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
The drive back to the Danvers manor was uneventful. As he arrived at the manor, Liam pulled into the garage, and as he exited the car, he noticed that Karen's car was already parked in the garage, indicating that she was back from work. His heart picked up pace in apprehension as he imagined what it would be like telling her about Elena. How was she going to react? Not only Karen, but how would everyone react to the news? What would they think of him after learning everything?The Bennet's and the Danvers were rivals, so he worried that his parents would be very disappointed in him after learning that he had gotten involved with someone who came from a rival family. However, he didn't know that back then. Elena looked like a good person at the time, she pretended to be someone who was genuinely interested in him. He didn't know that Elena was a Bennet. Additionally, he was unaware of the strained relationship between the Bennets and the Danvers. He only recently discovered this info
As Liam exited Karen's room, he let out a sigh in relief. Glad that he didn't give in and tell her the secret he was keeping. Who knows what her reaction night have been, had he told her the secret, she would probably have misunderstood and hated him.Making his way down the hallway, Liam darted into the living room, his eyes landing on his dad, who was standing a few meters away, along with a man, who looked like he was the same age as him. As Liam approached, he noticed the man dart his gaze towards him, his gaze lingering on him a little too long, a wide smile plastered on his face. What made Liam uncomfortable was that the man's gaze wasn't a friendly one, but a searching one, as if he was trying to decipher a puzzle. Flicking his gaze away from Liam, the man paid attention to Mr Danvers, as they seemed to discuss something. Mr. Danvers, noticing the approaching footsteps, shifted his gaze toward the sound to see Liam approaching. With a smile, he said, "Oh, Liam, come meet Mr.
Adrian Hastings and the figure that had suddenly appeared out of thin air inside his car, talked about how his meeting with the Danvers went, and how they could get the ring from Liam. And of course, they were sent by the same organization that had been trying to take the ring Liam had for a while now. Time was running out, and Liam looked to be becoming more powerful, and so they were so desperate to take the ring from him.And this was yet one of their attempts to get the ring from Liam. After trying to take it forcefully many times, and failing because no one had been able to defeat him and take the ring, they resorted to this plan. Getting themselves closer to him, so that they can exploit his weaknesses and try to get the ring. The black Bugatti Chiron gilded smoothly to a stop in front of Jason's family mansion. The sound it made as it pulled up, and its sleek lines and luxurious design instantly attracted the attention of everyone outside the mansion. As the onlookers caught
Liam was surprised to see Elena and Mr Simpson at Jason's family mansion. And what surprised him the most was that those two were in the company of each other as they made their way inside the mansion. He wondered how, Elena and Mr Simpson knew each other? And how long had they known each other.But Liam wouldn't be surprised if those two had only known each other recently. He suspected that their apparent collaboration might be a recent alliance. Given the well known animosity both parties harbored towards the Danvers family, he speculated that when the Bennets faced financial troubles and went bankrupt, Mr. Simpson must have seen an opportunity to form a strategic alliance with them. The thought of them joining forces didn't catch Liam off guard. As they walked inside the mansion, Mr Simpson was dressed in a gray luxurious suit, while Elena wore a striking red dress that made her look stunning.Liam observed them with a suspicious gaze as they walked inside the mansion. When Mr Si
