Seeing Lily suddenly turn and run away crying, Liam hurried after her."Lily, wait!"But before he could take a few steps, he saw that Lily had already disappeared from his sight.Liam stopped in his tracks, staring at the place where Lily had vanished, his mind in turmoil.The reason he had been so angry just then and even lost his temper at his sister, whom he had always doted on, wasn’t only because of her impulsive behavior at the banquet but also because of Levi's words "fallen nobility," which pierced straight into his heart like a sharp blade.No matter how glorious they appeared in front of ordinary people and second-rate families, in the eyes of the top families in Imperium, the Lynch family was nothing more than an ant that could easily be crushed with a step.The Lynch family had once been illustrious in Imperium!If it hadn't been for the death of their parents and the unfavorable development of the Lynch Group, their family wouldn’t have fallen into such a state of
Seeing Delbert's unwavering demeanor, Harriet had no choice but to ramp up her charm. She tightened her embrace around his arm and said, "Delbert, once we return to Meawood City, we can live together every day. We won't miss out on this little bit of time, so please let me stay at my brothers' place these days, okay? Delbert!"Harriet was being extra affectionate and cute towards Delbert, even batting her eyelashes furiously to look pitiable.Delbert looked down at the woman in his arms. When he saw her spoiled act, a flicker of desire passed through his eyes. He found himself struggling to maintain control. His Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice was husky to the extreme as he finally gave in with a nod, "Fine."He just couldn't bring himself to refuse Harriet when she acted like this.When Delbert finally agreed, a beautiful smile immediately lit up Harriet's petite face, and she tiptoed to plant a gentle kiss on his forehead as a reward.Levi, who was standing to the side an
Arthur snorted first, saying, "Yvonne has been staying at my place these past few days and has gotten used to it, so it's only right that she stays with me today as well."Before Henry, who usually didn't get along with him, could retort, Levi said confidently, "Since Yvonne has already spent so many days at your place, it's time for a change of scenery, like my house for instance.""No way!"Henry instantly flared up like a cat whose fur had been rubbed the wrong way, refusing to give in.No one could take Yvonne away from him.Not even Levi he usually respected the most!"Levi, I haven't seen Yvonne for so long, you can't compete with me for her!"Justin also chimed in at this moment, "I think it's more appropriate for Yvonne to stay at my place, it's quiet there!"As the argument between the four brothers became more intense, Harriet also it was a serious problem and tried several times to mediate but didn't know where to start.Finally, out of options, Harriet tentatively
At Imperium City Hospital.Harriet stood in front of a hospital bed, lips pursed as she looked at the person lying there, who could only maintain a heartbeat through intravenous drips.This person was her mother, whom she hadn't seen for many years.Upon learning that her mother wasn't dead, she had wanted to see her in person every moment.But now, standing in front of her mother, she found herself unable to speak a word, nor shed a tear."Yvonne, if you're feeling sad, it might help to cry it out," Levi said, gazing at Harriet's frail body, knowing the immense pain she was hiding.Harriet remained silent, her face unchanged, her eyes only growing more serious.After a long silence, so long that Levi began to worry about her emotions. Levi’s expression turned serious, and he called with concern, "Yvonne..."It seemed Harriet knew what Levi was about to say and she shook her head to interrupt him."Levi, don't worry. I won't cry, nor will I collapse from this. I'm not the litt
Liam noticed that Delbert, who had been cold-faced since last night's return, now showed a hint of joy on his face. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.It must be because of Harriet.Although Liam already had a guess as to why Delbert's expression had softened suddenly, he pretended not to know and teased him."Delbert, why are you suddenly so happy? Is there any good news?""I'm going to see Harriet later."After saying that, Delbert went straight to his bedroom to change clothes.It wasn’t a surprising answer.Indeed, in this world, only Harriet could make Delbert smile so quickly after being angry.But then...Liam suddenly thought of something. His playful expression faded and he looked thoughtful.Lily watched from a distance as Delbert prepared excitedly to meet Harriet. Envy nearly spilled from her eyes as the malicious light within them grew even more intense.Why was Delbert so cold towards her yet so gentle with Harriet?Wasn't Harriet just a sister re
With a resigned look, Levi casually placed the black card on the coffee table in front of Harriet."Yvonne, you're my sister, and I can't dote on you enough. Since you like Delbert, even if I can't stand him, I'll respect your decision."Upon hearing that, Harriet felt quite warmed."I know you’re the best to me!"A sly glint flashed in Harriet's eyes as she put on a slightly ingratiating smile."And in this world, the person I admire most is also you, Levi!"You’re not only capable but also the richest man in Imperium and an international mafia boss. Having such an amazing brother, I really am fortunate!"Listening to Harriet's flattering words one after another made Levi internally overjoyed. If there were no one around at this moment, he probably couldn't even maintain his usual cool demeanor.Nevertheless, considering that Harriet was still present and thinking that he absolutely couldn't lose his composure in front of his sister, he maintained a serious expression on his f
She took out a black card from her pocket and waved it, pointing to the commercial street behind her, looking very wealthy."Delbert, today I'll take you to sweep the commercial street of Imperium for a shopping spree, how about that? This‘s the black card my Levi gave me!"Seeing the black card in Harriet's hand and her proud look, Delbert raised his eyebrows and nod with a smile, "Let's go then."He gently took Harriet's hand and walked into the commercial street with her. Along the way, Harriet took Delbert around to eat, drink, and have fun with the black card given to her by Levi, which shocked countless onlookers.Originally, the man of this couple looked like a cold and aloof big shot, emitting an aura that kept people at bay, just like a typical overbearing president in a novel. But when it came time to pay, the woman actually took out a black card? That was the rare black card worldwide! So, the overbearing president turned out to be the woman of this couple?Unli
To everyone's surprise, when the leader of the bodyguards saw Harriet, he stopped his actions. He smiled at Harriet and said, "Yvonne, do you remember me? I'm your Oliver."Oliver? Harriet was instantly stunned in place. Her Oliver had come back? She didn’t expect that not only was her Oliver handsome, but he also had exceptional fighting skills. Even when Delbert faced him, he almost fell into a disadvantage.However, there was no animosity between her Oliver and Delbert. Why did he want to take action against Delbert? Harriet quickly asked, "Oliver, you're back? But why did you want to take action against Delbert?"Upon hearing that, Oliver Bass stopped smiling and suddenly became somewhat awkward. "I learned that other brothers found you, so I immediately rushed back to Imperium. As for why I wanted to take action against your man..."The sister I doted on was stolen away by a strange man, so I must teach him a lesson." Since leaving Agral City, although he hadn’
