"I almost thought I got the wrong person!"

Layla's face was filled with joy as she approached Liam. The last time Layla returned to South City, she wanted to see Liam but could not.

Liam also smiled. "Layla, what are you doing here?"

Layla chatted away. "I didn't want to stay at home. I needed some fresh air. Coincidentally, there's a villa for sale in the Hush Purple Gardens. Everyone's busy, so my sister asked me to take a look. Liam, you have no idea. Things at home have been chaotic lately..."

She pouted, wanting to share recent events in the Lloyd family with Liam. However, Layla seemed to sense something and abruptly stopped. In her words, the reason for the chaos in the Lloyd family was Liam.

After Liam was released from prison, the Lloyd family faced numerous setbacks and misfortunes, all of which were blamed on Liam by the family members. They believed Liam's bad luck was affecting the entire family.

The Lloyd family spent their days at home complaining and blaming Liam

    In the distance, a luxurious villa appeared before them. The number '22' was displayed on the plaque by the villa's entrance.Layla looked up at the villa and replied in a muffled voice, "Yes! This is the house I'm here to see."Her delicate face still showed signs of disappointment."The decor is really nice," Liam remarked, trying to steer the conversation away from Serena. He observed the villa. It was bright, spacious, and very elegant. There was also a garden and a swimming pool.A sharp female voice suddenly pierced the air. "Of course, it's nice! Hush Purple Gardens is the best luxury estate in the South City, bar none. Anyone who can afford a house here is among the top in South City!"A woman dressed in high-end clothes and carrying a Chanel bag walked up from behind, accompanied by a man. She wore light makeup and was impeccably dressed, but her sharp eyes gave her an unpleasantly harsh appearance.She looked down at Liam with disdain, her eyes haughtily half-closed.

    Before Layla could speak, Ruby's voice rang out again."Fine. If you won't listen to reason, then so be it! You're hopelessly stubborn. When you end up regretting being with your useless so-called 'brother-in-law', don't come crying to me. Just thinking about him ruins my mood!"Ruby glanced at Liam, her face twisted in a cold sneer. She then grabbed the man beside her and laughed coquettishly."Honey, this is the Liam I mentioned before. He's good for nothing. He used to rely on the Lloyd family. After Serena divorced him, he caused all sorts of trouble for them. We should stay far away from him to avoid any bad luck!""So, it's him."Her husband, Andy Miller, turned to look at Liam. After a dismissive snort, he turned away in disdain."Let's go check out the house."With those words, they strode forward into the villa ahead.Since some of the villas in Hush Purple Gardens were for sale, any client who passed the financial screening could come to view them. Ruby and Andy were

    Ruby scoffed. "Such narrow-mindedness! If you knew that my husband plans to buy this Villa No. 22 for me, worth forty-eight million dollars, you'd probably go insane!"She had just come from the back of the villa when she overheard Liam marveling at the price of the Hush Purple Gardens villa. Ruby found it extremely laughable.The moment Ruby's words registered, Layla's eyes widened abruptly. "Forty-eight million dollars?"As soon as Ruby's words reached her ears, Layla's eyes widened in shock. When Serena first asked Layla to look at Villa No. 22, she did not delve deeply into its price but gave Layla a rough budget of 38 million dollars.That was Serena's maximum limit.However, Layla had never imagined that Villa No. 22 would be priced so high. It was not that the Lloyd Group could not come up with 48 million dollars.The problem was that spending 48 million dollars on a house would severely impact the Lloyd Group's cash flow due to recent upheavals within the Lloyd family.

