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
Immediately they arrived at the airport the following day, Liam asked Gibson to take him to his hospital. He wanted to see his step-sister before attending to anything else.People greeted him with respect at the hospital, they heard news of what he did in Beijing. "How's my sister?" Liam stopped at the doctor's office."She's recuperating in a gradual process but showing signs of extreme depression, which is normal from a patient who had a near-death experience," Dictior Cyrus explained."Can I see her now?" "Sure, but I must warn you. She hasn't spoken to anyone since she woke up. I can't tell if it's selective mutism or temporal mutism from the impact of the accident."Liam nodded, "she doesn't have to talk to me, I just need to see her to know how she's faring."He made his way to Beatrice's ward a few minutes later and had the decency of knocking before entering.Beatrice Price was seated on her hospital bed flipping through a fashion magazine when Liam entered the room. The ban
"What was your twin like?""Emily? She was the sweetest thing in the world." "And she died before you knew about our father?""Yes, she had cardiovascular disease. We lived together in a small room and I worked tooth to nail just to provide her with drugs."Just as Liam had promised, he was wheeling Beatrice outside her ward because she couldn't walk. The nurses came with a wheelchair at his order and helped put Beatrice in it. None of them could make any protest that Charlotte Price disapproved of it."Do you miss her?" Beatrice raised her head to see the look on Liam's face when she popped this question."There's been no day I haven't thought about her. We shared the same womb and grew up together. Our mom died when we were six so we took care of ourselves alone," Liam felt a stab of pain at this and sadness stirred up in his eyes for a few seconds."That's grievous," Beatrice cast a pitiful glance at her stepbrother, "Arthur and Georgie annoy the hell out of me. We're all in a love
Charlotte was maddened to see her Precious daughter with Liam, the man she hated with every ounce of her being. Beatrice was not only free with Liam, but she was also looking up at him with admiration in her eyes and letting him spoon-feed her."Mother," Beatrice gulped down her food when Liam withdrew the spoon.A frantic Charlotte handed her bag to one of her escorts and rushed to the side of her daughter.Liam didn't leave his seating position, he just remained where he was and waited for his father's wife to throw a fit."Why did you let him take you out?" She scolded her daughter."Because I wanted some fresh air. I couldn't stay in my ward which felt like a hell hole," Beatrice explained.And Charlotte's eyes were as big as saucers."You refused to speak to any of us and you did upon his arrival? Unbelievable." Beatrice rolled her eyes in their sockets and said nothing.Charlotte shifted her gaze to Liam and glared at him with contempt."And you, what were you even thinking? Bri
