"Ms. Clark?" Sebastian looked at Lana hesitantly, understanding the consequences if he carried out her orders. "Do I really step on the pedal?""Do it!" Lana replied firmly. "As long as it's not us who ends up dead, it's fine!"In other words, the person who was in front of the car would be the one to suffer.The assistant was from a military background, so he was trained to carry out orders diligently. Immediately, he replied, "Yes, ma'am!"He then started the car, and Liam's hand tightly clung to the car door amid the roaring noise.However, the gradually increasing speed of the car quickly became unbearable for him. His shoes were almost sparking from friction with the ground, but Liam held tightly onto the car door.The assistant was concerned about someone potentially dying, so he decided to slow down the car and reason with Liam. "Mr. Liam, why are you persisting?"Liam gritted his teeth. His deep, cold eyes stared fixedly at Lana. It seemed as if a glance of pity from her
"Darla, what is it that you wanted to say?" Darla nodded and said, "Liam could find those pieces of evidence this time since he used his connections. You know, he's the type of person who rarely asks for help from others." After all, if Liam had sought help, it would've left him vulnerable.Lana immediately understood the meaning behind her words and said, "What did Liam promise to the other party?"Darla nodded approvingly. "I really can't hide anything from you, huh? He did promise something, but no matter how much I asked, Liam wouldn't say a word."Since Liam wouldn't reveal it, there was nothing Lana could do. "Alright, Darla, I understand. Consider it as me owing him a favor this time. I assure you, if he ever needs my help in the future, I'll definitely help him."Darla nodded. "That is reassuring. Also, please don't hold a grudge against him."Lana didn't hate Liam. She just thought Liam was way too afraid of being reliant on others. In a relationship, the burden shoul
"Do you think that handsome guy is mixed? He's gorgeous!""Doesn't look like it. He's probably a foreigner. He's quite handsome, but why does he seem familiar?""You think he looks familiar too?"Lana was in the airport departure hall. She was clad entirely in black—a black tank top, jeans, a cap, and a face mask. It was like she was trying to blend into the night.She was examining some bills on her phone when she heard two women in the same lounge discussing something. Unwittingly, she looked up and turned in the direction they were pointing at.However, what she saw almost shocked her out of her wits.In that instance, she gave up leaving the country. She quickly pressed her cap lower to hide her face and fled hurriedly.Even so, her quirky behavior didn't attract any attention. Everyone had their eyes on the dashing foreigner who had just stepped off the plane.With a black backpack on his back, he left the hall and immediately took out his phone. "Hey, Marcel. I'm back."
Those who killed their parents were their sworn enemies. After listening to Violet, the Kanes were all filled with righteous anger, especially Liam.He clenched his fists and didn't let go even though his veins were bulging to a horrifying extent.Violet's assumption wasn't baseless. Liam had never stopped probing into the horrendous death of his parents.However, the truth behind it became more confusing as he dug deeper. It also was closely related to the Snyder family."This is a godsend. To think our enemies will come to us on their own accord. We must take the opportunity and do our best to get rid of them," Violet said.She had been waiting for this day for too long. She had thought their enemies were too far away, but now, they were just within their reach."Grandma, what should we do if it's proven that the Snyders are involved in our parents' death? Are we really going to fall out with Balany?" Darla asked.She was older, and her perspective of the situation was more th
Nicholas exclaimed, "Look at the blush on his face! He must've returned to Zanteles because of that certain someone."For once, Marcel nodded in agreement. Obviously, that was Adrian's true feelings, even though he acted as though it wasn't on the outside.Adrian realized Marcel and Nicholas were staring at him. He looked away, pretending to sulk when he was actually shy. "Don't look at me like that. Well, you're right. That's why I came back."Nicholas and Marcel nodded together. "You can always come back if you miss that person."Adrian fiddled with his fingers and suddenly looked like a shy squirrel. "It's been many years. How is he? Has he found himself a wife? Does he have children already?"Upon hearing that, the other two exchanged a doubtful glance. They looked confused. What was he talking about?"Hey, I'm asking a question here!" Adrian waited for them to answer, but no one did.Sitting up, he couldn't help but protest, "You guys are flirting with each other! Did you e
"What rotten luck!"When Lana recalled her fate with Adrian, she felt helpless.His handsome face always put people in a daze. Thinking of that, she shook her head and quickened her pace.Surprisingly, when she returned to Gilsbury, she saw a familiar face."Nadia, when did you come back?"Nadia had returned to Gilsbury and lived in their former luxury condominium.She smiled and quickly helped Lana pack her luggage."With the things happening to the Watson family, my parents and Alex were worried that it would affect my mood. They wanted to send me overseas to relax."But how could I be in the mood to relax overseas? So, I told them I wanted to stay in Gilsbury for a while. Alex sent me back overnight."After hearing about Nadia's situation, Lana realized she had been worrying about Adrian recently and ignoring the people around her."Nadia, I'm happy for you."It was a blessing in disguise. After reuniting with the Watsons, they doted on her so much that it made even Lana
