…Haley sat on her apartment couch. Beside her was a bag of popcorn and in her hand was her phone as she read through the netizens’ comments online. “Isn’t the Nash Family too heartless?”“This is a huge revelation.”“So Desmond Nash has a skeleton hidden in his closet.”“What did that poor homeless girl do?”“Would he gain anything from killing her?”“I heard Desmond Nash has anger issues, is it true?”“By the way, who is that girl?”“Probably one of the servants from the Nash Mansion.”“Tsk! Indeed, they're heartless!”“Never am I rooting for that mean old couple again.”“It's surprising though… isn't Leah supposed to be their daughter-in-law?”“Right! Why would she kick Vera on the leg?”“To frame that young lady whose back was to the camera, duh!”“How cruel! I bet Vera doesn't care about her life as long as she gets her selfish desires.”“Same goes for that entire family!”“Well, I have a feeling that lady in the footage might be the same girl Desmond is after.”“What else can

The voices floated through one of the doors in the hallway.Merely whispers, it was difficult to recognize them at first.Liam paused in front of the door, frowning at their words.Leah and his father.What were they discussing?What plan?And why were they in his parents’ room instead of downstairs?As the voices continued speaking, an uneasy feeling settled on Liam's chest.“Don’t worry, Leah…” His father continued. “As long as I'm here, no harm will come to you.”Leah sounded frustrated as she replied, “Well, are you also safe? Aren't people dragging you online?”“It's Haley's fault! I'll make sure she suffers for it!”“Forget about Haley!” Leah scoffed. “There's no way we can frame her this time.”A moment of silence passed by. Then the middle-aged man's heavy sigh resounded through the walls. “You know how much I love you, Leah… Don't think too much about this tiny issue. I'll do whatever it takes to protect you.”“I'm just afraid Vera will see that footage,” Leah murmured, her

Haley's heart skipped a beat.It was too late to turn back.Too late to go back to the car and remain sitting there, wishing he'd disappear.Coming face to face with Liam, she came to a screeching halt, the shock immobilizing her.Liam's expression mirrored the same shock as his eyes widened in astonishment.Then he glanced from her to her parents, suspicion flashing in his eyes.Haley couldn't tell what he was thinking, neither could she tell the assumption in his mind.A sudden look of suspicion flashed in his eyes, followed by betrayal.He stood there, his lips parted but didn't say a word.“Hmph!” Haley's mother scoffed, breaking the momentary silence.Liam was blocking their path, and the woman grabbed Haley's hand. “Let's get out of here.”Without another word, they nudged past him, her mother bumping shoulders with him in fact.But the woman didn't care.Her rage towards Liam was all evident on her face.After what he and his mother did to their family, it was hard to speculate

Haley instantly became the center of attention, all eyes turning in her direction.Her mother's question hit her, chasing away the distraction.Damnit!Everyone gave her confused looks including Lana who'd been the cause of her distraction. In the heat of the moment, she'd forgotten the conversation they were having in the room, even mentioning Liam's surname, Nash.Of course, Haley would never suggest that name to anyone even in her sleep.The last name on her mind, she detested hearing it or someone mentioning it.How could she ever call her nephew that name?Clearing her throat, Haley let out a nervous laughter. She addressed her mother's question, “No, Mum, you heard me wrong. I mean Ash, not Nash… Ash as in Asher.”Haley's lie hit home.Everyone nodded in understanding, the confusion disappearing from their eyes.In fact, her parents looked relieved, and so was her brother.They must have been suspecting the same thing,That she mentioned the Nash Family's name intentionally.

~She paused, her shoulders tensing up. Her back was facing him, and Liam couldn't tell her expression.He could only guess that she looked as shocked as he felt right now.Never did he expect those words to be so easy to say.The words which had been weighing heavily on his heart.He'd thought it'd take decades before he would finally be able to say them.He was sorry!Indeed,He shouldn't have mistreated Haley.Of all people, he shouldn't have distrusted her.The only people whom he trusted happened to deceive him.His mother… his father,And Leah!He shouldn't have pushed Haley away when she so desperately wanted him by her side.Now that she was pushing him away…Liam wasn't himself!He'd never been himself ever since he realized his mistake. He should have protected her from his parents' bullying earlier.If he hadn't turned a blind eye to it from the beginning, it wouldn't have led to this.It wouldn't have led to Haley taking this measure to get his parents off her back.Liam
