“Security!” she called out, her voice calm yet commanding at the same time. Within seconds, two burly security guards appeared, moving swiftly to position themselves between Liam and the man.The man, rubbing his cheek and fuming with rage, quickly said: “You’ll regret this,” he growled at Liam, his voice dripping with threats. He couldn't believe that someone was dumb enough to put hands on him, were they trying to ruin their own lives? The man vowed in his heart that he would see to it that the young man who dared to put a hand on him, regretted this action by the end of this incident, and as for the barrister, he would figure out what to do with her later. Looking at both Liam and the barrister the man threatened. “Do you two idiots even know who I am? I AM Richard Cole, the CEO of harbor tech solutions.” He revealed with a prideful and arrogant tone, thinking this revelation would scare Liam or the barrister. “You think you can just lay your hands on me and get away with it?”He
Knowing of what a hole he had dug himself in, Richard Cole quickly tried to backpedal, his voice now a strained attempt at diplomacy. “Mr. Danvers, I-,I’m so sorry. -TThis was all just a misunderstanding. Please, let’s not blow this out of proportion. I had no idea it was you,” he stammered. The man was so nervous that he couldn't even construct a sentence the same way he was a few minutes ago while he was spewing threats, now as he opened his mouth his words fell over each other in his haste to make amends. The crowd watching found it hard to believe that someone as powerful and arrogant as Richard Cole was now begging for forgiveness. But when they realized it was a Danvers he was apologizing to, it all made sense. They knew Liam had the power to destroy Richard’s entire career if he wanted to, Including the business empire he was a CEO of. In that moment, it was obvious to everyone that Richard’s only chance to save himself was to swallow his pride and ask for mercy. It was actual
After dealing with Richard Cole and showing him his place, Liam got his cocktail from the barrister. After some time Liam moved around the yacht, engaging with various attendees and building connections, when he unexpectedly ran into Jeremy. Actually it was Jeremy who had approached him as Liam was deep in conversation with a group of influential business executives. Jeremy had been watching Liam for a while now, waiting for the perfect opportunity to approach him. Jeremy's presence was unmistakable and deliberate.Liam was surprised to see that Jeremy had approached him, nonetheless he was glad that he had approached. Now Liam could have a talk with him and get an idea of who the person who was very obsessed with Karen was, and how to deal with him."Jeremy," Liam greeted him with a polite nod, his tone neutral, though his surprise was evident in his voice"I didn't expect to see you here."Jeremy responded with an arrogant smirk, his voice carrying an air of nonchalance. "Why would
Jeremy staggered backwards from the punch. As he regained his footing, he glared at Liam with a mix of shock and fury. "You! How dare you?" he let out, his voice filled with venom.“Oh my god, what's going on?” Someone in the crowd asked in surprise Did he just hit Jeremy?” someone whispered in disbelief.“Looks like someone is upset.”The crowd was alive with murmurs and speculation, the crowd captivated by the unexpected clash.Liam's expression remained cold as he glared at Jeremy. "Don't talk about her again! Or I'll rip you apart.” He threatened, his tone dangerously icy, sending a shiver down Jeremy's spike.Jeremy gritted his teeth, Infuriated. Without hesitation he lunged at Liam, trying to retaliate. Not knowing anything about Liam, Jeremy thought he stood a chance since he trained in martial arts. However, Liam was ready, watching Jeremy's moves. With a swift and powerful counter, he landed a decisive blow that sent Jeremy crashing into a nearby stand of cocktails. The lou
The tension in the air didn’t go away after the security guards left on the woman's orders. Instead, it shifted, the focus was now squarely on the woman and her unexpected intervention. Jeremy’s face flushed with anger as he realized his control over the situation was slipping. This woman had overruled him in front of everyone, and he could feel the eyes of the guests on him, watching, judging, and expecting to do something to show his authority. After all, he was a member of the Hale family, and it would be humiliating if he couldn’t teach someone who had dared to lay hands on him a lesson, all because of an unexpected intervention.But it wasn’t so simple. The woman who had just arrived was his old sister, and Jeremy knew better than to openly challenge her, especially here, in front of so many influential people. She held more authority than him, and the fact that she could so easily override his decisions made him hesitate. Even though his pride was wounded and his anger boiled j
After some time, Liam and Madelaine decided to get back to the event and rejoin the others. At that time, the photographer was done taking pictures of them and was also about to leave, however he stopped as he wanted to double check that he got good angles of them.As Liam and Madelaine made their way back to the grand hall, the lively atmosphere of the event enveloped them once more. The music and chatter of the guests filled the air, but Liam's mind was still occupied with a lot, particularly he couldn't help feeling like someone was watching him and Madeleine, the whole time as they sat in private. *** A few minutes later, the photographer, who had been stealthily capturing the private moments of Liam and Madelaine, was in a secluded corner near the yacht’s utility area. He reviewed the photos on his camera’s screen, a smug satisfaction on his face. The images displayed Liam and Madelaine in various poses that suggested a closeness that could be misinterpreted by anyone. Anyone w
With the photographer having escaped, Liam returned to the event. However he was frustrated that he let the photographer escape before getting the answers he needed. He couldn’t shake the feeling that he had let something crucial slip through his fingers. Who was behind the attempt to tarnish his reputation with those photos? The question ate at him as he navigated through the lively atmosphere of the yacht, his mind occupied by the evening’s unsettling events. Liam decided to locate Karen. It was growing late, and fatigue was starting to wear down on him, making him think of heading home to rest.After a few minutes of searching, Liam finally spotted Karen near the yacht’s railing,she was engaged in a conversation with her mother, Mrs. Wolfe. The older woman stood with her usual self assured elegance, her face was set in an expression that was calm yet distant. She had always carried an air of superiority, and tonight was no different.Since the day Mrs. Wolfe, Robert, and Mr. Wol
Karen suspected that Elena had approached her and Liam because she was bothered by their presence together. Karen assumed that Elena must be jealous of their relationship and that her feelings for Liam were the cause. However, Karen's assumption was incorrect; The only feelings Elena had for Liam, seemed to be that of a deep heated hatred for him. As for why she had approached them: it was out of simple curiosity about what they were up to. Along with the Simpsons, Elena was deep in a plot that aimed to deliver the final blow to the Danvers family. Knowing Liam's unpredictable nature, Elena wanted to gauge whether he suspected anything or if he remained oblivious to their scheming. So, she approached them with the intent of trying to read Liam, to see if he was onto them or still in the dark about their plans.Realizing her attempt to make Elena jealous was failing, Karen withdrew her hands from Liam, her irritation growing with Elena's presence. She glared at Elena and demanded, “Wh
