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
Elena grinned as she glanced at Liam, and saw that the lies she was making up were clearly making him uncomfortable. And given that he was keeping a big secret from Karen, it was not surprising that Liam would be feeling uncomfortable. Having Elena and Karen close to each other, made him feel like at any time, Elena might open her mouth and spill the beans exposing him. Secondly, With a mischievous glint in her eyes, Elena, she continued, deliberately making up a story about a shared past between her and Liam. She claimed that Liam and her used to be very good friends, and with her words,she also hinted at a possibility that her and Liam used to be more than just friends, trying to give Karen a sense of intrigue and possibly sow seeds of doubt. And the fact that all of it seemed to make Liam uneasy made her feel motivated to go on. Elena's gaze was filled with wicked delight as she told her tales, each word making Karen even more intrigued and suspicious as she listened.Karen foun
As much as Liam hated to admit it, Elena was right about one thing, he was indeed afraid that Karen might dump him, and that's why he was keeping a secret from her.Liam maintained his composure, his gaze staring into Elena's calculativeyes as he responded to her claim that he was afraid Karen was going to dump him. “Whatever you and Mr Simpson are planning, it won't work, so I advise you to think twicea about it. '' Liam didn't say more. After saying that he walked away from her, leaving her to her thoughts. Liam found himself seated outside the mansion leaning on his Bugatti as he was lost in thought. The secret he was keeping from Karen was making him feel very guilty, and the encounter with Elena did nothing to help. He wanted Karen to know what was going on, but he was apprehensive. Scared that she would not understand, and think he was just a liar and a cheater, and that made him think that it was best to keep things a secret from her. But the guilt was not the only thing eati
Liam and Megan were startled by the sudden arrival of Karen, they both shifted their gazes towards her. Liam's heart picked up pace as he wondered if by any chance did Karen overhear him and have a conversation with Megan? If so, then she must have heard him say that Elena was pregnant with his child. And that was bad for Liam if she had overheard. Liam looked over at Karen, clearing his throat as he asked. “Um, hey, how long have you been here?”Karen maintained a neutral expression as she replied. “I just arrived, now what where you two talking about?” She asked curious to learn what Liam and Megan erre talking about. Liam was about to reply to her, but he couldn't come up with a perfect and believable lie so he remained quiet, looking at Megan, hoping she would say something.Megan, sensing the tension, chimed in with a forced chuckle. "Oh, just discussing how Liam has a headache, and can't stay at this party any longer. But he can't leave because he doesn't want to leave because
