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
Celena wiped the tears that kept streaming down her face. She continued complaining, "Why are you always lying? Why do you always let me be ridiculed and humiliated by them? I-I just want to live a peaceful life."Celena burst out crying with grievances. She punched Liam's chest with all her might and cried her heart out.She cared very much about the Stones' impression of her. Her mind was very weak, to begin with.Because of Liam, she had to endure being ostracized and insulted by the Stones over and over again. Everybody in the Stone family was laughing at her. She had been holding her emotions in, but she could no longer do it anymore.Liam was stunned after he heard Celena's words. He knew she had endured being treated with disdain and poked fun at a lot because of him.However, he never expected that these small actions and casual remarks could also bring her harm.Liam regained his senses and crouched next to Celena. He cupped her face and gently wiped her tears away. Then
Celena looked pale when the group of people ridiculed and insulted her.She plucked up the courage to look at everyone and said in a loud voice, "Liam said he can get the invitation, and I believe him. Also, he's not a loser. He's an outstanding man. He's not like what you guys made him out to be. The man I chose is not a useless person."Upon saying that, she held Liam's arm tightly. She was still a little scared and was shaking a little. However, she still held back her fear and looked right at everyone in the dining room with her head held high.The hall fell silent as soon as she said that. Then, they burst out laughing.Their mockery and disdainful expressions made Celena take half a step back in fear. She was still holding Liam's arm tightly. The fear and delicate look in her eyes left Liam incredibly heartbroken.Liam put his other hand over her freezing hands and smiled at her calmly. "Don't be scared. Don't worry. Trust me.""Did I hear that right? Did Celena say that th
After Qemal did that, Liam frowned and clenched his fist so tight that his knuckles popped.His gaze darkened as he looked at Qemal. At that moment, Qemal was nothing more than a dead man in Liam's eyes.However, Celena tugged at his elbow. She was ashen as she looked at him. She shook her head and signaled him with her eyes, asking him not to act on impulse.Liam did not move, so Qemal thought that he was chickening out. Qemal felt like he had vented a huge portion of his pent-up anger.He sneered and said, "Hmph. You actually made a call. Do you really think you're all that? What a loser."Wasyl was secretly cheering for Qemal. He smirked and said to Reginald, "Grandpa Reg, is there something wrong with Liam's head? Did he hit his head or something?"Reginald was furious too. He hit his walking stick on the floor and bellowed, "Celena! Liam! That's enough! This is the Stones' family dinner. It's not a place for you to cause a ruckus and do whatever you please. Get the hell out
During the dinner, Wasyl took the chance and asked, "Grandpa Reg, have the Stones gotten the collaboration deal between Celena and the Max Group?"Reginald was extremely excited at the mention of the collaboration with the Max Group. He smiled and said, "Of course! Celena has nothing to do with it at all. How can she collaborate with the Max Group? At the end of the day, she'll still have to rely on us.""That's great. I have an idea, Grandpa Reg. Both the Abbotts and the Stones have gotten some collaboration deals with the Max Group. Why don't both our families join hands, become partners, and grow together? Wouldn't it be better for us to grow in a win-win situation?" Wasyl suggested with a broad smile.Reginald was very excited after he heard about it. He had the same idea. He just could not find the right time to bring it up to Wasyl.After Wasyl suggested on his own, Reginald immediately said, "Great minds think alike. If the Abbott Group and the Stone Group join hands, then w
The butler could not hold it in anymore after seeing Reginald in a daze. He tried to probe by saying softly, "S-Sir, we… "Reginald immediately regained his senses. He stood up while looking anxious. As if he could not believe it, he asked again, "What did you say? A military truck here to deliver the invitations? And there's a truck full of them?"The butler nodded profusely and said, "Yes, sir. The truck is right outside our door. They say they are here to deliver the invitations. They asked us to send someone to collect them."Many of them could not stay put any longer and stood up together. Their sudden action caused the table and chairs to fall on the floor, creating a loud, piercing noise.Reginald quickly pulled a chair out of the way while holding his walking stick. The butler came up to help him, and they rushed toward the door of the Stone Mansion.Wasyl had an incredibly long face at that moment. He was extremely confused. He wanted to confirm if what the butler said wa
