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
"Mr. Watson Senior, even if the kid was pulling a prank, you should still let the police investigate the matter. This is a murder we're talking about. We shouldn't treat it so carelessly.""Exactly. It's no use to shield Emilia without regard for the truth of the matter. If you stop this investigation now, the victim might be you in the future."Danny's expression wavered after hearing the two shareholder's words. He had raised Emilia since she was a child. He firmly believed that she would never do such a thing."What do you know?" Danny defended Emilia once more. "This is all just a dispute between two kids. We adults shouldn't interfere in their matters.Nadia and Alex, who were eating popcorn, couldn't help but smile bitterly at Danny's words.Even at this point, he was still speaking up for her. Those who didn't know might think Emilia was Danny's biological granddaughter instead.The police initially intended to take both Maverick and Emilia back to the police station to in
