The noise of the door drew the man's attention. He swiftly concealed the object in his hand, slipping it into his jacket pocket. He turned around to face the two individuals who had entered the room. With an uncomfortable facial expression, he looked at Karen briefly, before his gaze shifted to Liam Liam and the man's eyes met in a tense moment of silence. Liam's mind raced, as he felt the realisation that the man had been doing something suspicious near his mother's bedside. Liam noticed that the man was not a doctor or any of the hospital staff given the clothes he was wearing. With that realisation, suspicion ate at him, and he couldn't ignore the strangeness of the situation."What were you doing? You don't look like a doctor," He asked, his tone skeptical. He couldn't ignore the strangeness of the situation.The man hesitated, his expression unreadable. "I was just checking on her," he replied, his voice composed but lacking conviction.Liam exchanged a wary glance with Karen, h
Getting back to his mom's room, Liam found Karen seated beside her on the bed as she was sleeping. 'Looks like she is in a better condition than earlier.' Liam thought to himself.Karen darted her gaze towards Liam, standing up from her seat as she said. "Where did you just runoff to?" She was curious to learn why he had suddenly left running. "I was searching for the man we found here. He's the reason mom's health got worse all of a sudden, I'm sure of it." Liam replied.Karen couldn't disagree with Liam's statement, knowing it was likely true that the man had something to do with Mrs. Danvers' condition. "So, did you find him?" Karen inquired.Feeling a mixture of frustration and disappointment, Liam sighed. "Unfortunately no, I think he slipped away the moment mom started having her seizures." He replied, "So, how is she doing? What did the doctor say?"Karen replied, her expression softening with compassion as she glanced at Mrs Danvers on the bed, "The doctor said she will be al
The old man's security personnel got back inside the car, and drove away, leaving behind a dead body in the alleyway. The security personnel returned to the car and drove off, abandoning a lifeless body in the alley.The driver, one of the security personnel, glanced back at the old man in the rearview mirror. "Boss, what's the plan now? Our guy didn't finish the job. How are you going to explain this to the higher-ups?" he asked."Focus on driving!" The old man snapped irritably. "As for the task at hand, that's not a concern. I have someone else handling it now."Meanwhile back at the hospital, Liam and Karen had just gotten in a Rolls-Royce, after coming from visiting Mr and Mrs Danvers. As they settled into their seats, Liam leaned back, his thoughts circling back to the assassination attempt he narrowly escaped the previous day. He couldn't help but suspect that the person who targeted him might be the same individual behind the attack on his mother.As he was lost in thought, t
"What can we do for you, boss?" the security guards inquired, their attention shifting to Samuel. As the owner of the restaurant and its manager, Samuel's authority held sway.Megan frowned irritably. And If she had known that the place belonged to that weirdo she wouldn't have stepped foot inside. Being a Danvers she was not used to being in such situations, and she wished she could make the person responsible for putting her in this situation suffer.Turning to Luke Megan said, "Luke, let's go." Giving Samuel one last cold look, Luke turned to Megan and nodded. "Yeah, let's go." But before they could, Samuel instructed his security guards to stop them. He was going to let them leave just like that, especially after Megan had slapped him and humiliated in front of a lot of people. Now he wanted to get back at her and teach her a lesson."Hold up, you two can't leave just yet." Samuel demanded as his security personnel stood in front of Megan and Luke, blocking their way. Samuel hel
On the contrary, Megan did not often flaunt her Danvers identity to the world, leaving many in the restaurant unaware of her powerful family background. But of course if they knew who she was, they wouldn't have been standing idly by while Samuel was being disrespectful towards her, they would have taken her side, just to get on her good side.Amidst the chaos, a commanding and resonant voice suddenly pierced through the commotion, immediately seizing the attention of everyone present. "What is going on here?" The security guards stopped their actions, while Samuel abruptly released his grip on Megan's arm. All eyes turned toward the source of the authoritative voice.It was Liam who had arrived on the scene, with Karen standing behind him. And of course his arrival caused an audible stir among the onlookers. Whispers and murmurs filled the air as they tried to figure out the identity of this unexpected newcomer.Liam's expression was a mixture of anger and concern as he quickly unde
After the police had arrested Samuel and his security guards, Liam, Megan, Karen, and Luke left the restaurant. Luke, although beaten up and had some minor injuries, was fortunate that he didn't have any broken bones. But still, Megan insisted that they see a doctor just in case he might be bleeding internally."I'm alright, really," Luke reassured her. But honestly Luke knew he had to see a doctor as he was not feeling too good, but he didn't want to admit that in front of Liam, afraid that Liam might think he is weak. He was sure Liam was not impressed with the fact that he got beat up by two security guards, and couldn't protect Megan.Although he didn't show it, he had a lot of regret in his head. And he couldn't help but imagine the horrors that might have unfolded if Liam hadn't intervened, especially the thought of Megan enduring harassment from Samuel.Megan remained concerned for his health, and she also didn't stop trying to get him to agree to see a doctor. "Maybe so, but
The man's anger and annoyance was evident, he did not like failure, especially when it came to things like this. The young man got out of the pool and put on a rob, and then he walked inside the mansion. Emiliano followed behind him. Once they were inside his office the man faced Emiliano, demanding an explanation without saying a word. Emiliano was about to start explaining when the door to the office opened, getting everyone's attention. The two of them shifted their attention towards the door to see a young woman walking inside the room. The young woman looked like she was in her mid twenties. She was wearing black pants and a tank top."For fucks sake, what are you doing here?" The young man asked, his annoyance and displeasure evident in his tone. The woman scoffed disdainfully, "It seems to me that you forgot that this is my house too, step brother." She replied coldly. And then she shifted her stern gaze and looked at Emiliano, as she asked. "Emiliano, you're back. Did you c
After the doctor was done checking Mrs Danvers blood pressure she left the room. As she got outside, she heaved a sigh, feeling embarrassed for staring at Liam. She was thinking Liam must have thought she was weird or something for staring.But in truth the only reason she was staring was because she was astonished to see him again after a few years. Isabella used to be Liam's college mate, they even shared a few classes. But she doubted Liam would know that or recognize her seeing as he never looked at her in college.Isabella couldn't help but reminisce about her college days as she walked down the hospital corridor. She had tried to strike up conversations with Liam many times back then, but he always appeared uninterested, likely due to the constant bullying he endured. It seemed he might have mistaken her for one of those tormentors. Now, years later, their paths had crossed again, and she couldn't help but feel surprised and curios. She remembered that Liam was a poor person, w
