Though he had almost recovered, the strain of recent events weighed heavily on her mind.Before leaving, she informed Kai, who nodded solemnly. "Take care, Alisha. If anything changes with Liam, I'll let you know.""Thank you, Kai," she replied softly before making her way to her father's ward.When she walked in, she found Richard sitting up on his bed, his face lighting up with a smile as he saw her. "Alisha! It's good to see you, sweetheart.""Hi, Dad," she managed to say, her voice cracking slightly.Richard immediately noticed the strain on her face. His smile faded into concern. "What’s wrong, darling? You look so distressed."Alisha couldn’t hold back her tears any longer. She began sobbing, covering her face with her hands. "It’s Liam, Dad.

Chapter 242After waiting for about an hour, the evening had already started to fade into night. Alisha and Kai sat in the waiting area of the service station, each lost in their own thoughts. Alisha tried to stay calm, but worry etched her features. Finally, the mechanic approached them, wiping his hands on a rag."I'm sorry to inform you, ma'am," the mechanic said, his voice filled with genuine regret, "but there's a part missing that we need to fix your car. We don't have it in stock right now."Alisha's face fell. "Oh no... How long will it take to get the part?"The mechanic shook his head. "I'm not sure. It could be a couple of days before we can get it in and fix your car."Alisha sighed, rubbing her temples. "That's just great. What am I supposed to do now?"Kai, who had been quietly listening, spoke up. "Don't worry about it, Alisha. I'll drive you home myself."Alisha looked at him, relief washing over her.

Chapter 246As Williams left Mr. Sterling's office, his mind whirled with thoughts of his own ambition.He hadn't forgotten his initial plan to eliminate Mr. Sterling and everyone else once their mission was successful. The way Mr. Sterling had been commanding him lately annoyed him, but he kept his cool, acting loyal to prevent any suspicion.Liam was their immediate problem. Once Liam was out of the way, he would turn his sights on James. After dealing with James, Mr. Sterling would be next, allowing Williams to make away with all the money in EMC.Walking down the dimly lit hallway, Williams considered who would be the perfect person to disguise as a nurse and eliminate Liam in the hospital. Then, the name Sasha crossed his mind.He remembered how they had met years ago in Redwater, a small but bustling town known for its underground dealings.

This doesn’t concern you."Sasha sensed his hostility towards Williams and told him sternly, "Enough."Turning to Williams, she asked, "So, what do you have me do with him?"
