Stevie and Jack were glued to the computer screen, watching the Tech Corps stock, and the lower the numbers dropped, the higher their mood got. "Let's bet on whether William will file for bankruptcy tomorrow? "I bet he'll declare bankruptcy today!" Stevie smiled. "Based on how things are going, I believe he will file between today or tomorrow. Who knew William's punishment would come so quickly?" Stevie nodded solemnly. "You're right. I certainly didn't expect it so quickly." "We should have a party to celebrate this!" Jack proposed. "No, it's too early to celebrate." Liana, who was working at her computer, silently rejected "Why?" Jack retorted. "Even if William manages to save his life, it doesn't mean he seeks revenge now, and besides, we signed the partnership with TXT today. That's cause for celebration. " "Do you two think we're in a comfortable position now?" Liana turned to look at them, who looked at each other, confused by her words. "Aren't you happy with how t
Some time later, a pair of creepy eyes watched her from outside the window, and realizing that she still had the tranquility of reading by candlelight, the person licked his lips satisfyingly. Very soon, he would turn her leisure into the worst nightmare she had ever had! The door was, again, quietly opened. A tall dark-skinned man wearing a baseball cap glided through the doorway, and his footsteps inaudibly landed on the floor, but the moment he opened the door, a draft of cold air came in. The candlelight flickered slightly, and Liana's eyes widened minutely and she asked without turning her head. "Jack, is that you ? Why are you coming home so late ?" He didn't expect her to be alert enough to realize that someone had entered the room. He said no words as he approached Liana, a large baseball bat in his hand. "Jack, is that you?" Liana's voice showed no sign of alarm when she repeated, and then a laugh was heard in the dark, and when she turned her face, she faced the person b
"The reason he won't frame Anika is because Aisha is his daughter." Liana spoke at once, and everyone stared at her in surprise, even Tom, who wondered how she could know that. Besides him and Anika, no one else knew that Aisha is his daughter! "What?" Jack asked, and Liana turned her computer toward them. "Tom Salles and Anika Maristella are from the same town and worked in the same factory when younger. However, two years after that, Anika left the province and came to the capital, and from then on, her account would have a considerable deposit made every year.Even if the person who gave her the money every year was careful enough to cover up the money trail using money remittance, Anika's account would lose the same amount of money. It is not difficult to connect the dots. Also, ten years ago, Tom visited the hospital for a paternity test. Am I right so far?" Even though Tom couldn't understand the data on the laptop screen, every word Liana said didn't pass for truth. "No wonde
"Because I planned to make use of him from the beginning! Only through this method would he listen to my orders obediently. Tell me, is there any other better way to cultivate loyalty in an assassin?" "So your evil plan started ten years ago? You planned from the beginning to kill my father and me?" Liana asked angrily and Anika no longer felt the need to hide anything. She slowly stood up and looked at Liana. "That's right, but you escaped both attempts on your life! No matter, Liana, I admit it you defeated me, but you will never be the ultimate winner because that person will be my daughter!" Before the sentence was finished, Anika slammed the knife on the table and launched the blade at Liana first! When Liana was dead, the Legrand Family property would still go to her daughter, and Aisha would escape unharmed because she was willing to endure all the crime! Liana was really surprised by Anika's desperate attack, and after narrowly escaping the sharp point of the knife, she gr
"Honey, why are you home alone? Where are the staff?" Aisha spoke first. "Where were you?" William retorted. "I was at my mother's house looking for a way to take care of Liana, as you asked me to." He explained. "And have you taken care of her yet?" "No, Liana is smarter than I thought, she figured out our plan, and now my mother is being held at the police station. I escaped, but if we don't do something soon, Liana will take everything that belongs to her! Honey, there is no one but you who can help me now. Let's find a way to destroy Liana. If not, we'll be left with nothing!" Aisha was very distressed, and then, William dropped his wine glass and walked towards Aisha, and pulled her into an intimate embrace that totally surprised Aisha. "Aisha, I'm sorry, but I can't help you!" William stroked her hair and said with a sigh. "But, why?" Aisha lifted her head to face him. "Because I'm broke!" William replied with a pained expression. "What? How?" she asked shocked, and
"And how do you expect to do that?" He challenged, and when Stevie took a step toward him, William pulled out a pistol he had hidden inside his clothes and shot Stevie, but he didn't stop or run away, he just kept going toward William, it was as if his pain receptors had been burned out, and the bullet wound didn't faze him one bit. He walked up to William and punched William in the face! The two got into a scuffle, and William struggled to fire another shot, but his arm that held the gun was held tightly by Stevie, who punched him one after another in William's face, and after two more punches, William's vision began to blur. Another heavy blow later, William could feel his teeth rattling, however, Stevie didn't give up. In fact, the attack came faster and harder. He pressed William hard, giving him no chance to escape or counterattack. Even though Stevie's shoulder was pierced by a bullet, he was relentless. He was fueled by the power of hate! The resentment that had been repre
"It has nothing to do with Liana, I just saw someone trying to make an attempt on her life, so I had to save her. And I would do the same for anyone else!" Edward replied, and the policemen confirmed it. "And if Mr White hadn't done that, Miss Legrand would probably be dead right now!" The policemen continued to describe the situation, and Greta next to Betina became more and more furious, how could Edward put himself in danger to save Liana? What if something bad happened to him? "Edward must have done it for Dylan." Betina spoke as if she understood Edward's intention. "But honey, next time, you have to remember that you have a family, and God forbid, if something happens to you, what will the rest of us do?" And she began to play the role of the worried bride to the end. "I agree that we should help others whenever we can, but, Edward, you have to learn to read the situation. This time you were lucky to escape with only a minor injury, and you have to remember that you are not o
Liana looked around and realized that she was in a hospital, and Jack was sleeping next to her. Outside, the sun had just risen, so she took a quick look at her phone, and was surprised to find that she had been unconscious for a few days. A complicated bundle of emotions surged through her heart as her thoughts went back to the things that had happened that day, and then the door to her room was opened, and Edward, dressed elegantly entered, and their eyes met and they were both a little stunned. "Did you just wake up?" Edward asked to break the mood that had become. "Yes, and thank you for your help that day!" Liana replied being sincere. "It was nothing, and how are you feeling?" "I'm fine and not in any pain." She answered, and even wanted to know how he was, but she swallowed the question when she saw how easily he moved and how radiant he looked. "It's good that you are feeling better, and by the way, the person who made an attempt on your life was arranged by William."
