Jameson waited at the entrance of the Manhattan Hotel for a long time. As soon as Sunniva's car arrived at the entrance, he walked up eagerly and opened the door for Sunniva.Jameson was dressed in a sharp gray suit, and his hair was done, which made him appear to be incredibly full of life. He had handsome features, to begin with, so he looked incredibly striking.On top of that, Jameson wore an extremely gentle smile on his face on purpose. The way he looked was practically the epitome of an elegant and sensible gentleman.Jameson happened to see Sunniva's well-endowed chest as she was getting out of the car, and his gaze darkened, revealing a hint of lustful wickedness in them.He prepared for a long time for dinner with Sunniva that night. All he wanted was to get with the beautiful but aloof heiress from an eminent family in the state.Sunniva was fancied by many young and talented gentlemen in Drunham City since she arrived. Jameson, the general manager of Jade Lotus Pharma
Jameson's expression darkened as soon as he heard what his assistant told him. In a suppressed voice, he growled, "What the hell is going on? How did Newlin end up being detained?"Before his assistant said anything, Jameson continued, "Forget it. Let's let Newlin be for now. Get a few more people here now. I won't spare any of you if any other issues were to happen again during dinner later!"The assistant nodded and left in a hurry.What a useless bunch of shit who could not get anything done!Jameson kept cursing furiously in his head. Thinking of the plan that night and also the fact that Sunniva was standing next to him, he forced himself to hold back his anger.He took a deep breath and forced a faint smile before he extended his hand to Sunniva. With a smile, he said, "I'm sorry to make you wait, Ms. Bristow."Jameson's gaze was too blunt, and it made Sunniva feel incredibly uncomfortable. However, out of politeness, Sunniva still shook his hand with a smile.The soft tou
Yousef's assistant, Marcus, and the new deputy manager, Ivar, needed to learn about the project.Sunniva took the project very seriously since it was in the clinical trial phase. That was because the drug would hit the market once the clinical trial was a success.Jameson's company occupied almost half of the sales channels in Drunham City. That was why Sunniva would agree to meet Jameson at such short notice. However, Sunniva was cautious. She told Liam to come with her before she attended the dinner.Sunniva's gaze and smile were frosty as she said, "It's getting late, Mr. Green. Can we get in now?""Huh?" It was after Jameson heard her voice that he snapped back to his senses and let out an awkward laugh. Thinking that he was funny, he said, "Please pardon me, Ms. Bristow. You're too beautiful today. I was mesmerized. I'm sorry about that. Let's head inside. The private room is ready for us."Seeing Jameson putting on an act made Liam sneer and say actually, "Hmph. Look at the
Jameson planned to teach Liam a lesson after he successfully got with Sunniva that night.Soon, they arrived at the private room.The room was huge. It was the most luxurious private room in the Manhattan Hotel. Only Jameson, Sunniva, and Liam were seated at the table in the room.Other than them, there were also six bodyguards in black suits in the room. They were all standing behind the three of them without any expressions on their faces.Liam glanced calmly at all the hostile bodyguards in the room and raised his eyebrow.It seemed that the dinner that night was going to be tough.Once Sunniva took a seat, she went right to the point and said, "Mr. Green, I'll cut straight to the chase. How do you want to discuss the collaboration?"Jameson smiled and did not give Sunniva a direct reply. He changed the topic instead and said, "Gosh, Sunniva, there is no one else here at this meetup tonight. Let's forget about the formalities. There's no need to address me as Mr. Green. You c
Everyone in the major war zones knew Liam could hold his liquor well. Even after all this time, people would still occasionally bring up the time he outdrank an entire camp of soldiers all by himself.Sunniva was incredibly sullen as she looked at the vodka in front of her that was almost spilling out of the glass. She wore a fake smile earlier out of courtesy, but she dropped it. She was stern as she said, "Mr. Green, I think there's no need for alcohol. I don't drink."Sunniva was not a fool. She could already tell that Jameson had ulterior motives when they were still at the entrance of the hotel. Of course, she knew why he wanted to make her drink.Jameson was not upset that Sunniva turned him down. It was as if he expected that she would do that. He simply replied with a smile, "No worries. It's fine if you don't drink. You have your bodyguard with you, don't you?"Jameson smiled at Liam, glancing at the glass of vodka on the table, and then he continued, "Liam, you're her bod
Jameson was pleased with Liam's reckless behavior. The plan was going smoothly for him. All Jameson needed to do later was to get Liam drunk. Once Liam was knocked out, it would be a walk in the park for him to deal with Sunniva.He carefully prepared a big present for Sunniva that night. After Liam chugged that glass of vodka, his face, as well as his neck, became flushed. Seeing that left Sunniva with great anxiety. She was afraid Jameson would get Liam drunk. She kept sending LIam signals with her eyes, but Liam did not notice them at all. It was unclear if it was because he was drunk or it was something else.Sunniva was dying of anxiousness deep down. She looked at Liam and Jameson with a tight frown, feeling a little regretful for bringing Liam with her.She thought it would be safer to have Liam with her. However, she did not expect that Liam would get riled up by Jameson so easily. Could he not tell that Jameson was deliberately trying to get him drunk?With her eyebrows
Liam had a brilliant plan, but it was a shame since Jameson would not let it happen.Jameson was mocking Liam in his head, but he maintained a big grin on his face. He first knocked back his glass of vodka, and then he said, "Come on, Liam. Bottoms up! I've already finished my glass!"Three glasses of strong vodka was very tough for an average person, but it was nothing to Jameson, who drank at dinner parties all year round. He had long built up a high alcohol tolerance, so it would not be a problem for him at all even if he were to drink three bottles of vodka that strong.On top of that, he was extremely prepared for that dinner that night. At that moment, his men surrounded the Manhattan Hotel. He was not worried that Sunniva would run away if he got drunk later. That was because there was no way for her to escape the hotel at all. Seeing that Jameson finished his drink, Liam pretended as if he refused to admit defeat. Gritting his teeth, he raised his glass and gulped it in on
The tingling feeling on Sunniva's thigh lingered even after she moved Liam's hand away. No man touched her legs before. Liam was the first, and he was a man who made Sunniva's heart flutter.Sunniva's cheeks instantly turned red. She glared at Liam flirtatiously and bit her rosy lips. The bashful look that she had as she held her tongue made her look incredibly seductive.Jameson already had a few drinks at this point. Seeing the way Sunniva looked instantly made his mind run wild. As he looked at the bashful look Sunniva had while biting her lips, he desperately wanted to pin her under him right away and have his way with her.Meanwhile, Jameson could tell that it was because of Liam that Sunniva had this look. The relationship between the two of them was certainly more than a boss and a bodyguard.Jameson felt infuriated for some reason at the thought that the high and mighty Sunniva in front of him was secretly involved with the pretty boy Liam.It felt like his wife had an aff
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
