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
THE VENGEFUL HEIR What Happened In Campus
Bella finally shifted her attention towards Liam and a faint smile appeared on her face, “Nice to see you again, Class President.” She said warmly.Liam smiled and looked around the store, “I can’t believe that you manage all of this. You’ve certainly become quite the powerful influence and success, Bella.” Liam said.“Thank you for helping me out with that pesky girl.”Bella smiled and then her brows slowly twisted, furrowing deeply in anger. Suddenly she blurted in a loud menacing laugh, “Oh don’t take credit, Liam. It wasn’t for you.” Liam’s face twisted in confusion, wondering what she was talking about.“You thought I fired her for you?” She chuckled in disbelief, “Why would you ever think that after what you did to me?”“I only fired that brat because I found out that she was stealing from the store and giving her boyfriend insane discounts. Don’t flatter yourself, Liam, this had nothing to do with you.” Bella said, glaring at Liam. She started walking around Liam, scanning hi

Your Move, Peter
Peter shook his head and sighed, “I must say I’m a little disappointed by your answer Liam. I was really looking forward to working with you. It would have made everything much easier. We could have had the world, but I can’t force you to join me,” he paused, and his expression suddenly darkened as he stared at Liam with bottled rage, “You do understand that from now on, if you get in my way, I am going to fight you with everything I have, don’t you?”Liam ignored his threat, creasing his face in annoyance, “Do not make me ask again. Leave the Stevens alone.”Peter could no longer contain Liam’s arrogance. Now that Liam had rejected his offer, there was no need to play pretend anymore. “I’ll suggest you look around and remember where you are Mr. Moran,” Peter slammed his hands on the table and stood up, his eyes sharp and intimidating,“You are in no place to make demands. In case you have forgotten, this is my company!” He snarled.“I can have my men in here before you can leave thi
Silent Warning
Liam remained quiet for a while. He shot a side glance at Jack. This was it. This was the moment that will determine everything. If Peter had the slightest clue that he was the heir of the Moran family, he would come at Liam with everything he got, but he also knew that he could not lie about Peter’s suspicions.With that flowing through his mind, he glanced at his watch and then heaved a deep sigh, hunkering into his seat, “You’re right Peter, I am a descendant of the Moran family, but rest assured I’m not here to drag control and influence in this city with you.”Peter interjected sharply, “Drag control?” He chuckled.“Do you think that is what this is about?” He paused, chuckling again.Liam and Jack exchanged puzzled looks with each other and seeing this, Peter calmly interjected, “I don’t want to fight you, Liam. On the contrary, I want to work with you.”Liam’s eyes widened with surprise, “Work with me?” He repeated, trying to ensure he had heard him clearly.Peter heaved a deep
Chrysanthemum Heist
Liam watched in horror as Peter spoke freely about the horrors he had committed with no regard for the people whose lives he had ruined just to keep himself out of fire.“Tell me Peter, do the lives of these people whom you’ve trampled upon and ruined affect you? Do you ever develop a conscience over the things you’ve done?”Peter shot an amused gaze at Jack. For a moment, he believed Liam was trying to be humorous, but when he saw the stern look on Jack’s face, his smile slowly faded away, “Oh you’re serious,” He coughed.Peter folded his arms across his chest and his face turned sinister, “To be a frontier for a new revolution, some tough calls have to be made,” he paused, and continued, “The lives of these people… they don’t matter. If situations demand it, they’re just instruments for us to achieve a greater cause. In order for the world to advance, someone needs to wake up and make the tough decisions and damn all consequences.” Liam and Jack stared at him, horrified by the word
10a.m With The Devil
Liam and Jack arrived at the Nelson company shortly after, and without wasting any time, Liam stormed towards the front desk,“I need to see your President.” He demanded coldly.The receptionist glanced at him and then smiled politely, sensing trouble, “I’m sorry sir, but I’ll have to confirm your appointment with Mr. Nelson first before you can proceed.”“There’s no need for that. He’s already expecting me, so just give me his office number and I’ll be on my way.” Liam replied hastily.At this time, the receptionist’s brows creased into a frown, “I’m sorry sir, that’s not how it works here. Now please exercise a little patience and wait by the lounge. I’ll quickly check in with Mr. Nelson, and once he gives the permission, you can go ahead and meet with him.” She said authoritatively.Liam remained frozen and then smiled. It wasn’t like Peter Nelson to hide. If he’d done all these, requesting Mia to represent her family in the meeting, then certainly he was expecting him to show up.
