THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Meeting Ambush
Jack remained quiet for a while, trying to make sense of his vague response. He could tell this was a sore topic for Liam, and asking more questions would only aggravate him more, but he could not ignore his growing curiosity and asked, “And who is this reporter, sir?” Liam paused again, staring straight ahead as Chloe’s words flashed across his mind. His eyes narrowed, and then he said, “Chloe. Her name is Chloe.” Without waiting for a response, Liam quickly ended the call. Shortly after he ended the call, he arrived at the Stevens company and walked towards the board room. He entered the elevator and arrived at the tenth floor, strolling toward the boardroom. Just then, he saw Carl and Melissa standing outside the building with some of the board members, and a wry smile appeared on his face. He knew they were probably going over how they would enact their plans today. Liam slowly approached them, and when they saw him, their eyes flashed with surprise,“Liam!” Melissa said, hurrie
THE VENGEFUL HEIR War Against Liam
Liam’s lips curled in a wry smirk as soon as those words fell. It seemed the moment was finally here. He reached into his pocket, retrieved his phone, and texted Lord Duncan.Carl stood up and handed everyone in the room a stack of files. When he got to Liam, his eyes narrowed in disdain as he dropped the file in front of him.Returning to his seat, Carl stood quietly for some moment,“What’s this, Carl?” Duncan pretentiously asked.A wry smirk appeared on Carl’s face, “Before you all go through the terror within those files, I want you all to understand that what you are about to see is clear evidence of why, as a Group, we have to be more selective and keep a close eye on the people in this company. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m appalled that this was happening right under our noses, yet we couldn’t see it.”The board members exchanged confused gazes at each other, but at the distant end of the table, Liam sat unfazed, smiling coyly.“What is going on, Carl? Is there a point you’re tryi
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Tables Turned
Liam was slowly losing his patience. He knew Carl was trying so hard to discredit him in every way, and so he heaved a sigh and said, “Are you ever going to make your point, Carl?”His words only aggravated Carl more. He narrowed his eyes in anger and, without hesitation, said, “There he is, Liam Moran. The man who has been the instrument of all our problems lately.”Liam smirked mischievously when Carl finally said this. The board members, however, did not take this statement with ease. Even though none of them knew Liam personally, they could not immediately jump on Carl’s wagon and accuse Liam of these crimes without clear evidence.“What makes you say this, Carl? How sure are you that Mr Moran is doing all these things? It doesn’t make any sense; he’s a part of this Group; what can he possibly gain by betraying us this way?” Duncan asked. This was his cue, and he’d laid the groundwork for Carl to expose him finally.Melissa, who had been sitting quietly the whole time, finally sp
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Truth Is Out
“What is this, Liam? What are you trying to do?” Carl asked, narrowing his eyes at him. Liam ignored his question and shifted his attention to the crowd, “You’re all probably wondering what this is and why I’m not saying anything about Carl’s accusations,” he paused, shifting his gaze toward Melissa, “I see he’s fabricated lies about me again.”“Lies?” Thompson interjected with annoyance.“Yes, Mr Thompson, they’re all lies,” Liam replied sharply, “But I’m not going to indulge in Carl’s baseless accusations. I can show you the truth more than I can tell.” Liam said and shifted his gaze towards Carl, “I hope you don’t mind, but I came with some files of my own, too.” “You see, I knew this was not just an ordinary meeting. Carl has searched for ways to get me thrown out of the family and Group for a long time. By presenting this fake evidence, I guess he thought he could convince you all to support his vendetta against me and do what he always wanted to do. Still, since we’re talking a
THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Video
Everyone in the room, including Carl froze in utter shock. Although Liam’s accusations did not hit the nail on the head either, these pictures had given them much to think about. Could it be true? Could Carl really be working with Peter Nelson? A deep silence fell in the hall and suddenly Carl snapped, “Come on guys. You don’t actually believe this loser, do you? Don’t you see what is happening here? He knows he’s been caught, so he’s trying to divide us with this pathetic, desperate lie.” He shifted his eyes across the perplexed looks in the room, trying desperately to convince them. Carl knew that if he was exposed here today, not only would everything backfire and he’d lose his place in the company and family, Peter Nelson would retaliate, and his life as he knew it would be over. The thought horrified him so much, he couldn’t think straight. In a desperate attempt to diffuse this situation, he shifted his gaze to Melissa, “Maybe if you heard it from someone else, you would belie
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Carl and Peter’s Deal
Carl’s eyes widened in extreme shock upon hearing those words. Until now, he knew he was safe and none of Liam’s accusations would hold up as long as there was no way to tell what his conversations with Peter were really about. But if Liam had gotten their conversations on record as well, there would be no narrative he could spin on their conversation.Liam shifted his gaze to him at that time, his eyes filled with malice and a sinister smirk, “What’s the matter Carl, you are sweating up a storm there. Do you not want me to play the audio?” Carl opened his mouth to talk, but the words formed a lump in his throat and he knew that if he tried to stop Liam now, it would only be proving to the board that he was trying to hide something.Liam hesitated for a moment, waiting for his response, but seeing that he was tongue-tied, he played the video.“So do you think you can do it? Liam has become someone of interest to me, and I feel he’s going to be a problem for me if I don’t do something
THE VENGEFUL HEIR 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
THE VENGEFUL HEIR 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

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
