THE VENGEFUL HEIR Confusion at The Banquet
Author’s POVThe whole place went quiet as soon as Liam’s name was announced. Mia gasped, covering her mouth in shock, watching Liam slowly stand up and head to the stage.“There must be some mistake,” she uttered in denial.It was easier to believe that Liam had been lying this whole time and that there was some mistake somewhere than to believe that he was the divine doctor and that this entire event was to honor him.However, she was not alone in her thinking. Everyone watched silently, their faces tinged with disbelief and confusion as Liam took the stage.The more they all stared at Liam, the harder it was to accept that he was the divine doctor who cured Natalie. Liam looked too young to be such an excellent divine doctor. From Michael Young’s announcement, it was clear that he had exhausted all options of curing his daughter and this divine doctor was his last and only hope.Could it be true?Could Liam be the doctor who cured her?Meanwhile, Victor had remained frozen in his
THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Wrong One To Mess With
Author’s POVAfter Will’s efforts to defame Liam and Michael Young, hoping to stir up some of the elites in the group, thereby creating doubts in their minds about any present or future partnerships or business with the Young family, and as such get them to side with him, the tensed atmosphere had slowly died down, but Will was still basking in self-gratification, certain that he had stirred some doubts in the minds of the other elite families.However, at this time he suddenly noticed Mia in the crowd and was immediately smitten by her beauty.Gathering himself, he slowly approached her with a lewd smile, tapping her gently on the shoulder,“Pardon me, I couldn’t help seeing how beautiful you are. Would you mind joining me for a drink?” Will uttered.Mia took a glance at him and was immediately irritated. This was the same man who had just tried to defame Liam a few minutes ago, and now he was asking her for a drink. No way!Her brows creased into a frown as she shook her head, “I’m
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Will Strikes Back
Liam seemed even more confused over what Mia was talking about. However, he chose not to question. At this point, he wanted to get out of here, away from all the chaos and crowd. But just then, a loud cheer erupted from the crowd. “Thank you for saving President Young’s daughter.” One man said.“You must be very good at what you do for President Young to trust you with her daughter’s life.” Another man toasted.“Didn’t you hear? He’s just a puppet. He’s not the divine healer. He’s way too young to have the experience it takes. He’s just a fraud.” Another person interjected with a sneer.“I heard one needs to attend medical and healing school for at least twenty-five years to have this skill level. He’s definitely not the one that cured President Young’s daughter.” A middle-aged woman with blonde hair and heavy makeup interjected coldly.Liam just stood quietly, refusing to acknowledge or refute their claims. It made no difference if anyone believed him or not to be the healer. There
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Will's Proposal
Victor panicked when he realized who Will was. He feared he had just dug his grave with his own hands. He could not imagine what would happen if he could not fix this situation with Will.He stepped forward cautiously, feet dragging on the ground, and said politely with an ingratiating smile, “We don’t have to do this Mr. Salerno. My father has a good relationship with your family. Let’s not let a little misunderstanding destroy everything we’ve built together.”His eyes flashed with panic as he stared at Will, hoping that his words would somehow convince the man to back away.However, Will was not going to make it any easier for him. He clenched his fists and took a step forward, staring directly at Victor, “You think that it matters if our families are on good terms or not?” He sneered.“We are the largest and most powerful mafia family in the city, Victor. We are feared by the most elite families in this city. Compared to them, your family is like ants. You’re nothing to us, and yo
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Liam's Attack
As soon as those words fell, Mia’s eyes widened in shock. If she had any idea that the man was going to ask her that, she never would have offered to help. She shifted her gaze to Victor, hoping he’d be able to help her out of this situation, but Victor remained quiet, looking straight ahead.At this point, Mia was in great despair as she finally realized that even her family meant nothing to the Salerno’s.With that realization, she was filled with horror, not sure what was going to happen now. She knew Will wouldn’t take no for an answer, not this time around.When Will saw her hesitancy, he could already tell what her response was going to be, so he slowly turned around, staring triumphantly at Victor who shot his gaze away the whole time.“Looks like you won’t be coming to her rescue this time Victor, I wonder why that is,” Will said and chuckled mockingly as Victor stood helpless.He then turned towards Mia and snapped his fingers, ordering his men, “Take her, she’s coming with
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Dead Man Walking
