After the guests settled into their seats, Hector gracefully took the stage, expressing gratitude for their presence and blessings on his grandson's special day.Concluding with an invitation to enjoy the feast, he returned to the main table, only to discover Liam and Violet were missing.Perplexed, he turned to Darla. "Darla, where are Lee and your grandmother?"Darla, with a concerned expression, explained Violet's going off alone and Liam's ongoing search. "Lee is still looking for Grandma right now!""What? Why wasn't I informed earlier? I'll dispatch security right away to locate her," Hector exclaimed.Having mobilized the security team, Hector tried calling Liam, only to learn that Violet was already safely back.However, her disheveled state caught their attention—dirty clothes, tousled hair, and a complexion that hinted at distress.Hector personally escorted Violet to freshen up, determined to uncover what had transpired.In clean attire, with help from Darla and the
Emilia, adept at navigating diverse social circles since childhood, took pride in her sophistication.Even when detecting the slightest hint of a potential misstep, she effortlessly maintained a commendable composure. Wearing a serene and collected smile, she gracefully approached Violet."Grandma Violet, what a delightful surprise to encounter you at the foot of the mountain. Fate has truly brought us together," Emilia remarked with a warm and friendly tone.With an affectionate gesture, she gracefully linked her arm with Violet's. "Have you been staying in Dawsbury recently? Allow me to play the host and show you around."Violet was immediately taken aback.This young lady not only possessed an inflated sense of superiority but also displayed a remarkable lack of shame in her demeanor.Typically, upon realizing a mistake, offering an apology would be the expected course of action.However, Emilia deviated from the norm. She pretended as if nothing had happened and immediately
After attending Hector's grandson's milestone celebration, Cherry couldn't shake off her gloomy mood.She decided to have a heart-to-heart with Hector, expressing her desire to find her place in Dawsbury instead of staying at Garrison Villa.Considering the remote location might not align with the preferences of young people who enjoy lively surroundings, Hector agreed to her request.When the time came for Cherry to leave, Liam volunteered to drive her to her new place.The atmosphere in the car mirrored their usual interactions at home—Liam focused on driving, and Cherry occupied the passenger seat, engrossed in scrolling through social media and shopping apps.An unspoken understanding permeated the air, and neither of them disturbed the other.As the car pulled up to the renowned hotel, Liam caught Cherry off guard by handing her an exclusive bank card just as she was about to step out.Perplexed, she glanced at him and asked, "Why are you giving me your exclusive bank card?
Soon, the companies participating in the bidding began to take the stage to introduce the products they had developed.As time went on, Lana and Matthew grew more confident.From their perspective, the products developed by other companies were simply not in the same league as theirs.Whether in terms of cost or space, their product was the best.As the presentation went on, Matthew's smile became increasingly radiant.Lana felt the same way as well. They were confident that they would win this tender, as long as no other strong competitors appeared today.However, they soon realized that things don't always go as planned.Soon, Emilia, representing the Watson family's aerospace company, took the stage and began her presentation.However, as soon as her presentation was projected onto the screen, Lana and Matthew's faces drained of color.They looked at each other in disbelief, then turned back to look at the product Emilia was presenting on the stage.Matthew said in disbeli
Lana became an overnight sensation after "slandering" Emilia's impressive achievements during the bidder conference.However, this time she became famous for the wrong reasons!Would Lana's aerospace company still be able to continue its operation in Dawsbury after offending a behemoth like the Watson family?Why was Lana so courageous at that moment?She actually dared to slander Emilia in front of so many people?She was simply too bold!Under Emilia's personal Twitter account, numerous sharp-tongued individuals turned up to join the "battle". Some even managed to dig up Lana's Twitter account and began to mercilessly attack her through her post. Some even went as far as sending direct messages to attack her personally."You think you're all that just because you're Mandy's daughter? Do you think you can simply slander others? You really live up to being the daughter of an actress, a true drama queen.""You used to be so quick with your comebacks, but now you're so quiet. A
"If I need your help, I will definitely ask for it. For now, I can still handle it."Lana, as always, refused Liam's help whenever something happened.She just thought that it wasn't the right time yet. She could still handle the situation at hand.However, her actions only made Liam feel even more sorry for her.Liam suddenly stepped forward and enveloped Lana in a tight embrace. "What am I supposed to do with you? I can't stand seeing you treated like this."Lana obviously had such a strong supporter by her side. Even if she used Liam once, he wouldn't suffer any loss.Such were the thoughts going through Liam's mind. Lana tightly embraced Liam back. "Can you please stop worrying about me? I'm really not as fragile as you think I am."Lana had overcome many difficulties in the past. Such a small matter was nothing to her.Liam suddenly proposed, "I'll go have a talk with Emilia!"Lana let go of him and stared into his deep eyes for a while. Then she smiled and said, "Even
"Are you kidding me?"Even at this point, Emilia still couldn't believe the relationship between Liam and Lana.Liam didn't leave Emilia any room for doubt. "We met when we were in Gilsbury, and I came back to the Garrison family because she wanted to build her future in Dawsbury."Emilia was rendered speechless.It turned out that Liam and Lana had been secretly in cahoots for quite some time."I understand what kind of person Lana is, and I've been with her every step of the way. I've been following her product development from the very beginning, so no one knows better than me whether what she said is true or not."Emilia, I can't believe you would do something like this. Not only did you claim someone else's work as your own, but you even have the audacity to profit from it!"Liam lost his cool for the first time in front of an outsider.That was because he knew how difficult Lana's life had been!He wouldn't let all of Lana's efforts go to waste!Today, he would definite
The projector displayed a screenshot from Emilia's Twitter post, which she claimed to be one of the "evidence".The screenshot showed a middle-aged man with a receding hairline. He was wearing glasses, but he didn't look wise at all. With a somewhat sullen expression, he worked diligently in front of the computer.The employees immediately asked, "Lana, is this man involved in this incident?"Lana nodded and turned to Matthew. "Mr. Miller, do you recognize this man?"Matthew squinted and looked at the screenshot for a moment. Then, he suddenly shouted, "It's him! It's him!"Seeing him in a frenzy, Lana and the employees knew something was up.Visibly agitated, Matthew pointed to the man on the projector and said, "When I worked in the state-owned enterprise, this person used to be my assistant. "He started as an intern with me and later became a permanent employee. However, for some unknown reason, he suddenly resigned."I haven't heard anything about him in so long. I thought
