Chapter 9
When Liam arrived, Marlon had already been pinned down to the ground by his men.
His eyes were cold and he slowly walked towards him, lifting his foot and forcefully kicking him in the face.
Briley watched as Marlon screamed in pain, and tears welled up in her
eyes.
She quickly hid in Liam’s arms.
“Liam, Marl
said he was sent by Ms. Shepard and that she was going to give him fifty million. Liam,/she may not like me, but how could she do such a thing!”
“I was not as privileged as her. She was a wealthy young lady, while I was just an orphan that nobody wanted. But I was still a person!”
Briley cried until she fainted, not giving Liam a chance to speak.
Liam was instantly ignited by her words, his crimson eyes fixed firmly on the person on the ground.
“You made it clear, it was Jessie who bribed you with money!”
The man was scared by Liam’s gaze and nodded hesitantly, “It… it was ordered by Ms. Shepard!”
Just as the words fell, there was a loud “crack” sound.
Liam smashed the glass cup next to him, and the veins on his forehead throbbed fiercely.

With a single glance, he had his assistant take away the man on the ground.
He was so angry that he completely failed to notice the eye contact between the man opposite him and Briley.
Liam comforted the crying Briley and then, with a serious face, called Jessie again.
But this time it showed sh
down.
His thin lips tightened, and his eyes sharply recalled his mother’s phone call. Subconsciously, he assumed that Jessie had hidden in the Foley family’s old mansion.
Liam picked up the car keys and walked towards the direction of the old house.
All the way, his mind was filled with Briley’s words.
When his mother brought him to the Foley family, everyone in the Foley family resented him as their stepson.
Apart from the Foley family, everyone mocked him for relying on his mother’s status to enter their social class. They would hit him, insult him, bully him, and everyone would make fun of him. But his mother told him to endure.
Because his stepfather couldn’t have children, the entire Foley family was always just the two of them, mother and son.
When Liam arrived at the old house, Hannah had just been on the phone with Jessie’s mother Jennifer, who was abroad.
Jennifer meant that there was no need to search anymore.
She was feeling sorry for Jessie when she saw Liam angrily walking

towards her.
“Why did you suddenly come over? Have you had dinner?”
Hannah approached, but before she could touch Liam, he coldly pushed her away.
“Where is Jessie? I know she was hiding here with you, tell her to come out!”
Seeing Hannah’s wide–eyed and speechless expression, he couldn’t hold back and bypassed her, heading straight towards his room upstairs.
Walking and shouting Jessie’s name at the same time.
“Jessie! Jessie!”
He forcefully pushed open the door of his bedroom, only to find it immaculately clean inside, as if no one had ever lived there.
Hannah followed him up the stairs.
“Where is she? Where did you hide her?”
a
Hannah’s voice trembled involuntarily as she looked at Liam’s crimson
eyes.
“Liam, Jessie… she was already dead.”
“What?!”
Liam widened his eyes, and his mind exploded with a “bang,” as if it suddenly burst open.
The next second, he/sneered out loud.
“Jessie spent money to have someone insult Briley, how could she

possibly go and die? Mom, how much did she give you in return to make you speak for her like this?”
“Alright, where is she? Call her out to apologize to Briley! This time, I will definitely not be so lenient again!”
Hannah saw him and he seemed completely unaware, which didn’t look like he was pretending.
Her brows furrowed, and she slowly placed her hand on Liam’s arm.
“Liam, no one bribed me, the plane Jessie was on crashed into the sea, and everyone on board died.”
“Jessie, she really died.”
