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
Somebody took the lead and jeered, "There will always be a world of difference if we compare two people to each other. Mr. Abbott is someone who has dined with King Pendragon. Some people, on the other hand, are homeless losers who lack any sort of self-awareness!""What's the use of saying all this to him? He's such a lowlife, he probably hasn't even heard of King Pendragon before!""Hahahaha."Celena wanted to stay out of trouble, so she kept her head down in silence. In her heart, she had always believed that Liam was not a loser and that he would eventually shine one day.Cheryl was also looking so full of herself. With the swollen bump on her forehead, she said with pride, "That's right! Unlike a certain someone, I have a keen eye when I choose my man." Liam had planned to ignore these people, but they were getting increasingly out of hand. He could not hold it in and asked, "Oh? Since when have I dined with Mr. Abbott in Macclesfield? Who is your father? Why don't I have th
Yafe looked resigned and ashamed as he tried to smooth things over. He shot a warning look at Celena and Liam and said, "Alright, our family dinner is more important. Let's not waste our time on unimportant people! Come on, Wasyl, let's drink!"His tone might have sounded civil, but his gaze was filled with anger as he looked at Celena and Liam.Celena was once the daughter of one of the most distinguished families in Drunham City. How did she end up with the likes of Liam? She even gave birth to a bastard child and made the Stone family a laughing stock.However, Yafe had forgotten that it was not without his contribution that Liam had ended up in Celena's room seven years ago. Celena saw how everyone was looking at her angrily. They were condemning her, making her hang her head. She quietly pulled Liam's hand and shook her head lightly. "Liam, stop talking. This is the Stone Mansion, after all. Let's not poke our noses where they don't belong. Let's just sit here to have dinne
The gilded invitations on the table caused the Stone family to shake excitedly. It was the invitation to the Max Group's dinner. Of course, the businesses that were invited were all top-notch. Not to mention, apart from Malcolm's appearance, the legendary King Pendragon would be in attendance as well! Any of the invited guests would be enough to make countless people go crazy, let alone the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors, who would be appearing in person!Obviously, many would kill to have a chance of attending the dinner. What an honor it would be if they could see King Pendragon in person! In the past, this was just a name that had appeared in the news. Nobody had even seen a photo of him before. This made a lot of people wonder if such a legendary man even existed.King Pendragon was a person that everyone worshiped fervently. People would die happy if they could just catch a glimpse of him from afar. Who would have thought that a man like that was actually sit
"Oh gosh! There's one for me too. That's fantastic. Thank you for your consideration, Wasyl," said Sherah.She had been eyeing the invitation for a long time. She figured one of them would be given to her, but she was afraid it would disappear if she did not hold on tight. At that moment, she could not stop beaming with it in her hands.Sherah became arrogant after she received the invitation. She thought of how Teresa had mocked her earlier. Then, she happily put the invitation in the most visible place next to her and said, "Teresa, you were right. It's good to have a keen eye when picking a husband. Anna should pick a good one when the time comes. Look at Cheryl. Anna should learn from her."Unlike Sherah, Yafe was able to keep his cool. He smiled and quickly picked up his glasses to toast Wasyl.The others simply looked at Yafe and his family of three in envy.How could Teresa stand Sherah's sarcastic remarks? Teresa had always despised the fact that Sherah used to be a mistre
"What the hell was that? Could I have misheard you? What did you say? Get a truck full of them? Go ahead. Get a truckload of invitations delivered now. Let us all expand our horizons," Sherah sneered and said sarcastically.Sherah almost could not contain her laughter. Celena was with Liam, so the more useless Liam was, the happier Sherah was.Cheryl was in stitches too. She hugged her stomach, wiped the tear at the corner of her eyes, and said, "Haha. That's too hilarious. What was that? Liam, you're really killing us. Do you think you're going to be that powerful just because you say so? Do you know how stupid you look? Both of you are truly a match made in heaven."She was a bitch, and he was a loser, one that loved to talk big and lie at that.After that, Cheryl looked at Celena provokingly and said, "Celena, you have a keen eye. You've got yourself such a good husband. I haven't congratulated you, have I? Congratulations on being with an idiot."Reginald suddenly slammed on t
