It had been more than a week now, Leo desperately searched for his niece Sylvia. Sylvia's parents had no intention of helping either. 

"Antony, we should report Sylvia's disappearance to the police, it's been over a week now."

Leo pounded the table, shouting. 

"I've already asked my friends to work with the police! They're actively searching, what are you worried about?" Antony smoked leisurely, looking at Leo. 

"That's right, don't mess around, I think they just need a ransom! They'll be in touch soon." Daisy also interjected, not worried at all. If it's Vivian, it's different, they can still sit and drink tea and eat cookies. 

Leo gritted his teeth and spoke without respect. 

"It's not because Sylvia is adopted that you don't care about her? You want her to plead guilty on behalf of Vivian."

Antony and Daisy's heart-stopping words made their faces pale. 

"What nonsense are you talking about Leo? We love Sylvia very much, never thought of harming her. Vivian is in Italy anyway, don't bring her in. You're so impatient, I thought you were. in love with Sylvia!" Daisy grinned. 

"Sister… don't talk nonsense." Leo blushed, furiously banging the table. They can hate him, look down on him, but they can't look down on Sylvia. Although Leo's feelings for Sylvia could not be hidden forever. Previously, when he had not received the inheritance of the Cavill family, he was still afraid of Antony and his wife. But now everything has changed, he also has a share in Cavill company, he is not afraid of them. On the contrary, Antony and his wife were very unhappy about the division of property for Leo - an illegitimate child of Mr. Nolan Cavill. Somehow, Nolan could find this lost child in the orphanage! 

"You stop, I've been very upset since my father's estate left you!" Antony seemed to want to chase Leo away. He moved on to the Cavill estate. 

Leo sneered, scorning his useless half-brother. 

"Brother, you should remember, if it wasn't for me to help my father manage the company, it would not have grown to where it is today. You almost made it collapse in just a week to burn money on securities. contract."

Antony's face became more and more unsightly. 

"Bastard, get the hell out of here! You don't get involved in Sylvia's business either." Antony shouted. 

Leo didn't want to stay in this house any longer, so he grabbed his coat, got up, and walked out the door. 

Leo guessed that Sylvia was kidnapped as soon as she got out of school, but no matter how much she searched, there was no trace, the camera around there happened to be broken, someone took action! Leo thought of an underground force manipulating this, not simply trying to blackmail the Cavills. 

Liam had just left the Darkside when he received a phone call informing him of a spy who revealed the location of several million dollars worth of gunpowder packages, now stuck in the harbor because of the investigation. Liam gritted his teeth, exasperated. The headache this morning was the start of a bad day. 

"Damn it! Ryan, how are you going to deal with that gunpowder?"

Ryan looked at his boss's bad face and was afraid. Liam was not only drugged for sex, last night also had a relationship with the hostage Sylvia that he absolutely hated. Business has problems again today, really bad! 

"Sir, I'm guessing that the spy is the minions of Martin old man, the man who took your medicine down."

"You haven't let someone handle Martin yet? Dare to hit me."

Ryan glanced at Liam. 

"The power that sponsors Martin is not small, I still do not dare to move."

"Really, do you still think our power is weak?" Liam unhappily tapped his hand on the windshield. 

"No, boss! I just thought it would be better to take advantage of him and deal with him once and for all."

Liam looked at Ryan in surprise. 

"What's your opinion?"

"I think the boss should pretend to be married to Sharon..."

"What, are you crazy?" Liam exasperatedly shouted, this brother humbled himself to old Martin's family, and married his daughter. 

"Wait, boss, please listen to me."

Liam glared at Ryan. 

"Say!"

"This time we're going to the cargo port to deal with the gunpowder case, if it's related to Martin then we'll negotiate the marriage. He has government people behind him, his smuggling cases. There has never been any detention or confiscation. If the boss marries Sharon, he can take advantage of this! I still have evidence that Martin drugged the boss, we can use it as a condition for negotiating marital interests."

After listening, Liam felt convinced by Ryan. Since the death of his girlfriend - Ariel, he no longer sincerely believes in love, no matter who he marries, it is only in name. If it works, it's worth a try. 

"Not a bad idea! I'll think about it more. Now let's go to the harbor, I don't want that gunpowder to be lost in the hands of Martin and his accomplices. Anyway, the value of the goods is not small! "

"Yes, boss!"

Sirena Wharf S.T. It's very deserted at midnight, large shipments usually start early in the morning and settle during the day. 

"Where do they keep the goods!"

Ryan went back and forth, motioning for the security gunmen to follow, to keep Liam safe. There could be a gun battle for benefits. Martin's people are truly bottomless greed! Also wants to steal his boss Liam's gunpowder. 

"Master, I don't think you should come out! I'll get out of the car and talk to them."

Liam frowned. 

"Don't take care of it too much! They keep this batch of gunpowder for me, they want me to come out. They're probably still holding on to the failure to quit the day before."

"But I'm afraid you're in danger." Ryan reloaded the gun, gritted his teeth. 

Before Ryan could say anything more, Liam quickly opened the car door and stepped out, the cold wind blowing nonstop, playing with his hair.

