The First Son's Revenge 54
MORNING AT THE CLIFFTON COMPANYThere was a man sitting in a cubicle in the marketing division. The desk in the cubicle was so small that it could only accommodate the computer and keyboard, and even the coffee mug had to be jostle with the mouse.In contrast to the cubicles which have minimal space, the appearance of the employees sitting in their chairs actually looks expensive and classy. The jacket draped over the back of the chair looked like it had been designed by a famous designer, and the watch around the employee's wrist was from a big brand.The employee's appearance seemed in sharp contrast to his workplace. The employee was none other than Liam Cliffton.Since the case about Liam cheating on the Kei Car project emerged to the public, Daniel Cliffton (head of the Cliffton company and Liam's own father) immediately demoted Liam's position.Liam, who previously held the prestigious position of manager, has now become a lowly staff member in the marketing division.

"I'm Reid Arison, sorry for disturbing your rest," Reid said politely while introducing himself. He didn't forget to stick out his hand. But instead of welcoming Reid's hand, Peterson snorted in a scornful voice. “This is the umpteenth time someone has come to this house to lie to me. Yesterday someone came claiming to be a real estate entrepreneur, but it turned out he was nothing more than a bandit who likes to rob other people's land. Then now another person comes who wants to fool me by claiming to be from the Arison family. Listen, young man. Your lies are really lame. I know there are no Arison members left besides Mr. Jacob," said Peterson at length. Reid frowned. Likewise with his personal assistant. Charles was certainly very surprised. Before the news of Reid's appointment as CEO, it was true that Mr. Jacob was the only remaining member of Arison. But now? Maybe Peterson missed the news? How could Peterson not recognize Reid when everyone out there knew who Reid was? Sinc

After hearing the story from Peterson, Reid and Charles leave. At first, Peterson offered to have dinner there first, especially because it was already dinner time and the food was ready, but Reid refused because he was in a hurry. In fact, the real answer is, Reid has absolutely no appetite at the moment. How could he eat well when rumors about his mother continued to spread widely out there and he still couldn't provide any clarification.Throughout the helicopter journey, Reid remained silent, even when he finally landed back at Arison's company.Actually, he could have landed at Arison's residence, there is also a runway for helicopters. But that would only arouse his grandfather's suspicion. Reid didn't want his grandfather to find out he had just flown to meet Arison's former butler.“I'm sorry, young master. This trip was in vain. We still don't have any evidence to clear Mrs. Claire Arison's name," said Charles Brown. He understood best how precious time was for the young mast

I have received a report that Liam has just been picked up at the Cliffton residence and now the legal process is continuing."Reid smiled with satisfaction at the answer from his personal assistant.According to his plan, he did not delay in making clarifications and revealing the identity of the perpetrator.Actually, from the start, Reid knew that the perpetrator was definitely Liam.

Abigail clenched her hands which felt damp with sweat. She glanced timidly at her surroundings.Some detainees are also receiving visits from their families or friends. Some of the prisoners had fierce faces and large bodies, a rough appearance that made it clear that they would end up in prison—in Abigail opinion. But Liam? Liam is very sweet and handsome, not suitable for being in a place of confinement like this. Liam shouldn't be here, Abigail shouldn't have to visit here.A few moments later Liam's figure finally appeared. His appearance looked terrible. Honestly, Abigail had to admit that her handsome son today didn't look as charming as usual.Liam was wearing faded prison clothes, and his face looked as if Liam hadn't been able to sleep for several nights.

She feels sad because her son has become a suspect and is now being detaine
