Mia chuckled bitterly, her voice tinged with frustration.“Of course,” she muttered under her breath. “It had to be her.” She said, recognizing the voice.It was her sister, Yona.Suddenly, everything clicked into place.Yona must have been the one behind all this.The only way Yona could have found her so quickly was if she orchestrated it.Mia clenched her fists as the realization dawned.Yona had always been jealous.Ever since their grandfather named Mia the heir to the family’s fortune, Yona had been seething with resentment.This must have been her twisted plan to ruin Mia’s reputation and force their grandfather to change his mind.Despite the anger boiling inside her, Mia stayed composed.Panic wouldn’t solve anything.She had to think, to find a way out of this mess.Her gaze shifted to Liam, who was watching her silently.An idea formed in her mind, and she turned to him with narrowed eyes.“Listen carefully,” she said sharply.“That’s my sister at the door, and she’s proba

The room fell silent, stunned by Lord David's sudden change in demeanor.Yona broke the silence, her voice sharp with disbelief.“Grandpa, are you serious?” she demanded, her eyes blazing.“You want him, some low-class nobody, to join our family?”Her glare shifted to Liam, filled with unbridled contempt.Slap!The sharp crack of Lord David’s hand striking Yona’s cheek echoed like a whip.Yona stumbled back, her hand flying to her burning cheek, her eyes wide with shock and humiliation.Lord David’s hand trembled as he lowered it, his face dark with fury.“Watch your mouth!” he growled, his voice low and dangerous.Yona stammered, her voice trembling.“But… he’s—”“Liam is the grandson of my best friend!” Lord David snapped, cutting her off. “They were already engaged twenty years ago. Do you have any questions about that?”Yona’s lips pressed into a thin line, silenced by his words.Mia’s eyes widened, her mind racing to process what she had just heard.Liam stood still, his expressi

The hall fell into an abrupt silence, every eye fixed on Liam as if he were the main act of a circus. Then, the quiet was shattered by bursts of loud, derisive laughter."A hundred million dollars?!" Carl repeated, barely containing his mirth."How desperate is this man?" Melissa scoffed, her contempt unmistakable."Does he truly believe we're that gullible?""You? A hundred million?" Yona sneered, her eyes narrowing. "You're out of your mind."Mia felt her cheeks flame with embarrassment. She couldn't fathom how Liam was making such a fool of her.What an insufferable boaster!How could he continue to posture so arrogantly when it was clear he didn't possess a hundred million dollars?She stormed over to him, her eyes ablaze with indignation, and clutched his hand firmly, pulling him aside."Please stop this!" she implored whispering, her brow furrowed in irritation."You're not just humiliating yourself, but me as well.""I know I asked you to play along, but I have everything under

Liam arrived at the Young’s mansion after a short drive and was immediately greeted by the old butler. “I’m here to examine the girl’s condition.”“Alright, follow me.” The butler said and led Liam to Natalie’s room.A few minutes later, Liam arrived at The Young’s mansion, and as he approached the front entrance, he was stopped by the old butler in the mansion. The old man. Regan Thomas greeted, “Hello sir, may I know who you are and your business with the Young’s”“I’m Liam Maron, I heard Young's daughter was very ill, and I came here to examine her. I was invited by Michael Young.”Thomas looked at Liam with a trace of suspicion, Liam wore cheap clothes and looked quite like a regular person. He wasn’t exactly what was the man was expecting, “Apologies sir, I’ll have to confirm if you have an appointment with the Young family.”Liam frowned boldly upon hearing this. The Young’s daughter could possibly die if he didn’t get to her quickly. “There’s a Young girl in there that needs

Hearing this, Liam felt a flash of anger. If Michael had listened to him, this wouldn’t have happened, Natalie wouldn’t be on the brink of death.But he remembered Jack Gunter’s words about the Young family being loyal subordinates of their family and heaved a tired sigh.If he left now, he would be damning an innocent girl to pay the price for her parents' mistakes.With that running through his mind, he looked at Michael with a scolding gaze, “You’re lucky. If I had left this compound, your daughter would be dead before I could return.” Michael’s face crumbled with regret and fear. He broke down begging earnestly, the reality of his mistakes flashing before his eyes. “Young master, please forgive me. I didn’t know who you were. I thought I was helping my daughter, but I was only making things worse.”If anything happened to his daughter, he would only have himself to blame. He had to do whatever he could to fix this situation now or he’d never forgive himself.Liam met his pleading
