She lifted her head, a hint of stubbornness flashing in her eyes. "No matter what Lucy thinks, my man cannot be lazy and useless!"But the next moment, Serena seemed to think of something. She looked up at Liam and asked, "Can you accompany me to Faroe Garden today?""Back to Faroe Garden?" Liam was stunned for a moment. He looked at Serena and asked in confusion, "Why are we going back to Faroe Garden now?""Don't we need to deal with this situation?" Liam pointed to the mess at the entrance of the cafe and asked, puzzled."I forgot last time, there's something at Faroe Garden that I meant to give you!"Serena turned around and looked behind her. Due to the intense collision earlier, the staff had been hiding, but now they were cautiously peeking out. "As for the cafe situation, let the staff call the police to handle it...""Then..."Upon hearing this, Liam squinted his eyes. "Let's go."One reason was that he really didn't have anything else to do right now.As for the acti
"Voices?"Hearing this, the male clerk was momentarily stunned. He replied in confusion, "What voices? I didn't hear anything.""Well, maybe I just misheard it?" The female clerk furrowed her brow.When the truck crashed, they had not fully understood what had happened before they felt a massive impact. In panic, they hid behind the bar and did not come out for a long time. At one point, both of them, so terrified that they had lost all courage, did not even dare to lift their heads to look outside.The male clerk kept his hands on his head, huddled in the corner.The female clerk, on the other hand, was somewhat calmer and collected.It was for this reason that when she crouched behind the bar, she always felt as though there were voices coming from the front.However, since the male clerk did not hear anything, it was likely just a hallucination caused by her extreme nervousness."Forget it. Let's just do what the boss said and call the police."With that, the female clerk s
Upon hearing Liam's words, Serena's body trembled. She quickly snapped out of her daze. "Wait a moment, I'll get it for you..."With that, she hurriedly turned and rushed into the room, holding a box, and quickly ran back out."Here!"Serena handed the box to Liam.At that moment, Serena did not even realize that a faint trace of anticipation showed on her face."A record of Lokki Mercy?"Liam paused for a moment as he looked at the contents of the box."Yes! Didn't you used to love Lokki Mercy's opera?" Serena nodded. "This is the last performance record of Lokki Mercy's Peking opera, A Dream in the Garden. It's a rare, limited-edition record, and there might only be this one left in existence.""I had planned to give you this record a long time ago, but I kept forgetting..."She stared intently at Liam.It seemed like she was waiting for something.Liam had always been fond of traditional music rather than popular tunes, and he especially loved Peking opera, with Lokki Mer
At first, Serena had imagined countless reactions that Liam might have upon receiving the Lokki Mercy record.Whether it was surprise, happiness, shock, or even sadness.In her mind, Liam would surely be deeply moved.However, Serena never expected that upon seeing the Lokki Mercy record, Liam would remain so calm, with no reaction at all.It was as if, to Liam, the Lokki Mercy record was something trivial, something that no longer mattered.This left Serena feeling an immense sadness.Her sadness did not stem from Liam no longer liking Lokki Mercy.What truly made Serena sad was that the Liam before her now felt like a complete stranger.She suddenly felt that Liam was no longer the familiar Liam she once knew!And the distance between them had grown further and further apart!Although Serena knew very well that once they divorced, there was no longer any connection between them, she was clear-headed and rational about this fact. But when everything unfolded before her eyes,
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
"Here's what you wanted," Liam said as he handed over the documents to Serena after signing them.He only signed the divorce agreement. Liam did not even glance at all the property transfer documents!Grace reached out and took the documents."Wait!" Just then, Serena sighed softly, reaching into the stack of papers and pulling out one. "This is the transfer agreement of the cafe where we first met." She handed it to Liam. "You may decline everything else to spare your dignity, but please accept this cafe. Consider it our final memory together."You've just been released from prison, and your future won't be easy. This cafe can ensure your livelihood for a lifetime. Consider this my final request."Upon hearing this, Liam shook his head with a smile. He did not say much. He just casually accepted the transfer agreement for the cafe. It was obvious he did not take it seriously from the way he let the agreement get soaked in the rain."Miss Lloyd, shall we go?" Grace, seeing th
When Serena brought the news of her divorce from Liam back home, the Lloyd family erupted in jubilation! To an outsider, it would seem as though the Lloyd family had hit the jackpot.Hailey Allen, Liam's former mother-in-law, was ecstatic and could hardly contain her joy. "Oh, this is wonderful! Finally, the marriage is over!""Yes, it wouldn't even take that long if it weren't for Serena insisting on waiting until Liam was released from prison.""If Serena hadn't divorced that ex-convict, he would have continued to burden our Lloyd family! This time, Serena finally made the right choice!"Sam Lloyd, Serena's uncle, and other relatives like Charice Lloyd were present, all filled with excitement and chatter.It was hard to imagine that four years ago, when Liam was imprisoned, it was the same crowded room, but everyone looked sad and grateful, as if Liam were their savior!In just four short years, everything had changed. Whether it was ironic or resigned was unclear."Serena,
