"Why?"

Lana wanted to know why he would lower the price. She wasn't a fool. She had spent a long time developing this processor.

If Liam's offered price was unreasonable, she wouldn't sell him this patented technology.

Liam said bluntly, "You're rich!"

Lana was speechless. So she should be taken advantage of just because she's rich?

"Even if I have money, this is the result of my hard work, Liam. You shouldn't be so stingy!"

Liam fell silent.

This was rare. Liam had never heard someone call him stingy in all his life.

Lana continued to tease him. "With this attitude, you'll definitely never find a wife in the future!"

"It's none of your business whether I get a wife or not!" Liam was a bit angry, and his tone became harsh.

He added, "Or are you worried that you won't get married? So, you'd rather see me unable to find a wife."

She quickly struck a seductive pose and said, "Do you think I wou

    Lana took the nearest flight and arrived at the Southern Star Studios well into the late hours of the night. By the time she reached the hospital where Mandy was, it was already past three in the morning. The hospital had modest facilities, and Mandy lay in bed, semi-conscious. After removing her makeup, her complexion looked unnaturally pale. She appeared extremely frail.What surprised Lana was that Romelius had arrived even before her. "Lana, why are you here?" Romelius was both happy and surprised when he saw Lana."Isabelle called me and told me that Mandy had fainted, so I came," Lana explained.She found it rather strange that Romelius was there as well. "And you?"Romelius was quite straightforward in his response. "I saw it in the trending news."It turned out that Mandy had collapsed on set, and her fans had posted about it on Twitter, making it a trending topic. Mandy's fans were deeply concerned about her. Many of them wanted to go to the hospital to take care of

    Watching Lana's innocent smile, Romelius couldn't bring himself to blame her. She probably didn't mean it that way."Lana, I just want to recover on my own. I don't want to be anyone's burden."Since learning about her illness, Mandy had never considered telling anyone. She was racing against time to find her child and take on as many roles as possible to create more memories for her fans. She wanted to leave all her legacy behind for her child, nothing more."Mandy, you haven't burdened anyone. It's me who has burdened you by insisting on taking care of you. I'm sorry."Mandy remained silent.Lana's words made her feel embarrassed."Lana, I suspect you're deliberately going against me to annoy me."Lana smiled mischievously. "Then you can think of it that way."After all, she already knew what illness Mandy had, and she had no intention of leaving her side.Romelius had already bought breakfast for Mandy. He quietly peeled a boiled egg for her before handing her a piece of

    "To be honest, I always thought you and Liam would last because you were such a perfect match," Darla said. Darla knew she shouldn't try to prevent the breakup. But she believed that if Lana was gone, it would be a lifelong loss for Liam. So, even though it might be unseemly, Darla intended to address it for Liam's sake. "Lana, can you tell me what led to this point between you two?" Darla noticed that Lana wasn't eager to discuss this topic and quickly added, "I'm not here to persuade you to reconcile. I just saw how miserable Liam has been lately."She continued, "You know, we've depended on our grandmother since childhood. As the older sister, I can't stand to see my younger siblings suffer. So, I want to understand the reasons, but Liam doesn't want to talk to me about it."So, Liam was also suffering! Lana had believed that only she was hurting."He's sad too?" Lana's tone was icy.

    "Mr. Quinn, are you alright?" The doctor held Romelius and administered first aid. Shortly afterward, Romelius woke up. However, as he regained consciousness, Romelius immediately grabbed the doctor's white coat tightly. He asked, "Doctor, everything you said earlier, is it true?"The doctor thought Romelius wanted to settle scores and began recounting the incident."Mr. Quinn, please don't get too upset. Let me explain." The doctor tried to calm Romelius, but Romelius's iron grip on his coat left him immobilized. He had no choice but to explain the situation.

She is a fan of Ms. Mandy and Ms. Lana."She noticed the striking similarities in their behaviors, especially some of Ms. Lana's expressions and gestures. It really resembled Ms. Mandy in her youth.

    "Didn't I already say in the morning that we can go back tomorrow?"Lana wondered if once a person got sick, it weakened all their senses. They had already booked their flight back to Dawsbury City for tomorrow afternoon. This decision had even been made after discussing it with Mandy. So, why was she asking the same question again?Mandy made an effort to hide her joy and spoke gently, "Oh, I guess my memory fails me when I'm sick.""It's okay, Mandy. As long as I'm here, you'll definitely be safe."Listening to Lana's comforting words, Mandy smiled and said, "Lana, my mouth has been feeling dry these past few days, and I can't eat much. "Could you go to a bigger supermarket and buy me some strawberries, oranges, and bananas? I want something to stimulate my appetite."Mandy hadn't been eating since she fell ill.

"I remember you didn't smoke as much as this."Liam quickly extinguished the cigarette and helped Violet sit on the balcony chair. "Why are you still awake, Grandma?"Violet looked full of concern. "Every time I think about you going back to that cutthroat place, I can't sleep."Liam reassured her, "Grandma, don't you trust me? Am I that easy to defeat?"Violet shook her head. "It's not that I don't trust you. I don't trust that place. I cherished something my whole life, and they took it away. I just can't bear to let you go back there.""Don't worry, Grandma.

    Seeing Joyce's sad expression, Bentley suddenly reached his hand out. He seemed to want to pat her shoulder for comfort. But in the next moment, he immediately withdrew his hand."Mandy is seriously ill now. Who knows if she can be cured? But once she passes away, Romelius will surely forget her completely."He added, "After all, so many years have passed, and you still have Ms. Rosa. Are you really worried that he won't come back to you?" Joyce shook her head repeatedly at the mention of Rosa. "I'm sorry. It's my fault for not teaching her properly. She shouldn't have said those things to you. After all, you are her—"Joyce's words were cut short when Bentley sternly interrupted her, "Nonsense. Ms. Rosa is just a child. Why should I take her words to heart? It's you who should be more cautious in a family like this. Don't expose any of your weaknesses to others."If it were any other time, a servant who dared to speak to Joyce like this would be reprimanded. But Bentley, surpris

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.

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?

"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.

    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.

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

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?"

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

    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

"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.
