THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Savior
Right at that moment, a mocking laughter burst in the crowd, followed by slow sarcastic clapping, “Well well well, what do we have here?” Lydia said, approaching Yona with slow measured steps.“I knew something wasn’t adding up when you outbid me.”She stopped in front of Yona, staring at her with a condescending smirk, “What’s the matter, Lydia? Can't you pay for your item?”“I should have known you were just a fraud,” Lydia added, shaking her head disdainfully.“Even after all these years, you are still pretending to be someone you’re not. Did you think that you could manipulate your way out of this? That you could lie to everybody here just to seem big? You’re nothing, Yona Stevens, you’ve always been nothing except a cheap, pretentious, liar. People like you disgust me, and now you’re going to get exactly what you deserve.”After saying that, Lydia turned to the auctioneer, “Do not waste any more time with this pretender. I know her, and I know she can’t pay for that necklace. So
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Peter's Intrigue
‘The transaction is successful.’ Those words stunned the entire hall. How was this possible?How could someone like him easily pay off $20 million?Yona’s eyes remained glued to Liam, staring at him in disbelief as if she was dreaming.The crowd remained quiet, frozen in disbelief.Meanwhile, Victor was fuming in anger. He could not believe that once again Liam had bested him.Quickly, he retrieved his stormed towards them, and grabbed the auctioneer, “Double check the payment. This man is a con artist. I’m sure that transaction is not even real. He’s fooling all of you.”Liam did not react. He knew Victor was just trying to cause another scene, but this time he was not going to partake.He had saved the Stevens from humiliation and that’s all that mattered.However, seeing the doubtful reaction from the crowd, the auctioneer could not help but wonder if Victor was actually up to something. Had this man fooled him?He turned toward Liam and kindly asked, “Sir, please you’re going to h
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Silent Threat
“You do not fear anybody,” Peter said with a low tone, his expression suddenly changed, becoming darker.Liam met Peter’s dark gaze with a cold piercing look, showing no fear.“I don’t see a reason to fear anyone.” He replied firmly.Peter chuckled softly, “Oh, you should. Don’t be so cocky Mr Moran, there are some very dangerous men in this city, and for someone new in town, it might be very dangerous for them, if they don’t thread carefully.”Liam’s eyes narrowed as he took a step forward, staring directly at Peter’s face, “Is that a threat?” He asked.Peter’s bodyguards slowly reached into their coats, sensing Liam as a threat, but Peter quickly waved his hand, stopping them before the situation escalated, “No, it isn’t. You’ll know when it’s a threat.” He paused, staring down at Liam.“Consider this a friendly warning, from someone who doesn’t want to see you get mixed up in situations you just might not be able to get out of.” He said and with that, turned to walk away, but then
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Fake Documents
The next morning, Mia rushed down to Liam’s room and after a brief contemplation, she knocked and waited.“Who is it?” Liam asked groggily.“It’s Mia,” she answered, and after a short while, the door clicked, opening slightly.Mia gulped heavily as she saw Liam’s bare body. Her inner thighs heated up, as a warm sensation traveled through her body, leaving her dumbfounded.Liam felt her gaze steady on him and slowly turned towards her, “Is anything wrong?” He asked calmly.Mia snapped out of her trance, shaking her head, trying to dismiss the thoughts that formed and strode inside.“I’m sorry about last night,” she apologized, immediately catching Liam’s attention.He stopped knotting his tie and turned to her with a surprised look, “What about it?” He asked, then walked away, and threw a jacket on.Mia gawked at his toned muscles and broad chest, her mind going adrift with sensual thoughts, but again, she shook her head,“I just couldn’t do it. I know you offered for me to meet the Bo
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Where is that cheat?
