Chapter 62: Chapter 62

"What do you mean, it's not an accident?"

Lily was looking at Daniel, puzzled by what had really happened. Daniel just sighed and said, "Marrying your second mother was true to my plan, but her finding me was hers."

"What don't I understand? Can you just tell me? " Lily said, with a tremor in her voice.

Daniel doesn't want to tell her because it's not safe for him and he doesn't want to pass the burden that he feels after all those years. This was not his intention, but he knows that Lily deserves to know all of this.

"Your mother's death was not an accident. Before she died, I had a huge debt to a company that I didn't know I would never be able to pay."

Daniel took a deep breath while his muscles trembled and added, "Your mother didn't die because she was sick. She died because of a car accident. Your..."

"Your mother knew that my car's brakes were messed up because she saw that someone did it and took the car instead of me."

Lily's eyes started to water when she saw the sadness in Daniel's eyes and added, "I don't know how and why that happened. If only I had known and if she had told me, I would have saved both of us. "

"I don't even know what caused her to do that, especially since she knows what will happen to her. Instead, she..."

"took the car and went away. The last thing I knew was that when I got home. Her condition is critical."

Daniel breathed and said, "I decided to never tell you the truth because you are so young."

"And... I'm sorry."

You can see it in Daniel's eyes and sadness, and the shock on Lily's face. They were silent as no one dared go near the living room where they were talking. It was like the whole place was haunted.

Daniel took Lily's hand and placed it in his. The other hand caressed her cheeks and said, "The death of your mother was supposed to be an accident, but it turned out it's not..."

Lily just looked at her father while wiping her tears and said, "But how did you know? How did you come up with this conclusion?"

"Didn't I tell you that meeting your stepmother and marrying her was my plan?" Daniel asked, "But she was aiming for me at that time, even before your mother was still alive."

Lily was still confused and said, "So you're telling me that she was after you all along?"

At Enuvus Technology, Building

Liam was seated on his chair with his hands on his mouth, obviously thinking deeply about the decisions he made today.

Liam Rain Dawnson is one of the most infamous billionaires, and although he does not appear in the press, he is known for being a business jaguar. At the age of 25, he manages to reach the level of his grandfather's business that is now owned by his father, Ramsey Dawnson, called Motion Automotive.

It was the same as his, but no one believed in Liam, so at a young age, when he reached his goal, he didn't dare to talk with certainty that they would not doubt him. So, it was a miracle to make an appointment with Liam Rain Dawnson.

Ramsey hated Liam because his own father wanted his grandson to handle his company, which Ramsey opposed, because he should be the heir, not Ramsey's son, Liam.

But as the old man died, Emelda didn't have the opportunity to stop her son and believed that the business would not be bankrupt under his care.

Ramsey's father wanted to place his grandson, who doesn't have experience in business but has a lot of knowledge about it, as the reason for Ramsey's not caring about him and letting him be on his own.

The reason for their distance to each other, and the sole reason why Liam was doubted by a lot of businessmen because of the false reasons and rumors that his father told everyone about, was that he didn't even get a single investor from his own country, but he got one from another part of the country that really loved his work.

"Excuse me, sir, your meeting will start in 10 minutes."

As Liam got up to his chair and on his way to the meeting room, everyone bowed at his presence as a sign of respect, but the man who'd been paying attention to them before was now looking up at the ceiling as if he saw nothing.

He was a man who cherished everyone's effort and greeting, but now he couldn't as there were a million questions on his mind that he needed to fix.

"I only acted like that because I owe money to Ramsey's company. Please forgive me."

"I was wondering if you knew where Violet was?"

Liam was taken aback because he knew what Lily went through a few years ago and just looked at Daniel mercilessly.

"Please, I need to talk to her, otherwise I don't know who will benefit from the money her mommy worked hard for."

After this scene pLiamed on his mind, Liam shook his head and felt guilty for allowing Daniel to go to her mother's house. Daniel said that he was already there; that was the reason Liam couldn't calm down.

The meeting begins and reaches its end, but Liam still can't calm down and says, "Suzzie, please cancel my appointment for the afternoon."

Suzzie was taken aback as she told Liam she would leave in the afternoon, and said, "But sir—"

"Thank you."

That's all Liam said, leaving Suzzie was stunned and she just sighed and smiled, "If only you didn't pay a lot, Mr. Dawnson...."

"I'm fine, I got this." Suzzie said, walking to her table and making phone calls and charting new appointments.

Liam was driving more aggressively than before, and he was a little bit short-tempered that the traffic jam hit when he was in a hurry. When he reached the house, which took him 30 minutes, he saw that there was a lot of commotion outside.

There were ambulances and police.

For the first time in his history of life, he ran this fast, and when he reached the door, he saw Lily.

She was covered in blood, and Liam didn't know what he was going to feel. He held her tight and said, "What happened?"

Lily looked at Liam with redness in her eyes and said, "My father---"

"He..."

"Was killed by your father..."