Liam turned slowly, facing Will. If only the pompous bastard knew who he truly was, he would know that his family’s influence and power were not even close to a fraction of the power he held.To him, the Salerno family were mere street thugs whom he could easily control.With this, he walked towards Will who kept sneering and pouring threats at him and without any hesitation, kicked him several times, including a kick to his crotch, tired of hearing the man’s irritating voice.Will screamed in pain, cupping his crotch, and immediately went quiet.Everyone who saw this froze in fear, terrified of the consequences of Liam’s actions. The mad acted like he was either mad or had a death wish. “Won’t you divorce him now?!” Victor’s voice echoed, “He’s clearly gone mad! And he’s going to take you and your family down with him except you end this now.” He added, trying to convince Mia, who seemed even more confused.“I don’t think it’s in your place to worry about what happens to my wife or
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Negotiation
Mia felt a heavy downcast as she returned home from the Banquet. She had hoped to secure an alliance with the Young family but ended up damning her family to the Salernos wrath.Immediately she walked through the door of the living room, Melissa snapped, marching furiously towards her,“What on earth came over you and made you offend the Salerno family?!” Melissa snarled, her hands resting on her hips as she demanded an explanation.Mia’s eyes widened in shock as she stuttered. It had barely been thirty minutes since the incident happened. How did the news reach her family already?Suddenly her eyes narrowed as she spotted Yona in the background, and even without asking, knew she somehow had something to do with it.“What are we going to do now? Of all people to cross, you offended Manu Salerno. We’re all dead. What have you done Mia?” Melissa paced around frantically, occasionally darting her gaze towards Mia, who stood silently, not sure what to say or do at this time.Her only hope
THE VENGEFUL HEIR A Stand-Off
Mia instantly sobered up the moment she heard Manu’s words. She froze in fear, afraid to move, and gulped heavily.‘He wants me to do what?!’ The words replayed in her head, terrifying her even more.But just then, Manu leaned away, turned around, and stood beside her.His expression suddenly darkened, “Since you and Liam decided to my family’s lineage by causing my boy to become infertile, you’re going to sleep with everyone in my gang. That’s going to be your punishment Miss Stevens, and it’s the only way we can be even. But as for your friend, there’s no negotiating what I’ll do to him. He’s a dead man to me.”At that time, Mia slowly realized that coming here alone was a mistake. She hoped that Manu would be civil and take the money, but now she could see just how wrong she was.However, she tried to maintain her composure, suddenly realizing the danger she was in, and knew she had to leave in a coordinated way. She picked up her phone and pressed it to her ear, pretending to be o

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
Drawing Sides
Melissa was shocked when Liam defended her. After everything that she had done to him, he was the last person she thought would come to her rescue. Liam shot her a knowing look and walked in between her and Lord David, “You know what I’m saying is right Sir, we can’t focus on what needs to be done about Carl, if you’re thinking of what your daughter almost did.” Lord David stood quietly, reflecting on Liam’s words. After a while, he heaved a deep sigh and turned towards Melissa, “He’s right, but I’m very disappointed in you Melissa. You’re supposed to know better than that.” Lord David scolded.“How will the rest of the family react to this and more importantly, what do we do about Carl? He’s behaving like an outlaw and we can’t allow such wildness in our family amid all the internet bashing we’re going through,” he paused, drawing a deep breath, “He can’t work at the company anymore. He’s become a liability and threat to this family and I need everyone to see the gravity of his acti
To Melissa's Rescue
The crowd gasped again when Carl fell flat on the floor. They were so stunned at Liam’s quick maneuver and strength. With just one strike, he knocked Carl out like he was a child.They shifted back unconsciously, watching Liam with fear and apprehension. Liam could see the dreadful looks on their faces, and even Lord David was stunned. Although what he did was not so incredible, he knew that it didn’t look easy. He had just gotten fed up with Carl's nuisances and decided to put him out cold, at least for a few minutes. “I’m sorry about that, everyone. This is a work environment, but it seemed Carl had forgotten that as well.” He said, and just then some security officers that Lord David had called arrived, quickly approaching Carl. They jacked him up and started dragging him towards the exit of the room, Carl regained his consciousness just then and slowly blinked open his eyes to see himself being dragged out.He started resisting, kicking, and trying to break free of the man’s grip
Fired
“I’ve made up my on what to do,” he said and shifted his attention back to the crowd. “First I want to sincerely apologize to everyone here. I can’t help thinking some of this is my fault. I’m the one who brought Carl into this family and company. If it wasn’t for me, he wouldn’t be here and the damages he’s caused us wouldn’t have happened. For that, I’ll take full responsibility for all the losses incurred by everyone on this board.” Hearing this, Liam stepped forward, trying to interrupt him,“Sir, are you sure about…” he started to speak, but Lord David interrupted him, stopping him mid-sentence.“I know that even though we are a family here, we all still have our own individual families and a member of mine has disrupted things in yours,” he paused, shifting his gaze to Carl. Carl held his gaze down, ashamed to look at Lord Steven now.“That is why I’m going to pay off all personal debts incurred by what my in-law has done, and in return, I ask that none of you should take up a
