"I am irresistibly drawn to this piece," Liam complimented Wang Lui's sketch work of a blindfolded, two-horned beast with four arms."Oh, that one. I did the sketching at age nineteen. My parents were having a hard time accepting me for who I was," Wang Lui pushed his hands into his leather jacket, "I poured out my emotions into this piece.""Have you ever thought about showcasing your collections on social media or partnering with renowned artists to promote your art in galleries?" Liam wanted to give Wang Lui the impression that he was interested in his stuff."No. I sketch for fun or when I'm depressed. My artwork isn't to be displayed to the world," "I get you." Liam put his hand on Wang Lui's shoulder, "For what's one, I think you're great at what you do. Be it for fun or anything." Wang Lui An shot him a grateful, sincere smile. "I'd like to create a sketch of you, Mason. That's why I brought you here. So if you wake up one day and decide to hate me, I'll always have this piec
The next morning was for the car testing race between two car manufacturing companies. Cheng Wang car brand and the Price car brand. There was quite a bit of crowd and Liam and Charks An finally met for the first time on the proving ground."So it's you," Charks An's face was contorted in hate. He even had a stitch on his nose, reminding Liam of what happened that night."In the flesh," Liam answered at last, with a small smile playing on his lips as he buttoned his suit jacket, "I heard you were close with my father," he added in Chinese, dragging his words."When did you arrive in Beijing? About three days ago? And you learned Chinese so fast,""What happened to your nose? You fell and landed face flat on the floor?" Liam inquired.And at this, Charks An clenched his jaw because he recalled how he sustained a broken nose from a crazy masculine woman. Not even having the slightest idea that such a woman didn't exist and that it was no other person than the young man in front of him, L
"Someone tampered with that car,""Mr. Lee said he only left to take care of business and it was just fifteen minutes.""And that fifteen minutes not only made us lose the race but also caused a near-death experience for Guo Ming," Liam panted and puffed out as he stared at Huan Lui in frustration."I'm sorry, sir," Huan Lui dropped his head. Liam just turned away and put his hands on his waist. Losing left a bitter taste in his mouth like bile."I tried to warn you, master Liam," Gibson went to stand beside Liam, "Charks An has backhanded schemes in competitions like this.""It's all my fault," Liam facepalmed and sighed in distress."No, it's not. We could have been more keen in our actions. Thankfully Guo Ming is alive but people would stop buying our cars because of that. Charks An is one step ahead of us again." "What do you suggest I do?" There was a helpless look on Liam's face.And before Gibson could reply there was a quick knock on the door. Thinking it was Yuxuan, Liam we
When Liam took Wang Lui to meet with the rest of his clique, they were all in a confusing state of being perplexed."What's going on here?" Avery folded her arms across her chest as she sent Liam a questioning look. "We've chosen to be together despite all odds," Liam lied, linking his fingers with Wang Lui. And at this, everyone knew better than to question Liam further. They knew about his plans."So, you're choosing your lover over Chairman Charks An?" Avery directed this question to Wang Lui who seemed overly confident of himself."Yes. He treats me like a rubbish piece of garbage because I'm gay and I turned down the woman he asked me to marry," Wang Lui provided.Liam forced him a smile and let go of his hand."But I am his only legitimate son and heir to Cheng Wang group, so when I reveal his secrets to the public and he gets locked up, I'll be the new president of Cheng Wang group," Wang Lui had a cocky smirk on his face."Secrets? What secrets?" Liam turned to face him."Tra
"You look overdressed for someone who's about to deal with his enemy," Avery had a small smile playing on her lips when Liam appeared in front of her, looking all dressed up. It was Cheng Wang's gala night.Liam chuckled to himself when he reached Avery's side, "Only if you knew what I wore as clothes before," Liam paused to have some seconds to himself, so he could admire her beauty. She was wearing a white strapless gown that had a huge slit in front. Her bare back was on display. She paired her dress with black stilettos. Even her heel was white in color. Liam felt proud to have this elegant woman beside him. "Working as a gardener for the Brewer family had me dressing up like a farmer. I only had one suit and one pair of shoes that were worn out. My ex-girlfriend even mocked me when I saved up and bought something fancy for her. She told me I could've got myself some new pair of shoes." "She's a bitch," Avery's hand was already on Liam's cheek when she insulted Chloe."Maybe you
"Chairman Charks An is also into the infiltration of businesses, and this has earned him enough money to fund his wallets, AKA ghost accounts," Sinclair announced from the technical studio and Yuxuan interpreted for the native Chinese speakers.People could barely believe their eyes when evidence was being displayed on the screen. To think the almighty Charks An who was envied and admired by people could do such a thing.Charks An was perspiring despite the AC being on."Turn that off!" He barked this order to his men, who were already at the door, trying to obey their boss's command, but all the doors were locked. Leaving everyone trapped in to see more secrets about Beijing's top tycoon.Liam sat down at a table and poured himself wine. He wanted to enjoy himself and watch everything unfold."Charks An is also into small arms and light weapons trafficking. He's friends with the leader of Kiss Of The Dragon. The deadly group in the whole of China," Sinclair added from the studio and i
Liam's chest rose and fell when the time struck 9 at last.It was time."Charks An's true image has been made known to the public but it doesn't end at that. His legitimate son, Wang Lui An not only connived into exposing his father, but he also has some skeletons stored in his closet," Sinclair's voice resonated once more. Heads hurriedly snapped in Wang Lui's direction upon hearing this.Wang Lui was puzzled at first, wondering what was going on and if he had misheard everything.To make matters worse for him, a footage of him and Liam at the club was shown on tv. How he had confessed to killing and maiming his lovers who got fed up with him. Liam had his back to the camera and his hair was dyed silver-blonde at that time, so no one knew it was him. Whilst everyone could see a drunk Wang Lui, spilling secrets about himself.Even Charks An was glued to his fallen position. "Wang Lui An, the heir, and successor to the Cheng Wang group is not only a man-child but also a psychopath. At
The next day, Charks An and Wang Lui were taken to court for trial. Charks An was given four life sentences before parole, meaning he'd stay in prison for seventy-five years when he was already at fifty-five. Wang Lui was given 25 to life, meaning he'd spend twenty-five years in prison before he would be eligible for parole. But because he had a life sentence, he could be kept in prison for the rest of his life.They were stripped of everything, cars, and properties, and had all their accounts frozen. Even the Cheng Wang group was closed down for being infamous and corrupted.Liam left the court gallery as a victorious person. His company in Beijing was liberated because his enemies were brought to justice.He was to leave Beijing finally, after staying for six days. Yuxuan drove Liam to meet with his workers half an hour later."I trust you'll do well in my absence," Liam directed this to Huan Lui, his managing director."Yes, sir. I'll give daily feedback," Huan Lui replied. They
