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
"B-but—" Rosa continued to stammer, failing to articulate a coherent sentence."Could it be that Rosa was just overconfident?""It seems so. Didn't you see the expression on her face when Mr. Garrison Senior had only just met her? It was hilarious.""I can't stand people who act so high and mighty."Listening to the comments about herself, Rosa's face was colored with different shades of embarrassment. She hurriedly looked for the girls who had praised her earlier, attempting to get them to step forward and help. However, those girls had already distanced themselves, afraid of being associated with her. They were whispering and pointing at her like everyone else.It was a stab to her heart. If not for their praises, she wouldn't have become so arrogant. It was all their fault. When she got back, she was going to complain to her mother. She would make them pay.Instead of garnering attention, she ended up playing a fool. Rosa could only slink away in shame. However, she wo
As soon as Lana changed into clean clothes, she heard a helicopter arrive. As it landed on the Garrison Villa's lawn, it drew the attention of many guests."Hey, isn't that the woman who was taken to Liam's room earlier?" someone exclaimed, puzzled."No wonder everyone wants to marry a wealthy man. Look, she's flying in a helicopter today. Maybe she'll be given a mansion and a luxury car tomorrow?" "What are you jealous of? She's beautiful, confident, and elegant. Do you have any of that?"As the onlookers discussed, a tall figure boarded the helicopter. Lana, like everyone else, stared at him in confusion."Why are you getting on too?" she asked.Liam didn't reply. He simply sat down beside her. Then, the helicopter swiftly ascended and took off.During the journey to the hospital, Lana was so deeply buried in her worries that she didn't even notice the loud noise of the helicopter engines. Then, a pair of headphones suddenly appeared over her head.Soothing music drowned out
After conducting a simple diagnosis on Mandy and confirming she was alright, Lana suggested that Liam should go back and rest. She and Mandy were friends. So, it was only natural for her to stay, but Liam wasn't obligated. There was no need for him to stay the night at the hospital.Romelius also agreed with Lana's suggestion. He pointed out that Mandy needed rest, and having too many people around wouldn't help. So Lana escorted Liam back to the rooftop helipad, intending to see him off.As he had no medical expertise, Liam knew he would only be in the way if he stayed. Besides, he had some matters to discuss with Hector. Thus, he boarded the helicopter without any protest.Just as he was about to get on, Lana suddenly ran up to him and hugged him tightly around the waist. "Liam, I was wrong. From now on, I won't leave you. Even if you ask me to go, I won't."Finally, a genuine smile appeared on his face. It was a rare sight. However, it disappeared as quickly as it had come
Lana's decisive and powerful movements not only shocked Joyce, whom she sent flying but also surprised Romelius and Mandy.Everyone was aware that Lana's kick was something that had to be honed through practice. So, she was probably a skilled fighter. Lana looked slender. So, no one really expected her to be so strong. Joyce was kicked to the wall, and then she fell heavily onto the ground. She was in so much pain she couldn't even move. She only managed to get up after lying still on the ground for a while. "How … dare you attack me?"Lana was amused. Joyce was indeed Rosa's mother. They said the exact same thing after being beaten. "It's only fair. If you want to hit someone, expect to get hit back." Then, Lana's stern gaze fell on Romelius. "What about you? You just watched as she was hitting someone?"Romelius felt wronged. "I didn't just stand by and watch. I tried to stop her but failed."Lana sneered. "Got it. You're a weakling."He can't even restrain a woman. Th
If what happened between Romelius and Mandy was exposed to the public, it would tear down the reputation she built over the years. Not only that, it would also impact Romelius' career adversely. That would send the Quinn Family into a spiral. If that happened, it wouldn't just be Romelius' problem. He never thought Joyce could be so heartless that she would try to bring the entire Quinn Family to ruin for her greed. Romelius was at a loss for words from his anger. He took a while to regain his composure. Then, he said, "You wouldn't dare!"Joyce had already tidied up her clothing and bag. She adjusted the straps of her branded bag and said, "You left me no choice. It's an eye for an eye. If anything happens to the Quinn family, it would be your fault." Joyce strutted out of the room with her nose in the air. Before leaving, she stopped in her tracks. With her back facing Romelius, she said, "I'll give you one day to reconsider. If you do not undo the asset transfer by
