How could that seemingly foolish-looking Lincoln capture Liam's interest?Cynthia was so furious that she could barely contain herself! Before Emilia could mock her again, she had already walked away elegantly. Emilia turned with a slight smile on her crimson lips and returned to the viewing room.Unbeknownst to her, once they left the area, another person stepped out from the shadows. Maverick's face was ashen, and he was trembling all over.Even now, he still couldn't believe that his sister, who seemed so gentle and easygoing, had actually killed their parents.If Emilia was really the one behind it, then she was too terrifying for having hidden it too well! Maverick could still remember the scene of the accident vividly. Emilia was crying so hard that her voice was hoarse. If he hadn't been holding her, Emilia would have jumped off the cliff with Mitchell and the others.Maverick found it hard to believe that such a person was a murderer. He stood in place, shaking un
Liam was taken aback when Nadia and Alex asked to meet with him.Previously, due to Lana, his relationship with the other two was considered neutral.However, given his current situation with Lana, he couldn't figure out why Nadia and Alex would want to meet him.Since there weren't any issues between them, Liam still went to meet them at the appointed time and place.Nadia had made a reservation at a moderately upscale restaurant to avoid attracting too much attention.Private rooms were available in the restaurant. Upon their arrival, the waiter escorted them directly into one of the private rooms.After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the three took their seats.Liam took out a cigarette and asked, "Would you mind if I smoked?"Nadia smiled faintly and replied, "You're free to do as you please!"With that, Liam lit the cigarette and smoked in silence.Nadia and Alex were a little surprised. Liam didn't seem to be such a heavy smoker before. Yet, he always seemed to have
"Don't you think I want to see her in person as well?"Liam rarely showed such a disheartened expression."But I don't have the guts to face her! I'm afraid she won't forgive me!"It turned out that someone as formidable and domineering as Liam had weaknesses as well. There were even times when he couldn't get what he wanted.As a man himself, Alex understood Liam's current dilemma the most."Mr. Liam, as long as you haven't committed anything that goes against one's principles, I believe that once you resolve the misunderstandings with Lana, she'll definitely return to your side."Liam shook his head. "It wasn't a misunderstanding that caused us to break up. It was because we didn't trust each other enough. To be more precise, it was my lack of trust in Lana that led to this situation."Nadia immediately caught on to the situation. "Actually, Lana is a straightforward person. If you treat her well, she will reciprocate tenfold. However, she has one fatal flaw—she lacks a sense
Liam had just returned home after parting ways with Alex and Nadia, when he received a message from Lana.During this period of time, Liam had been in contact with Lana under the identity of the buddy who was saved by Lana back then.He had initially planned to deal with an international acquisition case. But when he saw the screen of his phone light up, he immediately picked it up.Lana didn't really have any specific topic to talk about. She casually asked if Liam had finished his work and whether he had eaten on time. These were just trivial questions because Lana knew that Liam was struggling with his new job as a corporate worker.It turned out that Liam's approach was indeed correct. After confiding in Lana, her level of concern for him noticeably heightened.Liam picked up his phone and started recounting to Lana the unfair treatment he had encountered earlier in the day.As expected, Lana started consoling him again, assuring him that after she had given birth and retur
Emilia glared fiercely at Alex, not caring about the other shareholders present."You better explain everything now. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving."Alex patted his chest mockingly. "Oh my, how scary!"Before Emilia could continue, some shareholders began to speak up."Emilia, just shut up. Do you really think you've taken over the Watson family?""Hmph. We've had enough. We don't want to play along with your little show anymore. You're even collaborating with foreigners to harm our country. Where is your conscience?""Mr. Watson, hurry and get rid of her. I don't want to see her any longer."Those words from the shareholders left Emilia bewildered.Her eyes reddened as she stared at Alex. "What are you guys doing?"Alex decided it was time to reveal the truth. "Just as you heard earlier, during this time, we decided to put up a show to test you. Unfortunately, you didn't pass our test. You're out."Emilia was still confused. She turned to look at the shareholder
Danny's loving tone showed that he had no intention of investigating Emilia's past actions.When those in the meeting room, especially Alex and Nadia, heard this, their expressions immediately soured. Emilia's wrongdoings were not something that could be easily forgiven by Danny's few words.What kind of spell had Emilia cast on Danny, and why was he protecting her like this?Before anyone could speak, Danny walked straight to Emilia and said, "Emilia, I've heard about what happened to your family. My condolences."Even Emilia probably didn't expect that, at this critical moment, Danny would still stand by her side. She burst into tears, throwing herself into Danny's arms and sobbed loudly, "Grandpa! Thank you for remembering me. My parents are gone!"Emilia's crying was too fake for anyone to believe. But to Danny, it was truly heartbreaking.No matter what, Danny had raised her since she was a kid. He patted her back and said, "It's alright. It's all in the past now. Come h
Before Nadia could react, she suddenly saw Wayne leading a group of people to the conference room. After knocking on the door, Wayne entered and said, "Mr. Watson, these police officers request our cooperation."Upon seeing the police officers and Maverick behind Wayne, Emilia's heart skipped a beat.Why was Maverick here? Did anyone here have something to do with a case? Otherwise, why would the police be here?Without waiting for Danny to speak, Emilia immediately assumed the role of the head of the company and stepped forward. She first greeted the incoming police officers, "Officers, please come in. Everyone here is part of the Watson family, and we will surely cooperate."Emilia's words elicited a chuckle from the old employees of the Watson family who were present. Wasn't she a part of the Cooper family just this morning? Now, she had seamlessly transitioned back to being a part of the Watson family. Emilia seemed to consider herself a chameleon.After welcoming the
"If you claim that I'm guilty, show us the evidence. Otherwise, if you continue to make a scene here, I won't spare you. I'll have security come in and throw you out immediately," Emilia said.After seeing Maverick's fearless expression, she felt even more puzzled.Could it be that he really had evidence?Maverick laughed coldly. "I see that you're not backing down until the end. You want to see evidence? Fine. I'll show it to you."With that, Maverick walked to the front of the meeting room's projector and began fiddling with it. The onlookers were unsure of his intentions, but their curiosity made them stay as they wanted to see how the situation would unfold.Danny looked at Emilia with concern and said, "Your brother is such a rascal. Why is he causing a scene when there are so many people?"Emilia replied helplessly, "I have no choice, Grandpa. My father has spoiled him, and he doesn't listen to me. He does everything to get money from me. "Today, he's probably here for
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
