---
Renee sat alone at the table, savoring the sweet comfort of the cupcake in her hand. It wasn't just any ordinary dessert — it was one of those special treats that only a certain thoughtful soul had ever known to send her. Since Liam had left, not a single one of those delightful little cupcakes had found its way to her doorstep, and her cravings had only grown worse. So when she'd finally managed to get her hands on one, the sugary frosting felt like a small slice of happiness after far too long a drought.
But even as the sweetness melted on her tongue, a fire burned in her eyes. Her laptop sat open before her, its glow reflecting her determined expression as she typed away feverishly, hunting for an IP address. She was on a mission: find the person behind that inflammatory article and make them pay for all the damage they'd caused.
Just then, a familiar figure sauntered over. Liam leaned in, glanced at her screen, and a knowing smirk tugged at his lips. "Who's the big shot?" he asked innocently enough. "Why is our boss personally getting her hands dirty chasing after someone like this?"
Renee waved a dismissive hand, not even bothering to look up. "Oh, you wouldn't understand, kid. Run along and play somewhere else."
Liam folded his arms across his chest and let out a theatrical cough, clearly enjoying himself far too much. "Boss, you can just stop right there. The person who wrote that article? He's standing right underneath your nose."
Those words finally pulled Renee's attention away from the glowing screen. Her eyes narrowed as she looked the man up and down, suspicion and confusion mingling across her face. "What do you mean by that?"
His smirk widened, proud as could be. "I mean it literally."
"Don't tell me… are you saying you were the one who leaked that information?"
"Pleasure to meet you." Liam gave a dramatic little bow of his head and even dared to pat Renee on the head like a puppy. "Our boss is really getting smarter these days. I'm so proud."
Renee felt as though her mind had simply exploded. She stared at him, utterly dumbfounded. "You… Why would you do something so pointless? And how do you even know about my brother's past?"
Liam's smile settled into something calmer, more purposeful. "To finish the task he gave me. And, of course…" His eyes flashed with a hint of genuine resentment. "It's mainly because I don't like Stefan Hunt. I backed out of that rivalry of my own free will, and yet he squandered every chance he had to cherish you and stay by your side! And now he actually planned to marry another woman? How could I possibly stand by and not mess with him? How could I face my own conscience otherwise?"
His reply was delivered with such righteous conviction that Renee found herself completely unable to argue. She swallowed her objections and stared at him, curiosity overriding frustration. "Fine. Then tell me — what was the task my brother gave you?"
Liam shrugged casually, as if this bombshell were just another day at the office. "He asked me to find a way to bring H Group's share prices down by ten percent."
He pulled out his phone, flipped to the stock ticker, and proudly showed her H Group's rapid downward plunge. "Looks like I'm about to complete my mission very soon. And once I do, I'll officially be recognized as your brother." A boyish grin spread across his face, the kind of pride that came from wanting a family's approval.
"You guys are so childish…" Renee pinched the bridge of her nose, the beginning of a headache forming. She couldn't even muster the strength to scold him properly. "So that means this was all your doing? Including the whole exposing-my-brother's-face thing?"
"Technically speaking, I ripped Quinton's mask off by accident. I just decided to take that opportunity and go with the flow."
"Go with the flow?"
"Yeah, I know it sounds a little insulting, but Quinton was completely on board with it. He actually wrote most of the article. He even sent me the photo of himself before he was scarred."
"God damn it!" Renee's hand came down on the table as she pinched her forehead, a wave of conflicted emotions washing over her. "Are you two out of your minds? Why would you even do that? Do you have any idea — H Group was about to partner up with Azure Group! This is only going to throw us into even deeper conflict! There's no way they'll ever be able to reconcile now. _Ever._"
Liam tilted his head, genuinely puzzled by her reaction. "Why would you want to reconcile with them in the first place? Boss, you've always been a woman of resolve — when you cut ties, you cut them clean. You've never had trouble letting go… but whenever it comes to that man, you turn into some kind of saint. Don't you think he's already hurt you enough?"
Renee let out a long, heavy sigh. "No, I'm not… I'm doing this for my brother, not for Stefan." Her voice dropped, weighed down by the complexity of the situation. "And there's a key figure in all of this — someone important. But I think Quinton deliberately hid that detail from you…"
The air in the room grew thick with unspoken secrets. Liam's teasing demeanor finally slipped, a flicker of curiosity replacing it. Somewhere beyond the walls of their conversation, the pieces of a far larger game were still shifting into place — and Renee knew that the full truth had yet to surface.

Oh my goodness, what a twist! To think that all along, Liam — the ever-loyal, ever-cheeky right-hand man — was the puppet master behind the chaos, and not only that, he was acting under orders from Renee's own brother! Meanwhile, Renee carries the weight of a hidden truth, hinting at some "key figure" that even Quinton doesn't dare reveal. This chapter blends sweetness and bitterness like those precious cupcakes, and I must say, the emotional depths here are surprisingly moving. Liam's loyalty to Renee, Quinton's silent schemes, and Renee's painful position of juggling family vengeance and business catastrophe — all of it left me completely immersed.
## Reader's Impressions & Rating
This chapter delivers excellent character development and a fascinating revelation that reshapes everything we thought we knew. I love how Liam's motivations aren't just mischief for mischief's sake — there's a deep protective streak toward Renee, which adds real heart to his actions. At the same time, watching Renee struggle between gratitude for her brother's devotion and frustration at his reckless methods gives us emotional complexity. The final cryptic warning about a hidden "key figure" raises the stakes and sets up serious intrigue. This was a thoroughly satisfying read.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
With H Group's shares spiraling downward and Renee hinting that Quinton deliberately concealed a crucial player from Liam, the next chapter is bound to erupt. Renee will likely be forced to confront her brother directly about his dangerous scheming, and the existence of this mysterious key figure could throw a massive wrench into their plans — or perhaps team them up in unforeseen ways. And with Stefan caught in the crossfire between the crumbling H Group and the Azure Group alliance, his next move might be his most desperate yet. Don't miss what comes next!