    "Hello, Liam, are you here? I thought you didn't dare to come!" There was a loud laugh from the darkness. Liam didn't hesitate to answer. "Why wouldn't I dare come! Martin didn't dare come and let you come, Gary." Everyone knows that Gary is Martin's twin brother, a skilled gunman, he is also the oldest fox. "My brother doesn't want to see your hateful face! I know you're here because of the gunpowder we kept." Gary is the police officer and also the guarantor of some of Martin's businesses. "That's right! How much money do you guys want?" Liam slowly lit his cigarette and took a puff. "My brother doesn't want to talk to you, not want Sharon to marry you! Tell me, we want to put your goods in the sea! Dog!" Gary grinned wickedly. Liam calmly pulled out his gun and aimed it at Gary. "Gary, don't joke like that, it's not funny, what if I said: I want to marry Sharon?"“Ha… ha… ha, you think I believe you will marry Sharon when you point a gun at me!” Gary spat out a puddle of sal

Ryan nodded. “The boss was shot by someone, I think… in the future you will be a little more relaxed but don't go around the mansion.”“Did you come here just to say that? Is Liam seriously injured?" Sylvia began to understand Ryan better. "It's okay, the doctor is treating the wound and taking out the bullet. Are you still worried about Sir Liam even though he kidnapped and tortured you?”Sylvia's face turned a little red, she shouldn't be worried about that bastard. "Why should I worry about him?""That's right, you'd better stay away from my boss." Ryan interjected. “You should have told Liam to let me go!” Sylvia said angrily. Ryan looked at the thick kiss marks on Sylvia's neck a

"How can I trust you, I don't know who you are and I've never met you."Tiara hesitated for a moment, then she continued. “I know Mr. Liam's secret, I know why he has such a weird temper!

"I'm going with you."She wanted to get out of this mansion anyway, she didn't want to wait for Liam to put her in jail. But no one could help her, and no one dared to speak up.

"I'm okay. The wound is already dry, don't mind it."Sylvia was still intently picking up the shard, not daring to look Liam in the eye again. Unexpectedly, he was a "cold-blooded" person who had tortured her! “And about this, Tiara said she knows your past!”Liam's eyes suddenly darkened, which was extremely taboo. Only someone who wanted to die would dare mention it in front of him. “What does that person named Tiara look like?”Sylvia seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, she said slowly. "She's pretty thin, tall, big eyes, black skin."Liam turned to see Ryan standing behind him. “Do you hear me, hurry up and find someone like that for me! Investigate, who is she, and what is th

"Look, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have broken such a beautiful thing."Sylvia took the bag containing the broken porcelain into the room.

I even thought Liam would keep putting her in the barn for daring to enter his beloved ex-girlfriend's room. He's getting weaker and weaker! It really disappoints me.”Sylvia was so startled that she almost had a heart attack… it was Tiara, how did she get rid of Liam's henchmen, didn't he tell Ryan to search the mansion. “You… why are you

Something happened in Darkside… Ryan just called me, you can ask him!” Ben's forehead was wet with sweat, he didn't dare to hide it anymore, afraid of being misunderstood, couldn't joke with Liam anyway. "What?"Liam growled, shouted. “Sir, Sylvia has been poisoned, life is in danger, is suspected of being poisoned. But Ryan still hasn't found someone named Tiara, maybe it's an impostor, using a fake name." Ben said a little. Then look at Liam's face, scrutinize it carefully. “Sylvia poisoned? Buy in and pay for dinner, then you take Sharon to Zimmer's house, I'll drive myself to the hospital, which hospital?" Liam felt his heart burn like fire. Never had he been so afraid of Sylvia's death as he was now.

    Liam raised his eyebrows slightly, not understanding what Aria meant. "Too bad, you're supposed to get revenge on the Carters!"“I originally wanted to get revenge on the Carters, but before that, I went to the university to find Ariel. She is a beautiful and honest angel, she changed my mind. Ariel is not afraid of this face of mine, not afraid at all. But what did that bitch do to my Ariel, she killed Ariel. It doesn't deserve to live better than death, that poison will eat away at its internal organs, it will have to suffer to death."Aria laughed wickedly. “You really are crazy.” Liam is angry. “And you are a despicable traitor.

Very stubborn.”Liam thought thoughtfully. "It's not easy for her to agree, having such a killing intent!"Liam looked at the screen with a second phone call - Henris. "Well, you go do your own business, I have other things to do."Ryan knew what he meant, and immediately said hello and hung up the phone. "I'm listening, Henris!"“Give you some good news, Liam.

    Ryan saw his master's angry expression and did not dare to say anything more, Sylvia was already unconscious so he couldn't ask for more information about the person who poisoned her. In his heart, Ryan was worried that he would be punished by Liam. It was exactly as he predicted. Liam immediately turned to ask. “What are you still standing here for? Go rummage through Darkside for me, find out who poisoned Sylvia. Since when did my house become a place where anyone can come and go?”"Yes, I'm going to work now!"Liam wasn't so sure about Sylvia, he sat down beside her, looking at her pale face and parched lips. In a short time, so much has happened. Liam hopes Henris side can quickly find an antidote soon. More than a month has passed and still no news about Sylvia. Leo was deeply hurt and indignant. "Sir, have you called for me?" Leo's secretary - Tim used the contacts he knew to inquire, this time for the third time in the week to report. "What, any news?"“There's a bit of a
