Liam had put the phone call on speaker, so everyone in the room heard the conversation just now.
Upon hearing Miss Hill's words, the four people in the room fell dead silent.
They had been waiting here to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony with their hearts full of joy. Who would have
expected such a serious thing to happen? Their 300-million worth of investment had gone down the drain within
just three days!
Helen was so panic-stricken that her face was streaming with sweat. "W-Why would this happen? Didn't you say
that this investment was sure to make money? Why was the project suddenly halted? Liam, y- you must explain
towhat exactly is going on here!"
Lian was sweating profusely as well. "Mom, I-I also have no idea what is going on. This investment is backed by
the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff, so... how could it have failed? There must be something wrong with this.
Just stay calm while | call somebody to ask about it. The Lach Family is tremendously powerful as it's one of the

make the call, then!"
Liam took out his cell phone and asked around anxiously. Finally, he got the news from a friend of his.
As it turned out, the Lach Family had been caught in an internal struggle ever since Old Mr. Lach passed away
half a month ago.
Being ganged up against by his siblings, Young Master Lach's father was in danger of losing his position as the
current head of the Lach Family. Such circumstances had caused Young Master Lach to be short of capital.
Wanting to help his father strengthen his position and take control of the Lach Family, Young Master Lach raised
funds everywhere. However, just two days ago, his father died unexpectedly in a car accident on his way home
from a business trip.
With that, his father lost the internal struggle completely, causing Young Master Lach to be regarded by his
uncles as an enemy due to his status as the Lach Family's heir.
This development project of his was problematic in the first place. Seizing the opportunity, Young Master Lach's
uncles launched an attack on him, causing the development project to be halted. As a result, Young Master Lach
was arrested.
In other words, the Lach Family certainly wouldn't care about Young Master Lach at this point, and this
development project of his was definitely finished. This development project was what the Lach Family was using
against him, so how could the Lach Family possibly resit?
Having heard the news, Liam slumped to the floor right away.
He knew that the 300 million he had invested was considered to be lost. Young Master Lach misappropriated the
money and would surely be sentenced to prison for it. Having made a clean break with him, the Lach Family
definitely wouldn't take on his debts.
In other words, he didn't even know who he could ask to get the transferred money back!
James and the other two were stupefied as well. Sitting beside Liam on the sofa in a daze, they didn't cto
their senses for a long time.

"W-What should we do now?" asked Demi in a trembling voice.
Liam hung his head without saying a word.
Flopping onto the floor with a plop, Helen wailed, "Oh, no. We're doomed this time! So we lost the 300 million
just like that? Why am | subjected to such misfortune? Why would | have a worthless son-in-law like you? Just
look at what you have done! G-Give the 300 million back to me..."
Feeling embarrassed, Liam replied, "Mom, t-this can't be blamed solely on me. | didn't know that such a thing
would happen. Young Master Lach did this. Besides, who would have known that such a thing would happen to
the Lach Family? I-I'm also a victim!"
James scolded, "Stop talking rubbish! It was you who assured us back then that this investment would absolutely
make a lot of money, so you must bear the responsibility for it right now!"
Liam panicked upon hearing his words. "Dad, t-this is 300 million we're talking about! How am | going to bear the
debt? It wasn't my sole decision to invest the money. We decided together to make the investment, so how could
you letbear the debt alone?"
James rebutted, "What do you mean by saying so? Do you wantand your Mom to share the debt with you?"
