The Ingenious Liam Price 26: Donating His Blood
"Beatrice got into a fatal accident and lost a lot of blood, she's somewhere between life and death," Gibson broke this news to Liam.And panic immediately punched out of Liam's lungs as hair raised in his pores. "She needs a blood transfusion or she won't make it," they were in the waiting area in the hospital."Charlotte's blood did not match, nor did Arthur's. Georgie is barely nine so he's out of the picture. A few persons have been brought and it wasn't compatible. She has only a few hours left for survival."Liam fought to control his breath. Hearing Gibson tell him this weakened every part of his body, that he couldn't even move or speak.Why? Because it made him remember Emily. How he couldn't save her because he had no money.How could Beatrice of all people have an accident? Their father was buried three days ago, he was shot two days ago and now Beatrice, the only girl, was having a near-death experience?"Where is she?" Liam's voice was cranky."Private ward 027," Gibson
The Ingenious Liam Price 27: Good Deeds
The following day, Liam felt human again, after taking an energy booster to maintain his stance. He wanted to check out of the hospital, but at first, he went to see Beatrice to know how she was fairing.Charlotte was by her side as expected but Liam didn't care. He went into her ward to check up on her. She was still unconscious though. But Doctor Cyrus had told him she would get better."Why did you do it?" Charlotte grudgingly asked Liam."Is that even a question to ask? Beatrice is my sister and father would've wanted me to be her blood donor," even though Liam was repulsed by her, he still managed to keep his tone down because he didn't want to disturb his step-sister."So you admit you saved her life because you felt a bit remorseful after manipulating the will to be in your favor?" Charlotte rose to look him in the eye."Why do you have to twist everything I say?" Liam could feel his temper rising."Because you're a bastard. And you're here to take away everything my husband lef
The Ingenious Liam Price 28: Ted's Fight Club
Dressed as Clumsy Thomas once more, Liam found his way into Ted Price's underground fight club. At first, he was a bit unsure of himself since he had never been there, but his eagerness to explore the dangerous world of Ted Price made him refuse to turn around and head back in the same direction he came from.It was that same evening. Sinclair had given him the fight club's location which was disguised with a pizza parlor. There was a tiny dark hallway that led to two doors. Liam took the first and was redirected outside but when he returned and took the one on his left, a rusty lift took him 30 feet down. And then, he heard cheers from a large number of people before he could even see them. Liam met two bouncers at the entrance, he handed them his $50 bill and then he was checked with a device to detect if he had any knife or firearm, or something suspicious to leak their hidden fight club. When they found none, they let him pass.Liam gulped upon seeing the crowd chanting to suppor
The Ingenious Liam Price 29: Showing His Face

There was one time Mr. Brewer went on a business trip with the kids away, Mrs. Brewer had a fish bone stuck in her throat, something which almost led to her death. But it was Liam who abandoned his gardening shears and took her to the hospital. It was quite a long distance but he did it in under ten minutes.The guards and other workers were too chicken to take her to the hospital because they were afraid she would die in the car. Liam knew how to ride cars, first, it was through video games as a teen. He would visit the game hall and pay money to play.And then the zeal heightened to a different level, he would sometimes pick up groceries in Mrs. Brewer's car. He was always fast because of the way he was with the car.So when Ted's bouncers pulled Liam to the front of the cars, his bad mood dropped instantly. "You'd be considered the winner if you beat me in this race,"
The Ingenious Liam Price 30: His Cousin's Fiancee
Stevie-Lou felt a bit out of place as she walked into the Grand Five-Star Hotels. People were clad in tuxes and dresses, unlike her who was wearing her usual tomboy clothing. She shoved the discomfort out of her mind because she was there for her job.After overhearing the announcement of Avery Dupree's fundraising Event, she stole an invitation card, assuming she'd be granted access upon her arrival. Because the event was strictly for people around Avery's wealthy circle.Stevie-Lou's target was one Bryce Canon, who was rumored to be a Con Artist but no evidence was yet provided. She wanted to have a one-on-one conversation with him because he was seen around her colleague who got murdered the following day."Sorry, miss. I can't let you in," the male usher shook his head at Stevie-Lou when she handed him her invitation card."But this is it," she frowned at him."You came to the right place at the wrong time," The usher rolled his eyes in their sockets because a queue was right beh
The Ingenious Liam Price 31: An Epic Fundraising Event
The fundraising event began with a charity auction where items were advertised and sold off to the highest bidder, so the accumulated money could be used to build homes and provide food for the needy."This mid-20th century Scandinavian sculpture costs $300,000," the auctioneer announced through his mic with his finger pointing at the golden brown sculpture that had a stage light reflecting on it."I'd pay $310,000," "$320,000.""$350,000!""$380,000!"Both men and women were at it, trying to see who would secure the Scandinavian sculpture at last."$800,000," Liam held up his bidder number, and silence filled everywhere. He was seated in the last row of seats with his butler beside him.Avery's lips curved upward into a smirk at this and she shifted her gaze to the auctioneer."The Scandinavian sculpture is going to our highest bidder, Liam..""I'd pay $900,000," Ted spoke up, interrupting the auctioneer before he could call Liam's last name. And heads turned in his direction. Incl
The Ingenious Liam Price 32: Bad News For Liam
The fundraising event ended as a success and Avery was commended for a job well done. Liam was the highest bidder out of it all. Lady with an Ermine was neatly packaged and handed to him.Liam was outside with his clique when he overheard Bryce Canon making a call with his eyes fixed on Stevie-Lou who was now wearing her boots, with her hand holding her heels."We should go," Avery made to place her hand on Liam's when he shifted and walked right ahead of her. Liam met up with Stevie-Lou once more."You're here again," she was completely clueless of what was going on."Let me take you home," Liam offered. Everything about her wasn't his business because she was his cousin's fiancee but her life was in danger."I walked down here all by myself, what makes you think I cannot return that way?" Stevie persisted with this question."This is the last day you'd see me around you," Liam said, meaning every word. She was to be Ted's wife anyway. He wouldn't disguise himself as Thomas to meet
The Ingenious Liam Price 33: Beijing City
Liam arrived in Beijing mid-afternoon the following day. He hadn't slept a wink since last night. The news about the fire outbreak left him troubled throughout the whole flight. Beijing was one of the oldest cities in the world, capital and the second largest city in China. It was Liam's first time visiting and if it weren't for the horrendous experience, he wouldn't have taken that flight in the middle of the night because he was given daily feedback on the outcome of his father's business in China."Aren't you hungry, sir?" Gibson was right behind Liam, descending the airstair."No," Liam shook his head and handed his bag to his butler."But it's been fourteen hours,""I'm not hungry, Gibson," Liam had his mind elsewhere. It would be selfish of him to think about food when thirteen people lost their lives in his car brand. Liam's foot finally touched Beijing for the first time in his life.The sun was pounding with excess heat but Liam still removed his dark shades. The airport was
