The people Liam brought in were well-trained. In just ten minutes, they had replaced all the faucets in Lana's house.The faucets were dazzling. Not only were the kitchen faucets encrusted with 24k pure gold, but even the pipes were adorned with colorful diamonds. It was blindingly shiny.Nadia covered her eyes, afraid that the glare would harm her. "What do we do now, Lana? There's no way I can cook in the future with everything so extravagant." Lana was speechless. Forget about cooking; she wouldn't even dare to go to the bathroom anymore.Liam had utterly ruined her house!Looking at his handwork with satisfaction, Liam instructed Lincoln to pay the workers.Lana said she liked making money. She would definitely like these expensive and creatively designed faucets.He had been so considerate. Lana must be deeply moved, right?Lana took her phone out just as Liam expected to hear words of praise from her."Hello, is this the police? Please come over. There's a weirdo at m
Liam nodded. "That's right, keep them all here!"The women behind Lily cheered in unison. Just a while ago, they were worried that Liam wouldn't be interested in any of them. They never expected him to have such a big appetite that he wanted to keep them all. They were all delighted.Lincoln and Lily had unpleasant expressions on their faces amidst the women's cheers."A-Are you sure you want to keep all of them here, Mr. Liam?" Even Lincoln, who was fearless in the face of danger, was so surprised that he was stuttering.Liam loosened the collar of his shirt with his fingers. "Do you have a problem with that?" he asked annoyedly.There was no way Lincoln would have a problem with it.He was only worried that Liam would exhaust himself to death. In the end, Violet would've been the one who would suffer the most.She had to send away her son and daughter-in-law in her middle age. Now, she had to bid farewell to her beloved grandson in her later years.How was she going to li
Carol waited joyfully for Chris to open the door. However, it was swung open by an unfamiliar woman who was wearing her bathrobe instead."Who are you? And why are you making a scene in front of someone's door in the morning? Are you crazy?" the woman snapped.Carol's eyes turned fierce as she stared at the woman before her. "Who are you? Why are you in my house? And why are you wearing my clothes?"With that, she stepped forward. Carol grabbed the woman by the robe and dragged her outside the door."Who dares to make a scene at my apartment?"Chris appeared just then. He looked at Carol coldly, wearing the bathrobe she had bought for him. Carol could easily imagine how intensely they had spent the previous night from their disheveled attire and appearance.How could he sleep with another woman at her apartment?Not only did Carol feel wronged, she also felt disgusted.This would've never happened if she was with Liam."Chris …" Carol was upset. Tears streamed down the mom
"Where did you hear about this?" Nadia asked as she grabbed Kayla's hand. She was even more anxious than Lana.Kayla shook her head. "I'm sorry, I heard about this from someone else. I didn't have your contact before this, so I couldn't find you."Lana nodded. It was good enough that Kayla would take the risk to tell her. She didn't want to push her further.Lana patted Kayla's hand and said, "Thank you for letting me know. Also, good luck with the competition!"Kayla regained her confidence when Lana mentioned the competition. "Don't worry. This time, I won't let you win so easily."The two of them exchanged a smile.Lana and Nadia soon returned home. However, Nadia had been worried ever since she heard Kayla's warning."Don't be like this, Nadia. You're making me even more nervous," Lana said."But I don't want you to get hurt again," Nadia replied.Lana sighed silently. Nadia was too kind. "Don't worry. Do I look like someone who would just stand and take a beating?"Howe
Are you done discussing? If you have, then scram. We're about to start working," the portly man urged before Lana could reassure her employees."You're going too far." Peter couldn't hold back any longer. He walked toward the portly man as he wielded the ax.Terrified, Lana rushed to restrain Peter along with Billy and the others."Don't act impulsively, Peter. They're here for me. We'll fall into their trap if you resort to violence," she said earnestly."What?" Peter seemed to have come to a realization. "Then what should we do now? We can't just let them demolish the place, can we?" he asked.Lana gave him a reassuring look before she walked back to the man."Usually, there would be a proper procedure for demolition. You've just informed us today that this area will be demolished. And yet, you're going to tear down our shop on the very same day."This is unacceptable. Surely you need to give us some time to prepare?" Lana said. A voice behind the portly man spoke on his b
The portly man and Chris had already left, so there was no point arguing anymore.Peter, Jane, and the others were overjoyed. They welcomed their benefactor, Liam, into the restaurant."Mr. Liam, please have some juice!"Peter personally squeezed a glass of orange juice for Liam and brought it to him. Lana was about to remind Peter that Liam didn't like juice. Instead, he should get him a cup of coffee. However, she decided to let it go when she saw Liam politely accept the glass and take a sip.Lana suddenly felt perplexed.Liam had been acting strange lately!"Mr. Liam, are you hungry? I'll whip up some pasta for you."Jane's eyes were still puffy, so her smile was quite comical at the moment. Lana was quite impressed that Liam didn't lose his composure. It was just after lunch, so Liam wasn't that hungry. But at the thought of the restaurant's mushroom pasta, he couldn't refuse. Liam gladly accepted the offer, so Jane happily went to cook for him. Meanwhile, the others
