?Chapter 499: Lizas relentless criticisms of Harlee angered Lonnie, who rarely reacted.


    He found it hard to contain his displeasure.


    He fixed Liza with an icy gaze and said calmly, Im struggling to see how someone who manages Janessa Studio and works as an engineer for the National Aerospace Agency could be considered inferior to one whose only talent is staying close to her grandmother at home.


    Lonnies sharp retort sent the room into a wave of stifledughter.


    Precisely! Mrs.


    Liza Morgan must have been in the countryside for too long.


    Her perspective has clearly shrunk.


    iming Janessa Studios head is inferior to her granddaughter is embarrassing! someone remarked mockingly.


    No, youre mistaken! Her understanding has always been limited.


    She probably has no idea what Janessa Studio is! Ha-ha! Then if we mention the National Aerospace Agency engineer, surely she cant feign ignorance? The sound of Lizas cane striking the floor again cut through the growingughter, her re a clear warning.


    But no one paid her any mind.


    In fact, theughter only grew louder.


    For years, everyone whispered that her inaction had led to Cades death.


    Despite the wealth she still possessed, they knew the power truly rested with Wilton.


    Lαt?st chαpt?rs in g????lnovels.c????m Having spent years in the countryside, Liza was no longer the respected Mrs.


    Morgan of the past.


    She was now a shadow of her former self.


    Lizas cheeks reddened with a mix of shame and fury.


    She despised Cade for painting her negatively even in death, for squandering her youth, and for tormenting her in herter years.


    She felt no remorse, never contemting that if she hadnt taken her time getting dressed before seeking medical help for Cade, he might have lived, and her position would have remained intact.


    But Liza never regretted what she had done.


    In fact, she secretly wished Cade had passed away sooner.


    Their union had always been a contractual one, and although they maintained the appearance of civility, they secretly loathed each other, which was why they only had Wilton.


    Wilton was the product of her maniption.


    To be more precise, Wilton was their only legitimate heir.


    Liza had personally taken care of Cades other children and his long-lost first love.


    Cade had only uncovered this secret before his death, but, sadly, he was unable to do anything, as Liza had intentionally dyed his medical treatment.


    Lizas expression returned to its usualposure as she reentered the present moment.


    She surveyed the room with a cold gaze, still exuding authority.


    Mr.


    Flores, I believe youre working on a real estate project youd like to develop, correct? Mr.


    Loftus, the game the Morgan Group invested in lost money.


    Where is the information I asked for? Mr.


    Perry, you speak so eloquently.


    Why did you only beg for my investment when your familys needs were at stake? .
