Jaxton immediately came forward and lashed out at Liam, "Liam, who do you think you are? Dr. Jensen's a legendary doctor in Biskeland! He's world-famous! He's someone respected by people all around! You think you can just call him up as you like? Stop bluffing!"He was kneeling on the floor in fear for so long, and he naturally jumped at it when a chance to taunt Liam finally came. He thought that his status would be worlds apart from Liam's since seven years passed. He thought he would have the right to properly humiliate him, all to avenge himself for what he had to endure when he was with Liam back then. However, Liam's previous tactics did make Jaxton scared and suspicious. Could it be that Liam was someone important? But the fact that Liam would bluff that he could contact the legendary Dr. Jensen and get him to obey his words completely cleared Jaxton's suspicions. Eaden was also in shock! He knew that Liam had a mysterious identity, but to say that he knew the legendary Dr.
Dr. Jensen snorted and said in an extremely displeased tone, "Riley, do you know that you've screwed up?""What? Sir, I don't know what you mean. I've always followed your teachings and I haven't done anything wrong!" Riley looked puzzled. He completely did not relate this phone call to Liam because it never crossed his mind that Liam would know his mentor! Noticing that Riley was oblivious to his mistakes, Dr. Jensen scolded angrily, "How dare you! Riley, you've disrespected someone that you can't afford to offend. I don't even dare to disrespect and take him lightly. That man saved me in the past! I owe my life to him! And you think you're so clever. How dare you get in his way?"A few years back, Dr. Jensen was the main person in charge at the hospital in the military region. An accident happened, and if it were not for Liam, he would have lost his life there and then! What Dr. Jensen said struck down Riley like lightning, and he was completely stunned. A person that even
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Clayton glared at Liam and spat, "Listen, you twat! Riley Norton is the apprentice of the legendary Dr. Jensen. Riley himself is one of the most experienced and renowned doctors in his hometown, Hamish City! How naive of you to think you'd be able to get in touch with one of the best doctors this country has ever seen just because you want to?"Clayton raised his brows contemptuously and sneered. When Liam claimed that he had single-handedly caused Rhett Lockhart to be fired, he had believed him. Now that he realized what a fraud Liam was, he could not help but wonder if Liam had been lying all this while. The thought grew in Clayton's mind like weeds until eventually, it overcame every ounce of his initial rationality and equipped him with a newfound sense of arrogance. Meanwhile, Herbert and Jaxton continued insulting Liam just to butter Clayton up. When Herbert heard what Clayton said, he immediately agreed and added, "You're so right, Mr. Lindberg
To his surprise, the color drained from Riley's face the moment he heard this. His eyes lit ablaze with rage as he screamed, "How dare you, Clayton? Get on your knees right this instant?"Clayton fell to his knees without hesitation the moment he heard this. Riley was not someone he could afford to cross, and he would obey Riley's every whim and fancy without question!However, he lifted his head to stare at Riley through the phone with a puzzled look. "Why, Mr. Norton? What did I do wrong? Why do I need to get on my knees to beg for mercy?"Riley scoffed but did not even bother to answer Clayton's question. Instead, he snapped, "Hand the phone over to Mr. Cole right this instant!"As confused as Clayton was, he still did as Riley asked and handed Liam the phone.Liam took the phone from him and stared calmly at the man on the screen. "We finally met, Mr. Norton."Riley immediately fell to his knees the moment he saw Liam and said, "This is all my fault, Mr. Cole! I was unaware o
Jaxton's entire face was as pale as a ghost as he muttered, "Liam… no, I mean, Mr. Cole, I'm sorry for ever underestimating and insulting you. I was out of my mind and acted rashly! Please forgive me for my callousness. My sister is married to the Nortons, so please show me and my father some mercy! Please, Mr. Cole… Please don't lock me up or torture me! I used to be one of your subordinates, Mr. Cole; please show me some mercy!" Jaxton was bowing his head against the ground so many times that his forehead was bleeding. He was no longer the contemptuous, cocky man that had looked down on Liam just a mere two minutes ago. Liam stared coldly at them and replied, "Fine, I will show you mercy, but only under one condition. All of the Shaws' assets have to be transferred over to Eaden. From today onward, I don't want to see either of you in this town! You are hereby banished from Drunham City, and if you ever show up before me again, I will not hesitate to kill you!"Both Jaxton and H
Wasyl immediately let go of Cheryl's hand and sprinted toward Malcolm like a slobbering dog that had caught sight of a bone. When he passed by Liam, however, he even turned and spat, "Bastard!"Then, he circled past Liam and approached Malcolm with a grin as he extended his hand. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Lynch. I never thought I'd have the pleasure of seeing you here today. I'm the heir of Abbott Group, Wasyl Abbott. My father is Paget Abbott. I'm sure you must remember him. We've both met you before at various luncheons in the past!"To his surprise, Malcolm did not shake his hand and instead nodded without a single word. How could he possibly remember every single entrepreneur or businessman he had ever had a meal with?Besides, he had just witnessed Wasyl insulting Liam right in front of him, so there was no way he would give this rude young man the time of day!The former mayor of Drunham City, Rhett Lockhart, was sacked because of his disrespect toward Liam, and just a few minut
Eaden furrowed his brows at this. It was clear that he was beginning to lose his patience toward Wasyl. If it were not for the fact that Liam warned him not to expose his identity, he would have punished Wasyl by now!Eaden glanced first at Wasyl, then at Liam, who shook his head surreptitiously. Eaden finally replied, "I don't want to deal with you now, so scram!"Wasyl's entire body shuddered. He quickly took a few steps back and turned to leave. When he saw a stunned Cheryl, still shell-shocked by the entire interaction, he grabbed hold of her arm and dragged her out of the hospital as fast as their legs could take them. Wasyl and Cheryl sprinted all the way to their car, which was parked across the street from the hospital, before finally stopping to catch their breaths. Cheryl leaned against the car, panting, and asked, "Is that really Eaden Wafer? Why would he be here with Malcolm at the hospital and at the same time as that wretched Liam, no less!"Wasyl clutched his swolle
Not even Teresa could hold in her anger at this. "Look at what you did, Celena! You wouldn't be happy until you brought all of us down, even my dear Anna! She got beaten so badly because of you! You're a curse to this family! My baby Anna would never have suffered this fate if it weren't for you and Liam!"Teresa was heartbroken every time she thought of the cruelty Anna had endured when trying to beg for mercy on Celena's behalf. Rage boiled in her eyes, and there was nothing she wanted to do more than skin Celena alive!Reginald was beside himself with rage. He stared at Celena coldly and said, "Do you understand what you did wrong, Celena?"Celena's face was as pale as a ghost. She was both terrified and ashen. These people had watched idly as she and Jovie were captured and tossed into the back of a military jeep without even batting an eye. Now that she and Jovie were saved, they had the audacity to turn around and blame her for everything that had gone wrong!Celena wiped the