In the end, Lana went ahead with the competition.After all, she had already reached the finals. She wasn't going to give up.Besides, the rumors circulating online weren't true anyway. So, Lana had nothing to be ashamed of.When Lana arrived at the TV station, she hadn't even stepped out of the cab when she saw a large crowd at the entrance. To be more precise, they were an angry crowd protesting against her.According to the protestors, the TV station made a mistake by allowing someone like Lana to participate in the competition.In the name of righteousness, numerous people rushed to the TV station early in the morning to protest. They were carrying banners while shouting, "Get out, Lana!"Even with the security team from the TV station working together, the commotion couldn't be suppressed. As time passed, the crowd at the entrance not only persisted but also increased."Perhaps I should just drive you back," the cab driver suddenly suggested.Lana hesitated for a moment be
Initially, it was just a small group of people making a fuss.As time went on, more people started realizing that the person standing on stage was the infamous Lana on the internet.How could the production team allow someone with such questionable conduct to take part in the competition?As a result, more and more people joined the protest against Lana.The protest from the audience grew louder, and the host on stage was also taken aback.It seemed like his luck this year was really bad. He thought hosting a popular variety show would be a turning point for his career.But who would have known whenever Lana was present, he would always run into the most heart-stopping moments in his career?This was the finals. And yet, Lana still managed to cause trouble.It was all happening during a live broadcast. If it went on, could the show even continue?Seemed like he wouldn't be able to keep his job today.The show's director tried to appease the crowd. But the more they tried to d
Would Lana forgive him and spend the rest of her life with him?Liam's heart was filled with a sense of anticipation.Since the reason for the incident had been clarified, everyone let out a sigh of relief at the same time and also went back to rest. Even Leonardo was taken away just to give the two people who had been apart for a long time some space to be alone.After everyone had left, Liam straightened out his clothes and approached Lana, then proceeded to slowly crouch down."Lana!"In the man's deep and sexy voice, there was an unusual tremor and a hint of choked emotion.Liam had no idea what kept him going during these years after losing Lana.Liam didn't dare to do anything too bold. Instead, he gently leaned his handsome face against Lana's hand, repeatedly calling her name.Three years had already passed since Lana left in a fit of anger, setting off a series of events afterward.If she still had any resentment, it would have vanished when she saw Liam's tall figu
Liam's outstretched hand awkwardly hung in the air, and eventually, he could only withdraw it."Speak up if you have something to say, or else, stay quiet. We're not in the mood to listen to you." Hector's attitude toward Liam was still unfavorable, to the extent that he didn't even want to see him.Lana suddenly said, "Something very serious actually happened today."Following that, she placed Leonardo down and showed everyone the wound on his neck.A ring of red marks surrounded Leonardo's delicate neck. In some places, the marks were so swollen that it looked like a tire had been wrapped around his neck. It was a shocking sight to behold.Hector, Violet, Mandy, and Romelius were immediately enraged."What happened to Leo?""What happened to his neck? It could have been fatal if it was any worse.""Who was responsible for watching Leo today? How could they be so negligent and let the child get injured so badly?""This doesn't look like any ordinary wound. It looks like it wa
"Stop looking at me like that. If you want to kill or torture me, go ahead." Cynthia knew what would happen to her after the truth came out, so she gave up struggling. "However, even after my death, I'll haunt you for the rest of your life!"As they listened to her absurd threat, Lana and the Traffic Light Trio burst into laughter."If ghosts were real, then Emilia would be the first to look for you."When her deceased sister was mentioned, Cynthia's smile remained unchanged. "That fool probably never knew it was me who betrayed her until her death."Considering the situation, Cynthia didn't believe she could leave the Garrison Villa tonight."What exactly do you gain by single-handedly destroying the Cooper family?"Lana was still very confused by Cynthia's actions.After all, Emilia and Cynthia were twins and had the same blood coursing through their veins. With all the Coopers gone, Cynthia had nothing to gain from it either!Cynthia sneered at Lana's question. "Lana, yo
