Chapter 163

Jenny's voice carried a hint of melancholy as she spoke, "What choice do I have but to give it to you? Should I wait for you to beat me to death? My grandpa and parents died because of this book. I can't let my brother and I suffer the same fate." Liam considered her words for a moment and then nodded slightly. "You have a valid point. To possess something valuable often invites trouble.

"Since you've handled it over so willingly, there's no need for me to resort to violence. Well then, I'll be on my way. Goodbye."

With that, Liam signaled his men, and they followed him out of the clinic.

Matthew felt a wave of relief wash over him. The plan had worked smoothly, and the siblings were finally safe from the threats looming over them.

As Liam and his men walked away, Cosmo watched them with a gaze filled with bitterness and hatred far too intense for a child his age.

As Liam and his men reached the entrance of the clinic, Jenny suddenly felt a surge of pent-up frustration and shouted, "Liam!"

Liam stopped in his tracks and slowly turned to face her, his expression wary. "Regretting your decision?" he asked.

Matthew's heart skipped a beat, sensing the tension rising. Everything had been going smoothly, and now he was anxious about what Jenny might say next. He silently hoped she wouldn't mess things up.

Jenny shook her head, her voice steady but laced with curiosity. "No, I just want to know why do you want that book so badly. Are you really going to study it?"

Liam's eyebrows lifted slightly in surprise as if he hadn't expected such a straightforward question. The polite smile he had worn earlier faded, replaced by a look of smug confidence.

His demeanor shifted noticeably, taking on an air of arrogance and superiority. Even his tone changed, becoming colder and more condescending.
