Even Spencer himself was stunned beyond words and kept staring at Dorian in astonishment, clearly still in shock over their sheer likeness.Dorian, on the other hand, scoffed when he sensed Spencer's gaze on him and thought to himself, 'The audacity of this impostor to stare at me so outright! And how dare he come here and try to ruin my business opportunity! I'll teach him not to mess with me!'With that, he sneered and leaped to his feet, then sauntered over to Liam and Spencer, his hands draped leisurely behind his back. His gaze swept over Spencer's entire body, and a glimmer of disdain flashed through his eyes when he took in Spencer's rather tatty-looking clothes. The audacity of this impostor to show up looking like this! He should have known that the real Spencer Gibson would never dress like this! What an idiot!Dorian, on the other hand, had put considerable effort into keeping up his appearance by dressing the way a world-renowned fashion designer would. He glanced at h
"I agree! Can't Liam tell just how distinguished Mr. Gibson is? How dare he accuse him of being an impostor!""He's just asking for trouble. Well, I'm perfectly fine with that, but he can't go around dragging us down with him!""Indeed! What happens if Mr. Gibson gets upset and takes his anger out on the rest of us as well? Maybe we should kick Liam out of this room while we're still ahead! We wouldn't want him to say something even more insulting!""Yes, yes! Let's kick him out right now!"The Stones all screeched angrily at Liam and Celena. Sherah had her hands on her hips as she hissed, "Who do you think you are, you dirty mutt? How dare you question Mr. Gibson's true identity? You are not welcome here! Get out of here!"Yafe's expression was dark and solemn. After all, Celena was his daughter, and the last thing he wanted was for 'Spencer' to get upset and refuse to help him due to his association with Liam and Celena. Cheryl's wedding on the 28th—as well as getting their ha
As he said this, he kept glancing at Spencer with a steely look as though daring him to continue defying him. Spencer shook his head in amusement and said, "I never thought the day I come across my doppelganger, he would turn out to be a crook trying to pass himself off as me and even have the audacity of accusing me of fraud!"Danny, too, was rather perplexed by this and shot Dorian a dirty look. "Well said, Mr. Gibson! Did you hear him threaten to call the cops? Well, I say go ahead then! We'll see who the cops arrest when they arrive!"The look of bemusement on Spencer's face intensified, and he shook his head once more. Finally, he turned to Liam with a solemn look. "Mr. Cole, you've seen how he is. Let me handle this!"Liam merely nodded but did not say a word. Dorian snickered. "I've never seen anything more unbelievable in my life! This crook, this swindler—daring to accuse me of fraud? How dare you threaten me, you impostor? I've never heard of anything more outrageous!"
Dorian immediately perked up and nodded matter-of-factly. "Of course I do! Carl…Carl, the head of the International Wedding Dress Confederation. How can I not know him? We've been friends for years now! We used to brainstorm our ideas together, and we still get together sometimes for a drink! I even went on a golfing trip with him a while ago!"The Stones all lapped this up without a question and cast Dorian looks of admiration. All of them, including Reginald himself, believed without a doubt that this was the real Spencer Gibson and that the one standing next to Liam was a fake!Reginald furrowed his brows and snarled, glaring at Liam, "Enough is enough, Liam! Take your impostor and get out of my sight! I will not allow you to continue humiliating us!"The rest of the Stones, however, were no longer paying attention, for they were busy whispering among themselves about this vital piece of information. "My God, did you hear that? Pierre Carl! Do you know that he's not only the head
Wasyl, too, was stunned beyond words. Clearly, he had not expected their opponent to come up with such an ingenious idea and was struggling just as much as Dorian to find a solution. A glimmer of panic flashed through his eyes.He was just about to open his mouth with a protest when the Stones cut him off with an excited chorus of exclamations. "Mr. Gibson, you show him who's the boss! Go on, call Mr. Carl on the phone right now!""Come on, Mr. Gibson! Call Mr. Carl right now, and that'll teach him not to question you!""Just one phone call, Mr. Gibson, and that'll shut him up! Oh, we're all so excited to hear Mr. Carl's voice on the phone!""Go on, Mr. Gibson!"Cheryl, too, had been swayed. This was the esteemed Pierre Carl they were talking about, and she would give everything to hear his voice!She quickly approached Wasyl and snaked her arm around his in a gesture of subservience. "My love, why don't you ask Mr. Gibson to do it? I'd like to hear Pierre Carl's voice on the pho
The Stones, who just a few moments ago, had been wearing expressions of disappointment, all whipped their phones out of their pockets and proffered them to Dorian immediately. "Mr. Gibson, you can have mine as well!""Me, too! I have my phone with me, Mr. Gibson. Please take it!""You can use mine, Mr. Gibson! You can't let that impostor get away with insulting you like this!""Go on, Mr. Gibson! Call Mr. Carl right now and prove that impostor wrong!"Everyone was practically clamoring over each other, trying to offer their respective phones to a rather alarmed-looking Dorian. Dorian stared, his smile frozen, at the dozens of cell phones dangling in front of his face, trying desperately to think of a way out of this predicament. At the same time, he kept shooting Wasyl pleading looks, as though begging to be rescued!Rats!Even Wasyl was beginning to panic at this, but he knew he had to do something, so he stepped forward and snarled at the Stones, "Enough! Why should Mr. Gib
Sherah leaped out from amongst the crowd and shrieked, pointing rudely at Spencer, "Well, well, well! Why aren't you calling then, 'Mr. Gibson'? You said you were the real deal, didn't you? And if I recall correctly, you were the one who suggested calling Mr. Carl to prove who was the real one and who was the fake, right? Well, do it, then! Don't keep us waiting!"Spencer did not seem at all fazed by the Stones' scorn and mockery. He merely smiled calmly, as though they had been talking about the weather, and said, without so much as a hint of nervousness, "Alright then. I'll phone him right now!"Everyone watched in bafflement as Spencer found Pierre Carl's contact number in his phone and dialed it. The call soon went through and was picked up by a middle-aged man with a peculiar accent, who roared with laughter and said, "Hahaha! My dearest Spencer! It's been ages! How have you been? I wasn't expecting your call. Is everything alright?"Everyone's jaws dropped upon hearing this. T
'I have already given you a chance to redeem yourselves, but you chose not to take it! Very well then! In that case, you shall not blame me for being merciless!"Realization dawned on the Stones as they digested Wasyl and Dorian's words.It made perfect sense! Liam and his impostor had deliberately planned this out beforehand and stationed another actor to pass as Pierre Carl on the phone! They had almost been fooled, but thankfully, Wasyl and Dorian had seen right through them!Seeing that Dorian refused to budge, Spencer shook his head in resignation and said, "Very well then. If you do not wish to admit your mistake, I'm afraid I have no choice but to call for desperate measures."With that, he dialed another number on his phone. Dorian and Wasyl exchanged nervous glances. They both had a bad feeling about this. They had to think quickly.Dorian snapped, "Who are you calling?"Spencer turned to glance at him, standing with one hand behind his back as though he was supervising
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
