The private luxury estate of the Williams family.
As soon as you step through the entrance, the manor exudes a romantic yet solemn atmosphere. The towering halls, the magnificent gates, the arched windows, and the stone masonry at the corners all radiate elegance.
The pale gray stucco walls, combined with light red roof tiles, the continuous arches and corridors, and the living room with its tall windows, stir a sense of restlessness in anyone who enters.
Henry Williams, seated in the living room, was interrogating the butler with a dark expression. "The young master hasn't been home for two days. What have you been doing? It's really your fault, Oliver. What has he been up to lately? Leaving home for two days without a single word?"
Butler Oliver didn't know much. Besides, the servants didn't dare to ask too many questions about what the master wanted to do. "It's just that the day before yesterday, he was like the young master..."
"Master, I remember. The day before yesterday, the young master asked me to send the household register. I saw him that day..." Oliver said submissively.
"Household register? What does he want with that?" Henry was full of doubt. Liam never told him in advance what he was doing.
Even when he joined the special forces, as a father, Henry was the last to know.
Thinking of this, Henry pursed his lips.
"I don't know. The young master only said it was urgent. Then I sent the household register to the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Oh... by the way, I saw the young master with a young girl at that time." Oliver's voice wasn't loud, but Henry caught every key word.
Household register? Civil Affairs Bureau? Young girl?
Although Henry was old, he could easily connect these three key words.
This boy... could he be secretly getting married behind everyone's back?
You little brat, do you think your wings are hard now? It's fine to mess around, but this?
Henry knocked his cane heavily on the floor. "I don't want to hear excuses. Tomorrow, if you don't find Liam, you'll all be fired one by one."
"Dad, what are you so angry about so early in the morning?"
It was Henry's youngest son, Benjamin Williams, who spoke.
He arrived at the entrance, rubbed his feet, and changed his slippers without bending his waist. When he saw Henry, a smile still lingered on his lips.
After changing his shoes, he swaggered into the living room.
When the servants saw him, they all bowed their heads and said respectfully, "Good morning, Second Young Master."
Looking up, they saw his handsome face, as angular as a carving. Although his appearance seemed unrestrained, the sharpness in his eyes was not to be underestimated. Beneath his sword-like brows, a pair of slender peach blossom eyes were full of charm. His high nose bridge and lips of just the right thickness were curved into a dazzling smile.
To be honest, Benjamin and Liam were similar. After all, they were brothers.
It was just that their personalities were quite different.
Benjamin belonged to the bohemian playboy type. His mind was quick, but sometimes, people couldn't guess his thoughts. He seemed cheerful on the surface, but his heart was hard to read.
Liam, on the other hand, was meticulous, resolute, and sometimes overbearing. His whole being exuded the air of a king.
Henry raised his eyes and looked at him. As soon as Benjamin appeared, Henry became even angrier. "How dare you come back? Ah Chen, can't you learn to do something in the company like your brother? All day long, you go out and indulge in drunkenness. Go and look at the newspaper headlines yourself. Which day doesn't feature you?"
When he mentioned his mischievous youngest son, Henry had a terrible headache.
It was clear that the two were brothers. Why was the gap so big?
His eldest son, Liam, was calm and composed. His character was very suitable to be the successor of the Williams family. But he was no good at it. He just didn't like managing such a large group and secretly ran off to the special forces to be a soldier.
Although all generations of the Williams family had come from the military, that was a long time ago. Now, society and technology were developing rapidly. The Williams family had gradually shifted from warlords to business and had achieved great success.
Because of a serious injury three years ago, Liam was advised to go home to recuperate.
But Henry had spent a lot of effort to persuade him to manage the Pinnacle Corporation.
And the youngest son was a pure dandy, a playboy!
Benjamin looked at the old man carelessly, put his hands in his pockets, and showed some dissatisfaction on his face. "Dad, you always say I'm a fool and I'm not doing my job. Why don't you share the company with me and let me do my job too, ha!"
After that, he went upstairs with a sneer, regardless of what Henry said. Anyway, no matter what he said, in his father's eyes, he was inferior to his brother Liam!
His expression was as rebellious as ever. Henry was so angry that his blood pressure soared. He wanted to kill him! Damned brat, I'll teach you a lesson later. Now, it's more worrying about the eldest son...
"Oliver, you'd better prepare. I'll go to the company later to see what's going on over there!" Henry got up and went upstairs.
"Alright, Master, I'll go and prepare."
Sunset Community.
Emma Johnson opened her eyes slightly and looked out the window first. Well, the weather seemed very sunny.
Through the pink curtains, the first ray of morning sunlight lazily shone on the edge of the bed.
Emma stretched greatly, and her hand inadvertently gently touched the sleeping Liam.
Surprised, she remembered that her home inexplicably had a man in it. A few days ago, Emma still felt a little uncomfortable, but now... Liam was always shamelessly eating and living at home.
Although Emma regretted it to death, she knew she couldn't get rid of this demon-like man.
So, she tried to persuade herself to treat it with an ordinary heart.
As a result, she gradually learned to live in harmony with this so-called "husband."
Emma lay on the headboard, her hands clutching her chin, and she looked at Liam without saying a word.
For a moment, she was fascinated. This man was really handsome...
"Have you had enough?" The man suddenly squinted. Just as he opened his eyes, he saw two eyes staring at him.
