Celena wanted to say something, but Liam already pushed her out of the kitchen.Right at that moment, Jovie walked out of the room. Seeing Celena being "kicked out" of the kitchen by Liam, she made a funny face at Liam and said, "Shame on you for bullying Mom and Dad."Liam rolled his eyes at Jovie and said in annoyance, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly bully your mother? I love her to the moon and back.""Liam!" Celena turned around and gave Liam's arm a light smack. She rolled her eyes at him and pretended to be annoyed as she said, "Knock it off. I'll play with Jovie for a while. Get back in the kitchen to get ready."She shoved Liam into the kitchen and led Jovie to the table to have breakfast while her cheeks were flushed.It was the weekend, so Jovie woke up later than usual. By the time Jovie was done with breakfast, it was almost ten in the morning.Celena let Jovie stay in the living room to draw on the couch on her own, and she went back to the
"You're too kind." Celena was a little ill at ease as she accepted the present from Spencer. It was mainly because the wrapping was too exquisite, and she could tell it was expensive at a glance.However, Spencer already brought the present over, and he was Liam's friend, so Celena could not say no to him. Having no choice, she accepted it and put it on the shelf.She then poured two glasses of water and put them on the table in front of them. With a smile, she said, "Have some water. Oh yes. Please pardon me. I haven't asked you for your name."Spencer quickly stood up and accepted the glass respectfully before he introduced himself, "Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Spencer Gibson, Mrs. Cole. You can just call me Spencer.""Hello, Mr. Gibson," Celena replied with a smile. She found the name a little familiar. She seemed to have heard it from somewhere.In the next second, Celena shuddered as it suddenly hit her, and she looked at Spencer in excitement.She could
Celena seemed to have gotten used to Liam being in the kitchen, which meant that it was not the first time Liam—the commander-in-chief of Pendragon Warriors—cooked a meal himself.Gosh! What did they do to deserve to have a meal prepared by Liam himself?Spencer smiled and said, "Alright!"As he spoke, he gave Danny—who was still in a daze—a signal with his eyes, and Danny immediately got the memo. He looked at Liam cautiously and stuttered, "P-please carry on, M-Mr. Cole."Celes smiled and pulled Liam back to the kitchen. As soon as they entered the kitchen, Celena said in excitement, "Darling—"She cut herself off as she suddenly thought of something. She turned to glance at Spencer, who was on the couch in the living room, and asked in a whisper, "Darling, hurry up and tell me, is Mr. Gibson out there? Is he the one that Cheryl and the others talked about?"What the hell is going on? Why would Mr. Gibvisit usisit? No, hold on. How do you know him? Didn't Cheryl say last night
It was after Celena heard Liam's explanation that she stopped too much about it and let out a sigh of relief. She was no longer curious about why Liam would know Spencer anymore.After all, with how powerful the Cole family was seven years ago, it would not be strange for Liam to know a famous person like Spencer.However, Celena suddenly thought of something, and she quickly asked, "Hold on, dear. What did you say just now? You want Mr. Gibson to design a wedding dress for me?"Liam nodded with a grin and said, "That's right. He's the best designer there is, isn't he?"When Liam said he wanted to get someone to customize a wedding dress for her in the morning, Celena thought it would just be an ordinary designer. She did not expect he would hire Spencer, the best designer in the world.Celena's eyes were instantly filled with tears. After she gave it a careful thought, she shook her head and said, "Liam, thank you. I know you're good to me, but I still feel we don't need to waste
What Celena did not know was that Spencer was in awe that Jove was so talented at such a young age as he watched her draw.He could tell that Jovie never learned to draw, but she had a very good foundation for drawing. As to be expected of the daughter of King Pendragon.With that much talent, Jovie was practically born to draw.Seeing that Celena was in the living room, Spencer got all excited and complimented, "Mrs. Cole, your daughter is amazing! I mean it! I've never met a child as gifted as her! She has so much talent in drawing at such a young age. She's going to have great accomplishments in the future!"Spencer was not shy with his compliments at all, and it was not because Jovie was Liam's daughter. It was because Jovie's performance was too amazing.As a designer who lived more than half a decade, it was only natural for him to be very fond of gifted talents like Jovie. That was why he was emotional when he complimented her.There were more and more outstanding children
Cheryl looked at Celena arrogantly with her arms crossed. She was trying to show off as she said, "Celena if I didn't have something to tell you, do you think I would be willing to come to your shabby cottage?"I'll just cut right to the chase. I'm here to tell you that my dear Wasyl has successfully invited Mr. Gibson to dinner. The reservation is for seven tonight at Room 888 of Abaraham Hotel. You and Liam must be there. After all, you were very confident when you made the bet yesterday."Sure enough, Cheryl saw Celena's expression become stiff upon saying that. That made Cheryl's smile grow wider.Seeing that Celena remained silent, Cheryl thought she was scared, so she continued, "Remember that it's at seven tonight. Don't be late. If it weren't for Wasyl, you probably never would be able to meet a man like Mr. Gibson at all. Hahaha."However, Cheryl was mistaken. Celena was not scared at all. She was just a little bewildered.Celena glanced at Cheryl before she glanced at Sp
