Taken off guard by Ethan's question, Liam froze for a second. His expression hardened slightly, but he kept his composure. He understood Ethan’s concerns and didn’t want to escalate the situation.This was just one of the consequences of having his name dragged through the mud. Now everyone was going to be looking at him differently. The thought made Liam even more determined to fix everything, though for now, he had no idea how. There was no concrete proof to show that Selena was lying."I get it," Liam said, keeping his voice calm. "You’ve seen the headlines, and you have every reason to be cautious. But I’m not here with any bad intentions toward your family. Whatever the news is saying, it’s not the truth."He paused, meeting Ethan’s gaze directly. "I'm just here to check on Mr. Carrington. That’s all. I have no interest in causing trouble for your family." He meant it. He genuinely wanted to help them navigate through their problems, especially since they were dealing with Alexan

The fact that Selena arrived with a lawyer was enough for Liam to grasp the seriousness of the situation. She had likely filed a lawsuit against him for assault, a thought that fueled his anger. The nerve she had to do this, despite the truth being the complete opposite, was infuriating. However, Liam knew he couldn’t act on his emotions; he had to maintain control.Selena darted her gaze toward the lawyer seated next to her, silently instructing him with a mere flick of her eyes.The lawyer stood up from the bench his movements were precise and deliberate. He adjusted his tie as he cleared his throat, an audible signal that he was about to speak. He then stretched out his arm to shake Liam's hand and introduced himself, “Mr. Danvers, I’m Lawyer Gibson, representing Ms. Selena.” His voice was calm and professional, yet it was laced with a hint of condescension, as if he enjoyed being in the position of power. Liam's gaze remained fixed on Selena, a silent challenge hanging in the ai

Liam arrived at the place his dad had asked him to meet. It was a high-end restaurant, the kind of spot where only the rich would go since it was expensive. More importantly at this place privacy was a top priority so that's why Alvin chose it, knowing the type of conversation he was going to have with Liam.The polished marble floors of the place and hushed conversations made it clear that discretion was the norm. Liam parked his car and stepped out, adjusting his jacket as he scanned the entrance for any sign of his father.It didn’t take long before he eventually spotted his dad. Alvin was already seated at a private booth near the back, with a calm demeanor. He waved Liam over, offering a small nod as Liam approached.As Liam got closer to his dad's booth, he noticed that someone else was seated next to his dad. The man was casually dressed in a white simple polo shirt and white trousers. His laid-back appearance differed a lot with the upscale environment.He looked young, proba

For the first time since this whole mess began, Liam felt a glimmer of hope that his name could be cleared. He had to thank his dad for hiring the investigator, who had managed to dig up information on Selena that he never would have found on his own.After discussing the case further with Sonia, Liam leaned back breathing a sigh of relief. They had gone through every possible angle, her financial inconsistencies, the questionable lawyer backing her, and the gaps in her story that could cast doubt on her accusations against Liam. Sonia’s confidence in building a defense around these findings gave him a glimmer of hope, but he knew it would be a tough fight to clear his name.As they wrapped up, Sonia gathered her notes and looked at him with a calm and assuring gaze. “Mr Danvers, this will be tough, but it’s not impossible. We’ll keep digging, but you’ll need to be prepared. Public opinion will swing back and forth, and it may get worse before it gets better."Liam nodded, his expres

A wave of betrayal and disbelief washed over Elena after hearing what Nia Bennett, who was her and Nathan's Aunt, had to say. She hadn’t expected support from the old woman, especially when it involved Nathan; Nia would take his side over her anyways, but nonetheless to hear her against her, against the child she was carrying… It was almost too much. Elena realized she might be more alone in this than she’d initially thought. A part of her understood Nathan and Nia's feelings; after all, she was carrying a Danvers in her belly, a name that represented everything they despised. Even so, the child was still hers, an innocent life that hadn’t yet taken a breath. She couldn’t bring herself to imagine aborting him. Raising her head, Elena met Nia's gaze and then she turned to stare at Nathan with a defiance look and said,“That's not happening.” She protested. She couldn't imagine aborting the baby. It wasn’t just that Elena loved the unborn child, though, in her way, she did. But her
