It was after Liam reminded Celena that she remembered he was one of the outstanding young men in Drunham City back then. He interned at Cole Enterprise while still in junior high.He doubled the profit of the Cole Enterprise in the second year after he joined the company.Celena believed in Liam, but Jayme and the others were appointed by Yafe. If something was wrong with them, would that not mean that-Celena's expression changed drastically at the thought of that. "But they're all contractors that my father personally appointed. If something is off with them, th-then."A faint smile appeared on Liam's face after he saw that Celena was able to think of that. He patted her hand gently and said, "Celena, you just joined the company recently. There are still a lot of unspoken rules in the business that you're unfamiliar with. Take the situation today, for example. Have you ever thought of the possibility of them having a deal with Yafe under the table?""You mean like taking kickbac
"He's a loser who relies on his wife for money. What right does he have to call the shots for this project?""Ms. Stone, you've gone overboard. We've explained to you that today's batch of materials is very important. Are you not going to think on behalf of the Stone Group at all?""That's right! Your husband isn't part of the company. What gives him the right to meddle in the business here?"After Liam talked about taking the agreement away to verify the details, the contractors could no longer hold themselves back anymore. One after another, they stepped forward and stopped him.After all, they knew very well what was in the document. The list and prices of the materials written in the document looked fine at first glance, but it would not stand a chance if it was verified and examined closely.They planned to pressure Celena by telling her that the materials were running low and the workers were about to stop working soon. They wanted her to sign the document without having the
Celena immediately called out, "Mr. Robbie!"However, Jayme did not let Celena have a chance to speak at all. As soon as he was done talking, he immediately took out his phone from his pocket and called Yafe.Once the call was answered, Jayme said in an icy voice, "Mr. Stone, Ms. Stone refused to sign the document to authorize us to purchase the materials. "You know how important this batch of materials is. If we don't have them, we'll have to stop working. Ms. Stone said something was wrong with the document, and she wanted to take it away with her to verify the details."I've worked with the Stone Group for so long. I believe you know what kind of person I am. But Ms. Stone thinks there's something wrong with my character right now. You shouldn't have collaborated with us if that's what she's thinking. You should've just worked with a contractor that you trust."I've been looking out for the Stone Group. I was worried that the project would be delayed and your company would suf
As soon as Yafe heard Celena's voice over the phone, he flew into a rage and bellowed, "Celena, what's wrong with you? Don't you know the importance of the materials? Can you afford to bear the responsibility for causing a delay?"Also, don't you forget that you're just a manager now. What right do you have to call the shots on things that I've instructed you to do?"Sign the document Jayme prepared now. This is an order! The materials have to be transported to the site today!"Listen up, Celena. You better not step out of line. Don't be smug and forget your place just because you're in charge of two major projects now. You're just a manager. Who gave you the right to meddle in a major decision for the company?"Celena hung her head as she listened to Yafe barking at her. Finally, Yafe was done. However, just as Celena was about to say something, Liam snatched the phone away from her.Liam said sternly, "Yafe, I suggest you be polite when you talk to my wife. Also, Celena is not g
One of the contractors looked at Celena fiercely and threatened, "Ms. Stone, you better cooperate or you'll be the one to suffer in the end!"Celena was so frightened that colors drained from her face and her body could not stop shaking. She already felt uneasy after what happened at the Bridal District yesterday. After she was frightened by the aggressive workers at the site, her legs turned to jelly.Celena grabbed Liam's arm in fear to stop herself from falling and called out frightfully, "Liam!"Liam supported Celena and said, "Don't be afraid. I'll protect you."He then turned to look at Jayme and the ferocious workers. They were all holding hammers, wrenches, and other tools at that moment.Liam frowned with a frosty gaze gleaming in his eyes. He sneered and said, "Mr. Robbie, it looks like you've been prepared for this."Jayme sneered and glared at Liam viciously. His voice was filled with disdain as he said, "Liam, who do you think you are? You're nothing more than a lose
"Ms. Stone, you'd better think it over properly. With your family's situation, how long would it take you to make two hundred thousand dollars? All you need to do right now is to sign your name on this document and you'll have that money.""He's right, Ms. Stone. You have to think carefully about whether you want to sign the documents.""Ms. Stone, you don't have to worry too much. We're very experienced with matters like this. The materials that would be delivered are not comparable to those from famous brands, but small issues like this would not affect the outcome.""That's right. Besides, there would be so many people in and out of a place like a mall. If anything were to go wrong, we can just blame it on that. And when the time comes, they could hire us to renovate again. We would be able to make more money then.""I agree! Ms. Stone, think about that. We would be able to make more money in the future. You should take the long view. Don't just focus on the benefits in the pres
In an instant, there was cement and dust everywhere. The team leader threw up a mouthful of blood and passed out.All the workers were stunned by what they just saw.Liam stood in place, exuding a frosty air. His gaze was cold as he looked at the workers who had no guts to come forward. Then, he said icily, "I know all of you have it tough, so I don't wish to attack you. But that's only if you're smart enough to stop now."Upon hearing his words, the workers looked at each other and then looked at Liam in fear again. None of them had the guts to take a step forward at all.Jayme was infuriated. Pointing at Liam, he bellowed, "What the fuck are you waiting for? Get him! There are so many of you and only one of him! You can defeat him, can't you? Attack him altogether and break one of his legs first!"Those workers who were looking fearful immediately became ferocious upon hearing Jayme's words. They glared at Liam and bellowed, "That's right! Don't be afraid, guys! There are so man
Seeing that Liam was getting closer and closer, Jayme said in a shaking voice, "Liam, wh-what are you trying to do?"Liam sneered. An icy smirk appeared on his face as he watched Jayme's flabby body tremble. "Mr. Robbie, I should be the one asking you that question," he said.By the time Jayme wanted to speak, Liam was already standing right in front of him. Liam grabbed Jayme by his neck and lifted him in the air.Jayme was fat and had a beer belly. He was about 170 centimeters tall and weighed 90 kilograms. However, he was lifted by Liam so easily.Jayme felt distressed as soon as he was lifted. The intense feeling of suffocation made his face flushed. He tried as hard as he could to pull Liam's hand away out of survival instinct.He struggled with his eyes rolled back and shouted, "L-Liam, let go of—me! You're dead meat—if y-you dare to strangle me to death—"However, no matter how much Jayme struggled, it was futile. Liam's hand that was grabbing his collar did not budge at a
