Liam’s response took the family by surprise. Mia’s gaze shifted quickly towards him, confused by his willing participation. She’d expected he’d put up a little fight, but upon seeing how willing he was to go along with this, she felt disappointed and worried. Did he not want to be with her? Was he rejecting her?She had never been in a position where she was rejected by a man, and Liam had just casually turned down an opportunity to be entitled to millions of dollars by refusing her. Yona on the other hand was beyond thrilled. Without any thought, she grabbed the documents from Carl and handed them to Liam,“Just sign your initials here, and here.” Liam clicked the pen, shifted his gaze one more time towards Mia, then drew a deep breath and signed his name across the document. However, before he handed it over to Lord David, he stopped, staring at him intently,“You all think I’m the problem, but I promise you I’m not the one you should be worrying about.” He started.“What are you

“Who would that be and do you have any relationship to this person, any information that could help me in my investigation?” Marcus asked.Lord David remained quiet, giving it one more thought. Finally, he threw caution to the wind and said, “His name is Liam Maron, and he’s my son-in-law.” Lord David announced.Marcus remained quiet for a moment as if the name had struck a familiar chord, “I’ll let you know what I find.” He said and ended the call. Meanwhile, shortly after Mia returned to her room, her phone chimed with a notification. She retrieved the phone and as soon as she glanced at the screen, her hand weakend immediately.As she stared at the screen, she could see a large number of different accounts all tied to her family’s business. Accounts that she was not aware of.Slowly, she picked up the phone and started scrolling through the messages again. Suddenly she paused when she noticed a familiar name, and as she zoomed into it, her eyes flashed with horror. It was exactly

Mia cleared her throat again, contemplating if she could trust Cecile with any of these. Even though they had a very close and personal relationship back on campus, it had been four years since then, and for all she knew this could have all just been an act and Cecile was not the same trusty person she’d always known her to be.Seeing her reluctance, Cecile’s gaze deepened. “I understand this may be quite serious before you’d decide to come to me about it, but I am working on the clock here, so whatever it is you have to tell me or need me to do, I suggest we get to it quickly.”Mia lifted her gaze and heaved a sigh. If she wanted to find out what was going on in her family, especially with her mother, maybe she just had to learn to trust Cecile again.With that, she grabbed her purse and pulled out a small folder, placing it on the table.Cecile stared at her hesitantly, and asked, arching her brows, “What’s this?”“I was hoping you’d tell me,” Mia answered. Slowly, Cecile reached f

Mia thought deeply, realizing for the first time that she knew nothing about the man’s family she had married. “Do you know anything about this man?” Celine asked with a raised brow. She could not imagine that Mia would marry a man whose family she had not even met. But judging by the look on her face, she didn’t need Mia to answer to know that she couldn’t feed her with any information.She heaved a deep sigh and leaned back into her seat. This would be one of her most challenging journalism jobs, but her resolve hardened. This was only going to prove her sharp intuition as a journalist and help her elevate in her career ladder, possibly securing the position of the deputy editor she’d wanted but was always denied every time, if she managed to get a strong report on both Peter Nelson and Liam.“So? Can you find out anything about him?” Mia asked in desperation.Celine took a long deep gaze at her and could tell there was more to this than just finding out Liam’s secrets. She could s

Martha stared at Liam deeply for a while and then asked, “Who are you?”Liam drew a deep breath. He had half expected her to ask him something personal, but he never imagined she’d ask about his identity. Revealing his identity, particularly now was a dangerous move, but he decided that if he needed her to trust him, he’d have to trust her too.With that, he held a strong gaze and replied, “Liam… My name is Liam Moran.”Martha arched her brows in confusion and cleared her throat, “The name doesn’t ring any bells,” before Liam could say anything else, she quickly interjected,“Mr. Moran, like you said we are dealing with dangerous people here, and I need to know before we can go further with any discussions that I can trust my life to be safe in your hands. I need to know that you are capable of protecting me.”Liam heaved a deep sigh. He could see her concerns and worry, but there was no need for them. However, he realized that if he needed her to be convinced, he’d have to tell her
