After the Bennet's had gone bankrupt, and Elena had gotten kicked out of the Bennetts Mansion, because of her pregnancy, she had found herself with nowhere to turn, and having no idea what to do. Luckily, she had managed to get a job at Mrs Simpson's company.Mr Simpson, having heard the news that the Danvers had made the Bennet's went bankrupt again, was more than happy to give Elena a job. He offered her refuge, not out of empathy, but as a pawn in his game. His plan required Elena to be close.In exchange for the job, Mr. Simpson made it clear that he expected Elena to align with him in orchestrating the downfall of the Danvers family. The employment offer was not a gesture of goodwill but rather a strategic maneuver, positioning Elena and her unborn baby as a pawn in his calculated moves against the Danvers. As he and Elena discussed her recent meet up with Liam to get the DNA test done, Mr Simpson walked over to his leather seat. “So, what next?” Elena asked, earger to know wha
Liam's expression turned cold upon seeing Carol. He replied, "Oh, it's you again. Now I know why the driver is such a moron.” Carol's smirk disappeared, replaced by a cold and disdainful look. She didn't appreciate the insult Liam had just thrown at her. She couldn't believe that Liam would dare say something like that to her. How dare he disrespect her? It irked her even more because the insult came from none other than Liam, the person she had watched grow up and had always despised, making his life miserable. He used to be afraid of her, but now, the dynamics had shifted since he became wealthy. He no longer cowered in fear, daring to disrespect her without hesitation.The driver by Carol Steinfeld's side scowled as Liam addressed his boss disrespectfully. No one dared to talk to her in such a manner, those who showed her disrespect always faced consequences. Who did this bastard think he was, talking to her like that?The driver's jaw clenched, and he reached for his pockets as i
Remaining unfazed, Liam observed Shawn and his men seamlessly aligning in attack formation. His composure held firm, not fazed by the intimidation around him. He was bolstered by the power of the ring he wore, so he had no concern He was confident that even if their numbers doubled, victory was assured.As Shawn and his men readied themselves for the impending confrontation, Liam observed them closely, anticipating their attacks. When Shawn's gaze met Liam's, a subtle realization dawned on him. He realized that there was no trace of fear in Liam's eyes. Shawn found it surprising and unsettling because, in their past interactions, Liam had always been afraid of him, a fact that played a significant role. However, this time, Liam stayed composed and unwavering.Despite this shift, it made little difference to Shawn. Indifferent to whether Liam harbored fear or not, Shawn remained focused on his duty. He had a commitment to carry out the orders given to him by his boss, Carol Steinfeld
The moment the police officer asked what had happened, and who had knocked out the men laying on the ground, Carol steinfeld didn't hesitate to point a finger at Liam. And why not? First of all he had really did beat the men and knocked them out, and secondly, she hated him and would be happy to see him get handcuffed and taken to jail. She was motivated by a deep-seated animosity, she wasted no time in placing blame on him. To her, this was an opportunity to see Liam handcuffed and taken to jail, regardless of the actual events that led to the confrontation.Upon hearing Carol's accusation, the police officer maintained a stern gaze as he assessed the situation. He shot a look at Liam, "Sir, is what the lady saying true?" he repeated, looking Liam in the eye. “Well…” Before Liam could respond, Carol interrupted him, with a confidence tone, "Of course it is, I was here the whole time. Just arrest him already." She demanded. Shawn, still nursing his injured hand, looked over at the
Liam, witnessing the abrupt change in the officer's attitude toward Carol, furrowed his brows in disbelief. The speed at which the officer had shifted his stance left Liam feeling disgusted by the officer's abandonment of duty in favor of appeasing Carol's influence. At first he had thought the officer was an honest one, but he was proved wrong, because as soon as the officer realized that he was dealing with Carol Steinfeld he decided to abandon his duty.Carol grinned, noticing the drastic change in the officer's demeanor. And it was what she had expected when she had told him who she was. “I'm glad you realized who you're dealing with quickly, officer.” She said smugly, turning to look at Liam with a look that said, ‘I have more power than you.’Liam met her gaze, irked by the smugness playing on her lips. It was evident she believed she had the upper hand in this situation, yet she had no inkling of whom she was crossing. Only if she knew who he was, then she wouldn't be this conf
Liam desired to extend the game he was playing with Carol, allowing her to believe she had control and more power than him. He intended to let her believe that, for a while and then he would suddenly turn the tables on her, showing her who really had the power between them.However, the moment she gestured to the officers beside her to apprehend him, Liam refused to let it continue, knowing that her plan was to get him brutally beaten up by the police officers, and that was not going to happen. Carol smirked as she watched the police officers get their hands on him. “Let's see how arrogant you'll be after they are done with you.” She sneered arrogantly. Her goons had failed to beat him up, and so she decided to use the police officers she had on her payroll. But getting him beat up, was not the only thing she had planned for Liam, that was only going to be the beginning. After orchestrating the beating, she planned to keep him in jail, framing him for a crime he didn't commit to en
The chief officer's fear was visible on his face, and the sweat that formef on his forehead made his fear even more evident. Observing this, his officers were puzzled. The same thing could be said about Carol. She was also just as puzzled as everyone, upon seeing the fearful look in the officers eyes. What was also puzzling to her and the officers was the fact that the chief had become like that, when he saw Liam. The officer, wearing a police hat, asked curiously and worriedly. “Sir, what's going on?” Shifting his gaze towards the officer the police chief gritted his teeth and slapped him. “You bastard, have you no idea what you've done?” He asked, and it was visible by his facial expression that he was enraged. He looked at Liam, announcing, “How dare you forcefully try to hold Mr Danvers in custody?” He questioned all the other officers present. Hearing the mention of the name Mr Danvers, Carol raised her eyebrows in surprise. Mr Danvers? What did he mean by how dare you hold
Carol couldn't fathom how on earth was Liam a Danvers? He grew up as an orphan so now was that even possible? Carol's surprise was evident and for a moment, she was at a loss for words. The realization that Liam was indeed a Danvers, part of the powerful family she had believed him not to be, shook her to the core. Staring at the ID card, Carol's discomfort grew, realizing that her Steinfeld empire was nothing to his Danvers empire. The balance of power had shifted dramatically. Liam wasn't just a CEO; he was a Danvers, a name synonymous with influence, wealth, and authority. The realization dawned on her, she was now dealing with someone more powerful than herself, someone who could ruin her and everyone she was related to if he wanted to.Liam smirked upon seeing the devastated look on Carol's face. The look of confusion and fear on her face was evident and it made him feel slightly satisfied. But he wasn't satisfied enough. He wasn't going to be satisfied, not until he got his re
