Lana left the Garrison family's garden and relied on her memory to return to the banquet hall.To avoid drawing attention, she initially wanted to slip in through the back of the banquet hall. However, it didn't go the way she wanted it to. The Garrison's estate was so enormous that the hallway was even more daunting. Lana wandered around for a long time to find the correct path to the hall.She could only move along the long hallway, slowly opening one door at a time. Although tedious, it was also the safest method to locate the banquet hall.However, the mildew smell from the rooms that had not been occupied for years was really revolting. Finally, Lana let out a sigh of relief when she stumbled upon a room with light inside.Lana walked in and discovered that the room was significantly different from the ones she had seen earlier.This room was easily five times larger than the others. The interior was also nothing short of opulence and extravagance. It was adorned with a v
While Rosa was inwardly pleased, several bootlickers seized the opportunity to shower her with compliments. They left her almost swooning."Rosa, among all the ladies here, you have the most distinguished background. Mr. Garrison Senior is extremely wise, he'll definitely choose you to be his granddaughter-in-law!""Congratulations, Rosa! When you become the lady of the Garrison family, don't forget about us!""What are you talking about? Rosa's such a loyal person. She'll never forget about us when she becomes the lady of the Garrison family!"Rosa blushed, and her heart raced. She immediately said, "Stop making things up. The engagement hasn't even been finalized yet. "Besides, Emilia is still here, and she's so perfect. If Mr. Garrison Senior wants an exceptional granddaughter-in-law, he'll probably choose someone like her."Although she said that, Rosa didn't think that way at all.Emilia was intelligent, capable and undeniably beautiful. However, she was also very cold and
At this moment, Rosa lost all interest in watching Lana's misfortune. She was completely captivated by the breathtaking man before her.She had finally met him again."Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I am Liam Kane, and I look forward to your support and guidance in the future."His magnetic and husky voice, along with his straightforward manner of speaking, was very much in line with his style.The man's words were so concise and to the point that they made the young ladies in the crowd go wild.Liam stood on the stage, receiving the attention of everyone.While others admired his appearance, physique, and other qualities, Liam's profound gaze was constantly searching for something.Then he saw a stunning woman in white, not too far from the stage on the left. She was staring at him with a piercing gaze.Her way of regarding him differed from the bashful, indirect gazes of the other women in the crowd. Her gaze was piercing and unwavering, locking onto him like the eyes of
"Gilsbury seemed to have held you back and wasn't suitable for your development. You've made the right decision to come to Dawsbury."Are you interested in joining our research on mobile phone base stations? We have a team of experts, but we need your technical expertise. Mr. Kane, would you consider a collaboration for mutual benefit?"Emilia had quite the knack for this.Even if she had admired Liam, she wouldn't show it overtly. Instead, she played her cards based on Liam's preferences. This method had been proven effective in gaining the favor of others.Liam was no exception either.At first, he was fooled by Emilia's outward appearance. He always thought that she was just another pretty but useless heiress, just like the ladies he had known in the past.But as they talked more, Liam realized that the beautiful lady before him was different than the ones he had known before.She was decisive and had sharp business acumen. It was no wonder when he looked her in the eyes on t
"Grandpa Hector, I don't wanna be a slacker at such a young age. You should consider someone else."Lana's refusal only made Hector and the other bigwigs think that she was a diamond in the rough. Even with such favorable conditions, Lana was still indifferent about it. She was clearly ambitious!Hector was still looking for excuses to trick Lana into marrying his grandson, but someone actually took her words seriously.Out of nowhere, Freya suddenly spoke up, "Dad, I think Ms. Clark is right. She's still young and ambitious. She doesn't want to waste her life being a slacker. Since she's willing to pass this opportunity to someone else, I have a very suitable candidate."Despite Hector's murderous gaze, Freya continued, "I've always heard about Emilia from the Watson family. She's not only attractive, but she's also known for her outstanding abilities. I saw her earlier, and she really lives up to the expectations."I think that if she's with Liam, it would be a win-win situat
Lana successfully escaped from the living room and rushed back to the banquet hall.She had to apologize to Liam and ask for his forgiveness.Lana felt heartbroken when she thought about the things Liam had done for her. In the end, she had taken his kindness for granted.In order to meet her, Liam even had his personal chef prepare seafood chowder overnight and personally brought it to her on his private jet.But what about her?Not only did she mock him, she even ridiculed him in front of others.What was more, Liam acquired the patent for her 6G smartphone processor, estimated to be at least five times more than the market price. This allowed her to make a substantial amount of money. Yet, she still thought that he was a fool with too much money on hand.If it weren't for love, would a high-and-mighty man like Liam be willing to do so much for her?At that moment, Lana remembered what Liam had said to her before. He told her to wait for him in Dawsbury, and he would reunit
Just when everyone thought that Lana was about to get it, a loud slap echoed through the entire banquet hall.However, the person who was struck wasn't Lana.Rosa covered her burning cheek with her hand, her eyes were brimming with tears. She glared at Lana with contempt."How dare you hit me?"She had always been treated like a princess since she was a child. No one had ever dared to hit her.And it was in front of so many people!Lana looked at her with an air of indifference. "What's the matter? Do I need to make an appointment to hit you? You were the one who started it. I'm not foolish enough to just stand there and let you hit me."How ridiculous!Does she even need a reason to hit someone?Rosa was so ashamed and embarrassed that she rushed toward Lana again without thinking.Facts had once again proven that Rosa was really a mindless fool.She couldn't even hit Lana in a surprise attack, so was a direct attack even possible?All that they could hear on the scene w
When he heard that his grandson finally agreed, Hector smiled so hard that his face wrinkles deepened."I've got good taste, right?" Hector smiled like a child who had just gotten his favorite toy."I've told you before, you'll definitely be satisfied with her!"Before Hector could continue to brag, Liam suddenly looked at Lana. She was playfully taunting the bodyguards. With a smirk, he said. "Bring her to my room."As soon as Liam said this, everyone in the room was paralyzed in fear.Even the bodyguards were so frightened that they could barely speak. "Mr. Liam, you really … really want to take her down?"Upon hearing this, Liam responded coldly, "I don't want to repeat myself!"The head of the bodyguards felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly acted on it.Liam was younger than him. He wasn't even involved in the same dangerous field as him. However, every time Liam spoke, he couldn't help but feel that Liam's words could freeze someone to death.Hector finally realize
