Karen was very unsettled after hearing Jeremy's subtle words. ‘We used to have good times?’ What was that supposed to mean? She didn't know what he meant by that, because if she remembered correctly, nothing ever happened between her and him in the past.So whatever Jeremy was trying to insinuate was untrue, and she knew it was just Jeremy’s attempts to create doubt and tension between her and Liam. But it wasn't going to work, she would not allow it.What are you talking about?” she asked, her tone was cold yet laced with a quiet elegance that slightly masked her growing irritation.Jeremy's smile disappeared slightly at her response and the coldness in her expression. It was clear she wasn’t going to play along or indulge in whatever game he was trying to start. But, determined as ever, he kept up his charming facade.“Remember that getaway we all took? The two of us?” he began, his tone casual. “It was that trip to the lake with your friends. We had such a great time, didn’t we?”Ka
However his plan didn't work out. Not only did it fail, it only served to make Karen dislike him even more. While her family was intrigued by the idea and had encouraged her to go out on a few dates with Jeremy to see where it might lead, Karen remained inflexible in her refusal. The fact that Jeremy came from a wealthy, influential family was the main reason her parents entertained the notion, but for Karen, his wealth didn't mean anything.Now, back to the present, as he sat across from her, Jeremy’s familiar smirk and calculated words felt like a continuation of that obsession. When he mentioned, ‘We used to have good times,’ it wasn’t just a casual remark, it was an attempt to rewrite history, to suggest events and a connection that had never truly existed between them, all because he wanted Liam to believe it. Karen could see through his scheme; he wanted Liam to think there was something more between them, something that had never been.Karen's irritation grew by the second, and
After parting ways with Karen, Liam drove to Multiversal Studios, where he spent several hours managing various tasks and overseeing ongoing projects. The building buzzed with activities, and Liam was deeply absorbed in his work, barely noticing the passage of time.Hours later, just as he was wrapping up for the day, his phone rang. He let out a weary sigh as he reached for his phone on the desk. He quickly glanced at the caller ID, pausing when he saw that the person calling him was Mr Edwards. Liam’s brow furrowed in surprise. Why would Mr Edwards be calling him at this hour when he was wrapping up to leave work? He assumed it had to be about the business and the investment they had discussed. Without wasting any more time, Liam answered the call, bringing the phone to his ear. “Hello, Mr. Edwards.”Meanwhile, at that exact moment, Mr. Edwards was seated in a sleek conference room. The atmosphere inside was tense and focused as Mr. Edwards stared down at his cell phone, which rest
Elena let out a smile as she thought about how clueless Liam was of any of their plotting. He was very convinced that this was just another business deal that he would benefit from, not knowing that it was going to be the end of him and the Danvers family. “Dummy, I bet he won’t even suspect a thing.” She said happily. Elena was feeling very confident this time. And couldn't believe the last time she had believed in this scheme she and Mr Simpson had come up with before until now. She was now hopeful that everything was going to work out. Liam couldn't stop them this time since he was clueless, “By the time he realizes what’s going on, it’ll be too late,” she added.Samuel, standing beside her, shared a cold smile with her. "It's about time the Danvers finally got what they deserve," he said, his voice icy. "And Liam... he's so stupid, he can't even tell when he's being led into a trap. We'll crush him and his precious Danvers family, and they'll never see it coming."Across the roo
Nathan was family to Elena. Although they didn’t share the same blood, they had grown up together, with their parents being married to each other. To her, he was like an older brother. So, hearing him tell others that she should be gotten rid of felt like a deep betrayal, one that hurt her to the core. Elena glared at Nathan, her voice was filled with a lot of emotions as she spoke to him. “We are family, Nathan! How can you even think….” Elena couldn't even finish her sentence as Nathan interrupted her with a scoff. Nathan cut her off sharply, his tone cold and dismissive. “Family? Please. Don’t kid yourself, Elena. We’re not the same blood. We’ve never been a true family, and you know it.”Elena froze, Nathan's words hitting her like a slap. She had always thought of Nathan as her brother, despite their different bloodlines, but hearing him say this shattered something inside her.Nathan continued, his voice filled with bitterness. “You were just a part of the deal when our parent
Elena was relieved to see that Mr Simpson was the only one who seemed to be taking her side and didn't agree with Nathan to get rid of her. Although she didn't show it, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief. However she was still feeling the betrayal from Nathan and she was still quite in disbelief. She had never imagined that someone she considered family could harbor such hatred toward her, let alone wish for her to be gotten rid of. The disbelief lingered, leaving her with a sense of unease that she couldn't shake. Nathan shot her one final, venomous glare before storming out of the conference room, his footsteps echoing with the anger he could no longer contain. It infuriated him to see that even after knowing of her betrayal, Mr Simpson still wanted to work with her. This wasn't only about making everyone turn on Elena, Nathan also wanted to take her place in Mr Simpson's plan against the Danvers and his business empire. He had noticed how Elena seemed to hold a powerful pos
Meanwhile at that same time somewhere else.The private dock was transformed into an extremely bright hub of activity for the high profile charity event, an extravagant fundraiser supporting multiple causes. The event was organized by one of the powerful families from the neighboring city, and it aimed to raise funds for children’s education, medical research, and so on. An opulent red carpet stretched from the dock to the entrance of the yacht, flanked by velvet ropes and lined with a cloud of photographers and journalists. The air was filled with a happy and lively atmosphere and anticipation. Outside the yacht a crowd gathered, event attendees stepping out of their cars and making their way toward the yacht. The workers like security guards and waiters moved about as they attended to their various jobs. The sound of clicking cameras and murmurs mixed as people conversed with each other outside the yacht. The occasional flash from the cameras of paparazzi and news people lightene
“Wow, what was it like being married to Liam Danvers, Erin?” another reporter asked, curiosity evident in their voice.“What went wrong in your marriage?” another reporter inquired, adding to the buzz of questions.Even more than ever not in the mood to answer questions, Erin ignored the reporter's question. “Alright, No more questions.” With that she continued on her way, walking towards the yacht her family followed behind. Some of the paparazzi and journalist's tried to follow her and ask her more questions, however before they could, their attention was drawn to the sound of a car engine roaring loudly and powerfully.The sudden roar of a powerful engine stopped the chatter and clinking of glasses of the event. Heads turned towards the source of the sound, and to everyone's surprise they saw a sleek sports car driving towards the dock.Astonishment was evident on the faces of everyone at the dock as they realized the car arriving was a limited edition Eclipse Mirage. The car's ar
