After ending the calll, Jessica turned back to Cynthia.
“What were you saying cynthia?” Jessica asked.
“Mr Miller is a pervert and I have evidence to prove it.” she said with a straight face.
She showed Jessica the picture she got from Ashley and a fabricated chat picturing him as a pervert.
Jessica’s expression turned serious as she saw the picture.
“Thank you, i assure you that measures will be taken against it.” she said
“Keep the good work up.”
“You can leave now.” She dismissed Cynthia.
“Yes ma.” she said and left Jessica's office.
Although Jessica did not take any immediate action, Cynthia leaves Jessica’s office feeling victorious believing that her plan to get Liam fired finally worked.
Jessica looked at the papers Cynthia left on her desk containing a chat log between Liam and an unknown woman and the picture that clearly gives away his face.

Liam after taking care of his room decided to go to the herb market to get herbs to suppress the seal in him.
He went to almost all the stores but could not get the herb he needed, he decided to go back home.
On his way back, he stumbled on Healthy lands , a prominent store connected to the Grants, one of the eight great families mentioned by Christopher earlier.
He remembered Gabriel saying their partnership with TMO will favor both parties. Curiosity got the better of him so he decided to check the store.
He entered the store to check if he would be able to get the herbs he needed. When he entered he noticed a crowd gathered around a man who seemed to be severely injured.
he moved closer to check what was going on.
The injured man turned out to be Ryan Rose, the chairman of the Delvin Hub Martial Club United.
He was lying on a stretcher.
A man in his mid fifties is trying to treat him.
“The renowned head of the Grant's family and one of the nation's top is the one trying to treat him.” Liam overheard two women say.
“Joshua Grant?” the first woman asked.
“One and only.” the second woman responded
Joshua tries to administer a medicinal concoction to Ryan, Liam recognizes the mixture.
“Stop!” Liam screamed. Liam figured that the mixture would be fatal if taken into the body system.
The crowd and Joshua face him. Murmurs could be heard in their midst. "Who is he?"
They asked among themselves.
“The concoction could be fatal.” Liam warns“And who are you to intervene?” Heather Rose, Ryan’s daughter asked.
“Liam Miller.” he answered
“Do you realize who you are talking to?” Rose fiercely defends Joshua.
"he knows what he is doing, you should mind your business." she said before turning back to Joshua
Joshua, confident in his knowledge, dismisses Liam’s warning and proceeds with the treatment. He turned back to Ryan and gave him the concontion to drink.
Ryan appears to improve immediately after taking the medicine, and the crowd showers Joshua with praise for his miraculously skill.
“He has done it again.” some said
“He is so skilled…..”
After a few minutes, Ryan sat up feeling much better. He thanks Joshua for not only healing his martial arts injury but also for curing older, lingering ailments.
“Master Joshua, I owe you my life.” he said“Thank you very much Master. I feel so much better.” he continued.
“I feel 18 again, even my back bone feels renewed.” he said when realize that his old age lingering back pain is gone.As a result, Ryan pledges to have all future injuries among his martial club members treated at Healthy Land.
“You are now Delvin hub martial club’s doctor. All injuries that occur at my club will be treated at healthy land and by Master Joshua.” he pledged
The crowd applaused and praised Joshua.
After the treatment, the crowd started to leave.
Joshua turns his attention back to Liam.
“Young man, I see you are knowledgeable about medicine and herbs.” Joshua said
“Would you like to be an apprentice of mine?” he condescendingly offered to take him on as an apprentice at Healthy Land.
Liam, unimpressed by Joshua’s attitude and dismissive of his offer, boldly responds with,"Are you even worthy?"
This rude remark shocks those who are at the scene where the incident occurred.
Liam challenged the authority of a man known as one of the best doctors in the country.
Before anyone could react, Ryan collapsed.
Liam shocked everyone when he arrogantly rejected Joshua's offer to become his apprentice, and even called Joshua unworthy. Before anyone can react further, Ryan, the chairman of Delvin Hub Martial Club United, collapses, spitting blood and losing consciousness after taking the cure administered by Joshua. “Father!!!..” Heather screamed as she rushed to hold him as he fell. He started spilling blood and lost consciousness.The crowd started murmuring, questioning Joshua’s expertise. “I thought he was the best in town.”........... “Is he dead?” Joshua rushes to check Ryan, he realizes that Liam was right he administered the wrong drug. He stood up to tender a public apology. “I am sorry for the failure of my treatment but his injuries are too severe for me to be able to save him.” He apologizes, admitting that his treatment had failed, and Ryan's injuries were too severe for him to save. “We lost him.” Joshua said. Heather, Ryan's daughter, is distraught, all hope is
As the reporters sighted Jessica and Ashley, they rushed over to them. Suddenly, Liam started coughing violently, spitting black blood.Jessica rushed to hold Liam before he blacked out.“Liam!...!!” she screamed as she rushed to his side. She looked around for Cynthia, she saw her running towards her.“Get the car.” She said to her. Ashley tried to touch Liam.“Get your hands off him.” she said, pulling Liam closer to herself.“Hey, can you hear me?” Jessica said, shaking his body gently.When the car arrived,Jessica’s body guard assisted her in lifting Liam into the car.She took one more glance at Ashley who was glaring at her before she entered the car. The reporters kept taking pictures even after Jessica’s car left. Ashley’s driver arrived and she left angrily.-In the car“Make sure none of those pictures get out.” Jessica told Cynthia. “Yes ma” she replied.Jessica turned her attention to Liam, her brow furrowed with worry as she stared at his pale face.He winces in pain
