As soon as Tyler left, Miranda continued with what she was about to do.

She wanted to call Hailey and Jane but had to wait and attend to Tyler.

As soon as she dialed Hailey's number, she picked up immediately.

“Hi, Hailey."

“Hi." Hailey's voice was sad. After the deal with Aura cosmetics was canceled, Hailey had been struggling to get good deals. Unfortunately, all she could get was minor ones.

She believed that she had passed the level of such a petty deal. Unfortunately, she had no choice but to take the one she got. If not, she might go completely broke.

She could not afford to claim to be a model and to be broke at the same time. It was going to be so bad.

“Why did you call?" Hailey asked but got no response for her question. Instead, Miranda became worried for her.

“Are you ok? You don't sound like someone who's fine. Tell me, are you sick? If you are then you should see a doctor."

"I'm fine.” Hailey almost yelled at her. She was sounding too inquisitive and asked too many que

You've been in here many times and…”"I said, get lost from here, don't come back. I don't want to have anything to do with you ever again.”“But…” Jane wanted to go closer to him.“Are you dumb?

    While Liam was lost in his thoughts, Miranda came forward with his food and placed the tray before him.He was jolted out of his thoughts and lifted his head to glance at her with a smile on his face.Miranda had no idea what he was planning for her. “Why are you staring at me like that? It's not like you're seeing me for the first time.” Miranda joked and they all laughed about it.“Well, your husband here has been saying a lot about you.” Kent said amidst mouthful of food "Since you're also very good at interior designing, I'd suggest that you start up your own firm. I can assure you that you'll grow in time and I also promise to always refer people to your firm.”Miranda stood speechless at a spot as she gaped at the men."I um… I can't do that right now." Miranda stammered."Come and sit down, honey.” Liam pointed to the chair closer to him.Once Miranda was settled down on the seat, she continued with what she was saying.“You see, Kent. My family is already in the business of

    "Why?” Hailey was shocked to hear such a response from Jane."Did Mira offend you so much that you no longer want any close association with her?”“Just give back my drink. I don't want to talk about Mira or anyone who's affiliated to her.”Jane reached out to collect her drink but Hailey refused to give her back.“No, I'm not giving you this drink." Since Jane was not in the mood to tell her anything, Hailey decided to take her home.She quickly paid the bills and dragged Jane out of the place. “Come on, let's get you home. Maybe you'd be better after you take some rest or even a nap." “I don't want to go home. I want to drink some more." Jane insisted but her friend was not listening to her.“I'm taking you home and there's nothing you can do about that." Hailey dragged her friend out of the place and drove her home.Later that evening at the Westons' family villa. The stage had been set and most of the invited guests were all seated. Although, some were still coming.They were w

    When Hailey left Miranda at the place, she quickly left the villa and went to board a cab.Inside the cab, she was lost in her thoughts and didn't notice a car pass by. The car belonged to Sean and he soon got into the Westons' villa.Sean got into the place and saw Piper addressing everyone. Once Piper saw him, she called to his attention and Sean went to meet them at the stage.Meanwhile, Liam alighted from a cab and made his way into the villa in his usual simple dressing. However, the security men stopped him.“I'm sorry Sir, Lady Mary has asked us not to let you in." One of the guards said to him.Liam let out a dry chuckle. Indeed, he had been told not to show up at the villa. However, he didn't expect such prevention measures to be taken because of him.Everyone else was allowed and not him.“Lady Mary asked you to keep me away from the villa." Liam repeated the words and the men nodded.“That's right." “But this is the family home of my wife. Why am I not allowed to go in? M

    After Sean said all he had to say, he dropped the microphone and began to walk away from the villa. However, Piper ran after him.“Mr. Sean. What happened? I can't comprehend anything that you just said." Everyone else who had just listened to Sean turned to his direction as Piper approached him."I don't understand, Sir. Why did you say all that?” Piper asked, confusion evident on her face.Allison and her parents soon approached them at the place. They were perplexed and wondered what Sean meant by what he just announced before everyone.Top Notch interiors were not honest so LR will no longer do business with them. What does that even mean?I'm what ways have they been dishonest?Piper turned her face and glanced at her family before asking Sean.“And how do you mean that Mr. Sawyer was not allowed into this place? How's that even possible?" Sean let out a dry chuckle before replying to the confused people."We gave that contract to Top Notch interiors because we believed that Mi

    Before Tyler could get into his car, Hailey showed up before him, startling him.“What the hell? You just startled me, Hailey. And what are you doing here?" "I'm sorry about that.” Hailey apologized with one of her hands raised.Tyler let out a deep sigh and glared at her before asking. "What is it?”He had noticed how Hailey always looked at him each time they saw each other. He knew that Hailey wanted to be in Miranda's shoes.She wanted to be romantically entangled with him. However, he didn't want her. It was Miranda that he wanted.Tyler believes that Hailey and Jane are wild and are not good enough to be friends with Miranda. He believed that Miranda was so innocent while Hailey and Jane must have slept with a lot of men to get what they wanted.“I…um, uh… I heard everything.” Hailey stuttered but Tyler's eyes had not left her face in a dirty look.“I don't understand." He uttered coldly and Hailey had to explain.“I heard all your conversation with Piper and the guards. Do you

