Even in Darkness, She Chose to Rise

Chapter 629 Tailored Minds

Liam had initially only intended to speak in passing, treating the conversation entirely as a temporary outlet to vent his frustrations.

E

Yet, the sparse remarks Tatiana injected into the conversation struck an absolute chord in his heart.

He even experienced a bizarre sensation.

It felt as though she completely structured his private thoughts, aligning with his perspective to a remarkable degree.

Their minds moved in sync. Most of the time, he didn’t even need to say it out loud-she just knew. She could pinpoint exactly what he was thinking before he did it.

The longer they conversed, the brighter his eyes became.

By the end of the discussion, the gaze he leveled at her was filled with genuine admiration, entirely detached from the typical dynamics between a man and a woman.

“How exactly did you know I was planning to handle it that way?”

Tatiana feigned absolute ignorance. “Hmm? As it turns out, you harbor the exact same thoughts?”

Liam narrowed his eyes, a sudden question breaking through his lips. “Did you orchestrate this entirely on purpose?”

“Deliberately attempting to act as the psychic reader of your internal thoughts? You possess a remarkably dry sense of humor.”

Liam let out a genuine, relaxed laugh, making not a single effort to mask the profound admiration in his eyes.

Tatiana recognized that she had pushed far enough for one evening. Continuing the interaction would only risk making her intentions far too transparent, so she smoothly offered a parting

here was simply no such thing as a natural soulmate or a flawless coincidence in the real orld; in reality, it was always a matter of one individual operating with absolute malicious ntent while the other remained entirely oblivious.

It functioned exactly like a meticulously tailored trap.

Letting out a heavy breath, she practically immersed herself in the data wall, reviewing Liam’s history over and over again, completely determined to transform herself into his ultimate confidant.

A man of his stature would never tether his heart to an individual solely based on physical allure. Once the initial surge of hormones dissolved, superficial beauty turned into nothing more than a hollow topic, especially considering that Liam’s former wife was a celebrated, award-winning actress.

She harbored no inherent desire to employ such manipulative tactics, but the Langstrom family had entirely pulverized the Jackson family, and they showed zero intentions of halting their campaign.

The Langstrom family.

She would never grant them mercy.

When Liam arrived back at the family estate, his mood remained remarkably pleasant.

“Sir, your father requested your presence in the study.”

“Understood.”

Shifting his course immediately, he walked directly toward the study door.

“Father.”

“Take a seat.”

Jack was currently focused on practicing his calligraphy, keeping his eyes locked onto the parchment.

This functioned as his primary indulgence, and the room was completely decorated with examples of his personal script.

Liam settled himself casually into a rosewood armchair, personally tending to the tea arrangements.

Jack executed the final stroke of his characters, set his brush aside, and wiped his hands with a towel before gesturing toward the desk. “Review these.”

Only then did Liam notice a thick manila envelope resting right beside his hand.

Unfastening the seal, he pulled out a stack of photographs.

Every single image displayed a different woman.

His expression turned thoroughly rigid in an instant.

“Father, what is the meaning of this?”

“I believe my intentions are entirely transparent.”

“I only finalized my divorce a brief period ago.”

“You are by no means young anymore. For your initial marriage, I permitted you to follow your

own desires, yet look at the absolute disaster you managed to create.”

Liam pressed a hand against his brow, entirely unable to offer a counterargument.

Back then, he had indeed been completely unyielding in his determination to marry. While genuine affection had certainly existed, the choice had predominantly functioned as an expression of youthful rebellion against his father’s absolute control.

Ending the relationship in a divorce had essentially been an expected outcome.

His focus remained entirely dedicated to his political advancement, whereas Shangxue had demanded his complete, undivided personal attention. He simply possessed zero emotional bandwidth to satisfy her expectations, and over time, she had chosen to betray his trust.

The incident had transformed into a highly public, embarrassing spectacle.
