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
"You want me to spare you? It'll be easy as long as you come clean to me about all the corrupt practices you've done with Yafe to line your pockets. But remember, if you dare to lie at all!"As Liam said that, he moved his foot from Jayme's wrist to his palm and stepped on it with all his might. Jayme's palm that was engorged became deformed after it was crushed by the massive force."Ahh" Jayme screamed at the top of his lungs in the next second. His face turned blue.There was hardly anybody who could endure such excruciating pain. Jayme almost immediately started begging for mercy, shouting miserably, "Don't, don't step on it anymore, Mr. Cole! I'll tell you everything. Please, stop stepping on it!"The other persons in charge were all frightened to see Jayme in such a miserable state. Fearing that they would be next, they stood at the side while trembling, not daring to make a sound for fear they would cross Liam.Liam was too terrifying.Could this violent man standing befor
"He is my father, but I can't watch him ruin the company and the collaboration with the Max Group without doing anything," said Celena.Liam was not surprised to hear that was what Celena wanted to do. He admired her courage at the same time.This was what he found most attractive about Celena as well. She was a timid person, but she would stop at nothing once she made the decision.Liam smiled and said, "Alright. I'll go with you. I'll support you no matter what you want to do."Celena gathered the documents Jayme handed to her earlier, took some photos of the materials stored in the warehouse on site, and rushed off to Stone Mansion with Liam. Jayme and the other persons-in-charge who were ignored just kept watching Liam and Celena until they left. It was only then they rushed out to help Jayme up from the ground."Mr. Robbie, are you alright?""Mr. Robbie, what should we do now?""Celena and Liam have recorded whatever you said. They must be going to expose us now." Jayme
Reginald saw Liam standing next to Celena and his expression immediately darkened. His voice was frosty as he asked, "Why do you need to see me so urgently?"Because Celena suddenly came to look for Reginald, the other members of the Stone family who were hoping to watch a drama unfold were alerted as well. Of course, Cheryl, Sherah, and Qemal, as well as Walter's family and Hayden's family, were all included.Because of what happened in the past, Celena felt a little timid after she saw so many of the Stone family members in the sitting room. Liam then moved closer to Celena and grabbed her hand gently.Celena turned to look at him and saw him smiling calmly. That made Celena feel relieved. She took a deep breath and said, "Grandpa, I have something to tell you."Reginald was already seated in the middle of the room with the help from the maid. He had a stern expression as he said, "Go on. Tell me what it is.""Grandpa, I found out that my father has abused his position in the
"You—" Sherah was still flustered. After she heard that Celena had documents and a recording, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and her eyes were filled with panic.Seeing that, Cheryl cursed in her mind and quickly stood up and bellowed at Celena, "Hmph! Proof? I think it's all fabricated by you. You're well-prepared just to frame my father."She turned to Reginald, looking like she was wronged, and wined, "Look at her, Grandpa. She has crossed the line. She used such a despicable trick to frame my father just because she hates us."Reginald's face was incredibly sullen. He, too, did not believe Yafe would do such a thing. He was more convinced that Celena would create this mess on purpose because she hated her family.He looked at Celena with a frosty glance gleaming in his eyes, barking at her icily, "Celena, do you know what you're talking about? Yafe is your father. You better think about what you're doing!"I'll forgive you this time for not knowing better beca
Reginald's expression got even darker upon hearing Celena's words. He replied icily, "Alright! Since you said you have evidence, show it to me, then."Reginald was upset. Even if Celena said she had evidence, he still refused to believe his eldest son would do such a thing.Reginald always had high hopes for Yafe. After all, he had brought him up to be the next person to be in charge of the company. After Reginald passed away, the entire company would be put in Yafe's charge. There was no need for Yafe to do these things for that insignificant cut of benefit.Besides, they were a family. Why would he do something that would harm the interest of his own family's company?In conclusion, Reginald simply refused to believe Yafe would do what Celena accused him of.Celena could tell that Reginald did not believe her, but she was not afraid. That was because the information and evidence she had were true. She was not afraid at all that Reginald would look into this matter."Alright." C
Celena nodded and said solemnly, "I promise that everything I said and this information that I provide are real, Grandpa. The person in the recording earlier is the person in charge of one of the contractors. The list of materials and their prices written in the document in your hand is what that man, Jayme Robbie, and Dad have agreed upon in private."I had someone from the company verify the details in this document when I was on my way back from the construction site. All the materials listed are considered low- to medium-quality in the market. The quotation for the purchase is priced above the market rate for high-quality materials."Grandpa, if we purchase the materials according to this list, they would be able to pocket at least one million dollars."Her words sent the people in the quiet sitting room into a frenzy again.The Stone family members who were present were infuriated. Cheryl, Qemal, and Sherah panicked.Celena was just as shocked as the people in the sitting roo
Yafe wiped off the sweat on his forehead as he spoke. He walked into the room anxiously and said to Reginald, "Dad, I didn't do any of that. All the information and evidence are fake. It's all fabricated by Celena."Dad, I'm your son. You know what kind of person I am, don't you? How could I possibly do things that would harm the interest of the company? Besides, I'm the vice president of the company now. You'll let me run the company in the future as well. It makes no sense for me to do this!"Yafe was incredibly anxious to see Reginald and the others remaining silent, but he still pretended as if he was wrongfully accused. He glared at Celena and Liam ferociously and said, "You've crossed the line, Celena. I know you've always resented me, and you've never taken me seriously. But you can't frame me like this."I'm going to make it clear today that I've never done anything to harm the interest of the company. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to check all the properties, comp
