Ryan's face lit up with a smile, waving his hands repeatedly. "Of course, we knew! We've been preparing to welcome you these past few days, but we never expected you to come alone!"After speaking, he turned to the hurriedly approaching Andy with a frown. "What's the matter? Can't you see I'm speaking to Grandmaster Burrey?""I..." Andy's face turned deathly pale at Ryan's words, and his body trembled violently. The situation was clear.Liam truly lived in Villa No. 3, and all the bustling preparations by the management of the Hush Purple Gardens over the past few days had been for him.What kind of person was Liam to warrant such attention from the entire management of the Purple Garden?At that moment, Ruby walked over and, seeing Andy standing still, she became angry. "Honey, the manager is asking you a question! Did you explain everything about Liam to Mister Hollister?"Then, she turned to Ryan with a smile. "Mister Hollister, you don't need to be polite to this kind of pe
The sudden scene froze Ryan in his tracks."Grandmaster Burrey, do you know them?" He glanced at Liam curiously, seeking answers.Although Ryan could have crossed paths with Andy before, it seemed he had forgotten him entirely."Not really acquainted," Liam replied lightly, casting a brief glance at Andy and Ruby without further elaboration.He did not care much for Andy's frenzied apologies or his audacity in slapping Ruby and himself. From the start, Liam had not held Andy and Ruby in high regard.However, that single glance from him made Andy shiver involuntarily, and his face twisted with fear.Observing Liam's indifference, Ryan understood.Andy and Ruby were not significant to Liam.Still, Ryan could not help but be startled by their sudden actions. He frowned and muttered softly, "Why are they letting just about anyone in? Is the security at the entrance slacking off?"However, Ryan knew it was not the time to deal with Andy and the others. He turned back to Liam, tryin
Liam shook his head. "Why do I have to tell your sister about my affairs?""You need to let my sister know…"Layla raised her head abruptly, her eyes flashing with urgency as if she wanted to continue.If Serena knew how much Liam had changed after his release from prison, and that he even had a friend who could lend him Villa No. 3 in Hush Purple Gardens, her opinion of Liam would surely change.Her entire family might start to see Liam differently too. After all, Serena had always despised Liam for his lack of ambition. However, upon seeing Liam's expression, Layla could not help but sigh lightly. She could tell that her brother-in-law had no such intentions. It seemed she would have to help him on her own.Determination flashed in Layla's eyes as she raised her head. "Liam, do you know how long you'll be staying at Hush Purple Gardens?" Liam frowned. "How long?"He had never discussed with Gabriel about how long he would live at Hush Purple Gardens. However, he figured Gab
Ryan was adept at reading between the lines. He could discern from the subtle shifts in Liam's expression just moments ago. There was a sense of apprehension. Liam seemed to harbor feelings for Serena, as Layla mentioned.Ryan turned toward Liam, his face adorned with a wide grin. "Grandmaster Burrey, what are your thoughts on this approach? Does this suit you?"Liam paused for a moment. "Of course, it's no problem!" Ryan vigorously nodded in response, though he had yet to uncover Liam's true identity.However, Ryan knew who the former owner of Villa No. 3 was. The way Gabriel spoke about Liam in their recent phone call had sent shivers down their spines.To command such respect from a regional commander! Liam's true identity was beyond their wildest imaginations.Layla hastily waved her hands. "No, no. It's unnecessary! Mister Hollister, there's no need!"Although she could not fathom why Ryan referred to her brother-in-law as Grandmaster Burrey, Ryan's suggestion was indeed
Just as Layla was still in a daze, Ryan spoke to Liam in a flattering tone. "Grandmaster Burrey, now that everything has been taken care of. Shall we take a look inside the house? Let me give you a brief introduction to the interior.""Alright."Liam nodded before turning to Layla. "Layla, let's go inside together."From her earlier expression, it seemed Layla was also curious about the interior of Villa No. 3. Hearing Liam's invitation, Layla snapped back to reality. However, she shook her head and declined."Liam, I won't go in with you. I need to hurry back!"Liam was taken aback. "What's so urgent?"Layla replied hastily, "Mister Hollister has already reserved Villa No. 22 for us. We shouldn't make things too difficult for him. I need to hurry back and inform my sister so she can prepare the money as soon as possible!"Seeing her determination, Liam did not insist. "Alright. Take care on your way back.""Don't worry, Liam!"Layla smiled, skipping down the mountain path.
