After Liam left, Cynthis looked down at the business card in her hand–Liam Sullivan, the CEO of Sullivan Group. Though Cynthia hadn’t paid. much attention to this area, she had heard of Liam, who was decisive and ruthless, and since taking over Sullivan Group upon reaching adulthood, he had turned it into a leading national enterprise in just a few short years..
Spending a night with such an excellent man was enough to make most people lose their heads with joy, but Cynthia was not one who dreamt of clinging to the coattails of the wealthy. Therefore, she didn’t take Liam’s words to heart.
She composed herself, tossing the card carelessly onto the bed as she stood to get dressed.
Liam left the hotel and went straight back to the Sullivan residence, where his grandparents, Jasmine and David Sullivan, were waiting for him with some tonic soup ready. Seeing him return, they eagerly served up the soup. “Quick, drink it while it’s hot.”

Putting the empty bowl down, Liam warned, “No more schemes in the future.
“When will I get to see my granddaughter–in–law? Jasmine eagerly inquired.
Liam rubbed his temples in frustration, his voice deep. “If you want a granddaughter–in–law, behave yourselves”