On the evening of the banquet, the Garrison Villa was bustling with distinguished guests.Initially, everyone's attention was on the precious great-grandson of the Garrison and Kane family. With his confident and lively demeanor, the chubby child was absolutely adorable. Everyone was naturally curious about who the child might have chosen as his stepmother.It should be noted that the Garrison and Kane family only had one great-grandson. His future was destined to be extraordinary. As long as one could control the child, it was much more worthwhile than dealing with those individuals from the two affluent families.After all, the elders from the two families were very attentive and doting toward this child. Surprisingly, Liam, who was said to have been away from home for a long time, had returned. During the reception of guests, he unexpectedly had a smile on his face.The ladies who had come tonight, vying for the position of Liam's wife, became even more excited.Liam typi
On the night before the banquet, Romelius and Mandy finally brought Leonardo back.Lana was overjoyed, and she immediately went to the bungalow where they were staying.At that time, Leonardo had just returned home and was playing with toys on the living room floor."Leo, you're back! Did you miss Mommy? Mommy missed you so much!"Lana ran toward Leonardo, talking to him while reaching out to hug him. In a flash, Leonardo suddenly ran toward Romelius while holding a toy car.After that, he kept hiding in his arms, refusing to come out. He would occasionally peek out from the gaps to glance at Lana.His actions clearly showed that he refused to accept Lana.Lana's enthusiasm was dampened, and her outstretched arms awkwardly remained in midair. She looked at Romelius and then at Mandy as if waiting for them to persuade Leonardo. However, these two remained silent and only greeted Lana in a casual manner."Oh, Lana, you've come?" Mandy said while presenting her with a basket o
Due to the fact that the Garrison family was going to hold a banquet to introduce the mother of their beloved great-grandson, Leonardo, the Garrisons once again became the talk of the town in Dawsbury.The last time Dawsbury was so lively was when Hector introduced the Garrison family's heir to everyone.As soon as the news was released, the Garrisons became noticeably busier in the following days. All of them were busy scurrying around and helping Hector deliver the invitations.In addition to people who had business dealings with the Garrison family, the invitations were naturally sent to people who were familiar with Lana in the past. Therefore, as soon as the Traffic Light Trio received the invitation, they didn't even go to work and immediately ran to Liam's office—intending to get an explanation from him.At that time, Liam had just finished a phone call from overseas and was deep in thought when the office door was suddenly kicked open.Lincoln stood at the door, looking
With that, Sawyer ignored the unpleasant expressions on Freya and Hector's faces. He immediately picked up his child and walked away.Hector was furious. He glared at Liam, his eyes burning with anger. It was clear that he thought Liam was the one responsible for Lana's predicament.Liam was once again innocently caught in the crossfire.Freya set aside her current tasks, offered some comforting words to Hector, and then got up and chased after them.She knew Sawyer well enough and was certain that he would never have treated someone like this unless there was a reason.As Freya's family of three left, Lana's face bore a sorrowful expression. "Since I'm not welcome here, I guess I'll just go."With that, Lana got up and walked toward the door.Hector and Violet had been waiting for Lana's return for a long time. Now that she was finally back, how could they possibly let her go?Naturally, the two of them chased after Lana and tried to talk her out of leaving. They eventually ma
Liam sensed a challenging undertone in Lana's stare. After all this time, had they truly become adversaries?Releasing Lana abruptly, Violet gently patted her arm, her eyes filled with profound hurt."You're here, alive and well. Why did you leave us in the shadows? Even if you chose not to contact anyone else, you should've considered reaching out to me. Do you have any idea how much I missed you?"Over the years, Violet had been grappling with a deep sense of loss.Though it remained an unspoken sentiment among them, Violet was aware of the underlying blame directed toward Liam for what was believed to be Lana's demise.Had Liam been more emotionally available, their relationship wouldn't have crumbled. It would've stopped Lana from seeking refuge overseas while carrying their child, an act that set the stage for her heartbreaking destiny.Witnessing Liam's anguish and believing Lana to be lost forever had taken a severe toll on Violet's health, aging her considerably."Gr
Liam guided Leo to Lana's room.As they entered, Lana was already awake, bathed in the serene morning light streaming through the window.Upon hearing their arrival, Lana, while brushing her hair, shifted her gaze toward them—a familiar scene echoing times gone by."Good morning, Liam and Leo!" she greeted them effortlessly.Without hesitation, Leonardo squirmed out of Liam's embrace and darted toward Lana, exclaiming, "Hi, Nana!"Lana paused, momentarily surprised by Leonardo's nickname. "Leo, you should be calling me 'Mommy'!" she gently corrected him.Leonardo hesitated momentarily before redirecting his attention to Liam.Even though Liam hadn't exchanged a single word with Lana, he spoke up when Leo glanced his way, firmly stating, "Feel free to do as you wish. There's no need to seek my approval. Alright?"Leonardo nodded obediently and turned his gaze back to Lana, continuing to address her as "Nana."While Lana appeared somewhat displeased by this unexpected turn of ev