    “You are the one who would be handling the project. Nobody else will take it away from you." “No matter what they try, they won't succeed." Liam knew exactly how it feels to be treated badly. He had been there before when he was working as a manager at Aura cosmetics. He was still receiving a lot of unkind treatment from everyone around him, except those who had already learned his real identity.His parents in-laws and sister in-law were the worst set of people.“How can you be so sure?" Miranda inquired. She was wondering why Liam sounded so confident and sure.It was as though he was Mr. Sawyer himself, assuring her that he was in charge.Miranda was yet to find out the real identity of her husband.“I just know in my heart that you'd be the one to handle the project because you deserve it. You worked hard for it, didn't you?" Miranda said nothing afterwards. She made her way to the door to open it but her phone began to ring.When she saw that the caller was Sean, she swiftly p

    Hailey was not convinced by her friend's response. She did not believe that Jane knew nothing.“Why is it so hard for me to believe you?" Hailey furrowed her brows and went closer to her friend, staring directly at her eyes.“You are lying to me. Now tell me the truth." Jane looked away and bit her lips. More than anything, she wants to reveal what she knows about Liam to her friend. However, she was scared of what Liam would do to her.He had threatened to destroy her career, and the other night at the park, he gave her a reminder.“I'm telling you the truth. I don't know what you're talking about. You're just overthinking it." Jane turned back to face her friend before replying. “Look, Hailey, go home and rest. You should stop bothering yourself about this. I think it's just a coincidence." “No." Hailey refused to believe that Liam and Sean's meeting at the bar was a coincidence.She had met Liam with Sean at that bar the last time. Now she had learned of Sean's identity as the

If I knew that you didn't have any money, I wouldn't have carried you in my cab." Without a word, Liam stared at the man for a while before commenting. "I'm so sorry about that. It's just that I don't have any money on me. If you'd wait for me, then let me go and get your money inside.”"I promise not to waste any more of your time.

    Not one of them could overpower him since he mastered the act of self defense.Liam beat the men all up that they could not stand up from the ground.When Korra came to fight him, he struck her with just a punch and she fell on the ground.Liam gazed at her for a while and lowered himself before uttering coldly. “I thought you were a nice person and to think that I was already falling for you because of how you treated me." “Well, it turns out that I was wrong. You're a gangster who dupes people of their hard earned money. You're not an honorable person.”Liam stared at the others who were still wincing in pain on the ground.He had beaten them up so badly that it'd be hard for them to stand up and fight him again.He returned his gaze back to Korra and said to her."I'll be back for you guys.” He stood up and began to walk away. However, he stopped halfway and turned to glare at each of them before snorting. “By the way, I remember everything now and my name is Liam." "I'm going to

    “Damn, Stranger. You must be really hungry to eat like that.” Slim tried to interrupt Liam who did not pay heed to him.“Slow down, ok, so you don't choke. You must know that we have a lot to do today and no one is going to take you to the hospital if you choke.”Liam turned to stare briefly at him before turning to drink some water.He was the first person to finish eating and quickly stood up.Liam went to the sitting room and sat down on one of the Sofas.He had observed the whole place and seen that the doors were locked. It was to prevent him from running away.Liam lowered his head while deep in his thoughts. However, he was jolted awake by a loud tap on his shoulder.“It's time." Slim said to him.“Come with me, we've set up one of the rooms which will serve as our office from now henceforth.”Slim led the way while Liam followed. However, he stopped halfway and refused to go further.“I'm sorry, I can't do it anymore.” Liam uttered while still standing at a spot. He kept a ver

    “Shut that mouth of yours." Slim barked angrily with bloodshot eyes.“You don't make the rules so you have no right to tell us what's right and wrong.”With furrowed brows, Parker added. “And who cares about their feelings? Do we look like people who give their two cents about our victims?" Liam swallowed hard but said nothing. Things were really getting out of hand and he had no idea what to do about it.The situation was getting serious.After a moment of silence, Slim walked towards Liam and patted him on the back before commenting.“Look, Stranger. Don't worry yourself about what we do or about our victims. I'm sure that they'll be fine, so relax.”"In fact, I think I know what you need right now." Slim went over to the bar and brought out a bottle of whiskey and four glasses. When he came back to the dining table, he passed the glass to each of them but Liam refused to take it.“I'm fine, I don't want to drink." He declined politely but coldly and got Slim angry.“Take it, now

    "Hacking skill.” Liam muttered to himself. He gave each of them a quick glance before shaking his head in disagreement.“You must be mistaken. I don't have any hacking skills.”"Of course, you do. You've just proven it by opening this email account. Something that I've been trying to do for some time now, it's always been unsuccessful.”At that moment, Korra stood up from the chair and said to them,"I have to go and fix dinner. You guys get on with it.”.While Korra left the table, Liam's eyes followed her. He wished he could follow her so she could explain everything to him.At that moment, he was confused and he believed that Korra was the one to answer his questions.He only asked them to look for a job for him and they were asking him to do what he didn't understand.“We're waiting to hear from you Mr. Stranger." Slim muttered in a low voice and brought Liam's attention to himself.He didn't like how Liam was looking at Korra's retreating figure. For that reason, he had to call b

    Slim wrapped her with his large arms after she spoke those words. It was still family over everything.They were the only family that Korra had.Although she was not happy that the men would be getting rid of Liam after using him. However, there was nothing she could do.She had promised herself to keep Liam safe and take care of him. But as it stands, things might no longer go the way she had planned.If Liam had regained his lost memories earlier, he would have been gone by now and his life won't be in danger.Slim pulled out of the embrace and asked Korra, staring into her eyes. “Are you ready for us to face him?" Korra nodded her head. "Yes. We need this to improve our standard. We need to be the richest and we could leave the country when we hit it very big.”"When we make a lot of money, we will flee this place for good.