"He's busy at work. When did he help you?" Nadia asked, her voice laced with doubt.Whether now or then, Howard's focus was always on Dawsbury.When Lana asked him to check on Nadia, he only did it for Lana's sake. But after their relationship ended, they rarely interacted, let alone matters in Gilsbury City."Howard is a nice man!"When Nadia heard her tone, she could guess what Laura wanted to say next."I've met many people. I can tell who is good or bad. Even though Howard looks cold, he's very kind. I know nothing about legal matters or psychological counseling. When I encountered these things, I didn't know what to do."One day, it was raining heavily, and there was no business. I planned to sweep the floor. But when I went out, I saw him standing at the door in the rain. After I got him in, he didn't say anything and ordered pasta."Then, I discussed my house's problem with other employees. When he heard about it, he took the initiative to help me find a lawyer. He even h
Seeing that Howard seemed determined to leave, Wilson chased after him. "You've caused such trouble to the Rein family! How dare you leave!"Howard suddenly couldn't help but admire his grandfather, Jaden. Even though he knew that Wilson wasn't the best heir to the Rein family, he still indulged Wilson until now.Howard couldn't figure out what was going on in Wilson's mind.It was clear that Emilia disliked and cut them off. But Wilson thought that Howard had betrayed her. "Didn't you want me to leave?"After being refuted by Howard, Wilson was stunned and couldn't react.After a while, Wilson pointed at him and yelled, "You can stay in the Rein family. But you should apologize to Emilia and get her forgiveness! I'll forgive you after she returns to be my daughter-in-law!"Howard was on the verge of laughter. His father was pathetic.Wilson was so lucky to maintain the Rein family until now with his foolishness."I won't do that!" he refused Wilson's rude request. "Since you
Would Lana forgive him and spend the rest of her life with him?Liam's heart was filled with a sense of anticipation.Since the reason for the incident had been clarified, everyone let out a sigh of relief at the same time and also went back to rest. Even Leonardo was taken away just to give the two people who had been apart for a long time some space to be alone.After everyone had left, Liam straightened out his clothes and approached Lana, then proceeded to slowly crouch down."Lana!"In the man's deep and sexy voice, there was an unusual tremor and a hint of choked emotion.Liam had no idea what kept him going during these years after losing Lana.Liam didn't dare to do anything too bold. Instead, he gently leaned his handsome face against Lana's hand, repeatedly calling her name.Three years had already passed since Lana left in a fit of anger, setting off a series of events afterward.If she still had any resentment, it would have vanished when she saw Liam's tall figu
Liam's outstretched hand awkwardly hung in the air, and eventually, he could only withdraw it."Speak up if you have something to say, or else, stay quiet. We're not in the mood to listen to you." Hector's attitude toward Liam was still unfavorable, to the extent that he didn't even want to see him.Lana suddenly said, "Something very serious actually happened today."Following that, she placed Leonardo down and showed everyone the wound on his neck.A ring of red marks surrounded Leonardo's delicate neck. In some places, the marks were so swollen that it looked like a tire had been wrapped around his neck. It was a shocking sight to behold.Hector, Violet, Mandy, and Romelius were immediately enraged."What happened to Leo?""What happened to his neck? It could have been fatal if it was any worse.""Who was responsible for watching Leo today? How could they be so negligent and let the child get injured so badly?""This doesn't look like any ordinary wound. It looks like it wa
"Stop looking at me like that. If you want to kill or torture me, go ahead." Cynthia knew what would happen to her after the truth came out, so she gave up struggling. "However, even after my death, I'll haunt you for the rest of your life!"As they listened to her absurd threat, Lana and the Traffic Light Trio burst into laughter."If ghosts were real, then Emilia would be the first to look for you."When her deceased sister was mentioned, Cynthia's smile remained unchanged. "That fool probably never knew it was me who betrayed her until her death."Considering the situation, Cynthia didn't believe she could leave the Garrison Villa tonight."What exactly do you gain by single-handedly destroying the Cooper family?"Lana was still very confused by Cynthia's actions.After all, Emilia and Cynthia were twins and had the same blood coursing through their veins. With all the Coopers gone, Cynthia had nothing to gain from it either!Cynthia sneered at Lana's question. "Lana, yo
