"What am I talking about? It looks like you guys like to play dumb, and you just want me to say it out loud."Cheryl let out a sneer and continued, "Of course, I'm talking about exposing the fact that you've got an actor to impersonate Mr. Gibson. Do you think you can get away with it because nobody has met Mr. Gibson before? You didn't expect I'd show up, didn't you? Haha"Liam frowned as he looked at Spencer and asked, "Impersonate Mr. Gibson?"Spencer shook his head, looking at Liam helplessly. He did not figure out what was the reason either.Cheryl saw both of them exchanging looks, and she immediately thought they were both acting sheepish. She then sneered arrogantly and shouted while pointing at Spencer, "What else is there to say, Liam? The evidence is right here. This is the actor you got to impersonate Mr. Gibson. What do you have to say for yourself?"She continued in an icy tone, "You've been exposed by me, yet you're still refusing to admit it. Looks like you're not
"Do you have the guts to show up?" Cheryl looked at Liam and Spencer, taunting them. Before they could say anything, she added, "You wouldn't be too sheepish to go, would you?"Cheryl thought saying that would make Liam and the actor so scared that they would admit they were impostors.However, to her surprise, Liam did not panic at all. He replied calmly, "Alright. Let's have a face-off tonight then. I hope you'll still be able to laugh when the time comes."Right at that moment, Celena—who kept her head hung—suddenly raised her hand and shouted, "Liam!"Liam immediately turned to look at Celena, and he saw tears, as well as an intense disappointment, in her eyes. That made Liam a little confused.Celena got more and more disappointed after she saw that Liam did not know what he did wrong at all. Tears streamed down her face as she could no longer hold them back. With a catch in her throat, she said, "Enough! I mean it! I don't blame you. I know you got someone to impersonate M
Pinching the bridge of his nose, Liam nodded at Spencer and gestured for them to have a seat.Jovie was shocked after she saw Celena rushing into the bedroom in tears, but she was more worried instead. Seeing that Liam and the others were done talking, she dropped the drawing board in her hands and rushed to Liam.Looking concerned and anxious, she asked, "What happened to Mom, Dad? Hurry up and cheer her up."Liam patted Jovie's head gently and consoled her, saying, "Don't worry. I'll go check on her now. You just sit with Mr. Gibson on the couch for a while, alright?""Mm-hmm." Jovie nodded like the thoughtful girl that she was. Feeling a little worried still, she urged, "Hurry up, Dad. You have to make her feel better, alright?"Jovie was always consoled by Liam whenever she cried. Therefore, it should work to have Liam comfort Celena since she was crying.Liam opened the bedroom door and saw Celena lying on her stomach on the bed, crying sorrowfully while hugging a pillow. He
Celena's mind was running wild when Liam suddenly hugged her. Celena was infuriated, so, of course, she would not let him hug her as he wished. She kept struggling, trying to break free from Liam's embrace."Let me go! I don't want to talk to you right now! Get out of here now!"Liam kept hugging Celena tightly, letting her struggle without stopping her. He said shamelessly, "I'm not going to let go. I just won't let go. You're my wife."Celena was a little speechless. Seeing Liam acting so childish made her feel angry and amused at the same time. She said, "Can you be a little more serious?"It was only then Liam explained gently, "Celena, listen to me, alright? I didn't lie to you. The person I invited is the real Mr. Gibson. The one Cheryl invited is the impersonator. Even if you don't believe me, you should at least give me a chance to prove to you that I didn't lie to you. Alright?"Celena felt an urge to cry again. She hugged Liam's waist tightly and let her tears stream qui
Wasyl's words seemed humble, but he did not hide the smug look on his face at all.Seeing that, the rest of the Stone family fawned over him as well."That's right! You're too amazing, Mr. Abbott. As to be expected of the heir of Abbott Group, you're able to invite a big shot like Mr. Gibson over.""I agree! And Mr. Gibson is a world-renowned wedding dress. Look at the air he exudes. It's not something an average person could compete with.""Of course! It's Mr. Gibson we're talking about.""I'd like to see who else has the guts to look down on our family now that even Mr. Gibson has paid us a visit." "That's right! We have to tell the world about this. We need to show the other families we're so capable that we could invite Mr. Gibson over!""I can't wait to show off to them. The envy would kill them."Mr. Gibson was sitting in the middle of the room took a sip out of his cup to hide his awkwardness as he listened to the crowd singing praises and fawning over him.He felt esp
The penny suddenly dropped for Reginald. He smiled at the actor apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gibson. It was our fault for not thinking it through. I hope you'll forgive us."The rest of the Stone family members apologized to him with a smile as well, trying to please him. Seeing that, Wasyl smiled at him.The actor put down his coffee with pride. Looking generous, he nodded with a smile and said, "It's fine. It's good to keep a low profile. We'll be able to avoid getting into unnecessary trouble."The crowd showered him with compliments again.As the crowd kept flattering the actors, trying their best to make their presence known to him, Cheryl returned from the cottage.Cheryl rushed in, looking like all worked up. She did not look like a heiress from an eminent family at all. She shouted at the top of her lungs, "Dad! Mom! I'm back! Guess what I found out when I went to the cottage earlier?"Reginald was unhappy with how loud Cheryl was. He glanced at Mr. Gibson and
The actor's expression darkened a little as well. He was so nervous that his heart was in his mouth and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.Cheryl did not apologize. She looked at Yafe and Reginald instead and said, "Dad, Grandpa, why should I apologize? I'm telling the truth. I saw it at the cottage.""Cheryl, you've got me all confused. Hurry up and explain. What do you mean by another Mr. Gibson? He's right here, isn't he?" Sherah looked at Cheryl in confusion and pointed at Mr. Gibson who was sitting on the couch.Cheryl smiled and explained, "I went to Celena's cottage earlier, and I noticed they invited a Mr. Gibson for lunch today. I just happened to bump into him."Everyone was still befuddled after they heard her explanation.Qemal looked clueless as he said, "What are you talking about, Cheryl? Mr. Gibson is right here. How could Liam and Celena have invited him for lunch?"Everyone else started to echo as well."He's right. What the hell is going on?""I'm confus
Cheryl's tone was so sure and she did not sound like she was lying at all, and that left Wasyl stunned. He was extremely panicked, but he forced himself to pretend to be calm.The curiosity was killing the Stone family members, so they asked, "Cheryl, what the hell is going on? Why would there be two Mr. Gibson?""That's right. Mr. Gibson is sitting right here, isn't he?""Say something, Mr. Abbott. What is going on? Could there truly be two of them?""I'm a little confused. Does Mr. Gibson have a twin brother?""Mr. Abbott, you know Mr. Gibson, so hurry up and say something.""That's impossible! How could there be two Mr. Gibson? One of them must be fake!""That's right! One of them must be fake! How could there possibly be two of them?"Wasyl got more and more nervous as he listened to the crowd. He immediately stood up and refuted angrily, "Nonsense! How could there be two Mr. Gibson? The one Liam and Celena invited is a fake!"Have you forgotten who Mr. Gibson is? Liam is
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
