Chapter 789:
For the past two days, whenever Liam wasnât asleep, heâd scoured the internet, hoping for any mention of his connection to Harlee.
But after two days, there was nothing.
Liam realized it could only mean one thing.
Either Harlee or Rhys had ensured his name stayed buried. Otherwise, with the internetâs penchant for drama, how could they not drag him into the spotlight?
Regret gnawed at Liam.
He finally began to grasp Harleeâs worth, and his mistreatment of her had cost him everything. If he had walked away gracefully, he might have salvaged some respect. Now, he didnât even have the dignity of being acknowledged.
Liam sighed deeply, finally understanding that it was too late to fix what he had destroyed with his own hands.
In Gruinia, as soon as Jonathanâs orders were issued, the fraud syndicateâs leaders, Margo Jensen and Wesson Jensen, were released.
In her hotel room, Margo exuded an air of calm authority, puffing on a cigar as if unfazed by her time in prison. The officers who brought her in showed her nothing but respect.
âMrs. Jensen, the President has resolved the matter. I can assure you that Interpol wonât pursue you further,â Sprague said, bowing slightly.
Margo, the highest leader of the fraud syndicate and Harleeâs nemesis, sat on the sofa, casually nodding.
âThank you, Sprague. Tell the President that Iâll handle what he wants.â

Her words were polite, but her tone was indifferent, showing no respect for Sprague. Sprague noted her blatant disregard for the President but chose not to dwell on it.
His job was simply to relay the message.
âIâll pass along your words to the President,â he said, his tone modest and self-effacing.
Spragueâs demeanor made it seem like he was Margoâs subordinate. In reality, within Mogluylia, he had the authority to end her life with a single command.
Margo dismissed Sprague with a wave of her hand. Once Sprague left, Wesson emerged from the shadows with an air of nonchalance.
âWhy poke the bear, Margo? Of all the men in the world, you had to antagonize Jonathan? Thanks to you, I spent a few nights locked up.â Stretching lazily, Wesson added, âJail really isnât my style. My bodyâs stiff, and I need to blow off some steam.
Donât bother me at the crucial moment.â
His grin carried a hint of mischief.
âAnd donât let us die out before the next generation arrives, alright?â
Margo understood her younger brotherâs insinuation.
âFine, go ahead. Take two weeks off.â
âSeriously? Youâre not joking?â
Margo posed a question.
âWesson, do you find something off?â
Wesson paused, his expression thoughtful.
âYou mean Jonathan tracking us down? Yeah, itâs strange.
He shouldnât have known where to look.â
