Chapter 499:

Liza’s relentless criticisms of Harlee angered Lonnie, who rarely reacted.

He found it hard to contain his displeasure.

He fixed Liza with an icy gaze and said calmly, “I’m struggling to see how someone who manages Janessa Studio and works as an engineer for the National Aerospace Agency could be considered inferior to one whose only talent is staying close to her grandmother at home.”

Lonnie’s sharp retort sent the room into a wave of stifled laughter.

“Precisely! Mrs. Liza Morgan must have been in the countryside for too long.

Her perspective has clearly shrunk.

Claiming Janessa Studio’s head is inferior to her granddaughter is embarrassing!” someone remarked mockingly.

“No, you’re mistaken! Her understanding has always been limited. She probably has no idea what Janessa Studio is!”

“Ha-ha! Then if we mention the National Aerospace Agency engineer, surely she can’t feign ignorance?” The sound of Liza’s cane striking the floor again cut through the growing laughter, her glare a clear warning.

But no one paid her any mind. In fact, the laughter only grew louder.

For years, everyone whispered that her inaction had led to Cade’s death.

Despite the wealth she still possessed, they knew the power truly rested with Wilton.

Having spent years in the countryside, Liza was no longer the respected Mrs. Morgan of the past.

She was now a shadow of her former self.

Liza’s cheeks reddened with a mix of shame and fury. She despised Cade for painting her negatively even in death, for squandering her youth, and for tormenting her in her later years. She felt no remorse, never contemplating that if she hadn’t taken her time getting dressed before seeking medical help for Cade, he might have lived, and her position would have remained intact.

But Liza never regretted what she had done. In fact, she secretly wished Cade had passed away sooner.

Their union had always been a contractual one, and although they maintained the appearance of civility, they secretly loathed each other, which was why they only had Wilton. Wilton was the product of her manipulation. To be more precise, Wilton was their only legitimate heir. Liza had personally taken care of Cade’s other children and his long-lost first love.

Cade had only uncovered this secret before his death, but, sadly, he was unable to do anything, as Liza had intentionally delayed his medical treatment.

Liza’s expression returned to its usual composure as she reentered the present moment. She surveyed the room with a cold gaze, still exuding authority.

“Mr. Flores, I believe you’re working on a real estate project you’d like to develop, correct? Mr. Loftus, the game the Morgan Group invested in lost money. Where is the information I asked for? Mr. Perry, you speak so eloquently. Why did you only beg for my investment when your family’s needs were at stake?”
