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

    “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

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?

    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.

    Springfield City.In a small motel room, Mia sat naked, covering herself with a blanket. Her face was ice-cold.“You had a great time last night, didn’t you?”Her voice was cold, making Liam uncomfortable.Liam lay casually on the bed and raised an eyebrow. “Yeah. Didn’t you enjoy it too?”Tears welled up in Mia’s eyes. She raised her hand and slapped Liam hard across the face.“How dare you say that? I’m calling the police and having you arrested!”Liam rubbed his face, looking confused.“Miss, get your facts straight. You were the one who dragged me to this room last night! Don’t you remember what happened? You were drugged. I helped you, and now you’re blaming me?”Mia froze. Her head throbbed as she tried to recall the events of the previous night.She had been drinking at a bar when, suddenly, a strange heat swept through her body. A few sleazy-looking men started approaching her.She wanted to resist, but her body was weak and powerless.At that moment, a handsome man appeared.

    Liam was stunned. He hadn’t expected Mia to say that.But in the tense moment, he managed to stay calm and asked, “If I’m supposed to pretend to be your boyfriend, shouldn’t you at least tell me your name first?”Mia frowned slightly but quickly responded, “I’m Mia Stevens, CEO of the Stevens Corporation, 21 years old, and single. Just let me handle everything, and don’t talk too much, alright?”Mia Stevens?Liam was stunned, because the woman in front of him was exactly the fiancee of him!He hadn’t expected the world to be so full of coincidences!Think of this, Liam smiled. Was it the destiny?Seeing Liam’s amused expression, Mia grew irritated. She glared at him. “What’s so funny? Hurry up and tell me your name, or we’ll be exposed in no time!”Liam, now completely relaxed, smiled and said, “I’m Liam. Liam Moran. I don’t think you need to worry too much. After all, there’s nothing scandalous about sharing a bed with your fiancé, right?”Mia scoffed, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

    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

    “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
