Liam didn't know what to say to Sheila. But she was right, he was so stupid, Simon deserved to die for what he did, but Liam just couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger. Even though he wanted Simon to get what he deserved, he didn't want to get his hands dirty. As Liam was lost in thought thinking about what an idiot and failure he was for not being able to punish the man who murdered his parents, suddenly, Simon made a leap for the gun, hoping to disarm Liam and use it against him.Reacting quickly, Liam stepped back to avoid Simon’s grasp, but in the heat of the moment, he accidentally pulled the trigger, firing a shot that hit Simon in the chest, and he instantly collapsed to the floor.Shocked with what had just happened, Liam subconsciously dropped the gun to the floor and rushed to Simon's side. But Simon was already dead."I didn't mean to shoot him." Liam said in a shaky voice, looking at Sheila, who was looking at Simon with a shocked expression. She was shocked because
'Well done Liam danvers.' Mia thought to herself. She was impressed with Liam. When she gave him Simon's location she was afraid he would blow it and get caught or something, but it turned out that he was smart. Not only did he manage to do the job, he made sure that no one would ever suspect him of being involved in Simon's doom.Mr Clark had no idea that it was Liam had helped Sheila capture Simon. And he also had no idea that Mia was the one who gave up Simon's location, because she wanted to take him out of the picture in order to become his second in command. And Mia was glad that he didn't have a clue.Mia knew that she had to be careful, there was no telling what Mr. Clark might do if he learned the truth about Simon’s death. But for now, she was content to wallow in the glow of her newfound power and influence. She had worked tirelessly for years to climb the ranks of Mr. Clark’s Mafia clan, but because of Simon she couldn't climb the ranks. But now that he was no longer alive
Liam walked to the table Dick was seated at. "Hey, I'm here " He said, stretching out his arm to Dick."Glad you could make it." Dick replied standing up to greet Liam. The two of them shared a brief handshake before Liam took a seat down across from Dick.Seating down comfortably, Liam looked over at Dick. "Alright, so, why did you bring me here?" He asked, curious about what Dick invited him to the restaurant for.Dick casually lifted a cup of coffee to his lips, took a sip, and then looked at Liam, "So, I have a business proposal for you." He said calmly.Liam wasn't surprised by this. He had a feeling that the reason Dick wanted to speak to him was because of business. "Oh, okay, what proposal?" Liam asked, knowing that dick was a businessman.Dick carefully placed the cup of coffee on the wooden table, and rested his forearms on the table, locking eyes with Liam, "So, I'm in need of an investment right now." Dick said. He knew Liam loved investing in companies, in fact Liam had
When Liam arrived at the location Mia had told him to meet up, he alighted the Rolls Royce and walked inside, with James following him. The other bodyguards stayed outside the restaurant in the Rolls-Royce as instructed. Liam didn't want to go with them inside the restaurant because he didn't want to attract a lot of attention."Looks like she is not here yet," James said as he observed the restaurant to see if Mia had arrived, but he saw no sign of her. "Maybe she's running late," Liam replied, shrugging. Then he walked to a table and James followed closely.Liam sat down along with James. As the two of them were making themselves comfortable, a woman in a black fancy dress walked over to his table and sat down. "Hey, sorry if I made you wait." She said apologetically.Liam looked up at the lady, and he was relieved to see that she had finally arrived. "Oh, you're here," Liam said in an emotionless tone."Congratulations, you got Simon, you have no idea what a huge blow you have d
Mila's ego wouldn't let her leave Liam alone. She just wanted to ridicule Liam Infront of the other diners in the restaurant. She enjoyed doing those types of things to Liam because she knew he would be miserable. And she was sure he couldn't do anything about it.Liam could feel the eyes of the other diners on him and he felt uncomfortable, but at the same time he also felt angry. But instead of reacting angrily, he took a deep breath and remained composed as he said, "I think it's best for you, if you and your boyfriend walk away." Liam said coldly, and he meant that as a threat.Mila scoffed. "Oh, What can you do?" She asked him with a sneer, taking a seat on the chair next to Mia. She hated Liam so much, and she took pleasure in making his life miserable, also the fact that the attention was on her as she tried to embarrass Liam only motivated her. But Liam refused to stoop to her level, so he didn't answer her or try to get into an argument. Only if Mila knew what a grave mistak
All eyes in the restaurant were drawn to Liam and Mr. Harper, and even Mila, appeared to be baffled by the sudden turn of events. Even though it wasn't that surprising for her to see someone important recognize Liam because he was also rich now, it was the sight of Mr. Harper bowing to him truly stunned her and the onlookers. Why would such an important and rich man bow to Liam? Yeah he was a CEO, but he still wasn't that much of a big deal in Mr Harper's eyes. Mr Harper didn't just own a restaurant, he owned some other businesses, and his Networth was 4.2 billion dollars, so it was strange that someone as rich and important as him could bow to a CEO like Liam. Infact, Liam was the one who should be bowing to him."What's going on? I thought you said he is a poor man, then why is that old man showing him so much respect." Mila's boyfriend asked her with a surprised expression. Mila had no idea, so she just shrugged as she watched what was going on with wide eyes. "I don't know." E
Liam just furrowed his brows, but he didn't say anything to her.At that same time, Mila's date decided to get involved. He was eager to impress Mila, and to show off to the other diners in the restaurant. “What do you idiots think you’re doing?” he demanded of the security guards, before turning his gaze towards Mr. Harper. “I suggest you kick Liam out instead of us.” he said smugly.Mr Harper scowled at Mila's date. "Who do you think you're, to suggest that." Mr Harper was infuriated. Who did this man think he was to suggest that Liam be kicked out instead of him? Who did he think he was to even have the audacity to suggest that Liam should be kicked out of the restaurant."I'm Gabriel Ramirez, my father, the CEO and founder of Bluepeak industries." Mila's date, Gabriel haughtily announced to anyone, thinking his last name might strike some fear into Mr Harper and he would kick Liam out. But unfortunately for him, Mr Harper and Liam didn't look fazed at all. Liam smirked faintly, h
Mr. Harper slid something over to Liam, catching Liam's attention. When Liam looked at it he was surprised to see it was a ring.Liam looked at the ring without touching it for a few seconds. He didn't know his grandfather, and he had never met him in his life, so he wondered if Mr. Harper was even telling him the truth or if he was just trying to trick him.Finally taking the ring into his hands, Liam looked at it with raised eyebrows.He had a lot of luxurious rings that he had bought. But the ring he was holding in his hands, was nothing like he had seen before. It had intricate patterns etched onto its surface and a large gemstone at its center. Mr. Harper watched as Liam examined the ring with a confused look on his face. "That ring is one of a kind, Mr Danvers." He said confidently. Liam raised his gaze to glance at him briefly before focusing on the ring again.Indeed, the ring was one of a kind, and priceless; it had been in the Danvers Family for many years now, but only a f
