Liam was known for his hard work in the oroginal work who would do anything. After seeing Alex took care of his mother even before he said anything or accepted his offer, a sense of loyalty was instilled in Liam’s mind for Alex that as soon as he accepted the offer, he immediately switched to work mode.
“Sir, what job do you have for me…?” Liam asked, his voice steady, revealing his readiness to dive into new challenges.
“I can start right away!” He looked eager, his eyes almost sparkling with anticipation and loyalty like he really can do anything.
Liam’s eyes and his words made Alex chuckle, impressed by his loyalty drive.
“Good, you’re just the person I need!” Alex said, his smile broadening, feeling confident in his choice.
“Okay, let’s not waste time…” Alex’s tone turned serious, focusing on the task at hand.
“Go and start a new company now. The Reid Industries will give you all the money you need for your research and data!” Alex explained, clapping Liam on the shoulder, signaling trust in his abilities.
“While you’re doing your research, you’ll also be the CEO of this new company!” Alex added, watching Liam’s expression for any sign of surprise or doubt.
“Starting a new company…?” Liam’s brows furrowed slightly, trying to piece together the plan.
“With money from the Reid Industries?” His voice carried a hint of confusion, but his mind was racing.
“Sir, do you want me to make a fake company?” Liam speculated, his quick mind catching up to Alex’s intentions. “Are you planning to take money from somewhere using this fake company?” He asked, his tone cautious, not fully understanding yet but eager to clarify.
Liam, being smart in business, understood Alex’s plan right away. Alex nodded, his expression one of approval.
“Exactly what I’m thinking!” Alex confirmed, his face showing he was pleased with Liam’s quick comprehension.
“But, Sir…” Liam hesitated, seeking further clarification.
“Just know I want to take some money through this company, that’s enough for you to know…” Alex reassured him, his gaze firm, indicating it was a matter of trust.
“Don’t worry about where the money comes from or how we’ll get it. Your job is to run the company and do your research!” Alex’s voice was commanding, laying out the expectations clearly.
“Work on that tech you had to stop because of your mom’s sickness… and do it as fast as you can!” Alex’s eyes were intense, pushing Liam to remember his past project.
“Huh…” Liam’s initial shock was visible as he processed the mention of his secret project.
Liam was surprised when Alex talked about his secret project. But he soon relaxed, realizing it was easy for someone like Alex to find out about his secrets.
“I understand, Sir!” Liam nodded, his resolve hardening. “I’ll start working immediately from today…” His voice was determined, ready to tackle the new challenge.
Liam decided not to think about it anymore and got ready to work.
“Wait!” Alex’s voice stopped him mid-turn.
“One more thing: everything you invent at the company is owned by the Reid Industries!” Alex’s tone left no room for negotiation.
“Also, name the company ‘JoySync’.” He added, watching for Liam’s response.
“If anyone wants to put money into your company, you must ask for One Hundred Fifty Million dollars!” Alex’s eyes gleamed with strategic intent.
“Got it, Sir!” Liam responded, his mind already calculating the implications.
After their quick chat, Alex gave Liam some phone numbers to finish the job before he left, leaving Liam to ponder over the new company.

On the other side, Lily had taken important papers from the Reid Industries and gave them to Ethan right away after getting those papers, her heart racing with the thrill of her recent act.
Ethan, looking at the new plans of the Reid Industries after reading the documents Lily gave him, he felt very happy, a smile spreading across his face.
“Ethan, with these papers…” Lily’s voice was eager, hoping to see justice served. “You can make things right for Rose, right?” Her eyes were wide, filled with hope.
“Alex is so Arrogant…” Her voice dipped into anger, recalling the injustice. “He sent Rose, whom you loves, to jail!” She clenched her fists, her loyalty to Ethan evident.
“You have to make him pay!” Her tone was fierce, unaware of the irony in her words, given Alex was once her most caring brother.
Ethan had been in high spirits until Rose was brought into the conversation. His mood darkened, and anger flickered across his handsome face.
“Yes… Alex is fully out of his mind?” Ethan murmured to himself, his voice laced with incredulity.
“Such a beautiful girl like… Rose…” He shook his head, the thought of Rose’s plight in prison stirring his protective instincts.
“He actually had the audicity to send her to prison.” His fists clenched, knuckles whitening with the intensity of his emotion.
“He must be out of his mind fully!” He spat out the words, his usual calm demeanor replaced by a cold resolve.
Ethan indeed planned to seek justice for Rose, but not with underhanded methods. Being the protagonist, he believed in facing challenges head-on and achieving victory through it.
He pushed aside the stolen documents, his eyes meeting Lily’s with a look of firm unwavering will.
“Thank you for your help Lily!” His gratitude was sincere, but his voice bore a steely edge.
“But to defeat Alex, I don’t need such despicable methods.” He stood taller, his posture exuding confidence.
“I’ll beat him fair and square!” Ethan declared, his voice echoing with the promise of an honorable battle.
That was after he already read the documents.
Lily was visibly moved by his declaration, her eyes sparkling with admiration for Ethan like she had fallen for him even more than before.
“Wow, you really are the man I admire, Ethan…” She clasped her hands together, her heart fluttering.
“You’re so manly!” Her cheeks flushed slightly, caught up in the moment.
“So cool!” She added, her voice almost a whisper of awe.
“But, Ethan, how do you plan to defeat Alex? Can I help you with anything?” Lily tilted her head, eager to assist.
