Both Larry and Liana were having the best of time together and Liana felt less lonely as she had already found someone she shared a common goal with. Larry effortlessly made her feel comfortable around him and he saved her from time to time when she was in trouble and when she felt lonely not without getting a reward from her Liana didn't mind since granting him the reward was what she loved most.Larry got to know the kind of person Liana was, open-minded and insecure, and greed and selfishness were something that wasn't far from noticing but he had to put that aside since using her would help her accomplish his goals. The thoughts about signing the divorce papers started lingering in her mind as she was sitting all alone in the dining room after her maid had cleared the table. Her eyes were fixed on the divorce papers in front of her a she thought solely whether to sign them or not. She still felt Richard was still her husband and thought maybe he didn't think it through before ask
Richard paid for the drinks they had and ordered a cab for his colleagues as he headed back to his car, a reminisce of the man's face lingered in his mind as he opened the piece of paper to read its contents. He was almost startled to death as the paper seemed to be a bloody note, written with blood that was a threat for him to stay far from Liana and the only person he suspected to have written this was the man Liana was seeing behind his back which made his desires for the divorce grow even more as he made withheld his urge and dialed Liana's number which she answered without haste."Oh my god, Richard you lied about changing your number. I've been having sleepless...""Have you signed the divorce papers?" He asked, cutting her words short from her mouth.Liana hesitated. Does this mean he wants a divorce? "Richard I don't want you to regret this later on that's why I'm still hanging onto it."Richard let out a low laugh. "Your useless boyfriend threatened me to stay away from you u
Chris was all smiles when he got in the car with Yue Wang. The latter noticed the proud look on Chris's face and couldn't help but gently slap his shoulder. "Hey, what's that for?" He flinched."I should be asking you that." She said as she glanced at the window.Chris sighed. "That woman was my ex, she ditched me because of my lowlife and suddenly wants me back after my new identity." He explained, resting his elbow on the window.Yue Wang didn't seem surprised but she felt sorry for Chris. "That's sad. How do you plan to get over everything?"A mischievous smile settled on Chris's face. "Let's play." He smirked.Meanwhile, Liana couldn't get a hold of herself as she kept thinking about how Chris and the beautiful woman make a perfect match and started all sorts of comparisons between her and the Asian lady in her head."How on earth did such a lovely woman end up with Christopher?" She groaned in annoyance, stomping her feet on the ground."Why wouldn't he end up with such a woman w
Larry stopped the cab he was in immediately he got a glimpse of Liana's red car by the roadside as the cops were examining it from behind. He got out of the can and ran to where the car was.He saw how badly the car got damaged from behind and the stains from Liana's blood on the ground. A cop saw him and looked at him suspiciously but Larry didn't mind as his mind was occupied with the thoughts of Liana."Mister, are you related to the victim?" The policeman asked curiously, rolling his eyes at Larry.Larry rubbed his jaw as he cleared his throat to speak. "I'm the victim's boyfriend." He said nervously.The policeman nodded in understanding. "Did she tell you about her whereabouts or something? The accident was grace you know?""She didn't tell me about her whereabouts. I would have stopped her from going out if this was going to be the case." Larry said as he gazed at the damaged car. "We'll need you to stay around for some questioning." Larry shook his head disapprovingly. "I do
"I called for the guardian of the victim and he's here already." The doctor said as his gaze locked with the scared-faced man who seemed to be in shock at the doctor's outburst.Larry was also curious to know who this so-called guardian of Liana was as he was the only one who had appeared to be her guardian so far and her husband couldn't come over since they'd been divorced. He thought deeply as he cleared his throat to speak. "Well, I'm her guardian." He said as he brought out a chair oops the doctor and settled down.The doctor heaved a sigh. "Mr. Richard, please make yourself known to him." He said, gesturing to the man sitting on Larry's left-hand side to make his presence known.Richard turned around with the swivel chair as he came to face with Larry who gazed at him in awe and disgust. "I'm not surprised you showed up as her guardian after all." He said furrowing his brows at him."Well if you aren't surprised by my presence then I am to yours." Larry retorted, rolling his eye
Richard thought of how to strike a deal with the acclaimed man from the Conrad family. The more he thought about it, the more interested he became. Larry on the other hand was waiting for Richard to say something before he left since Liana's situation came first before anyone else. Seeing that Richard didn't have anything more to say, he turned around to leave curing him inwardly.He wondered why the man appeared all of a sudden when he asked for a divorce and now that the divorce had been finalized he still claimed to be the victim's husband when he wasn't by law.After so much thought, Richard finally thought of what to say that'd spark Larry and capture his attention. "If you are indeed from the Conrad family, I can help you locate the chairman." He said with a smug look on his face.Larry halted in his tracks as he turned around to face him, chuckling darkly to Richard's surprise as he didn't expect Larry to laugh at his words. As he found it difficult to understand his personalit
Chris, Coldie, Yue Wang, and the other men in black suits gathered around in the sitting room, their expressions weary. Their eyes were glued to the big screen as today was the accession of Chris to become the CEO of RIC CORPORATION but why weren't they happy? Chris heaved a sigh as he rested his back on the chair massaging his scalp as he clasped his hands, his eyes glued to the big screen.Coldie wasn't left out as a gasp escaped his lips, his mouth heavy to say anything at the moment. "The chairman is supposed to be around by now since today is the long-awaited day." He said as he twitched his brows at the big screen."But you said he'd be home in no time, why isn't he home now or should we postpone the accession?" Chris asked, massaging his forehead, tired of the whole situation at hand.Yue Wang sniffed, using a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her eyes. It's been three days and the chairman hasn't called home, even Coldie who everyone thought knew about the chairman's whereab
"Young master, the meeting was a success," Coldie said with a proud smile on his face.Chris couldn't believe that he was finally the CEO of the prestigious company. The higher-ups didn't make him feel uncomfortable as he enjoyed every phase of the meeting. Seeing his office made his heart clench in excitement."My office space is huge." He said, a gasp escaping his lips as he examined the interior of his office which was captivating with a manly aura.Coldie nodded in response. "I'm glad you like your office space."Chris walked towards his desk, his hands touching every part of the wooden desk, his name boldly written on the tablet on the desk. "Wow, I'm impressed. Grandfather already had everything done.""Yes, the chairman is always ahead of his subjects. Besides he'll be happy after knowing you're already the CEO." Coldie said, a satisfactory smile placed on his lips.A sigh escaped Chris's lips. He took out a chair and sat on his, sadness washed over his face as he crossed his l
