Chapter 1152
But this wasn’t enough to make Tyler out of the inheritance. She made Liana get close to Tyler, made
Lians fall for him, and then used Liana’s feelings to reel Tyler In. She figured, once Llana and Tyler
were head over heels for each other. A guy like Tyler wouldn’t be able to resist Liana’s charm.
But Tyler, the stubbom mule that he was, didn’t fall for Liana no matter how hard they tried. Even when
Karan had subtly hinted for Liana to make her move in his bathroom and bedroom. Tyler didn’t fall for it
Karan thought her plan was going down the drain until she spotted Tyler sneaking into Liana’s room
one night.
She quietly trailed after him and saw Tyler standing by Liana’s bed, staring at her for the longest time
before he suddenly leaned in and kissed her. He locked just like a kid who’d been caught with his hand
in the cookie jar.
Seeing signs of Tyler’s feelings for Liana, Karan knew her plan was halfway to victory Tyler grew

any further.
Karan was waiting for the day Tyler would screw it up, but she didn’t see Hackett’s dispute with his
father about his career choice coming Karan was blindsided. Even after Tyler’s reputation was in the
gutter, Hackett still hadn’t given up on making Tyler his heir. When she heard Hackett say that Tyler
would take over the family business if he chose to major in finance, she started to panic.
She didn’t plan for all these years just to have Tyler become the heir. What she wanted was for her own
son to take over. If Tyler got his hands on the power, she’d be a nobody in the Howell family, possibly
even sidelined by Tyler. She was afraid Tyler would find ways to get back at his mother once he grew
up.
To halt Tyler’s rise, Karan thought about drugging him, coercing him into sleeping with Liana. But then
Jules brought Liana home, and Karan saw her chance.
She immediately pushed Liana towards Jules, creating opportunities for them to be alone together,
deliberately making Tyler jealous. Karan knew that once a young boy gets jealous, he’s likely to lose
his temper and make a mistake.
But Tyler was tough. Even when he saw Jules coming out of Liana’s room a few times, he chose to
ignore it. Karan was at her wits end, so she kept on stoking the fire. By the time they were about to
graduate high school, she started openly and secretly encouraging Jules to confess his feelings to
Liana.
At that time, Jules liked Liana but was afraid she didn’t feel the same. Karan told him that if Liana didn’t
like him, she would have rejected him a long time ago. She must be shy. In reality, Karan was
persuading Liana not to turn Jules down, but Jules was none the wiser. He took Karan’s word for it and
confessed to Liana on a ferry, which was also Karan’s idea.
Karan waited for Jules to take Liana on the ferry, then found Tyler and told him Jules was going to ask
Liana to be his girlfriend. Then they were going to travel the world by boat. To give Tyler the push he
needed, Karan grinned at him and said, “Who knows if they’ll get too close after spending two months
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtogether like that. If they do, Liana will marry Jules. They make quite the couple. Tyler went pale with
rage, cursing Liana for being as shameless as Karan before running off like a madman.
Karan wasn’t sure if the furious Tyler would deal with Liana himself or send someone after her. But
judging by what she knew of Tyler, he’d choose the latter because he was torn between hatred and
fondness for Liana. He might not even be aware of his fondness, which made his hatred for Liana even
stronger.
Luckily she guessed right. That dimwit Tyler actually thought Liana was going to ruin off with another
man. He thought a woman like Liana couldn’t be without a man. So he sent a bunch of guys to scare
her, which ended up working in Karan’s favor
To let those guys have their way, Karan had someone injure the old butler who had raised Tyler, then
tricked the butler into calling Tyler to come back and help. The butler was probably knocked out. He
held his bleeding head and quickly called Tyler, who was a skilled doctor.
Tyler probably never knew this was his own doing. But whether he knew or not, Karan couldn’t help but
laugh every time she thought about this coincidence. How could he be so stupid?
