As Keenan announced that he no longer wanted the money, the Steven family started rejoicing and praising Victor who shamelessly accepted despite not knowing what was happening.

Liam sneered, shaking his head in disbelief. This time he didn’t bother to convince them that he was the one that helped them.

However, the joyous atmosphere quickly faded as Lord David announced, “We’ll pay it back.”

The celebration instantly stopped as those words fell and everyone shifted their gaze to him, frozen with shock and confusion.

“We are an upright and esteemed family, if we owe anybody money, we are going to pay it back.” He added, glanced at Carl with a softer gaze.

Even when he still condemned Carl for acting so erratically without letting anyone in the family know, he could not accept that he got away with this without having to pay.

    Lord David remained quiet for a while, a deep frown settling on his fist. Peter had tried to remain casual, but he could still sense the threatening tone in the man’s voice and so calmly asked, “Did anyone in my family do anything to offend you, Mr Nelson?”Peter smirked and picked a flower from the garden, “That’s the thing about families isn’t it? They can be compared to this flower,” he started, plucking the petals off, “If one of these is infected, then the entire flower can become rotten, left to rot on the ground.” Lord David became more confused as he spoke.

    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.

She must be fabricating everything to protect her reputation!”“Grandpa, we cannot let someone with such loose morals lead the Stevens family! She’ll ruin everything!”Yona was panicking. She had set up what she thought was the perfect trap, but now everything was spiraling out of control.David studied Liam’s face. As soon as he entered the room, something about him looked familiar. Then it clicked—Liam was the grandson of his old friend.“I’m sure I haven’t made a mistake,” David said calmly. “Liam, your grandfather is...?”Liam answered politely, “Grandpa David, my grandfather is Shawn Moran, the current head of the Moran family.”David smiled in satisfaction. “Good!

He believed he’d taken care of this Salerno business when he put Luara in charge of their empire and affairs, so why were these men disrupting the atmosphere and of their dinner?He reached his hand into his pocket to retrieve his phone and call Laura. With Jack’s help, by now she should have become the master of that family, and be able to handle all their affairs easily.However, just before he could, Lord’s David interrupted,“Why are you here?” He asked, still trying to keep a bold demeanor.Keenan smirked and snapped his fingers.

Laura stepped closer to Manu’s body, searched his pockets for the phone, and brought it out. “Answer it,” Liam said.Hesitantly, Laura raised the phone to her ear, her hand trembling, and answered,“Manu, it’s Peter Carpi. I know we agreed to meet much later, but I’m running out of time and need that $5 million loan. The market is even more cruel than I anticipated.”Immediately, Luara placed the call on hold, unsure of what to say, and turned towards Liam, “It’s Peter Carpi.”As soon as Liam heard the name, his eyes narrowed in curiosity. He stepped closer to her with a stern expression causing Laura to become uncomfortable,“What does he want?”“$5 million,” Laura answered.Liam’s eyes

    Laura’s eyes widened in shock when Liam spoke. How was she going to lead an entire gang and handle the affairs of the grand estate? She wondered, staring at Liam wordlessly. She had only wanted to get revenge for herself and her mother and never imagined she’d be running the empire of the man who wrecked her life.Suddenly, at that point, something else occurred to her. Who was this man, and how could he just appoint her to run Manu’s gang and empire?“Who are you?” She asked with curiosity. However, Liam ignored her and reached into his pocket, retrieved the personal phone he used to communicate with Jack, and handed it to her, “Call this number. He’ll handle everything for you.”“You’re going to have to be careful Laura, Manu might be dead, but you’re still at much risk.”Laura’s face twisted with worry, “What do you mean?” She asked dreadfully.Liam heaved a deep sigh, hesitating for a while. He did not know whether involving the girl in any of this seemed right, however, the mo