Liam picked up the documents and went through them, carefully reading every term of the agreement, and a small smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. He noticed that this agreement was an attempt to implicate him, and at that time, he could not help but wonder who put Roger up to this.Lifting his gaze, he stared at the man intently for a few seconds, then reached into his bag and pulled out a file.“I hope you don’t mind Mr Trent, but the director had already taken the liberty of printing out and signing a partnership agreement with the Stevens and all that’s left is for you to sign,” Liam said tactically.Roger’s face flushed, like a thief who had been caught red-handed. He stared at Liam directly, then his lips curled into a wry smirk, knowing that he had caught him at his con attempt.Not wanting to make this into something more, Roger picked up the paper and hesitated for a bit, but then signed his name across and handed the document back to Liam.A proud smirk crossed Liam’s
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Thrown Out
“I’m here to do what none of you has the guts to do!” Victor yelled.“That man is a criminal and I’m here to expose him!” As soon as he said that, he brought out an arrest warrant handing it to Yona.At this time, The Stevens quickly gathered and Lord David approached Victor with concern.“What’s this Victor?” He asked with a slight frown on his face.“Isn’t it obvious?” Liam interjected, walking fearlessly towards Victor.“He’s been trying so hard to find something against me, and now he’s stooping so low to even forge documents, accusing me of being a criminal. If anyone here should be arrested, it’s this man right here.” Liam said, glaring at Victor.“Is that true, Victor?” Lord David asked coldly.Victor stuttered, “I-I… Don’t tell me you actually believe his lies. If you doubt me, take a look at these documents. Everything is right here. He’s a corporate criminal, and he’s swindled lots of startup companies and is trying to do the same thing with your family.”“Haven’t you wonder
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Store Policy
Left with no other choice, Liam shot one last gaze at Mia and then shook his head and walked away. It might not have been what he expected, but he had finally gotten her answer and knew where he stood with her.As he left the Stevens mansion, he quickly retrieved his phone and called Jack Gunter. He could not fathom how Victor had managed to get his hands on those forged documents, but he had crossed him one last time and now he had to show him who he truly was. If Victor was so obsessed with finding out his secrets and exposing him as a fraud, he was going to return the favor.Immediately the phone rang, Jack’s voice returned sharply on the other end, “Young Master, is everything alright?” He asked.Liam ignited his car and started driving, “No, it isn’t Jack. There’s a pest that I’ve been ignoring for a long time and it’s grown too confident. It’s time to put him into place.”Jack’s voice suddenly darkened, “What do you need me to do?” He asked sternly.Liam hesitated for a while, t
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Store manager, Bella
“Please leave the store, sir, I will not say it again,” Francine repeated with a stern glare.Liam paused, shifted his gaze toward her, and right then noticed the crowd that had formed. From the looks on their faces, he could tell that they all thought he was some kind of lowly peasant. Someone from the crowd blurted, “She told you to leave the store, sir. You can find clothes that better fit your stature at Benson’s thrifts. This store is meant for the high class, not common beggars like you.”A woman in red stilettos, trying on a fur coat slowly turned around, “Did you honestly think that we wouldn’t see what you’re trying to do?” She sneered.“People like you sicken me. You come in here with your cheap $100 knock-off outfits, pretending to be wealthy just so you can try on some of these high-end fashion wears and accessories, pretending to be rich for your social media pages.”“Why don’t you cut the act loser and leave before you embarrass yourself further.” A middle-aged man inte

Vendetta
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
The Leaked Documents
“In what way?” Lord David asked, his mind still reeling over everything Liam had just said.“You know? Someone she cannot be safe around. Someone whose family has a history of bloodshed and chaos. If she truly knew what kind of man I was, she’d never want to be with me.”At this time Lord David could not help but smirk. Liam stared at him curiously. Noticing his puzzled look, Lord David leaned forward, fixing his gaze directly at Liam, “I must say I am deeply troubled over everything I heard,” he paused, heaving a dejected sigh, “I guess I always thought that Shawn was this regular guy who didn’t have to deal with any of the things I faced, and in a way, I always envied that about him. I often wondered how life would be if I were him, and didn’t have to deal with any of the pressures and scrutiny I faced growing up.”As he spoke, his eyes sank in disappointment, “I was so immersed in myself and what was going on around me, I couldn’t even recognize his struggles.” David paused for a m
I don’t Want Her To See Me That Way
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
I'm the heir