Forced Alliances
Laura hesitated for a moment. Jack’s response was not the one she was looking forward to. “Umm…” she started weakly, “There’s something else I forgot to mention.”“Yes?” Jack replied sternly.“They want Mia to represent them.” As soon as Jack heard Mia’s name, he hesitated for a moment. He knew Liam would be concerned if he found out Mia was directly involved in this. He arched his brows in confusion, pressed the microphone with his finger, and turned towards Liam, “Young Master, there’s a bit of a problem.”Liam shifted his gaze sharply at him, “I thought I told you to handle everything, Jack,” he said tiredly, “What is it?”Jack hesitated for a moment, not sure how to say this, “Um…”“Spit it out, Jack.” Liam cut in hastily.“Peter has asked Mia to represent her family in the meeting. He’s on to you.” Jack’s words took Liam by surprise. He slowly raised his hand to his cheek, contemplating the gravity of this new development.With Mia in the frontline, he might not be able to im
The Nelson Invitation
“Umm, I was just…”“Snooping around?” Laura interjected, narrowing her eyes suspiciously.“No,” Mia quickly replied, “I-I was just…” she paused, desperately trying to find an excuse, anything to say and get herself out of this difficult spot right now. Laura walked closer to her, her eyes glued to Mia’s perplexed face, and then stopped in front of her.“I could tell something was off downstairs,” she started, making Mia more confused, and then walked around her, observing her closely. “At first, I thought you were feeling threatened because I guess Liam never mentioned me, and maybe you thought something was going on between us, but then I saw that wasn’t it.”“You were not quite as threatened by me as you were more curious about something.”“So, I asked myself, what could Mia Stevens probably be trying to find? So when I saw you through the hallway monitors sneaking into Liam’s room, I figured it had something to do with him.”Mia stood wordlessly, staring at Laura with a stern gaz
Caught Snooping
“When Liam found me at the mansion, he saved me, and since then I’d taken over Manu’s enterprise and worked with Liam to clean up the damages and hurt my father brought to this city.” Laura shared, and then paused, staring directly at Mia’s face, “So, if you’re still wondering whether I can keep your family safe. You can be rest assured, I command the entire Salerno family power now and I’m personally motivated to bring Peter Nelson to his doom.”Upon hearing this, Mia remained silent for a while, not sure what to say. The more she heard about Liam, the more she was convinced there was more to him. “But if you’re Manu’s daughter, then how come we never heard about you?” Yona interjected, staring at Laura with suspicion. “That’s enough questions Yona.” Lord David interjected, silencing her.He walked towards Laura with slow measured steps and stopped in front of her, staring at her intently, “What do you need Ms Belucci?”Laura smiled and clapped her hands, “Alright, I’m going to nee
Laura's Reveal
When Liam clicked on the screen, there was nothing. No trace of any implicating information or anything that spoke of his illegal dealings or involvement in crime. Liam could not believe it - a blank script. Right at that moment, his phone rang, breaking him out of his trance. Glancing at the screen, Liam saw it was Jack and answered, “I’m at the facility sir, where would I meet you?”Liam did not answer immediately. Instead, he heaved a deep sigh and said, “Don’t bother.”“Huh?” Jack asked, confused.“I’ve found the neural link, Jack. There’s records of everyone in this city and everything they’ve ever been involved with.” He said.Jack waited patiently, anxious to hear what else the man had to say, “There’s nothing here about Peter. It’s like he has a perfectly clean record.”“What? How can that be? We all know everything that bastard’s done. How can his record be clean?”“I don’t know,” Liam answered dejectedly, stared across the records once more, and sighed heavily. “I’m comin
The Neural link
Shortly after Liam ended the call, he texted Luara the address of the Stevens family with directions on what to do when she got there. Right now, he was more focused on finding the network facility. With everything happening, Liam felt more relieved. Peter would be distracted by all of this, he doubted the man would have the time to plan an ambush.After a short drive, he finally arrived at the location.From the gate, one could not see into the facility or even know if it’s existence. The building looked like a regular office building that had been abandoned with no visible guards or security details anywhere. Confused, Liam drove his car into the facility and again picked up his phone to call Jack.Jack’s phone rang for a few moments and then he answered, “Sorry for keeping you waiting Young Master. I’ve just finished talking to Laura about what to do about the Stevens case and will be there shortly.”“Alright, but that’s not why I called Jack,” Liam replied and stared straight ah
