Chapter 18 Traitorous Brat

Upon hearing this Madeline smiled lightly and answered. "Little brother, I think you have amnesia. Don't you know it was you who killed uncle Lewis and wanted to take over Lewis group business?"

"But I found out and took the hold of the situation on your behalf. But now you are standing against me and blaming me. How rightful? Do you think if it weren't for my painstaking efforts over the past seven years, Lewis group would be standing where it is today?"

Madeline's calm voice coupled with her twisted words made people tongue-tied, they sighed in their hearts. She can definitely speak black as white like the back of her hands. Who doesn't know Liam's father was killed by Madeline in confluence with other families.

Even if they knew about the truth, they didn't try to speak up fearing Madeline's and the three families' wrath. They didn't want to get dragged into this.

Liam smiled when he heard Madeline's sophisticated words. He didn't want to end this that fast. If he just instantly kills the felons then it would be too small of a punishment for them. That's why he doesn't want to kill them now.

"When you came to my Lewis family back then, you were just a secretary and now... I admire your disguising ability; if you were an actress you would have surely won an Oscar for your acting skills," he said with a smile.

"I remember my father's words when he said that you came from a slum-like area but I didn't believe it at that time. Now it seems I was wrong." Liam sighed and narrated.

"You drugged and killed your own uncle and now you are trying to do the same to me. But you made a mistake by letting me escape; you should have just killed me when you got the chance, but now it's too late."

After hearing Liam's narration everyone was shocked except a small number of people who knew about this.

Those who knew about the inside story were very calm when listening to this. These businessmen and celebrities knew how Madeline was from inside.

Back then she and other big families conspired against the Lewis family to seize its power and business by vicious means. They tried to hide this matter but people still found out. However, they still decided to remain silent.

After all, what can't she do? She had already killed her uncle for his property. They knew If they tried to go against her their end would be the same.

After listening and Considering Liam's remarks, she still smiled but didn't continue to pretend. "Little brother, those who frustrate me didn't live to see another day. But I am surprised that you decided to return. Why bother to come and due?"

Liam disregarded Madeline's threat and said calmly, "Even if you don't say anything, I know who was involved in the matter of my father's death. However, I am very interested! What did you say to them to make them lend you a hand."

"I don't think they will just accept to follow your plans without knowing its dangers!"

After listening to Liam's calm words Madeline's face turned ugly.

"Liam, don't think you can come and bark here as you wish." she bellowed at Liam.

At this time a young man in a suit emerged from the crowd, walking arrogantly and stood beside Madeline, casting a provocative gaze at Liam.

"Look! Isn't that Ryan Baker?" someone commented.

"What? Where?"

"There beside Miss Madeline!"

"Ryan Baker? Isn't he a young master of one of the top families, the Baker family?"

"Oh yeah! I forgot he would also participate in this banquet with the young master of the Morgen family and the young master of Collins would also have participated if he was here, but he is out there studying and only the second son remains here but I guess he didn't come."

Liam looked at Ryan coldly in his eyes.

From this look, Ryan who was acting all arrogant and high felt like he fell into an ice cave. His whole body turned numb from head to toe!

It seems like Ryan didn't face anyone who can scare him to this degree. After all, he is the son of one of the influential families who can act arrogant in front of him? But now it seems he found his match.

However, he still didn't back down. After coming closer to Madeline and gathering some courage he shouted, his eyes burning with a fury that could burn who looked in those eyes. "You hurry up and scream! Just like back then. You can still keep.." he couldn't complete his sentence when Liam interrupted him midway.

"Did your Baker family have anything to do with my father's death?" he asked Ryan after interrupting him.

"I haven't come to look for you yet. But you decided to come out on your own. Seems like you are in a hurry to die!" Liam raised his head and said in a calm voice.

At this moment, all the guests were literally shocked. They didn't believe Liam was planning to go against all the big forces of London.

To save his face Ryan didn't back down, gritting his teeth he came forward and just as he was about to argue with Liam, Samuel walked beside Liam with a dagger in his hands.

Looking at Samuel who was still covered in blood from the previous battle.

Maybe battle is an embellishment, it was simply a massacre.

*Thud!*

Ryan who hadn't seen this kind of thing. His legs wobbled like jelly and he collapsed on the floor.

"It... It's not my Baker family. It was Madeline who offered to promise Lewis family shares in return for our help!" Ryan panicked and spoke up suddenly. It was as if his mouth had run by itself.

*Phew!~*

Everyone present took a cold breath after listening to Ryan's confession. Although they knew it, it still came as a surprise. They turn to look at Madeline's reaction.

"Ryan! You traitorous brat! How dare you?" she screamed at Ryan; Madeline's expression became hideous after being betrayed by Ryan, She was extremely furious at this time.

Watching Madeline become angry all the dignitaries present were baffled. It was not possible to see her like this.

Today is surely full of surprises!
