Suddenly, Liam's brows locked in a frown, his eyes turned cold, and he exuded a murderous energy. Cheryl backed away in fear after she saw the sudden change in him. Her face turned white, and she stuttered, "Wh-what do you want to do?" Cheryl ruffled Liam's feathers after attacking Celena multiple times. Just as Liam was about to teach the insolent woman a lesson, his hand was suddenly held back by Celena, who suddenly came to her senses."Liam, don't. You promised me! Don't act rashly!" Celena shook her head. Liam glared at Cheryl, then took a look at Celena's eyes which were filled with worry. He sighed resignedly and let go of his hand. Once Cheryl got away, she quickly hid beside Reginald. She massaged her wrist, which was swollen and bruised, and whined, "Grandpa, my hand hurts! Look!"She held out her hand toward Reginald and continued with her complaints, "Grandpa, Celena is getting more and more arrogant! She is even like this to me in front of you. She is so disrespe
The person who was backing the Max Group up was the mayor, Malcolm. If they collaborated with him, then nobody would dare to lay a finger on the Stone family in the future.This was the opportunity of a lifetime for the Stone family. Ever since Celena left, Reginald was never so hard on Cheryl. She glared at Liam and Celena with hatred. Her face was filled with unwillingness as she walked toward Celena. Her eyes welled up as she kneeled with much difficulty.She gritted her teeth and said, "Celena, I'm sorry. It was all my fault. I shouldn't have bullied you. I'm begging you on my knees to ask for your forgiveness. Please let the Stone family Collaborate with the Max Group."Celena was caught off guard. She frantically went forward to help Cheryl up and said in a panic, "Cheryl, get up quick. I'll do it. Hurry up and get up."Cheryl sneered and shrugged off Celena's helping hand with all her might. Without saying a single word, she backed to the side and glared at Celena with e
Tears welled up in Liam's eyes. As he watched Celena bawl at the top of her lungs, he felt his heart aching badly. Anna was looking at Celena as she cried her eyes out as well. Anna could no longer take it. She rushed out from the crowd, embraced Celena, and also started crying."Celena! Oh, how I have missed you, my dear cousin."Everyone there was looking at Celena with an icy gaze. Anna was the only one feeling sorry for her. Liam scanned through the crowd, and he committed everyone's expressions in his memory in silence.Sherah watched with an indifferent gaze as Anna and Celena embraced each other. She was smiling, but she was already plotting in secret about how to target Celena after she returned to Stone Mansion. She would never let Celena have it easy after she became a part of the family again, much less allow her to threaten her children's position in the family. With that, after a round of apologies, the Stone family was going to take Celena and Jovie back into the
Celena held Liam's hand and said excitedly, "Liam, let me give you a tour of my home!" Then, Celena happily showed Liam around the Stone Mansion. Lots of things have changed from what she could remember. The layout was quite different as well.Even so, Celena still walked around with Liam for a long time. Liam carried Jovie the whole time while following behind Celena. He watched her jovial expression under the sun. Her eyes were glimmering. This was the version of Celena he had in his memory—not having a worry in the world, growing up with the affection from her family, and having a twinkle in her eyes.Later that night, the Stones' family dinner began at the dining hall of the Stone Mansion. All of Reginald's direct line of descendants attended the dinner that night, so they filled up all the seats at one big table. Right then, Celena walked into the dining hall with Liam, who was carrying Jovie in his arms.All the others had a look of disdain when they saw the family o
Upon saying that, Cheryl sneered and turned around arrogantly. Then, she strode back to her seat in her heels with a sense of satisfaction. Her gaze was filled with an extreme sense of contempt.Not one of the guests voiced out to reprimand Cheryl. Instead, they were all eager to watch the drama unfold. They looked at Celena, Liam, and Jovie with a mocking gaze and started discussing them. "This bastard child should learn her place. We are already so incredibly gracious to let her attend our family's dinner. She should just behave herself. Does she think she has the right to our family's food?" "Exactly! Who does she think she is? Does think she can do whatever she pleases now that she's back at the Stone Mansion?""How would she know her place? He's a loser. She's a b*tch. And they gave birth to a little bastard. What a perfectly matched family!" "Hahahahaha."Anger filled Liam's heart as he listened to the words of insult. His hands tightened into fists under the table. He
Liam strolled closer to the Stones. They seemed like they had seen the devil from hell rushing toward them with thousands of demons behind him.The Liam before them was too horrifying!"Ah! W-What do you want?"Cheryl was so scared she let out a scream. Her arrogance and disdainful expression had earlier turned as pale as a sheet. Her whole body started shivering as she watched Liam inch closer toward her. She quivered as she continued to threaten, "I-I'm warning you! Don't do anything stupid, Liam! This is the Stone Mansion! If you dare to lay a finger on me, Celena would suffer!" Cheryl then turned to Celena with fear and shrieked, "Celena! Keep an eye on your man! This is the Stone Mansion. Is he trying to murder someone?" It was only then that Celena came to her senses. She shouted at Liam while holding Jovie, "Liam! Don't do it!" Liam's back was against her. She could only see Liam's foreboding silhouette. He looked like he had just come out of an endless bloodbath, whi
Cheryl stood in place without saying a word like she had been wronged. Then, she said sullenly, "So what? Am I not telling the truth? In any case, I'm not apologizing!" Reginald was already furious for having to bring Celena back and being unable to do anything to her. Cheryl's insolent behavior at that moment completely pushed him off the edge. He could no longer contain his anger.He threw his walking stick at Cheryl and bellowed, "What's the matter? Am I too old to be giving you orders? You kept mentioning knowing one's place. Then, you should know that you're not the only granddaughter in this family! If you're so ungrateful, then get out of the Stone family!"Cheryl was hit in the forehead by the walking stick that was thrown at her. Her head swelled up instantly! She held her forehead in pain while tears welled up in her widened eyes. Sherah was terrified by that sight. Once she came to her senses, she quickly rushed to Cheryl. With a forced smile, she said to Reginald, "Do
Someone in the crowd could not hold himself back and asked Wasyl to elaborate. Then, the others looked toward Wasyl and waited for him to elaborate. Wasyl first took a sip of his drink for dramatic effect. Then, with everyone's anticipating gaze on him, he said calmly, "The Max Group will be holding a dinner to celebrate the collaboration between them and all the big businesses in Drunham City! Most importantly, a mysterious and powerful special guest will be attending it! It is the biggest news in the high society of Drunham City!"Once he said that, people around him could not help but start discussing it with each other. "A mysterious and powerful special guest? If the Max Group is holding a dinner, who could the big shot be?" "Yes, Mr. Abbott. Since you know so much, please tell us quickly about the identity of this mysterious person!""Apparently, this mysterious person is the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors, the King Pendragon, himself. He is someone who comm
