Although Karen wasn’t pleased with Erin’s presence, she did her best not to show it to Mrs Danvers and Liam. Karen understood why Mrs. Danvers had a good relationship with Erin lately; Erin had played a crucial role in saving their lives after a car accident, which meant they owed her a significant debt of gratitude, apparently.Karen recognized that this sense of indebtedness likely shaped Mrs Danvers' positive impression of Erin. Despite the dislike for Erin that Karen felt, she was aware that Mrs. Danvers probably viewed Erin through the lens of her past actions, which painted her in a favorable light. Probably why she was hanging out with her and was very nice to her despite the fact that he But still, Karen wished that Mrs. Danvers wasn't so close with Erin over her. As the future daughter in law of the family, she wanted her and Mrs. Danvers to bond; however, Mrs. Danvers never really seemed to have time to spend with her future daughter in-law. Whether she was busy with other
Around 9 pmElena walked through the door as she entered the police station, her expression was serious, but at the same time also had a hint of concern. The altercation she had just had with Karen and Megan at the store a few hours ago, was still fresh in her mind and it made her angry. Elena couldn’t believe how everything had turned out. She had been so confident that she would have the last laugh by getting Karen and Megan kicked out and banned from the store. After all, she was a regular customer, spending tens of thousands each time. It seemed only right that the manager and staff would listen to her and remove anyone who bothered her.But instead of triumph, she had faced humiliation. Not only had Karen and Megan managed to get her kicked out, but she had also been banned from the store for life. The very store where she had once wielded so much influence had now turned against her. The defeat was more than she had anticipated, and the blow to her pride was hard to bear.Elena
But Elena couldn’t let that happen. Nathan was her only family and one of the few people she had left in this world, and despite everything, she couldn’t bear the thought of him spending his life behind bars. More like she hated the thought of being alone with no family in the world. The idea of losing him, of being completely alone in the world, was unbearable. She was determined to do whatever it took to get him out.Reaching into her purse she pulled out her phone. As she unlocked it she knew she had to call someone who could get Nathan released. Ironically the first person who came to her mind was Liam. And she couldn't believe she was thinking of calling him and asking for help.Liam was powerful enough to get Nathan released if he wanted to so it was only normal that she thought of calling him. ‘No. Not him.’ she thought to herself, shaking her head. Liam was out of the question. He would never help them under any circumstances. First of all, he was the one who had gotten Nath
Liam suspected that Mr. Simpson must have leveraged the mayor’s help to get Nathan out of jail. If that was true, it meant Mr. Simpson’s connections were even more extensive than Liam had anticipated. Being able to get the mayor's help was no small feat for a lot of people. However, to someone as powerful as the Simpsons it wasn't very hard. But still, Liam wasn’t impressed. Mr. Simpson having strong connections with the mayor wasn’t such an impressive feat to him. The Danvers family had ties to far more powerful people in key positions across the country.Liam let out a deep sigh as he put the phone down. He leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples as he tried to think of his next move. The release of Nathan from jail felt like a direct challenge from Mr. Simpson, a test of power and influence. Liam had always known that the Simpsons were well-connected, but this was a bold move even for them, one that seemed to be a clear message: ‘We can reach just as far as you can.’The fac
The next day, Liam decided to pay a visit to the mayor, the same person who had made the call for Nathan to be released. He arrived at the grand, stately building that housed the mayor’s office. As he walked towards the entrance his steps were measured and deliberate. He walked past the security guards who performed their usual security checks on him before letting him in.He stepped into the spacious, elegantly designed lobby that served as the reception area. Liam glanced around, and the air was cool and quiet. The space was open and airy, with high ceilings and large windows that let in natural light, casting long shadows across the polished marble floors.Liam was impressed with how beautiful and opulent the place was. The reception area was beautifully decorated, with modern art pieces hanging on the walls and a few potted plants strategically placed to add a touch of greenery. There were also sleek, leather armchairs arranged in small clusters around glass coffee tables, offerin
Seeing Mr Simpson and the mayor together, only confirmed what Liam already knew: Mr. Simpson was behind the mayor’s decision to demand Nathan's release from police custody. As the three of them, Nathan, Mr Simpson and the mayor engaged in conversation, they didn't see that Liam was standing near the window in the lobby. Liam decided not to make his presence known to them as he quietly observed the three men. Standing by the large windows, he kept his gaze fixed on the group, trying to piece together what they were talking about. He tried to overhear their conversation, but they were too far away from him to hear anything. Their voices were little more than faint murmurs drowned out by the ambient noise of the building, but judging by their friendly and cheerful expressions, he could tell that the mayor and Mr Simpson got along very well. Which explained how the mayor was the one who had made the call to free Nathan. Mr Simpson clearly was the one who had asked him. Liam’s mind race
If this were truly a business meeting, Nathan's presence made no sense to Liam, because first of all he wasn't connected to Mr Simpsons corporation and secondly, Nathan was a criminal who was only out of jail because of Mr Simpson. Liam already knew the truth, that the mayor was aiding Mr. Simpson but he wanted to hear them try to justify it.“Then what is his business in all this? Why is he not in police custody?” Liam asked, his gaze fixed on Nathan, who stood beside Mr. Simpson and the mayor. Liam then said to Nathan, “And don’t think just because you’re out now, I’ve forgotten what you did. I’ll make sure you pay for it.Nathan stared back at Liam his gaze cold, engaging in a silent battle of wills. However he didn't say anything in return. Well, what was he supposed to say in response? Normally, Nathan would have shot back a retort or challenged Liam to take action. But now, having seen firsthand what Liam was capable of, Nathan knew better than to provoke him further.The truth
The confidence and arrogance in Mr Simpson's tone as he made threats to Liam was unmistakable. And Liam could tell that his confidence was not empty, he was this confident for a reason. And knowing the man he was dealing with, Liam could tell that Mr Simon must have been plotting something major, that could be really damaging, and knowing that Liam was very concerned and knew he had to find out what Mr Simpson was up to this time and put an end to it. He remembered that Mr Simpson and Salvatore had once aligned themselves with the shadow court, so maybe that was why Mr Simpson was this arrogant and confident in himself.Having the backing of a powerful and mysterious secret society must be the reason Mr Simpson was so full of himself right now and thought he could challenge the Danvers. However even after knowing that, Liam didn't show any sign of being concerned on his face. He really was not all that threatened by Mr Simpson or whoever was backing him. Plus he felt better knowing