End of flashbackLiam decided to go to where he saw in his vision, he had a score to settle with the so-called dragon head. He knew he would get his answers there.Just then, two cars stopped beside him. Five huge men came out of the vehicle holding guns and daggersThe man who seemed like their leader did not get down from the car, he was leaning out of the passenger seat lazily.“Liam Miller?” he asked.“Yes, and you are?” Liam asked curiously. Who are these people?He thought to himself.Before the man who looked like the leader could answer, one of his men responded. “This is Theodore of sykeon, can’t you see?” he cried.“So?” Liam replied.“How can you be so disrespectful?”another men exclaimed“Is he someone powerful?” Liam asked again.“I'll knock you senseless!” one of the hooligans said.Liam snorted, how outrageous are these people?“Stop!!” Theodore said, He turned to Liam. “You've got some guts, usually people beg for mercy. If you kneel down and beg me, I might decide to
“Why is he still alive?” Gabriel thought to himself. He looks like a different person entirely, he was not the calm looking nerd guy. Liam without sparing him a glance went into the club.Gabriel knuckles turned white. “Fuck!” he muttered to himself.-Liam made his way to the executive suites, where there were about five guards standing at the door, he figured Asher will be inside. As he got to the door, one guard stopped him.“Stop right there, what are you looking for?”“Asher Miller.” he said bitterly“Name?” The guard asked.“Tell him his brother is here.” Liam said.He glanced at him before entering the suit to inform Asher. When he entered, Asher looked up from the document before him. “What’s wrong?”Asher hates being disturbed when working. He bows, “Dragon lord, someone called Liam Miller is here to see you.”“Liam?” He asked. His expression changed.“You all can't get anything done by yourselves!!, Bunch of fools!” he said, pushing everything on his desk on the floor.“I a
He signaled to everyone to keep quiet. “Miss matthew.”“Where the hell are you!!” Jessica said worriedly.The sect leaders were surprised at his change of tone; he picked one of the keys without checking it.“You left the hospital without receiving proper treatment and you did not go home.” she continued.“I went to the herb store, I am sorry,” he said calmly.“Come to my place immediately!” she said and hung up.Liam left hurriedly.Liam returned to Matthew's villa, when he entered there was no one in the living room so he decided to check Jessica’s office.He passed by her office and noticed a slightly opened door in the hallway.He opened the door and entered and was stunned. Jessica was trying to zip her gown, she looked up, startled, as he approached her."Need some help?" Liam asked.Jessica's cheeks flushed as she nodded, feeling a little embarrassed at being caught in such a vulnerable position. Liam stepped behind her and gently took the zipper, his fingers brushing against
Liam signed the contract.“We will have a mini wedding.” Jessica blurted out as Liam was about to stand up.“What?” surprised, Liam almost fell back to his seat.“My grandfather insisted that a small marriage must be arranged. Just me, you and him.” “Except you have anyone you would like to invite.” she continued.Liam shaked his head before answering, “I don't.” he said curlty.“Any of your parents or grandparents??” she asked her voice showing hint of concern.Liam jaw hardened, “They are all dead.” he said with no expression on his face.“I am sorry.” Jessica said apologetically. He felt a surge of heat rushed through his system again. He did not want jessica to know what was wrong with him, he decided to leave before she noticed.“It’s fine,” he said before standing up.“Miss Matthew, I have to go now.” liam said, he stood up aburtly. As he stood up to leave, a sudden surge of dark energy coursed through his veins, like a whispered warning from the shadows of themselves.“What
Liam woke up to the sound of his phone ringing, Cynthia's voice could be heard on the other end, yelling at him to wake up.“You are always sleeping! What is wrong with you?” cynthia yelled“Are you pregnant?”“Good morning.” Liam said checking the time, it was just six am.“Miss Mathew asked you to meet her at the villa in twenty minutes, it is urgent and important.” she said rudely and hung up.Liam groggily got out of bed and began his morning routine. After a quick bath, he headed to Jessica's villa, wondering what the urgency was about.When he arrived, he found Jessica in the living room with her grandfather. He greeted both of them.“Good morning sir, miss matthew.” liam said“Oh please, call me joseph.” Jessica's grandfather said.“Trust you are good joseph.” he asked “Definitely, if not you would have seen me at your doorstep.” he said and they all laughed.“Please sit.” Jessica said.“Your secretary called me this morning to ask for me.” Liam said.“Yes I did, we need to
The attendant called out, “Miss Matthew,it’s time to try out your dress.” Liam’s heart skipped a beat as Jessica stood up, he watched her movement as she moved gracefully, he couldn't wait to see her in her dress.She disappeared into the fitting room.Liam waited anxiously, wondering how she would look in her wedding dress.A few minutes later, she came out of the fitting room and Liam’s breath was caught in his throat. She looked stunning. The ivory gown hugged her curves perfectly, and the delicate lace shone in the light.Liam’s eyes widened in awe, unable to look away. Jessica’s grandfather beamed with pride,his eyes shining with happiness.“Bravo!!!!..Bravo!!!..” John exclaimed, clapping his hands.“Princess, you look breathtaking,” he said, his voice filled with emotions.“Just like your mother, true vision of beauty.” Jessica's grandfather said tearing up.Jessica’s cheeks flushed and she smiled, her eyes glowing. “Thank you pa.”Liam could not help but agree, he has never