After waiting patiently for a few moments, the gates finally swung open and the security guard ushered Lord David in. As the man walked into the building, his eyes widened in shock. The entire mansion was crawling with tons of security men and exotic cars. If Lord David didn’t already know Liam, he would have sworn this mansion belonged to one of the top families in the city. Shortly after he entered the building, Laura quickly approached him and when Lord David saw her, his eyes flashed in recognition, “You,” he paused, staring at her inquisitively, “Are you working with Liam?” He asked. Laura however did not answer his question. She flashed him a soft smile and gestured toward the front entrance of the building, “He’s waiting for you inside.”Lord David glanced around the mansion again and was filled with more confusion. He could tell that this building was worth at least a hundred million dollars. At this time, his mind recollected when Liam gave him that card. He had assured him
Facing The Truth
Lord David now had strong suspicions about Liam’s identity. No one, not even the Young family had the authority or influence to do what Liam just did. There was something about his best friend’s grandson that did not just come from courage. Although he was fairly certain that Liam was more than he put on, Lord David was determined to uncover the secret of his true identity. Without wasting any time, called his butler, gave him an address, and left the mansion. He knew exactly where to check for Liam. Although he’d been friends with Shawn for years, David had never bothered to visit Shawn at his home here in the city. He knew that if there was anywhere Liam would be through all of this, it would be at the Moran’s family house.The drive to Shawn’s home was filled with anticipation and curiosity. Lord David, although determined, did not know what he was going to do when he confirmed his suspicions. This whole thing had become more difficult for a man his age to keep in control. Realizi
Who should save the family
“What?!” Lord David exclaimed, reading the news headline again.The rest of the family quickly pulled out their phones and glanced at the screen. Yona was so shocked that her phone fell to the ground. She stood in utter shock, trying to process this.Every news channel carried the news, circulating Peter’s involvement in illegal activities, his ruthless business strategies which have forced a lot of small companies out of business, and ultimately his attempts to repeat the same thing with the the Steven’s company.Mia stood frozen in place. Somehow she suspected that Liam had something to do with this, and so decided to check the report for any clue. She scrolled towards the bottom of the page to check the journalist that wrote this and immediately she saw the name, her eyes widened in extreme shock.‘Chloe?’ She muttered inwardly, trying to wrap her head around this. She knew Chloe was determined to uncover Peter’s secrets and publish them for the world to see, but she hadn’t actuall
Family Meeting
“This is the main reason why these things are happening to this family. We are divided and struggling within ourselves when we should be working together for the best of the company and the family. And all this for what? Just so one of you can become the next head of the family?!” He paused, shifting a sharp gaze across the room.“I’m very disappointed in everyone in this room, and you can be rest assured that none of you are fit to lead this family.” Lord David added, “Do you think that I built this company, struggling with anyone for it?” He asked and without waiting for an answer, quickly added,“I labored, sweated, and endured so much so that you all can stand here today, but none of you have ever shown the same dedication towards making this company better and now thanks to you, I’ve lost everything I spent my entire life laboring for.”“Why are we standing around here when the person that we should be holding responsible is out there moving freely? We should call the cops right
She’s Perfect For It
“We are going to use the media to expose him,” Liam said with a mischievous smile. “This whole time, Peter has been the one using the media for his ambitions and stirring problems for us in the media. Since he wants to play that way, then I think we should give him a taste of his medicine,” he said and immediately shifted his gaze to Jack, “I want everything you have on Peter Nelson all over the media in the next hour.”Jack remained frozen the whole time, trying to process everything Liam said. Although he felt dreadful about stirring Peter up, he couldn’t refuse an order from Liam either. “I’ll talk to some journalist and get this going.” Jack replied, but Liam quickly cut him off, “No, no. I don’t think that is necessary. I already know the perfect person to use for this.” He said, his lips curving slowly,“Do you remember the journalist I asked you to look into?” Liam asked, staring directly at Jack.“Use her, “ he added before getting a response. “I think if we give Miss Chloe s
Flipping The Cards
After the call, Liam heaved a tired sigh and started walking towards the door. He felt tired and just wanted to finish dealing with all of this, but it seemed that as he finished with one problem, another one opened up.However, he knew he’d have to be ready for what he must do if the Tribunal chose not to support him. Although he knew their power still did not match his, they could pose an obstruction to him and make things harder for him.Suddenly, his phone buzzed. Liam thought it was Jack, but as he retrieved it, he saw a string of news flashes.Intrigued, he glanced at the screen and he froze instantly when he saw the notifications.It seemed that Carl had already informed Peter that he had been kicked out of the company. The Nelson group had just launched a hostile takeover of the Steven’s Group. Liam clenched his fist till his knuckles almost turned white. Peter had just called him out with this hostile takeover. At this time, Liam planned to show Peter Nelson just who he was