Celena was taken aback once again. She stared at Cheryl with confusion, carefully observing every expression on her face. Seeing that Cheryl truly did not know Spencer filled Celena with puzzlement.The smile on Spencer's face turned stiff as well. His eyes were both filled with surprise and bewilderment.What the hell was going on?Cheryl was the one who said she invited Spencer for dinner at Abaraham Hotel at seven that night. How could she not know him, then? Could there be another wedding designer named Spencer Gibson?Spencer's mind was filled with questions after he saw Cheryl's attitude toward him. Seeing that Cheryl did not seem to know him, he said, "Hello, Ms. Cheryl. I'm Spencer Gibson."The room fell silent once again.Cheryl was stunned upon hearing Spencer's introduction.What? Spencer Gibson? The middle-aged man in simple clothes who was standing in front of her was Spencer."What did you say?" Cheryl was confused, and she surveyed Spencer curiously. Seeing the
Cheryl sneered again. Crossing her arms arrogantly, she walked around Spencer and surveyed him. Her tone was disdainful and frosty as she said, "Was I not clear enough? Why are you asking me what am I talking about? Don't you know? You're a person who's impersonating Mr. Gibson.."Realization dawned on Cheryl as she said that. She looked at Spencer as if she figured it out and said, "I understand now. You must be worried that you might not get the money. That's why you're deliberately playing a fool. But I'm really surprised. I didn't expect to meet someone who's impersonating Mr. Gibson. What an eye-opening experience."Spencer looked extremely upset at that moment. Because of how influential he was, he was always the one to give others an attitude. He had never been in this position like that day.Not only was he mistaken as an impersonator, but he was also insulted. Is he being the fake Mr. Gibson? Hmph! What a joke!With a sullen face and a frosty tone, Spencer said, "Are yo
However, Andy was a smooth talker, so the eldest member of the Drayton family liked him. Because of that, the head of the family tolerated him. That was why Andy, who was just a member of the branch family, dared to be so cocky.Andy saw Howard standing at the side from the corner of his eye as he spoke. He thought of what Howard said earlier, and that made his blood boil.He pointed at Howard and bellowed, "Uncle Derrick, this Howard is trash as well. You have no idea. I told him I was a member of the Drayton family, yet he did not take our family seriously at all."Not only did he have his men capture me, but he said cockily that he wanted to lock me up forever, and nobody could stop him."Weren't you very cocky before this, Mr. Mosier? Go on. Continue acting cocky in front of my uncle now. Detain me and lock me up forever."Andy took a couple of steps closer to Howard as he said that. He extended his hands arrogantly and said, "Come on. I have my hands stretched out for you. Hu
Soon, Andy and the thugs from the nightclub yesterday were released.Andy saw Derrick standing at the entrance of the police headquarters at a glance. He got so excited that he shouted, "Uncle Derrick! Uncle Derrick!"Fletcher's subordinates were incredibly excited to see Derrick as well. All of them shouted, "Mr. Derrick Drayton!"One of the subordinates was in Drunham City because Derrick arranged for him to be there. After he was brought to Derrick's side, he smiled apologetically and said, "Thank you for saving me, sir. Don't worry. Fletcher's faction and properties are all here. I'll be able to rebuild the faction here very soon."In other words, even if Fletcher was out of the picture, he would be able to thrive in Drunham City and replace Fletcher.However, Derrick shot an icy glare at him and sneered. "Hmph! How shameless of you to say that? There are so many of you, yet you can't deal with a small loser who only married into the Stone family."If it wasn't because this w
Howard did not expect that the Drayton family would have a connection with the Carter family. They could even produce a token from the Carter family."Mr. Derrick Drayton, I didn't expect that your family and the Carters go way back. You even got the Carter family's token out," said Howard.Derrick sneered and said, "Enough with the nonsense. Howard, my family did the Carter family a favor back then, that's why the general of the Carter family gave this token to us. He promised us that we could take out this token if we were ever in a bind in the future, and they would help us!"I'm taking out this token today to tell you that I'm going to bail Andy out of here. I'd like to see who in Drunham City has the guts to stop me!"Howard was stunned, and then he fell silent.He did not think that Derrick would take out a token from the Carter family.The Carter family was the top family in Mirstone. Nobody in Mirstone would dare to go against the Carter family. Derrick became even more
