When Liam said those words, Lord David felt there was more to it. He sat quietly for some moment, then picked up the whisky bottle, poured himself another drink, and then took a swig. “Do you think she would have loved you less?” Lord David asked curiously.Liam chuckled softly, “That’s not what I am afraid of.” Upon hearing these words, Lord David’s brows arched in confusion, “What do you mean by that?”Liam heaved a tired sigh and poured himself another glass. He took a swig and hunkered down into his seat, staring intently at Lord David before saying, “How well do you know my family, Sir?”Perplexed by the question, Lord David twisted his face, “Your grandfather Shawn was my best friend.”“Yes, I know, but did you actually know him? Who he truly was, the power he held? Anything other than what he showed you.” He asked.David remained quiet, searching his mind for answers. “Are you saying that Shawn never really showed me who he was?” He asked, his anger rising. He and Shawn had be

Lord David’s face flashed with horror when Liam spoke those words. “Why did you do that Liam?” He panicked, making Liam more confused.“He needed to be stopped, the plans Peter has for this city,” he paused, reeling his mind to the Chrysanthemum lab, “It’s madness. A lot of people will die if I don’t stop him.” Although Lord David did not understand the gravity of the situation, he could not help but wonder if any of this had anything to do with Liam’s personal vendetta against Peter. After everything Liam had just said, Lord David believed he’d seen everything clearly now. Peter would never have become the tyrant he was if Liam’s family did not turn him into one. As much as Peter was the devil, he was also a victim. With this realization, Lord David remained quiet for a moment and then heaved a deep sigh, “Are you doing this for us or your own revenge?”Those words took Liam by surprise. Until now, he’d always felt there was a small side to him that felt that his resentment for Pet

Liam hesitated for a moment before walking into the room. It had been almost three weeks now since he last visited this room. As the door opened, he could feel the familiar pungent chemical smell filling his nose and a little part of his heart sank. The doctors had said that his grandfather’s survival was out of their hands. There was nothing more they could do to save him. His life was now in the hands of the machines and fate. After a deep long pause, Liam heaved a deep breath and walked inside the room.The temperature in the air shifted immediately, becoming more chill the closer he approached Shawn. His footsteps although purposeful were filled with a mix of reluctance and sadness. He suddenly stopped, beside a bed and folded his hands behind his back staring at the unconscious body that was only sustained by machines.Liam heaved a deep sigh, pulled a seat, and sat beside Shawn. This was a practice he always did since when he was a child. After their entire family was killed, hi

Mia broke out in loud laughter, “You, you want to help my family?” She repeated, still amused by Victor’s words.“You are right, Victor, I don’t believe you. I don’t think you truly want to help my family and do you know how I know that?” She paused, but before Victor could say anything, she continued, “Because you’ve said those lies before, but let’s look at the truth. You wormed your way into this family through Carl, of course, by then I should have known you were just like him and could not be trusted.”“But as much as the signs were there, I chose to give you the benefit of the doubt and trust you. You claimed you wanted to help this family but the whole time, all that you were doing was trying to get Liam out of your way, and in so doing you brought chaos and ruin to this family. If it wasn’t for Liam, we probably never would have recovered everything we almost lost.And somehow they let you out of that place you were supposed to rot in, and you think that we’ll be naive again t

The camera panned around and slowly Liam could feel his rage increasing, but then the camera stopped, showing Victor Carpi standing beside her and smirking into the camera.Liam’s blood turned to ice.“Tell me, Liam,” Victor’s voice drawled through the speaker. “How much is she worth to you?” Victor asked, tracing a sharp knife along her face, and then the video cut off.Liam remained frozen, staring at the screen as his pulse thundered in his ears. His grip on the phone was so tight he thought it might crack.His hands trembled—not with fear or uncertainty, but with pure, unfiltered rage. If Victor was in front of him now, there was no telling what he’d do to him. Nevertheless, one thing was certain, Victor Carpi was a dead man.Michael noticed the incensed look on Liam’s face and approached him with slow measured steps. “Everything okay, Master Moran?” Liam snapped out of his trance, the shock and anger still evident on his face, but then he heaved a deep sigh and momentarily tried
