THE VENGEFUL HEIR Liam Wins
Author’s POVAfter a long ride to the banquet address, filled with tension, the car finally came to a halt in front of the grand estate. Mia stepped out, her heels clicking against the cobblestone driveway. Her hands trembled as she smoothed her dress, her heart still racing.At first, she was not certain this was the right address for the event, but as she turned around, she noticed luxurious cars pulling in, spilling out men in tailored suits and women in shimmering gowns. Yona and Carl sat in the backseat of the car with sour expressions, “This is a waste of time,” Carl grumbled. “He probably got the address off the internet. What’s the plan, Liam? Beg your way in?”Yona scoffed. “Exactly. There’s no way someone like him can get into a place like this.”Despite arriving at the banquet, Mia’s nerves were still wrecking. This was only half the challenge. They still had to get in, or else they’d have to kneel and apologize to her bratty sister, and judging from the league of people
THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Hostess
Author’s POVYona and Luca were still frozen in shock with a disheartened look.Meryl Shaw, the hostess of the party shifted a cold look at them. Without anyone mentioning she could tell that they were trying to cause problems for Liam.Turning towards Liam, she asked, “Mr. Maron, is everything alright here?”Liam smirked coldly and shook his head, “No, Luca and Yona were just about to honor our challenge and kneel, isn’t that right?” He said, flashing them a smug grin.Luca trembled and stammered in his reply, convinced that this was just a strange coincidence, “I– this– I believe there’s some misunderstanding here.”“Sir, you heard him. Kneel.” Meryl interjected, not bothered to hear what Luca had to say.Luca and Yona’s faces turned pale, but almost immediately, they became enraged, “Who the hell do you think you’re talking to?” Luca snarled, glaring at her.“I’m an esteemed employee of this company, and have every right to be here, and you– you’re what? Just some mid-level nobody?
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Divine Doctor
Author’s POVVictor seemed shocked to see Mia here, but he tried to conceal it. After his failed attempt earlier, he couldn’t fathom that she had gained entry another way, but then his gaze shifted to Liam standing a few feet behind her and anger surged within him.“How are you here?” Mia blurted without thinking it over. However, Victor seemed unbothered as he shifted his expression back to Mia.“I told you I’d get us in.” He replied with a smile.“Us?” Mia asked, her brows arching in confusion.Victor smiled and walked forward, leaning towards Mia’s ear, “How do you think you got in, Mia? I spoke with Mr. Young and convinced him to grant your family the opportunity to attend the banquet.” Victor knew that Mia was mostly interested in this banquet because of the opportunity it offered for her family to do business with the Youngs, and knew by mentioning it, she would feel smitten by his influence. However, Mia was not convinced by his bold claims. If she hadn’t witnessed what happe
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Right at that moment, a mocking laughter burst in the crowd, followed by slow sarcastic clapping, “Well well well, what do we have here?” Lydia said, approaching Yona with slow measured steps.“I knew something wasn’t adding up when you outbid me.”She stopped in front of Yona, staring at her with a condescending smirk, “What’s the matter, Lydia? Can't you pay for your item?”“I should have known you were just a fraud,” Lydia added, shaking her head disdainfully.“Even after all these years, you are still pretending to be someone you’re not. Did you think that you could manipulate your way out of this? That you could lie to everybody here just to seem big? You’re nothing, Yona Stevens, you’ve always been nothing except a cheap, pretentious, liar. People like you disgust me, and now you’re going to get exactly what you deserve.”After saying that, Lydia turned to the auctioneer, “Do not waste any more time with this pretender. I know her, and I know she can’t pay for that necklace. So

“$20 million!” Yona yelled firmly.The crowd gasped in extreme shock, and Lydia’s face flashed with horror. She shot Yona a perplexed look. This had just escalated to a level she could no longer compete in, and even when she did not want to lose, bidding anything more than $20 million would just be pure foolishness.Mia’s eyes widened in horror when she heard Yona’s bid. She hung her head in, pinching the bridge of her nose in frustration.Yona flashed Lydia a cold sneer, then grinned proudly. She could tell by Lydia’s flushed look that she could not bid anything higher, and so leaned back in her seat proudly.The announcer remained quiet, stunned by Yona’s bid. After a few seconds, he cleared his throat and began, “Okay, we have $20 million. Do we have any other bid?” He asked and paused, scanning his eyes around the room.Everyone remained planted in their seat, not daring to make any other bid.Seeing the crowd’s response, the auctioneer began again, “$20 million, going one, twice…
