Chapter 577 Chapter 577: At that thought, Liams face twisted into a cold, mocking smile.
But when the word dad reached his ears, something inside him stirred, softening his heart.
He hadnt expected it, but his heart began to race.
How could he have forgotten? Despite the lack of blood between them, he had once been her father. Something seemed to awaken in his mind, and tenderness surprisingly filled his eyes.
Looking at Harlees beaming face, a quiet voice echoed in Liams mind.
He once had a wonderful and capable daughter.
They could have happily continued their interactions.

Liam couldnt shake the thought that, had it not been for the misfortune he had just endured because of Lonnie, Harlee would have ignored his plight entirely.
She might have even taken grim satisfaction in watching him struggle.
His mouth opened slightly, but no words came.
A bitter feeling welled up inside him, and regret was clear on his face.
Harlee silently wished Liam would stay quiet for good.

Her eyes grew cold as she grabbed his arm, showing no concern for his discomfort.
Saving Liam hadnt been her intention.
Only after realizing Liam was suffering in her fathers place did she grudgingly decide to intervene.
She didnt want her father indebted to someone like Liam.
Harlee hauled Liam to his feet without hesitation.
At that moment, Liam spotted one of the black-clad attackers still alive, reaching for a fallen weapon. Liams eyes widened in alarm.
Instinctively, he shoved Harlee aside, turning to shield her with his body.
Harlee sighed, unfazed, and fired her gun without looking back, kitting the man squarely int in the chest. The man dropped again.
