Chapter 335: 334 A Happy Puppy, Fangs in the Dark (2 more updates)

Liam Hugh itched with hatred.

When he was clear-headed, he was constantly filled with resentment, wishing he could devour the flesh and drink the blood of his enemies. If it weren’t for having birthed such a scourge, how could he have ended up in such a predicament?

"I heard the Sheas brought a ’Version O’ by Pablo Picasso as a betrothal gift, which once fetched more than three hundred million at auction."

"With the Sheas being so generous, I believe your daughter will live well once she is married over there."

"Mr. Hale is helping to manage the company on that side, you must be quite at ease."

...

Liam Hugh was so angry he felt like killing someone.

How could his family’s company be handed over to an outsider!

After all, it was all supposed to be his.

Could it be that from the very beginning, the Hale Family locked him up here with the intention of seizing his assets?

"The betrothal has already been proposed; I believe the wedding is not far off. As the biological father, it’s uncertain if you’ll be able to attend," the person said, chuckling lowly.

"Mr. Hale is also preparing for the wedding."

"By the way, I don’t know if you are aware, but Zoe Bell is the lost daughter of the Payne Family, and she has now returned to her ancestral roots."

Liam Hugh lost control of his emotions in an instant.

At the beginning, it was because he looked down on Zoe Bell and wanted to arrange someone else for William Hale, that all the subsequent trouble arose.

If only he had known Zoe Bell’s true identity earlier, he would not have met such an end.

Looking at it now,

he felt like a complete joke!

"Ah—," he suddenly began yelling wildly, his forehead covered in bulging veins, displaying a fierce and distorted face!

The people nearby couldn’t hold him down; eventually, they administered a sedative, and after tying his hands and feet to the bed, he gradually calmed down. Before losing consciousness, a voice near his ear kept muttering:

"What a pity, you can’t get out to attend your nephew and daughter’s wedding, you must greatly regret it."

"Such a big event, and the Hugh Family hasn’t informed you; you are pitiable."

"The New Year is almost here, and yet they don’t bring you home. No matter what, you’re still family, their hearts must be truly cold, it seems they have never seen you as one of them."

Ever since Liam Hugh was locked up, only Hannah Johnson and Serena Conner had visited once.

Not even his mother had come.

When he was lucid, he also despaired to the point of attempting suicide, head-butting walls, biting his wrists... He had tried every method, but had failed to die.

Truthfully, he didn’t have the courage to actually die.

Even so, his mother never appeared.

Heartless and merciless!

As if he weren’t even her real son.

Even though he indirectly caused the death of his sister, she was, after all, dead.

And it was suicide!

Could a dead person really be more important than him, the living?

Inside the private room of the club

Everyone was admiring that ’Version O’, a calligraphy piece that was only one of the betrothal gifts.

This was a matrimonial proposal, just a meeting to discuss the matters of the two individuals involved, and it wasn’t yet time for the actual wedding and betrothal. The Sheas were quite extravagant, causing Old Lady Hugh to come close to her daughter-in-law and murmur.

"Yumi, with the Sheas showing such an attitude, it’s hard for me to make any demands."

Yumi Johnson gave a forced smile.

She had originally been worried that her daughter’s pregnancy would give the Sheas a way to pressure them.

But the preparations of the Sheas were too thorough and impeccable.

Mrs. Shea couldn’t hide her daughter’s joy.

Isaac Shea even handed a document to Hannah Johnson.

"This represents half of our shares in the Shea Family business; just sign, and the shares will all be yours."

Even the usually unflappable William Hale raised his eyebrows at that.

Michale Shaw’s eyes lit up instantly.

This was a prenuptial agreement, not communal marital property.

It was essentially gifting her the shares.

Michale Shaw turned his head to look at Hannah Johnson, his expression seeming to say,

"From now on, you’ll be my real sister!"

"This gift is too much," Hannah demurred.

"You’ve helped our family solve a big problem, these shares are nothing." Isaac Shea said with a smile, "Isaac has been smart since he was a child, but he has no clue about doing business. From now on, we will need your extra attention."

Problem?

Everyone’s gaze fell on Isaac Shea.

To outsiders, Isaac Shea seemed to have a good life, high education, and a decent job.

Zoe Payne had even tasted the food he cooked; he was considerate and attentive. How could he be problematic?

Issac Shea let out a sigh:

It was because they hadn’t been poisoned by someone’s tea-making skills.

Nevertheless, he continued with a smile, "Both of us are looking forward to Isaac settling down. His lifelong happiness has always been a challenge for our family. He was completely focused on his studies before he met Hannah and had never dated before. Hannah, please be more indulgent if there’s anything lacking."

He rounded off the conversation neatly.

Hannah Johnson laughed to herself:

This puppy sure knows his tricks; it doesn’t look like his first love at all.

Old Lady Hugh and Yumi Johnson could clearly sense the Sheas’ eagerness.

Because when they discussed where to live after the wedding, Issac Shea even said directly they could live in the Hugh Mansion, showing no objections.

When Isaac Shea suggested living on campus back then, if not for the city’s ban on fireworks, Isaac Shea would certainly have celebrated.

The atmosphere among the two families was harmonious and joyful.

Michale Shaw, slick as ever, moved over to Hannah’s side, "Sis, this is your present."

"Thank you."

"You have to take good care of yourself and try to give me a plump little godson or goddaughter."

"What?" Hannah frowned.

"I want to be your child’s godfather."

Michale Shaw said this with a particularly shameless tone.

"You see, I didn’t manage to chase after you and it really bothered me. We know each other well, and although we didn’t end up together, we can still be family."

"I can guarantee you I will treat your child well. You want your child to be doted on by one more person, don’t you?"

Michale Shaw offered himself for the role.

Hannah Johnson was speechless, "Get lost—"

"Sis, don’t be so heartless. Think about it."

"Having you as a godfather would be embarrassing."

Michale Shaw got angry.

"Embarrassing? You must not realize I’m the dream lover of numerous young girls."

"And also the man you’ll never get for your entire life."

Hannah chuckled lowly, "How do you manage to have such a thick face?"

Zoe Payne, watching the excitement from the sidelines, saw Michale Shaw turn to her and say, "Sister-in-law, you and Hale should hurry up too. I could be a godfather to your kids as well."

"Can’t you be more serious? If you like kids that much, go have your own. What’s with you offering to be everyone’s godfather?" Hannah was glad she had never taken a fancy to him.

"Kids are fun when they’re someone else’s. Raising your own is just too exhausting."

"..."

William Hale continued to watch Isaac Shea.

Someone had been bustling about today, busy as a happy little puppy.

Brock Hale reminded his son, "You’ll have to call him ’brother-in-law’ in the future. Forget Michale Shaw; you’re the junior here, so don’t carry yourself too high."

William Hale suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Not far from the Hugh Mansion, the dinner ended with all guests well-pleased, and Old Lady Hugh invited the Sheas to their home. Michale Shaw shamelessly invited himself along too.

As the group left the venue, a figure emerged from a hidden place.

From the shadows, the person’s face was indiscernible.

Such a joyous moment, it would be a pity not to have a family reunion.

Liam Hugh...

I have created the opportunity for you, so you better pull yourself together.

With your daughter and nephew both on the cusp of happiness, you should definitely present them with a substantial gift.
