Dining room, private room.
Liam was already there, sitting at the dining table, head down, sending messages on his phone. His delicate and fair face was cold, showing a maturity beyond his years.
He heard the private room door open and looked up.
Seeing Victoria enter, Liam smiled shyly, like an innocent young boy unfamiliar with the ways of the world, his eyes full of sincerity as he stood up to greet her, "Sister Victoria!"
Then, seeing Jack following beside Victoria, Liam was dazed for two seconds, taken aback, "President Moore, you're here too? Please, have a seat!"
Jack nodded slightly, his demeanor noble and indifferent.
The three of them sat down.
Liam sat opposite Jack and Victoria, looking apologetic and ashamed as he gazed at Victoria, "Sister, I'm sorry! What happened that night, I'm really sorry!"
"I was not conscious at the time, I didn't know if I offended you... But that was not my intention, I've always respected you! If I were sober, I would never have done anything offensive to you!"
Victoria curled her lower lip and said calmly,
"You didn't do anything that night. Besides, the real reason was that you were deceived and your drink was spiked. So, you don't need to apologize to me again."
Even if Jack and Ralph had not suddenly appeared that night, the unconscious Liam would not have had the opportunity to approach her.
Moreover, Oliver, who planned all of this, had already been imprisoned.
Hearing Victoria's words, Liam still looked guilty.
Victoria didn't dwell too much on what happened that night.
What she was more curious about was, "Liam, why do you always call me sister? You sent me a message before, saying you would tell me the reason during today's meal, so go ahead and tell me now?"
Upon hearing this, Liam picked up the teacup and took a couple of sips. Hesitating or nervous, it took several seconds for him to speak,
"Because... you really resemble my sister, so I can't help but call you that..."
Victoria's eyes lifted slightly, but she didn't respond. She waited for him to continue speaking...
Liam rubbed the teacup in his hand with his thumb, his delicate and fair face full of nostalgia,
"My parents divorced, my sister followed my father, and my mother took me away from that home. At first, I lost contact with my sister, and many years later, I finally got news of her again, quietly following how she was doing in that home..."
"But unfortunately, my father remarried and had another very capable daughter. My sister couldn't compare to her at all, and in the end, my sister was framed and sent to prison by that daughter..."
After hearing this, Victoria's eyes were sharp for a moment, but they quickly returned to calm.
Liam didn't catch the change in Victoria's expression and glanced at Jack, who was sitting next to Victoria.
Jack's expression remained unchanged from start to finish, his posture relaxed as he poured water for Victoria and carefully reminded her, "It's a bit hot."
Victoria smiled warmly, "It's okay."
Then she looked at Liam, signaling him to continue.
Liam lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions in his eyes, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and continued
"My sister is still in prison now, my mother wants to get her out, but we have no power or influence, it's very difficult to rescue my sister..."
"Victoria, I first saw your various deeds in the news, and I thought you were amazing. Moreover, the feeling you gave me, is very similar to my sister."
"So, I really like you, and I've always regarded you as my sister in my heart. Every time I see you, I can't help but call you sister..."
Victoria looked at Liam, who was speaking with his head down, unable to see his eyes, only his black hair.
Victoria's expression was inscrutable, her tone extremely faint as she murmured, "So that's how it is, you and your sister have a good relationship."
Liam nodded lightly, revealing a hint of sadness.
Jack's face remained calm, but the look in his eyes as he looked at Liam was filled with observation and scrutiny, with a hint of icy sarcasm overflowing from the depths of his eyes.
After dinner.
Victoria and Jack got up and left.
Liam's eyes were full of reluctance, and he still wanted to chat with the two of them, especially Victoria.
But without a valid reason, Liam had to wave goodbye, "Sister, goodbye!"
Victoria's lips curved slightly, "Goodbye."
Jack cast a distant glance at Liam and left the private room with Victoria in his arms.
Sitting in the car.
Victoria sat in the passenger seat, rubbing her chin and pondering, "Do you think what Liam said just now is true or false? I think it's fifty and fifty."
Jack's bony hands gripped the steering wheel as he heard the words, and responded with a "Hmm."
Victoria smiled and said, "We really are on the same wavelength!"
It had to be said that she had always been wary of Liam, and it had been subconscious.
Especially when Liam mentioned his sister being imprisoned.
This reminded Victoria of someone...
The light ahead was red.
Jack stopped the car and rubbed her head with his hand, "Don't worry, we've already found out a lot about Liam."
