"Sir, what's going on?"It was the first time Lincoln had seen Liam like this, and while he was concerned, he was even more worried that Liam might do something to harm himself."Lincoln, I am a sinner. I am a man who abandoned his wife!" Liam looked utterly defeated.Lincoln was left speechless.How did Liam, who was perfectly fine before, become a man who abandoned his wife?"She must be devastated." Liam was convinced that Lana had left with hatred toward him."Sir, let's go back," Lincoln whispered, trying to console Liam.Lana's family wasn't home, and even if Liam sat there until the end of time, it wouldn't make a difference. Just as Lincoln was contemplating whether to seek Violet's help in persuading Liam, Liam stood up on his own.Ignoring Lincoln, Liam stared at Lana's home for a long while. When he turned around, he resumed his original demeanor—composed, calm, and regal."Lincoln, immediately investigate Ms. Clark's whereabouts. Even if she's in hell, I'll bring
Violet and Liam spend a long time chatting in his room. By the time the two of them came out again, Liam had regained his composure.He was back to his proud and restrained self."Go ahead. Aren't you meeting Emilia tonight?" The alliance between Emilia and Adrian had become a thorn in Violet's side lately. "Take a look at what that traitor's up to!" Liam certainly hadn't forgotten about attending Emilia's dinner party. No matter what difficulties he was facing, nothing was more important than national affairs.He would eventually settle scores with traitors like Emilia. But for now, Liam would let her struggle for a couple more days.As for Adrian, he would make sure to expose his true colors. At the very least, he wouldn't let his parents' sacrifice be in vain.…Today, Emilia wasn't wearing her usual elegant attire. Instead, she chose to wear a wine-red velvet dress and apply heavy makeup.Charming and alluring, she exuded a captivating air.Even Adrian couldn't take his e
This time, Adrian spared no expense.According to him, not only would he grant noble titles to those who helped him, but they would even be given a fortune. Wasn't that so much better than their desperate struggles at Zanteles?"I believe everyone here is wise enough to know what's good for them and their families—""You promised a lot of good things, but you still haven't told us what exactly you want us to do." Liam interrupted Adrian while he was still speaking reverently. Although Adrian was a little upset to be interrupted in the midst of his speech, he still had to answer Liam's question."As far as I know, everyone here came from various industries. This is especially the case with Mr. Kane, who was involved with the design of Zanteles' navigation software. I'm sure you must be familiar with all the regional maps of Zanteles, right?"Was Adrian trying to steal the interior mapping of Zanteles' streets?Liam instantly understood Adrian's intentions. However, the others
Liam's dark gaze remained as calm as ever. However, he was the only one who knew his inner turmoil. He could never remain composed when it came to matters that were related to Lana. She was his weakness.But he never expected Adrian and Emilia to use it against him. This time, they were forcing him to cooperate with them.Emilia began to flatter him again when she noticed his displeasure."Mr. Liam, it's not a loss for you to cooperate with Duke Adrian. It's a good opportunity for you to make a mark on history. You're a smart man—I'm sure you know what's best for you."Liam knew Emilia's words were both encouragement and a threat."Don't you find your actions despicable?" he asked.Adrian chuckled. He was pleased that Liam was finally willing to have a conversation with him."Mr. Kane, how can this be called despicable? I just know you very well."He had long noticed that Liam regarded Lana differently. Even though they had already broken up, he was certain Liam was still in
Nevertheless, Emilia's display of weakness couldn't calm Adrian's fury."Based on your previous behavior, I find it hard to fully trust you. Whether I return to the country or not, it depends on how you handle this situation," he asserted.Emilia was confident in her ability to resolve the matter perfectly. "Just wait and see. I'll definitely bring everyone, including Liam, back to your side." Emilia never entered a battle unprepared. If she wanted these people to obediently follow her and help her ascend to that dazzling position, she didn't mind using some underhanded tactics.After pacifying Adrian, Emilia reverted to her arrogant and aloof demeanor without waiting for his response. She raised her head high and walked away elegantly. Before leaving, she said, "Go back and wait for my good news."After Emilia left, Adrian revealed a paranoid and frenzied smile. "What an arrogant woman. This kind of person is only useful for manipulation."…In the late hours of the night,
Liam could sense their skepticism, and he sighed. Eventually, he sat down in front of the trio. "Reaching out to you this time isn't solely about Lana," he began. "But since you don't want to help with me and Lana's matter, that's fine. It's a private matter between her and me, and there's no reason to trouble you guys." Due to David's incident, Billy now despised jerks more than anything in his life. Seeing Liam continue to ramble, he grew more impatient. "Old man, will you ever finish? Just get to the point, okay?""Who are you calling an old man?" A white-haired and well-dressed elderly lady suddenly walked over. Though her tone was stern, her gaze toward the Traffic Light Trio was exceptionally tender. In front of the elderly lady, the trio showed great discretion. They all stood up and looked at Violet with suppressed anger but dared not utter a word."In my presence, he's not qualified to be called an old man," Violet said as she gestured for them to sit. Following that
"Are you afraid?" Kelvin asked provocatively. "Guys, let's get out of the car. Don't bother listening to him talk."Lincoln was bemused. He marveled at how impulsive and straightforward young people were nowadays. In the back seat, Billy used his long legs to kick the driver's seat and urged, "Hey, old geezer. Let us off!" "What?" Lincoln could hardly believe his ears. "Old ... Old geezer?" Lincoln was shocked that they would refer to him as an old geezer when he was a year younger than Liam."Look at the wrinkles on your forehead," Billy said disdainfully. "There are so many of them. "Liam might be an old man, and even if you're just a decade older than him, aren't you still an old geezer?"Lincoln was rendered speechless. He couldn't believe they actually thought he was a decade older than Liam. He felt like he needed a breath of fresh air right now, or he might just pass out."Guys, let's get out. We've arrived." The Traffic Light Trio got off one by one. Although they
Violet trembled with fear when she saw Lincoln. "Lin … Linkin, how about I find you a girlfriend?"Lincoln was momentarily stunned. It had been a long time since Violet had spoken to him so kindly and warmly, especially since Liam and Lana broke up. Lincoln was well aware of the Kane family's temperament. When Violet suddenly treated him so kindly, there must be something she wanted him to do. Lincoln suddenly felt anxious and could only cautiously ask, "Why?"In Violet's mind, there could only be one reason, and it was because Lincoln liked men! However, since Lincoln didn't show it, Violet didn't want to disclose his sexuality and embarrass him. So she casually came up with an excuse, saying, "It's because you're getting older!"Hearing that, Lincoln felt as if he was struck by lightning. He had no clue how many times others had commented on his age that night. He couldn't help but doubt if he really looked that old. Even if Lincoln was growing old, his marriage wasn't som