    Upon hearing Liam's response, Andy froze abruptly."Hahaha!"His piercing laughter echoed through Villa No. 22. Andy laughed so hard that he bent forward and backward, unable to straighten up for a moment."Villa No. 3 is the one you're going to live in? I can't take it anymore! You're really going to make me die of laughter!"He clutched his stomach as he laughed."Ruby told me you were useless, and I understood. After all, there are quite a few useless men like you, but now, I see it's not that you're useless. It's that you're not right in the head! You just speak every single thought!"Was Villa No. 3 the house he was going to live in? Who gave Liam the courage to say something like that?Ruby sneered at Liam after taking a good look at him. "You have no shame at all, daring to spout such nonsense. Do you really think we don't know who you are?"Her face was full of mockery. "Villa No. 3? Even Serena wouldn't dare to say such a thing! I wish she could see what you look like

    "I really admire you, Liam. You can still babble on!" Andy's voice echoed again, staring at Liam with a playful glint in his eyes. "Seeing how persistent you are, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I wonder where Villa No. 3 is. Do we have the honor of visiting your house?""I don't know where Villa No. 3 is," Liam replied casually. It was his first time at Hush Purple Gardens, and despite having the key to Villa No. 3, he felt uneasy about the environment inside Hush Purple Gardens. Even Villa No. 22 was visited with Layla guiding him. He genuinely did not know the location of Villa No. 3.Ruby could not help but burst into laughter. "You crack me up! You don't even know where the house is, yet you claim to live there?! Are you out of your mind? If we met in the South City Center today, would you also claim the entire South City as yours?"Andy also burst into laughter, waving his hand as he chuckled. "Oh my! You can't put it that way! Look at Liam. He doesn't even know wh

    "Let's go, Layla."Watching Ruby and Andy leave the villa, Liam turned and nodded to Layla before stepping to catch up."Liam..."Layla was completely bewildered by Liam. She initially thought Liam's mention of heading to Villa No. 3 was just an excuse to dismiss Ruby and Andy. She had not expected that her brother-in-law was indeed heading to Villa No. 3!What could he possibly want at Villa No. 3? Even the villas before No. 10 in front of Hush Purple Gardens were completely out of their reach.What was going on with her brother-in-law? Was it just to defy Ruby and Andy?Such an action had no meaning. Villa No. 3 could not possibly have any connection to Liam or even the Lloyd family.Even Layla could already foresee the increasingly piercing mockery from Ruby and Andy once they reached the entrance of Villa No. 3.Layla's mind was in chaos, but she did not have time to dwell on it. Liam had already stepped out of the gate, so Layla could only hasten to follow. Though she co

    Andy looked at Liam and sneered. "How can you be so clueless? Didn't you say you lived in Villa 3? How come you don't even recognize your own house?"In front of them stood a mansion-like villa with a prominent number '3' displayed at the entrance."Honey, is this Villa No. 3?"Ruby stared at the villa ahead, her mouth agape. Compared to Villa No. 3, the so-called Villa No. 22 was not even worth mentioning.Andy replied mockingly, "Exactly. Isn't this where Liam lives?"As he spoke, he glanced ahead at the villa, his face showing a hint of yearning. Although Andy also desired to own Villa No. 3, he knew purchasing Villa No. 22 was already his limit. Therefore, he felt infuriated by Liam's audacity, claiming to live in Villa No. 3.The properties before Villa No. 10 in Hush Purple Gardens had a special status. Aside from Villa No. 10 being listed for sale due to an accident, no information was available about the other nine villas.Andy had no idea who lived in Villa No. 3, but

    At that moment, Ruby froze as if strangled, her eyes fixed on Villa No. 3 with its door ajar. Her face flushed crimson, rendering her speechless."What..."Andy's eyes widened in disbelief, his gaze trembling uncontrollably ahead. They could not fathom it, not even in their wildest dreams. Liam had actually opened the door to Villa No. 3.Andy and Ruby were utterly bewildered as they observed the luxurious elegance within Villa No. 3. Could it be? Was Liam, that useless fellow, really residing in Villa No. 3?How could that be? He did not even know where Villa No. 3 was located!Ruby and Andy were dumbfounded. It was not just them. Upon witnessing the scene, Layla trembled violently. "He... He opened the door?"Layla's delicate face was filled with astonishment, her mind a blank slate. What on earth was happening?Andy's voice erupted, his eyes wide with disbelief and resentment as he charged toward Liam."It's impossible! This absolutely can't be! I don't believe it! How c

