Meanwhile, Liam wrapped up his meeting and swiftly made his way to the hospital. Stepping into the ward, he found Darla sternly reproaching Cherry."Your words are nothing but your opinions, and it's not a good look."Flaunting that arrogance in front of me? The Kane family doesn't tolerate those who forget kindness and resort to malice," Darla asserted."Darla, even after what Lana did to Grandma, why are you still defending her?" Cherry retorted.Darla's voice rose in intensity, "Hey, let's leave it to the police to figure out if Lana had any hand in Grandma's situation, alright?"And about sending Lana's parents packing and tagging Emilia as the new daughter-in-law—who gave you the authority for that move? If Lee catches wind of this, any guesses on what your fate might be?"A flicker of worry crossed Cherry's face at the mention of Liam's name. "Darla, please don't tell Lee about this."Darla countered sharply, "Even if I didn't tell him, do you genuinely believe he'll never
Upon Liam's arrival at the hospital, he found Darla tending to Marcel with a restrained demeanor. Hurrying over, Liam nervously stated, "Mr. Marcel, I'm diligently gathering evidence to expedite Lana's release."Marcel gave him an indifferent glance and then regarded him with an oddly intense expression.It appeared as though Marcel had something to say but struggled to articulate it.Sensing an unusual atmosphere, Liam instinctively approached, only to be pushed away by Marcel. "Please communicate respectfully. What's the reason for invading my personal space?" he scolded. Once again puzzled, Liam wondered why Marcel was behaving this way when it was clear that he had something on his mind.At that moment, Marcel took out a black pill from his pocket and handed it to Liam.Both Liam and Darla exclaimed simultaneously, "This is …"Remaining composed, Marcel explained, "This pill is for Madam Violet. If she takes it, she should wake up by tomorrow night."Given Lana's renown
"Grandma Violet, you're awake?" Emilia gasped.Years of navigating the business world's ups and downs had honed Emilia's reflexes, and she quickly discerned that Violet had regained consciousness.To lend authenticity to her response, Emilia clasped her hands together and exclaimed, "Thank goodness you're awake!"Despite the lingering warmth on her face, Violet couldn't help but find it ironic to be met with Emilia's feigned concern."Do you genuinely want me to wake up, or do you secretly hope I never do? Deep down, you know the answer," Violet confronted Emilia.Emilia's complexion grew even paler. Before she could react, Violet had risen from the bed.Instinctively, Emilia took a few steps back, her gaze closely tracking Violet's every move.Once Violet was on the floor, she deliberately walked toward the crushed pill Emilia had stepped on.Adopting a posture as if handling something cherished, she delicately picked up the remnants."It's quite the spectacle that you swung
"There's no need to hash this out here. We've got evidence. You better come with us," the police officer declared.The idea of the Watson family heiress getting hauled off by the cops—now that would stir up quite the scandal, wouldn't it?Emilia was dead set on avoiding that."I'm a law-abiding citizen. You can't force me into anything without solid evidence," she argued.Unfortunately, her defiance fell on deaf ears, especially with the Kane family no longer willing to tolerate Emilia's hypocritical façade.In a surprising move, Liam whipped out a USB drive and handed it to the police."This contains the morning surveillance footage of this room, showing how she harmed my grandmother."Officers, please assist my grandmother. She's already been through enough, and I can't bear to see her suffer any more harm."All the credit for Emilia's true nature being exposed was owed to Marcel.Had Marcel not shown up last night and uncovered the listening device under Violet's bed, Liam
Lana fixed her gaze on the document in Liam's hands. Unable to contain her curiosity, she couldn't help but ask, "Liam, where did you find this?"Romelius and Mandy, both recipients of Liam's revelation, wore expressions of disbelief.Mandy scrutinized the document, her eyebrows furrowing. "Is this a marriage certificate? How on earth did you get this?"Romelius, ever the cautious one, chimed in, "Liam, creating a marriage certificate privately is illegal, you know that, right?"Liam's gaze softened as he looked at the paper. "Actually, Lana and I got married three years ago."This bombshell hit Romelius and Mandy hard. Lana had never breathed a word about this, leaving them bewildered.Mandy voiced her disbelief, "What nonsense is this? Three years ago? Did Lana even know you back then?"Lee, expressing a desire to marry Lana is one thing, but fabricating stories is another. Weren't your eyes still—"Liam interjected, "Yes, Lana married me three years ago when I was visually i
In collaboration with Marcel, Liam devised a clever plan to unveil the culprit.Yet, instead of bringing the murderer to light, their strategy had inadvertently laid bare Emilia's deceitful nature within Dawsbury's high society.Still recuperating from her narrow escape, Violet found herself the focus of Emilia's malicious intentions.In response, Liam retaliated by revealing Emilia's actions against Violet. It swiftly turned the Watson family into the talk of ridicule throughout Dawsbury.In a surprising twist to avenge Emilia's ploy against Lana, Liam collaborated with Matthew and released compelling evidence. Without Lana's knowledge, they hastily convened a sudden press conference.Leading the conference was Matthew, the director of Lana-Stellar Aerospace Technology Corporation, alongside Norman.Matthew was a trailblazer in Zanteles' aerospace industry and a hero to many in the aerospace community. He saw a rising star in Norman, who had recently gained the trust of seasoned
"What on earth happened?" Emilia's tone carried a hint of menace. Wayne, already intimidated by her, became even more reluctant to speak.Alex, who maintained a friendly office atmosphere with Wayne, stepped forward and asked gently, "It's okay. Just tell us. It's not your fault."Despite his reassuring demeanor, Wayne's nerves remained unsettled. She continued to stammer, "Mr. Alex, Ms. Watson, if you want to know what happened, you should check it out yourselves."With that, Wayne hastily exited Emilia's office, as if evading a pursuer."She's good for nothing!" Emilia cursed, retrieving her phone to check Twitter.But when she spotted the dozen or so trending topics about her, her face went as pale as a ghost, and she broke into a cold sweat.Witnessing her reaction, Alex couldn't help but think that it had to be bad. Swiftly, he retrieved his phone to verify his concerns, and as he scanned the information, his expression darkened."Emilia orchestrated it all.""Emilia, th
As Alex was about to ask about Danny's unsettling thoughts, Danny's phone buzzed, interrupting the conversation.Answering the call, he listened intently as urgency emanated from the other end. Danny's demeanor turned more serious and grim with each passing second.After hanging up, Wade voiced his concern, "Dad, what's going on?"Danny sighed. "The maritime license for the Watson family has been revoked."Alex and Wade were visibly taken aback."How is that even possible?""Why would they suddenly strip our family of such a crucial maritime license?"Maritime transportation, typically tightly controlled by authorities, sometimes granted exceptions to long-standing families like the Watsons and the Garrisons.These families were permitted to oversee vital shipping routes, a privilege considered the highest honor. It was a source of pride and a substantial financial asset for their businesses.For the Watsons, whose history in shipping spanned generations, maritime transportati