Meanwhile, Liam stood by the floor-to-ceiling window at the Havenwood Hotel in South City, gazing blankly at the bustling traffic below. Even now, he had not fully recovered from the emotions of his divorce. Who would have thought a loving relationship would end that way? Just moments ago, his former mother-in-law had even contacted him, asking for his address, saying she wanted to see him.Four years in prison and not a single visit from anyone in the Lloyd family. What meaning did it hold now for them to visit to see him?Liam let out a soft sigh. Then, he turned to look at the crumpled coffee shop transfer agreement lying on the table. "A lifetime of worry-free living?" he mused, recalling what Serena said with a sarcastic smile. He reached out and tore the agreement to shreds.At that moment, Liam's phone suddenly rang. Although arrangements had been made for him before his release, only a few people had his phone number.Frowning slightly, Liam answered the call. There

Liam was not clear about the thoughts in Serena's heart.After hearing Serena's words, he did not say much, because Liam knew that whatever he said, Serena probably wouldn't believe him."Who could have thought that the accident would happen so quickly…"However, from the very beginning, Serena probably did not expect a response from Liam.After speaking, she turned her head and looked at the mess ahead. Her gaze lingered for a moment on the bodies of the Monochrome Duo Wraiths, before she gently sighed.Even now, she still believed that the reason she and Liam had survived was simply because of good luck.However...After experiencing the terror of life and death, especially the feeling when she thought she and Liam had died together, Serena was ultimately affected.Suddenly, she remembered the scene earlier, when Liam had held her tightly in his arms."You..." Serena suddenly lifted her head, an impulse driving her to look at Liam and ask, "What happened with that young lady
"You..."He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something to the unconscious Serena.However, at that moment."Mmm..."Serena let out an unconscious groan.Seeing this, Liam stopped his attempt to speak.The next moment, Serena opened her eyes."Liam… Liam…" After Serena woke up, she looked at Liam and uttered a confused phrase, "Did we… die?"In her last memory, the truck was charging toward Liam, and she had tried to push him away but failed. Ultimately, she was held in his arms.From the situation of the truck charging at them, it seemed that both of them should have died!"Dead?" Hearing this, Liam smiled and shook his head, saying, "How could we have died?""Not… dead?" Serena froze for a moment upon hearing Liam's words, her eyes flashing with astonishment. She struggled to turn her head, looking around.When she saw the chaotic state of the cafe, she froze even more.Especially when she saw the truck's front half, split in two, and the two corpses of the tr
For a moment, White Wraith was deeply worried about the future of the Nosh family.However, no matter what his thoughts were at this moment, as soon as he spoke the name of the Nosh family, their fate had already been sealed."Heh..."Seeing White Wraith's reaction, Liam immediately realized. It seemed that the so-called Nosh family from Juneau did not yet know about his connection with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation. Sending someone to kill him was likely just the first step from the Nosh family of Juneau."They really have some guts," Liam said with a slight smile, but his eyes flashed with a chilling coldness."The Nosh family in Juneau is not weak. Their influence spans all of Hestia. If you want to know more, I can tell you everything..." White Wraith trembled at the coldness in Liam's eyes. Nervously, he spoke again.At this moment, having clearly understood his situation, White Wraith had no intention of resisting. He was willing to say anything!"No need," Liam
The pain of his meridians being crushed.It's something that no human willpower can control!"Heh…" Looking at the situation in front of him, Liam let out a faint laugh.However, he did not say anything. Instead, he lightly flicked his finger, and the streak of golden light that had pierced into White Wraith's brow suddenly returned to Liam's hand."Speak."Only then did he casually say.The intense pain subsided, and White Wraith, gasping heavily, had a pale face, drenched in sweat, his eyes bulging from the severe pain he had just endured!In that moment of excruciating pain, White Wraith had even considered suicide.He had no control over his body, nor the internal energy within him!Before Liam, White Wraith had completely lost control of his body!At this moment, he truly realized that the greatest despair in this world is that even death cannot be sought!"I… I…"White Wraith raised his head to look at Liam, still shaken, his eyes trembling as he spoke directly, "It's
"Ha…"Upon hearing this, White Wraith sneered, a look of disdain flashing across his face. He did not take a single word of what Liam said to heart.His martial arts skills were astonishing, but that did not mean he could do whatever he wanted!You see, when the Nosh family began investing countless resources to cultivate them, they did not just train them in martial arts. They also trained them in assassination, stealth, and even counter-interrogation techniques. Both White Wraith and Black Wraith had undergone such training!Otherwise, they would not have ended up as they were—neither fully human nor truly noble!What's more, after becoming advanced martial arts Masters, their tolerance for pain had reached an inconceivable level!White Wraith did not believe that Liam could do anything to him without saying a word.In the beginning, their despair was only because they feared they would not be able to send the intel about Liam back to Juneau, to Arkem.But now, with no hope l