Liam had not expected it. Gabriel had merely mentioned letting him stay temporarily, but ultimately, he gave Liam the villa!Liam initially felt a bit helpless when given that valuable gift, but he ultimately had no further emotions. After all, no matter how luxurious Villa No. 3 was, to Liam, it was just a place to live.Liam was quite satisfied with the environment in Hush Purple Gardens. Moreover, Villa No. 3 was already equipped with all the necessary living supplies, so he did not need to purchase anything additional.Meanwhile, as Liam was getting familiar with Villa No. 3, Layla hurried back to the Lloyd family home.As soon as she stepped through the door, she called out loudly in a rush, "Sis, are you home? You won't believe what happened today when I went to see the house!"Serena turned toward the front door when she heard the commotion. She frowned slightly, her delicate face carrying a hint of authority. "Speak slowly! How old are you, still causing a ruckus?""It's
In the past, Ruby constantly spoke ill of Liam and even urged her to break up with him. It made Serena very unhappy. Unbeknownst to Liam, she had a big fight with Ruby over it.That was another reason why Ruby held such a grudge against Liam. From that moment on, Serena began to distance herself from Ruby. If she had not heard Ruby's name from Layla, she would have completely forgotten about her.However, recalling everything that had happened recently, Serena felt a bit dazed, letting out a sigh.Maybe Ruby was right. She should have listened to her and broken up with Liam sooner.Unaware of Serena's thoughts, Layla quickly grabbed her sister's hand cheerfully. "Serena, why are you sighing? You don't have to worry. Even though Ruby and her companion wanted to buy Villa No. 22, they couldn't outbid us in the end!""Didn't they have enough budget?" Serena asked in confusion."Of course not! They already paid the deposit!"Serena frowned. "Once they've paid the deposit, it sho
Seeing the look on Serena's face, Layla raised her head. "It's Liam! How could you forget my brother-in-law?"The moment Serena heard the name, her eyes widened. "Liam? Layla, I told you I divorced Liam. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. After all the terrible things he's done, do you still think of him as your brother-in-law? Besides, what does buying a house in Hush Purple Gardens have to do with Liam?" Serena was furious. The recent incident at the police station still angered her.She could not understand how Liam could be involved with the Hush Purple Gardens. That place was beyond his reach.Layla quickly interjected. "Serena, don't get upset! I talked to him, and those things we thought he did, he didn't do any of them! If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been able to secure a villa in Hush Purple Gardens at all. When I went to look at houses in Hush Purple Gardens as you instructed, I ran into him at the entrance. At first, I thought he was just out for a
"You... what do you mean by that?"Upon hearing Liam's words, Sebastian was momentarily stunned. He had no idea what this young man was suddenly talking about!What did he mean by saying that once the bodyguards returned, Lloyd Group would cease to exist?Lloyd Group, which spanned across the entire Qyn Province with a powerful background, had been doing booming business lately. How could it just disappear like that?Sebastian knew that Liam’s idea was, in theory, quite good. After all, if Lloyd Group were to disappear, the Nosh family would suffer a huge blow, and they would have no time to cause trouble for them in the short term.However, the idea of Lloyd Group disappearing was nothing more than a beautiful fantasy. It was impossible!It was not just Sebastian.Charles and Janell were also stunned after hearing Liam’s words.To be honest, after experiencing the events earlier, their impression of Liam had already changed quite a bit.As the current head of the Hensworth fa
"Sigh…"Sebastian listened to Liam’s words, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed heavily before speaking, "But even if you want to take action, you should leave no trace!"Although he had not expected Liam to suddenly take such drastic measures, Sebastian still understood the situation to some extent. After all, even he, an old man, was so furious at Godfrey’s earlier words that he could barely contain himself. It was needless to say how someone like Liam, a young man, would feel!Moreover, Godfrey had been threatening Liam not long ago. But Sebastian still felt that Liam had not thought this through completely.Sebastian, after all, was the man who had built the Hensworth family’s foundation, and he had a certain ruthless streak in him. He believed that now that Liam had already taken action, he should not have let those two bodyguards go back."Leave no trace behind!" he thought. Even those two bodyguards should not be spared. Who knows, the truth of Godfrey’s death might s