Meanwhile, Derrick and his men were already at the entrance of the police headquarters.Derrick's eyes were burning with rage as he looked at the door that was shut tightly. A sneer appeared on his lips as he said, "Hmph. Looks like they already know I'm coming, so they are deliberately trying to assert dominance."Then, he asked his driver next to him, "Where are our men? Have they all arrived?"The driver nodded and said, "They're here, Mr. Derrick. They are all waiting at the side. We'll tear down the main door to the police headquarters once you give the command."Derrick nodded with satisfaction. Then, he shouted at the police headquarters, "Howard! You're just the chief of the police headquarters! How dare you lock me outside?""I'd like to see how powerful you are today, Howard! Come on, guys. Take it down!"At his command, a group of burly men rushed out of the black van next to him. They were all holding thick bats, and they rushed up to the door ferociously.Right at t
At first, Yafe and the rest of the Stone family were stunned after they heard what Liam said. Then, they all burst out laughing.Yafe looked at Liam with a mocking gaze and said, "Are you kidding me, Liam? You're going to get the Draytons to come and apologize in person? Come on, that's the Drayton family we're talking about! Do you think they are just some nobody?"Right now, I don't want to waste my breath anymore. As long as you're able to stop the Drayton family from targeting us, I'm more than grateful. Don't you forget that you're the one who wanted to leave the Stone family? So, stop dragging us into your mess."Liam shot the crowd with an icy glare and brought Celena out of the Stone Mansion.Celena was still in a slight daze after they got into the car. Liam put on her safety belt for her and asked, "What's the matter, dear? Are you still worried about the Draytons?"Celena nodded and replied, "Yes. After all, all these were caused by the conflict between Andy and us. Jus
Liam wanted to ask what the family heirloom was, but he had no choice but to let it be after he heard what Yonatan said.However, Liam heard Yonatan's voice again, saying, "I've never seen that thing, but I heard from the Drayton family members that it was from a big shot in the military."The military?Liam's eyebrows furrowed once he heard it had something to do with the military. Then, he kicked Yonatan away, making him land next to the thugs.Yonatan passed out because of that kick.Once the thugs saw their leader was out cold, they took a couple of steps back in fear.However, Liam did not care about them at all. He looked at Yafe and the others instead.Once the Stone family members saw that they were out of the woods, they became cocky again.Yafe and Sherah, in particular, were so cocky that they ran up to Liam and condemned him, "Look what you've done! You're bad luck! What else can you do other than cause us trouble? Do you know who that is? He is from the Drayton fam
Yonatan was infuriated and bellowed, "So this is how you're going to play! Alright! I'm not going to stop until I kill you today!"Yonatan was radiating an intense desire to battle. That was the air exuded by a fighter of Fourth Order War King caliber.The Stone family was so frightened by the air he exuded that their faces turned pale. All of them took more than ten steps back in fear, afraid they would be injured by mistake.Yonatan clenched his fist and charged at Liam like a ferocious beast. His fist was packing so much power that it created a sonic boom, cutting through the air and going for Liam's face.The punch was so powerful that it could kill a bull right away.The Stone family thought Liam was going to die. Nobody would be able to survive a punch like that.Yonatan thought the same. He was very confident in his ability. He looked into Liam and knew he used to be a soldier, as well as a good fighter. However, so what?No matter how skilled Liam was in combat, could he
The moment Liam stepped into view, the Stone family members lit up as if they had spotted their guardian angel. They pointed at him, their voices rising in a chorus of relief and accusation. "Mr. Yonatan, look over here! It's Liam! I said they weren't with us!""Exactly! Mr. Yonatan, see for yourself, Liam's not part of our family!""Mr. Yonatan, now that Liam's here, if you're looking to pin the blame on someone, he's your man!""Liam, you actually showed up. If you hadn't crossed the Drayton family, would we, the Stones, have ever been dragged into this mess?""Liam, Celena, you two are nothing but trouble. You've left the family, so why keep stirring the pot for us?"...The air crackled with the Stone family's collective outrage, their faces twisted in anger as if they were ready to rip Liam and Celena to shreds.Celena and Liam's arrival was pure happenstance. They were just in the neighborhood to check in on an old friend when they overheard Yonatan's boastful taunts.Lia
Yonatan did not even bother to look at him. He checked his watch with a chilling laugh and said, "You've got ten minutes for Liam to show up. Don't say I didn't warn you."The words sent a wave of shock through Yafe and the rest of the Stone family, who stared at Yonatan, panic-stricken.Yafe was a mess, desperate to explain, but the sight of Yonatan's henchmen, eager and ready for a fight, stopped him dead in his tracks."Mr. Yonatan, I swear it's the truth. Liam has nothing to do with the Stone family anymore. You've made a mistake!"Yafe's face was flushed with urgency as he tried to convince the unmoved man."It's true, Mr. Yonatan! Liam and Celena were kicked out of the Stone family ages ago.""That's right! He's got nothing to do with us anymore. If you're after Liam, go to the villa at Emerald Lake. He's there, not here with us.""Mr. Yonatan, if you head over to Drunham City and ask anyone, they'll tell you the same thing: Liam and Celena have no ties to us Stones anymor
