Liora's voice echoed behind me, laughter accompanying her words, "Hi. You're too kind. It's just something that had to be done. With all that money invested, what else could I have done?”I silently cursed her shamelessness. She had taken over someone else's property and pretended to be innocent now."Indeed, it's still because of your capability, right? I heard that the couple had done quite a few shady things. Maybe Tanum should be investigated, too. Who knows if they’re doing the same thing?" Someone remarked sharply."Oh, please don't say that! The CEO of Tanum is present, so be careful with your words." Liora played the role of a good person.Her provocations were directed toward me, who had my back turned to her.But some people just didn't know their limits. Upon hearing Liora's words, someone immediately said, "So what? Everyone knows about the Murphy family’s dirty deeds. Tanum’s ex-CEO has been running the company for so many years. I bet the foundation has long been cor

"You arrived a bit late. Ms. Liora and I chatted for quite a while," I casually added, throwing more fuel to the fire.Stella's eyes glanced at Liora. Although she maintained a smile, a shadow clouded her eyes.Moreover, I noticed that Liora seemed off since the arrival of Trinity and Stella. Her attention wasn't on us. Instead, she briefly glanced at Vicky, who had been following her.Soon after, Vicky discreetly left our group.I added, "How is the matter in Muborough handled? Putting Matthew in prison involves many projects, and it's not wise. There are mixed reactions about it—some happy, some not so much."My words were direct, implying that Liora may have done more harm than good by implicating Matthew. Celine was deeply involved in the Muborough projects, and the current situation was undoubtedly distressing her.This incident, after all, was instigated by Liora.Even though I spoke plainly, Liora didn't catch on, showing that her attention was elsewhere.Stella couldn't

I remained silent and stared at Madison calmly.When she saw that I didn't respond, Madison grew even more arrogant. "Do you really think you've become a socialite just because you’re running a company and have won a few projects?"Her imposing demeanor carried a certain air of authority."Just wearing a branded dress doesn't make you sophisticated. Someone who's both an ex-wife and a mistress should be more cautious. I'd advise people like that to control themselves and stay low-key," Madison said, looking quite pleased with herself. After her remark, I couldn't help glancing at her expensive attire.To my surprise, it was luxurious from head to toe.When I still didn't respond, she shook her head and added, "That might help them not end up like Harmony one day, manipulated, deceived, and ruined.”One of the sycophants beside her chimed in when she saw my continued silence. "Exactly. Some people shouldn't have any grand illusions. In Foswood, there are many legitimate socialites

I watched coldly as Trinity was shrouded in an eerie aura. She looked nothing like the once delicate and frail figure in the hospital bed.As the crisp sound of the slap echoed through the room, Vicky collapsed to the ground, and blood streamed from the corner of her mouth. She clutched her swollen face, retreating in fear."What about the Huffman family?" Trinity bent down and addressed the terrified Vicky.Then, she swiftly turned to look at Liora. "Tell me, what does the Huffman family mean to you?"There was a mysterious expression on her face. "You're really quite full of yourself. You dared disrespect even the Huffman family, huh?”Liora's eyes darted around. She clearly felt embarrassed. When she glanced at me, protected in Atlas's arms, she knew the current situation was beyond her control.She lowered her head, addressing Trinity differentially, "She... She's still young and doesn't understand many things. Please forgive her ignorance, Trinity." She took a step back, vis

He continued, “They must have noticed the moment we caught Jarvis, so we were actually one step behind."I finally understood what he had planned. He had been doubly prepared, fearing that if they missed their target, their next step would be compromised. It wasn't about excluding the Huffman family."We need to stick to our principles when dealing with the Huffman family. It's not about exclusion." He tightened his arm around me and gently stroked my back. "I know I let you down.""Don't blame yourself. Maybe my father's ordeal just isn’t over yet," I comforted Atlas. "I know you're more anxious about this than I am.""I've already arranged for a meeting with the patriarch of the Huffman family. Rest assured, I won't give up any leads. But we need to plan things carefully before we find him. We can't waste any opportunities.""Do you think he's in danger?" I asked with concern."No. Based on the current situation, they must have other plans. He should still be there. The reason