"Ugh…"Godfrey's body shuddered, his eyes flashing with intense unwillingness. He struggled, as if trying to say something, but not a word escaped his lips.Finally—Bang!A dull thud echoed as Godfrey’s body slammed heavily onto the ground, lifeless.Even in his wildest dreams, he could not have imagined—In South City, someone would actually dare to kill him!In Godfrey's mind, with Union Finance's status in the Qyn Province, it was inconceivable that anyone would dare act against him. Liam had broken his leg earlier, which was already outrageous enough!Otherwise, he would not have arrogantly declared moments ago, threatening to grind Liam's bones to dust unless he fled immediately.Who could have guessed—From the very beginning, Liam had no intention of letting Godfrey go!What Union Finance?What powerful connections in Juneau?To Liam, none of that mattered in the slightest."What now?"Liam stood up, casually tossing the dagger to Bluebird before turning to face
In the very next moment…As soon as Charles and the others processed what was happening, they hurriedly turned to Liam, frantically urging, "Liam, you need to leave now! This time, you’ve really gotten yourself into trouble!"Even though Charles and his companions still had not figured out what exactly was going on in front of them, and they had no idea who the woman who suddenly appeared was or what her relationship with Liam might be, they were absolutely certain that this time, Liam had truly stirred up major trouble!Despite Liam and the mysterious woman who appeared behind him both displaying impressive skills, they were still only two people.When faced with United Financial, Liam wouldn’t stand a chance of resisting.Not to mention—breaking Godfrey’s leg had completely severed any chance of reconciliation with United Financial. With Godfrey’s vengeful nature, this would undoubtedly escalate to a fight to the death!In Charles’s eyes, Liam’s only option was to flee immedi
"Don’t! Don’t you dare interfere with me!"Sensing the bodyguards' movements, Godfrey suddenly snapped awake. His face twisted with fury, his eyes bloodshot as he roared, "Kill him for me! Kill him!"The searing pain in his leg distorted Godfrey's features, but none of it could mask the blazing anger inside him.He, Godfrey, had been beaten into this state by a mere useless ex-convict!Even the Lloyd Group, the former backer of that useless ex-convict, Liam, wouldn’t have dared to treat him this way!Who gave him the nerve to do this?At the instant Godfrey's order rang out, the two bodyguards who had initially rushed toward him abruptly turned around. They swiftly drew retractable batons from their waists and aimed them straight at Liam’s head!"Yes! Beat him to death for me! I want his skin peeled off!"Godfrey's body trembled as he screamed madly at the scene before him.However, just as the two batons were about to strike Liam from both sides...A flash of cold light strea
Charles could not just stand by.However, Liam had not continued speaking yet.The moment Godfrey heard Charles’s words, his eyes widened abruptly, and an exaggerated grin appeared on his face."Liam?"Godfrey extended a finger, pointing straight at Liam, his tone dripping with sarcasm as he asked, "You wouldn’t happen to be that Liam, famed in South City, would you?"It was clear he had heard of Liam’s exploits."I don’t know anything about being famed in South City."Liam looked at Godfrey calmly and said, "I am Liam Burrey.""Hahaha!"Hearing Liam’s response, Godfrey burst into uncontrollable laughter, clutching his stomach. His laughter was saturated with ridicule. "I can’t take it! You’re killing me!"I thought the Hensworth family found someone reliable to back them up, but it turns out it’s just a useless piece of trash!"And you dare spout nonsense about breaking my legs?"Shaking his head, his face was full of disdain. "Now it’s clear—you people have lost your mind
"Liam…"Seeing the scene before her, Valerie trembled.When she first heard Godfrey’s merciless words, her heart burned with grief and indignation. Yet, Valerie also understood that in the face of this situation, she did not have any viable solutions.The moment she realized Godfrey was from Union Finance, Valerie knew the Hensworth Group was nothing in comparison.What’s more, the Hensworth Group was currently on the brink of bankruptcy and had to rely on Godfrey for help!She never imagined Liam would step up at such a moment.After all, she had only asked Liam to pretend to be her boyfriend; there was no real relationship between them.And Union Finance wasn’t just powerful. Its background was incredibly mysterious.There were long-standing rumors that Union Finance in Qyn Province had connections to Juneau.Otherwise, the Nosh family could not have dominated the vast financial market and remained unshaken for so many years.Even if Liam might be capable of resolving this,
"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
