Chapter 70

I told myself it was just an act of kindness, especially since Liam had recently helped me out.

Besides, Ineeded to get information about the Wiley Corporation from him.

Liam held me for about three or four minutes before letting go. He offered a smile, but it didn't reach his almond-shaped eyes.

"You must think I'm pathetic, don't you?" he asked

I stayed silent, my lips pursed together. He sat down in the chair beside me, eyes fixed on the floor, and said in a self-deprecating tone, "Go ahead and laugh. I know I look ridiculous."

Liam wasn't supposed to be like this. He used to be charming, amorous, arrogant, and overflowing with self-confidence. He had both the charisma and the means to back it up. He should have been a leopard prowling the grasslands, not the defeated creature he had become.

I looked down at his bowed head and asked, "What happened?"

"Do you want to hear about it? Lam replied, lifting his gaze to meet mine.

I met his eyes and nodded. The night was long, and so was Liam's story. I learned why he and Erhan had become bitter rivals and how the grudges from the previous generation had been passed down.

Liam's mother and Ethan's father were classmates, Sarah had a crush on fodas since their freshman year of college, but he was already in a relationship at the time. Unable to confess her feelings, she carried along regret. Despite longing for him throughout their college years, she never had the chance to confess her feelings. After graduation, Judas married Julia. However, their marriage was a business arrangement, and Julia never loved podas. She had only agreed to the marriage under pressure from tan. Over time, Judas grew to love his wife, and Julia decided to make their marriage work after discovering she was

pregnant with Ethan

When she was three months pregnant, her first love returned

Tom between her feelings for him and her commitment to Ethan, she was on the verge of leaving Ethan. However, Judas, who had become her partner, confined her to their home. During this period, Sarah reconnected with Judas. Unable to resist temptation, Sarah and Judas began a brief affair, but a few months later, Julia passed away due to complications during childbirth.

Overwhelmed by guilt, Judas ended his relationship with Sarah, who had become increasingly obsessed with him.

Afterward, she married Liam's father, Daniel, but she never truly loved him. Eventually, she began having affairs, and their marriage became increasingly strained. Liam, caught in the middle, became acasualty of their unhappiness. It was almost down when the story finally came to an end, I had never known this secret before, and everything felt so confusing Then it hit me that Liam and Ethan were about the same age

Could they be

I glanced at Liam. My thoughts toyed with the possibility that they might be half-brothers. Noticing my hesitation, Lium smiled knowingly

"Ethan and Laren't related by blood," he said.
