you can leave!" Liam said, taking a deep breath to calm himself down.

Liam had refrained from taking action, merely asking them to leave. It was evident that he was already doing his best to control his temper.

    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

"Liam really isn’t like the rumors say.""I honestly think that being with him is an honor for our Hensworth family. Please, you have to trust me!" she pleaded desperately."Grandpa just had a chat with Liam earlier. Why don’t you ask him? Doesn’t he also think Liam is great? He’s truly amazing.

    Hearing Valerie's voice, Liam could not help but turn his head, looking at Valerie with surprise in his eyes. Although he knew that her current actions were merely an excuse to avoid marrying that Mister Nosh, her performance truly startled him. If it were not for the prior agreement between him and Valerie, he would have almost believed what she was saying was true. Valerie's acting skills were indeed exceptional.As for the Hensworth family's prejudices, Liam did not care. He was well aware that, thanks to the propaganda from the Lloyd family, his reputation in South City was hardly good. However, none of this could affect him. A dragon soaring high in the sky would never be concerned about the buzzing of flies. But it seemed that the rumors from the Lloyd family were causing some trouble for Valerie.

    He immediately turned his head to look at Sebastian and said, "At your age, you usually have the best perspective. What happened this time? Why do you trust someone you just met so much?"That's because you didn't see the performance of this kid just now!"Sebastian was very dissatisfied with Charles's words. He patted his waist and said, "If it weren't for this kid just now, I wouldn't be able to stand up until now! He wants to teach me a set of boxing techniques that can heal my old man's back injury. Can you do that?""This…"Hearing Sebastian's words, Charles was taken aback. He really did not know that so much had happened just now. Charles was not a foolish person stuck in his ways. Seeing Sebastian's attitude, he could still determine that the young man in front of him had some ability.However, even so, Charles's thoughts did not change."What's your name?" Charles turned his head to look at Liam and asked. This was the first time he had inquired about Liam's name since e

    "It's probably because Valerie didn't want to expose our relationship too much before."Liam shook his head.In fact, he felt helpless too. After all, just ten minutes ago, he had agreed to Valerie's request to pretend to be her boyfriend.Charles might have heard about him somewhere before. At most, it was probably back when they were in school, listening to Valerie talk about herself.Upon hearing Liam's answer, Charles's expression grew even darker.He looked at Valerie with dissatisfaction, then turned back to Liam, straightforwardly asking, "What do you do for a living, and what does your family do?""Charles, how can you talk like that!"Seeing this scene unfold before him, Sebastian's voice rang out first before Liam could respond."This young man is quite capable; he just helped me with my waist injury. After all, he is Valerie's boyfriend, so you should speak more politely!"He shot an unhappy glance at Charles."I…"Hearing this, Charles was taken aback, and a look

    Sebastian no longer harbored much doubt about Liam's words. Looking at the scene before her, Valerie's face was filled with astonishment. She had never imagined it.Aside from being knowledgeable in medicine, Liam also knew martial arts! This revelation sparked intense curiosity in Valerie's heart. Hadn't he been in prison for a few years? How did he come out not only with such an extraordinary background but also with skills in both medicine and martial arts?The key point was that Valerie knew her grandfather, Sebastian, very well. Although he appeared kind and gentle, he actually had high standards! She had never seen anyone, except Liam, who could make Sebastian so satisfied upon their first meeting.Unfortunately… Liam was not actually her real boyfriend. Valerie lowered her head slightly, her eyes dimming a bit.However, at the moment, no one seemed too focused on Valerie. Sebastian eagerly began asking Liam about martial arts.

But now, she was discovering that Liam even knew medicine?"It's just a little knowledge," Liam said with a faint smile in response to Valerie's remark."Kid, what you said just now matches my situation perfectly." At that moment, Sebastian's voice rang out as he looked straight at Liam. "Your medical skills seem far from just ‘a little' knowledge!""It's just a bit of understanding," Liam replied humbly, shaking his head."I don't care what you really understand!" Sebastian continued. "Since you're Valerie's boyfriend, that makes us family!"Waving his hand, Sebastian said, "I won't be polite with you. Since you noticed my back pain, you must have some understanding of it! Do you perhaps have any way to relieve this old back pain of mine?"He sighed deeply. "For years now, this back pain has really been the bane of my existence!""T

    In the villa's yard, an elderly man with a lean frame and vibrant spirit was holding a shovel, tending to the plants and flowers in the garden. Hearing a sound from outside, he lifted his head and, upon seeing Valerie, instantly revealed a warm smile."Valerie, you're back?" he said, stretching his back as he stood up. "I've already talked to your parents! If you don't want to get married, you don't have to. Our Hensworth family hasn't fallen to the point where we need to rely on selling off our granddaughter to advance!""No need to be too upset with your parents," he added, looking at her with a fond smile."Grandpa!" Valerie replied playfully upon hearing his words.The elderly man, tending to the garden, was Sebastian Hensworth, Valerie's grandfather, and the one who initially established the foundation of the Hensworth family."Oh? So our Valerie wasn't lying after all!"At that moment, Sebastian finally noticed Liam standing behind Valerie. He froze for a moment, then his s

    "This..."Hearing this, Liam was momentarily stunned.When he first arrived, he thought something must have gone wrong with Valerie's family. He really had not expected it to be this! No wonder Valerie had said over the phone that only he could help her now!"Liam, I really don't want to be with that Mister Nosh..."Seeing Liam's reaction, Valerie's bright eyes reddened again, showing her disappointment.Valerie had always been lively and passionate, with a love for freedom since childhood. This time, in addition to her parents pressuring her quite harshly, there was another reason: she had someone in her heart that she truly liked! Otherwise, she would not be feeling so resistant and helpless against her family's arrangement."Then... alright."Seeing this, Liam could only sigh helplessly and nod. He could tell that Valerie truly had no other options in this situation."You're agreeing to help me?"Hearing Liam's words, Valerie suddenly looked up, her beautiful eyes lightin

    "What's wrong?"Hearing this, Liam furrowed his brow."Can we… talk in person?"Valerie replied in a low voice, her tone even faintly tinged with a bit of a sob."Then let's meet at the café on Southeast Avenue," Liam said after a pause.A moment later, outside the café on Southeast Avenue.Just after getting out of the taxi, Liam noticed the Porsche Cayenne parked by the entrance.He pushed open the door and went inside.There, he saw Valerie already seated. Her delicate and pretty face was filled with dejection, and her bright eyes were slightly red.Clearly, Valerie had just been crying."What's going on?"Sitting in front of her, Liam narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.In his memory, Valerie had always been a positive and optimistic girl; he had rarely seen her look this down."Liam…"Seeing him appear, Valerie lifted her head, her gaze trembling, showing a sense of helplessness."What exactly is going on?"Seeing this, Liam frowned and said, "Whatever you're goi