    "I…"Hearing this, Charles was momentarily stunned.But in the end, he shook his head and said, "Mister Nosh, if Union Finance truly can't approve a loan for the Hensworth Group, then so be it."We'll figure out another way…"Charles's voice was low and heavy. At first, he genuinely believed Godfrey wanted to be with Valerie. But now it was clear Godfrey had no such intentions—he only wanted to toy with Valerie. How could Charles possibly agree to this?At the same time, his heart was filled with regret. He had almost become the one to push his daughter into a pit of fire!"You'll figure out another way?"Godfrey's expression darkened. He glared at Charles coldly and sneered. "Ten billion in loans, just to have Valerie play with me for a while! I really didn't know that any wh*re on the market could be this expensive!""If you don't agree, I'd like to see which other financial institution in Qyn Province would dare lend to you without Union Finance's approval!"The entire orde

    "What’s wrong with you?"Hearing this, Godfrey furrowed his brows and said in a dissatisfied tone, "How long has it been? How could you not handle such a simple matter?""You still want that loan from the Hensworth Group approved, don’t you?"He immediately reprimanded Charles."Whether or not I’m with you is my business, it has nothing to do with my father!"Upon hearing this, Valerie immediately understood the implication behind Godfrey's words. Although she had just been angry with Charles, she could not allow Godfrey to speak to her father like that."Then what exactly are you thinking now?"Hearing Valerie's words, Godfrey turned his head, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light as he looked at her. "The other day, I asked you to go out for drinks. Why didn’t you go?"The reason Godfrey had come in and started pressuring Charles was that he sensed that Valerie seemed uninterested in him.However, he had not expected Valerie to suddenly speak up at this moment."I did

    "Dad, Liam really does have the ability to help our Hensworth Group…"However, hearing Liam’s words, a hint of urgency flashed across Valerie’s face. She quickly spoke, as though she wanted to persuade him of something.Even though, up until now, Valerie did not know the full extent of Liam’s influence, after the last class reunion, she was very certain—Liam helping the Hensworth Group would definitely not be a problem!"Valerie! You and Liam, both of you get out of here!"Before Valerie could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Charles. His face darkened as he pointed toward the nearby door and barked harshly."Come back when you’ve thought things through!"The Hensworth Group was already on the brink of a crisis. Yet Valerie was still stirring up trouble. Right now, Charles did not even want to see her!"Dad…"Seeing this, Valerie opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say more.And just then—Bang!A loud noise rang out. The villa door of Valerie’s home was violently k

    "I…"Hearing Charles’s words, Sebastian froze. His once-straight back slowly hunched over.Charles was not wrong.If the Lloyd Group were dealing with some minor trouble, maybe he could help. But if the crisis was so severe that marrying off Valerie was the only solution, there was nothing Sebastian could do.After all, he had stepped away from the Lloyd Group’s management and handed it over to Charles many years ago.Sebastian had long since lost much of his influence.Now, he was just an old man who spent his days watering flowers and pulling weeds.At that moment, a wave of frustration washed over him.As for the truth behind Charles’s words, he did not ask much. Sebastian knew his son well. If the situation were not dire, Charles wouldn’t be saying such things.Just then, Liam’s voice rang out, slow and steady."How serious could the Lloyd Group’s crisis be for you to be in such a rush to marry off Valerie?"He narrowed his eyes slightly, fixing his gaze on Charles."Yo

    The young man standing before them, tall and handsome, could he really be the person described in those rumors?"Dad! Mom! You just don’t understand!"Valerie's delicate face was filled with urgency as she looked at the scene before her. "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. Everything I know about him barely scratches the surface!"As she spoke, Valerie turned her gaze to Sebastian, seeking his support.What she wanted to convey to Charles and Janell was not just about seeking their approval for her to be with Liam.At this point, Valerie only wanted to clear Liam’s name!"Sigh..."Hearing her words, Sebastian let out a deep sigh.He raised his head to look at Charles, his tone softening slightly.

    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. Liam had actually thought about this initially. However, when he first agreed to meet Valerie's parents, he genuinely believed that he just needed to show up and everything w

    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.
