Driven by the prospect of forging a valuable connection, Mrs. Katherine stood up from her seat and made her way over to where Liam and the tycoon had been seated. Determined to establish a rapport with the enigmatic duo, Katherine approached the table, her elegant presence attracting the attention of those around her.

Hello gentlemen," Anderson Katherine said, her elegant presence attracting the attention of those around her, "I'm Anderson Katherine, the owner of Anderson Corporation."She exuded an air of confidence that commanded attention, and her presence was as captivating as it was unexpected.

Despite her internal turmoil, Katherine maintained her cool composure on the surface, her years of corporate training kicking in to keep her in check. However, her rage towards Liam was building like a storm within her.

Suddenly, the dam broke. Katherine exploded, her voice rising above the din of the restaurant as she unleashed her fury on Liam.

You!" Katherine shouted at Liam, her voice piercing the silence that had descended upon the room. "I knew you were nothing but a leech, begging for scraps from those more powerful than you."

She stood from her seat, her eyes blazing with indignation as she pointed an accusatory finger at Liam. "You have no shame, no pride. You would crawl on your belly like a worm if it meant gaining even a sliver of power."

The room was stunned into silence, the shock and tension palpable in the air.

Emily, who had been watching the heated exchange between her mother and Liam with growing fury, finally joined in, her voice lashing out at Liam like a whip. She launched a litany of scathing insults at him, leaving no doubt as to her contempt for him.She branded him a no-good leech, highlighting his status as a mere live-in son-in-law, implying that he was unworthy of the family's kindness. Emily's face was contorted with fury, her eyes aflame with an intensity that reflected the depths of her anger and resentment.

Do you think you're something special?" Emily spat, her voice dripping with disdain. "You're nothing but a pathetic excuse for a man, a useless wretch who came begging for a place in our family.

"And look at you now, strutting around like you own the world, preying on the good graces of those with power and influence,You are a disgrace, Liam , You will never be anything more than a parasite, feeding off the kindness of others. You will never know true power or success,Caught between her loyalties and her feelings, Hazel struggled to reconcile her responsibilities to her husband and family with her own heart's desire. She was frozen in place, watching the harsh words fly, as her love for Liam simmered beneath the surface. She chose to stay silent, not to make waves, even as her heart ached to protect Liam from the onslaught.

Hazel's face remained expressionless, hiding the turmoil that swirled within her. But deep down, she longed to offer Liam the safety and comfort he so clearly needed. Still, her sense of duty held her back, preventing her from doing so.
