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
Nicholas was puzzled. "Your medical skills are already very proficient. If there's a condition that even you can't deal with, our mentor probably won't make much of a difference.""Even so, I want to give it a try. It's possible that …"Nicholas smiled bitterly. He knew what kind of person Lana was. So, he didn't try to talk her out of it. He said, "Our mentor loves to travel. I haven't been able to contact him for two years." "What? How can you not get in touch with him for two whole years?" Nicholas' answer made Lana anxious. Nicholas raised his hands and explained, "Hey, I didn't say that. I said I hadn't been able to contact him. I'm not you. You just don't want to contact him."Although Nicholas took a jab at her, Lana didn't retort. "Can you find a way to get in touch with him? I really need to find him soon."Lana was afraid that Mandy didn't have much longer to live. "I can give it a try. But even if I manage to contact him, there's no guarantee that he would be
Devon's bodyguards didn't dare to defy Rosa since she was so adamant about beating the people up. They knew how much the President doted on his niece, after all. One of the bodyguards picked up a chair and was about to throw it at the counter. Lana abruptly stated, "Do it. Thrash the place. I'll film everything."A bodyguard tried to snatch Lana's phone from her when he saw that she was about to film them. However, Lana was able to evade his grasp with ease. The bodyguards saw that and realized that Lana was a skilled fighter. Thus, they became vigilant. "Mr. President's bodyguards causing a scene in public, and destroying public property. I bet this headline would change everyone's view of the President."All the bodyguards were stunned by Lana's words. They almost destroyed their own careers because of Rosa. While it was true that they were responsible for keeping the President safe, they had no right to lay a hand on other people's private property. If Lana did film it
