Chapter 151“You think you’ve won?” Jonah asked, narrowing his eyes at Liam. However, Liam said nothing which further aggravated Jonah. Seeing that Liam was paying no mind to him, Jonah groaned and stepped forward. “Watch your back, Liam. You may have my cousin bowing at your feet and worshipping you, but you don’t want to have me as an enemy.” Jonah said and without waiting for a response, turned and walked away. However, before he could get far, Liam’s voice suddenly sounded, “Guess we’ll find out in twenty-four hours. But a word of advice. It’s not too late to back out now and correct your wrong. You may think that Peter is your savior or even friend, but he’s worse than me, and trust me, you really don’t want to find out the hard way.” Jonah stopped, then slowly turned, a wry smirk appearing on his face, “I’ll take my chances.” He said and walked away.After he left, Liam sat for a while longer, reflecting on his next moves, but then Mia’s voice interjected softly, “Liam,” she c

The truck hung loosely on the edge of the ravine, threatening to tip forward any moment. Liam had a choice to make. He could either hold on to the case or watch Mia get her brains blown out. His whole life, he’d never felt this powerless. Never had to. Since he was forced to fit into the role created for him, he only had to look out for himself. This was why he didn’t want Mia to join them in the first place. He knew that she could be compromised and used against him, and now he would have to make a tough choice as a result of it. Lose the only claim of evidence he had to shut this Peter’s operation down once and for all or lose the girl he loved.Jonah smirked as he watched him struggle. The gun in his hand was now pressed firmly against Mia’s forehead. His men had quickly surrounded the perimeter of the truck, with their weapons raised, waiting for the command to fire. There was no escape.“Come on Liam, you don’t have so much time. This truck is going to fall off any moment now. Ha

The car roared through the night, carrying them away from the wreckage, chaos, and almost certain death. Laura, still barely conscious, rested in the backseat. Her breathing was shallow but steady. Meanwhile, Mia leaned against Liam, and neither of them spoke for a while. The tragedy that had almost caught them was still fresh on everybody’s minds.Some time passed and then Mia let out a soft sigh, “We lost the case,” she murmured, her voice filled with disappointment. “Everything’s gone, and now that bastard is going to win the case tomorrow and everything will fall apart.”Liam didn’t respond at first. He just stared at the road ahead, deep in thought. Then after a moment, he exhaled sharply. “Then we get it back.”Mia turned quickly toward him, staring at his face with acute observation. His jaw was tight, his knuckles white and his face laced with a look she couldn’t recognize, something dark, sinister. She could tell just by looking at him that Liam had been pushed over the edge.

Michael’s face widened in shock when he saw Jonah. “What the hell is this Jonah? What do you think you’re doing?” He snapped irritably.“I’ll attend to you shortly,” Jonah said and stretched out his hand dismissively. Michael stopped, his eyes widening in disbelief, “You little bastard! How dare you speak to me that way. I sh-“ A gun clicked and Michael immediately froze.“I said, I’ll attend to you shortly,” Jonah said, his voice stern and threatening, holding a gun to Michael’s face. Immediately the atmosphere of the room shifted. The air became thick with tension as Jonah’s men raised their weapons. Michael froze in place, his words stuck in his throat. He could not believe it, Jonah had gone completely mad.“You shouldn’t have come here, Michael. Now you’ve seen too much.” Jonah said.Michael stepped forward, his eyes still wide with disbelief. “Jonah… What is this? You’ve been running an illegal operation this whole time?”Jonah shrugged, and then said, “You were never meant to f

As the council convened, Liam and Michael took their seats, poise and ready. They scanned their eyes around the crowd but Jonah was nowhere to be found. However, just then, the entrance door swung open. The entire room stilled, and shifted their attention to the door, watching curiously as Jonah walked in. Liam had picked up the analysis gotten from Dr Carter earlier that morning, and with the results, he was confident that there was no way, Jonah would be let to go free. Although there was still no word from Jack, Liam was a little relieved that the only source of Chrysanthemum left was the storage building and with the court’s ruling, Jonah would be forced to destroy it.Everyone had gathered to witness the last showdown. The council leader, Chairman Reynolds stood up after everyone was settled, and then began, “We have gathered today to address serious allegations about your involvement in Mr Nelson’s schemes.” He paused and turned to Liam, “Mr. Moran, you have evidence?”Liam shi
