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
"Where do I sign?" Liam requested before he could stop himself. It was as if his brain had no control of his mouth anymore. And his mouth spoke whatever it wanted."Good boy," Hunter smacked his cheek lightly, "now untie him," he ordered Ted Price who reluctantly obliged.Charlotte flipped through the documents and stopped at the ending before she shoved a pen in Liam's hand."By signing this, you're relieving yourself from all the inheritance, including your claim as Brandon Price's son." Uncle Benji told Liam.Without a word, Liam began signing his signature even though he was against it. Could it be that he was drugged to be unaware of his actions?When he finished signing, he handed the documents to Hunter with trembling hands."There, he gave us what we wanted, at last, we can do as we please with Brandon's fortune," Hunter flapped the documents with his hand and laughed like a possessed person. Everyone joined in, and they pointed their fingers at him while they were at it."You
To Liam's surprise, his welcome back was a grand gesture when he went to his company the next day. Right at the moment Gibson stopped the car at the garage, some employees dropped a long red rug from the entrance doors to Liam's car, so his foot wouldn't touch the ground when he alighted.Liam hopped out of the car and slammed the door shut. He was sullen from his dream but he couldn't understand what was happening or who was behind it. There seemed to be a little party going on and people were already waiting for him."I have no idea who's behind this," Gibson defended himself when Liam cast him a curious glance. Liam adjusted the collar of his coat and walked through the red rug even though he wasn't in for a show that day. There was a balloon explosion just like his first arrival on the Price Enterprise."You're such an incredible problem solver, Mr. Price.""Way to go with your strategies, we are still blown away.""We're lucky to have such a hardworking CEO.""We appreciate you,
Liam left his company by foot, he didn't wait for Gibson to come pick him up nor did he call any of his bodyguards. He ran out like a crazed person, ignoring everything and everyone. It was bad. He couldn't face his father's family anymore. The dream was haunting his mind and making him restless. He ran as far away as he could from the Price Enterprise because it felt like he would suffocate.He stopped on the footpath of a busy road and tried to catch his breath, after sensing his chest was hurting. People were quick to recognize him. He was all alone with no cars or bodyguards.They squealed and ran in his direction, just to get a hold of him or touch him. When Liam noticed what was happening, his newly developed panic attack started. Just from the sight of the surging crowd, clamoring and pushing past themselves to get him, nearly made him lose his balance.He ran and they chased after him like wild cats. It was too much to handle in one day. He had not the slightest idea of whe
Stevie-Lou wasn't used to having a guy in her apartment, except her elder brother Jake or her fiance, Ted Price.But Liam was there and he had literally begged to stay for two days because he was too overwhelmed by his emotions that were triggered by a terrible dream he had. The world's wealthiest man wanted to stay in her crappy apartment. She didn't know how to handle it. Thirty minutes ago, Liam Price was found running on the road as he was getting chased by his fans, since he was like an idol to everyone. His sudden wealth and brilliance quickly raised him into the position of a celebrity.Stevie-Lou helped him and took him to her apartment just to make him relax but then he had asked to stay for a few days."I have an elder brother who lives with me," she blurted out. "Okay?" Liam didn't appear surprised at all."He has a condition," she added, fumbling with her hands, "and I don't care about the status you uphold, if you make him feel sad, then I'm afraid you'll have to go.""