On the evening of the banquet, the Garrison Villa was bustling with distinguished guests.Initially, everyone's attention was on the precious great-grandson of the Garrison and Kane family. With his confident and lively demeanor, the chubby child was absolutely adorable. Everyone was naturally curious about who the child might have chosen as his stepmother.It should be noted that the Garrison and Kane family only had one great-grandson. His future was destined to be extraordinary. As long as one could control the child, it was much more worthwhile than dealing with those individuals from the two affluent families.After all, the elders from the two families were very attentive and doting toward this child. Surprisingly, Liam, who was said to have been away from home for a long time, had returned. During the reception of guests, he unexpectedly had a smile on his face.The ladies who had come tonight, vying for the position of Liam's wife, became even more excited.Liam typi
On the night before the banquet, Romelius and Mandy finally brought Leonardo back.Lana was overjoyed, and she immediately went to the bungalow where they were staying.At that time, Leonardo had just returned home and was playing with toys on the living room floor."Leo, you're back! Did you miss Mommy? Mommy missed you so much!"Lana ran toward Leonardo, talking to him while reaching out to hug him. In a flash, Leonardo suddenly ran toward Romelius while holding a toy car.After that, he kept hiding in his arms, refusing to come out. He would occasionally peek out from the gaps to glance at Lana.His actions clearly showed that he refused to accept Lana.Lana's enthusiasm was dampened, and her outstretched arms awkwardly remained in midair. She looked at Romelius and then at Mandy as if waiting for them to persuade Leonardo. However, these two remained silent and only greeted Lana in a casual manner."Oh, Lana, you've come?" Mandy said while presenting her with a basket o
Due to the fact that the Garrison family was going to hold a banquet to introduce the mother of their beloved great-grandson, Leonardo, the Garrisons once again became the talk of the town in Dawsbury.The last time Dawsbury was so lively was when Hector introduced the Garrison family's heir to everyone.As soon as the news was released, the Garrisons became noticeably busier in the following days. All of them were busy scurrying around and helping Hector deliver the invitations.In addition to people who had business dealings with the Garrison family, the invitations were naturally sent to people who were familiar with Lana in the past. Therefore, as soon as the Traffic Light Trio received the invitation, they didn't even go to work and immediately ran to Liam's office—intending to get an explanation from him.At that time, Liam had just finished a phone call from overseas and was deep in thought when the office door was suddenly kicked open.Lincoln stood at the door, looking
With that, Sawyer ignored the unpleasant expressions on Freya and Hector's faces. He immediately picked up his child and walked away.Hector was furious. He glared at Liam, his eyes burning with anger. It was clear that he thought Liam was the one responsible for Lana's predicament.Liam was once again innocently caught in the crossfire.Freya set aside her current tasks, offered some comforting words to Hector, and then got up and chased after them.She knew Sawyer well enough and was certain that he would never have treated someone like this unless there was a reason.As Freya's family of three left, Lana's face bore a sorrowful expression. "Since I'm not welcome here, I guess I'll just go."With that, Lana got up and walked toward the door.Hector and Violet had been waiting for Lana's return for a long time. Now that she was finally back, how could they possibly let her go?Naturally, the two of them chased after Lana and tried to talk her out of leaving. They eventually ma
Liam sensed a challenging undertone in Lana's stare. After all this time, had they truly become adversaries?Releasing Lana abruptly, Violet gently patted her arm, her eyes filled with profound hurt."You're here, alive and well. Why did you leave us in the shadows? Even if you chose not to contact anyone else, you should've considered reaching out to me. Do you have any idea how much I missed you?"Over the years, Violet had been grappling with a deep sense of loss.Though it remained an unspoken sentiment among them, Violet was aware of the underlying blame directed toward Liam for what was believed to be Lana's demise.Had Liam been more emotionally available, their relationship wouldn't have crumbled. It would've stopped Lana from seeking refuge overseas while carrying their child, an act that set the stage for her heartbreaking destiny.Witnessing Liam's anguish and believing Lana to be lost forever had taken a severe toll on Violet's health, aging her considerably."Gr
Liam guided Leo to Lana's room.As they entered, Lana was already awake, bathed in the serene morning light streaming through the window.Upon hearing their arrival, Lana, while brushing her hair, shifted her gaze toward them—a familiar scene echoing times gone by."Good morning, Liam and Leo!" she greeted them effortlessly.Without hesitation, Leonardo squirmed out of Liam's embrace and darted toward Lana, exclaiming, "Hi, Nana!"Lana paused, momentarily surprised by Leonardo's nickname. "Leo, you should be calling me 'Mommy'!" she gently corrected him.Leonardo hesitated momentarily before redirecting his attention to Liam.Even though Liam hadn't exchanged a single word with Lana, he spoke up when Leo glanced his way, firmly stating, "Feel free to do as you wish. There's no need to seek my approval. Alright?"Leonardo nodded obediently and turned his gaze back to Lana, continuing to address her as "Nana."While Lana appeared somewhat displeased by this unexpected turn of ev
