Harry was observing his dad, who was busy reprimanding the legal team of his company.
It shocked Harry to know about how Eva stood in front of his dad. He always had a soft corner for Eva in his heart; he thought her to be a naïve, sweet girl, but since he came to know about her real identity and her marriage with Stephen, his thoughts changed about her.
It’s difficult to say that Eva is such a money-oriented woman, but she already proved it by taking hold of the properties that rightfully belong to him and his dad.
Harry saw the leg team leaving the study room with an upset face, and Iiam was quick to make a drink for himself.
Because of his father’s habits, Harry’s mother was constantly in pain, which caused Harry to hold no respect for his dad. Many affairs and sex scandals are part of Liam's life. Despite having a family and living in a community, he showed no care or concern for their welfare or safety. It wasn’t until Harry’smother died of depression three years ago that he cared for his family, or even his wife, which he had never done before. Having reached his breaking point, it compelled Harry to move out and start a new chapter of his life, pursuing his own goals and dreams in a different home.
However, when Liam suffered from a heart attack last year, he had to reach himself as there was no one else in the family left to do so.
Liam expressed deep remorse for his actions towards his wife and begged Harry to move in with him. Although he did not agree with the career choice of Harry, Iiam knew very well any kind of objection from his side would cost him losing his only heir, so he agreed with Harry’s dream of opening a restaurant. Even he kept quiet when his son attended a culinary class.
At the present time, Harry was looking at hiswho was gulping the alcohol like his life depended on it.
"Dad, stop this. You already consumed a lot, and it’s not beneficial for your health either.”
Liam gave a look at Harry and his features turned soft. ” What can I do now?" that bitch snatched the position that rightfully belongs to me. You didn’t see her today for a moment. I thought Lisa was standing in front of me, weakness. She is just like her mother, a strong-headed, stubborn woman.
But still, I get rid of her just because of her one weakness, that foolish Michael for whom she agreed to leave her share in the property."
Liam tried to play the same card with Eva too when he tried to kill Michael in an accident but to his shock rather than getting afraid for his life, Michael went ahead with the marriage of Eva and Stephen. Liam could not disclose his deeds to him, as he would never support him in his evil intentions. So he just made up a fake story, in which Lisa is a fool who fell in love with greedy Michael and made sure that Harry should believe his words about them.
“Dad, it’s important to keep in mind that while getting a position is one thing, the real challenge comes in maintaining it over the long term. Although Eva currently holds the position , she is still quite naive and lacks experience. Therefore, I am confident that she cannot maintain the position for long and it will soon be available to you again.”
Liam chuckled, “Nothing is going to happen like that, as she has a powerful support, her husband, Stephen Smith.
Don’t you remember how cleverly he snatched your dream project just because you had an argument with his love interest? So you can relate how shrewd that man is.”
Harry sighed as his dad was stating the facts. A wave of wrath passes through him, speaking of his dream project. How much he has invested in that restaurant but at a last moment the deal didn’t work out and soon they came to know that Stephen smith is behind it
“So tell me, what can you do? Wasting yourself in alcohol will not help you, Dad.”
'Yeah, you are right but you could help me with this."
“Me? How?”
“You were friends with her before, right? Then you should make her understand she is not doing the right thing .”
"Hmm, come on,and you think she will agree with me ?”
“ Although it might not be a smooth process, she will definitely listen and heed to what you have to say. It is important that you inform her about Stephen’s ulterior motive, which is to use her to gain control of our empire. It may be necessary to disclose that he will resort to emotional manipulation to achieve his goal. “
Think she will believe me? I already warned her about this once, but still she got married to Stephen.
“I know my son, but you know, no matter what disputes we carry between us, the truth will be she is your cousin, and you should try to stop her from getting into the trap of the Smith family. Else whatever you wish for, I will not force you."
Declaring this, Liam left for his room, leaving Harry in deep thoughts.
Smith mansion
Rose arranged a dinner treat to celebrate Eva’s success. Other than family, Richard and Samantha were also invited. Eva suggested inviting Samantha, as it’s her training that worked for her today. So she wants to share this success with her too.
At the dinner table, Steve was the most upset one, as once again, two women were ready to trouble him. So he ignored Samantha’s presence and save himself from trouble
Richard again praised Eva. “Trust me, dear, I am thrilled for you. Facing Liam Hudson is not an effortless thing, but you nailed it, girl.”
“ Thank you, but this could not be possible without the support of Stephen. He was the one who had faith in me.
