While She Buried Her Grandfather, He Was Walking Down The Aisle Chapter 08

Liam felt terrible about everything.

I used to belong only to him.

Why did I have to leave?

Years of cutthroat business had made him selfish.

Even though he’d married Natalie, he couldn’t stand seeing me move on.

Natalie could tell he was in a bad mood.

She knew it was because of me. But she never thought I could mean more to him than she

did.

After all, even though she’d left him, he’d stayed devoted to her all these years.

“Liam, how’s Ava doing?”

“Is this beef you had with her because of me? I know she stayed by your side all this time.”

“But I can’t help it, Liam. If I had her family background, I would have chosen you without hesitation. But I don’t.”

Liam’s heart ached at those words.

His story with Natalie was like a drama. Rich bad boy meets poor, innocent girl.

He fell hard for her.

Then his family went bankrupt, and she left.

He thought he’d hate her.

But when they met again, love outweighed the hate.

Too bad I was the one by his side.

If he’d just been honest and said he still loved her, I would have been sad. But I would have

understood.

Instead, he chose the most humiliating way to push me away.

I wasn’t going to accept that.

I took the file Lucas gave me and sent it where it belonged.

The Vance Group was investigated immediately.

The government had been cracking down on organized crime. No one wanted their dirty

laundry aired right now.

But the Vance family got caught first.

Liam thought he was just unlucky.

He believed he’d covered his tracks perfectly.

But you can’t walk by the river without getting your feet wet.

He couldn’t deny it. He’d done those things.

But he wanted to know who was behind it.

The first name came into his mind was me.

Then he thought of Lucas.

The Hart family was in decline. There’s no way they could have found that evidence.

But the Hayes family was thriving under Lucas.

“Ava, you bitch. You teamed up with Lucas against me?”

“You think you can take me down with tricks like that? Don’t be naive.”

He came to find me again. This time, he couldn’t hide his rage. He was like a wild animal, a

furious lion.

Lucas stood beside me, watching him like a hawk.

Of course the evidence wasn’t useless, no matter what Liam said.

The Vance family was under siege. Even long-time allies pulled out.

Liam himself faced prison time.

No amount of anger could change that.

He had to be investigated.

And it turned out he wasn’t innocent or framed.

He had blood on his hands.

In the end, he had to drain his fortune just to stay out of jail.

No one expected the Vance family to go bankrupt twice.

Even I was surprised by this result.

But it actually wasn’t that hard to figure out.

Liam had built his empire in LA by playing both sides.

Once you taste that kind of money, you don’t just walk away.

On the surface, he was a legitimate businessman.

But he still had ties to the underworld.

He had no one to blame but himself.
