?Chapter 576: Although Adelina was serving time in prison, at least she still made an effort to show respect and gratitude.
Averie had been right all along.
There was a world of difference between biological children and those who werent rted by blood.
Liam surmised this whole ordeal was because Harlee had imed he was her father.
Seeing Liam give in, the men in ck loosened their grip, but one of them, his voice cold as steel, asked, You say you are not her father? Whats the real story? Speak now, or dont me us for being ruthless! Since he was allowed to exin, Liam eagerly recounted Harlees background, starting from the moment she rejoined the Sanderson family to her contemptuous attitude toward the Gill family.
Once Liam was done, one of the men pulled out a phone and respectfully ryed the information.
What do you think? A cold voice replied on the other end, If he insists he is not her father, then eliminate him immediately.
After all, he once raised that woman.
While he poses no threat, ending the life of someone tied to her might still be satisfying.
Liams heart thundered in his chest as his eyes widened in disbelief.
Could someone truly order his death with such nonchnce? His fear was bone-deep, but beyond that, he was stunned.
Was there truly someone in Baythorn so bold as to dispatch killers with such audacity? What kind of enemy had Harlee provoked? The realization hit Liam like a punch to the gut.
If the man in ck decided to pull the trigger, his life would end in this deste parking lot.
No one would ever know how he died.
Step into new worlds at g ? lnσ ν???? ?s?conn Anger and helplessness warred within him, but he dared not say another word.
He understood too well that speaking out would only elerate his doom.
The men in ck remained silent, their cold eyes fixed on Liam.
Then, without a word, they raised their weapons.
Two shots rang out, the bullets slicing cleanly through their targets.
Blood erupted like a crimson fountain, sttering everywhere.
But the blood wasnt Liams.
It belonged to the two men in ck, crumpled lifelessly beside him.
The shock was too much for Liam to process.
His mind reeled as he watched the two men who moments ago had stood poised to end his life fall lifeless, their faces frozen in terror.
He had never seen anything like this before.
He was stunned for a moment before slipping into unconsciousness.
Liam didnt stay unconscious for long.
A slender figure appeared in front of him, bloodstained hands pressing against his head, forcing him to open his eyes.
The harsh sunlight bore down, ring directly into Liams eyes.
Squinting, he turned his gaze toward the neer, whose bright smile seemed to cut through the blinding light.
It seems like you do have your uses, dad, she said.
Liams gaze remained nk as the face before him gradually came into focus.
It was a face he loathed more than any other.
He had been cursing Harlee just moments ago, wishing her nothing but death.
Yet here she was, having saved him, though he was in this predicament solely because those targeting Harlee had mistaken him for someone else.
