A woman with a flair for the dramatic strutted through the front door, her sensuality a stark contrast to Lily's icy composure. While both women donned provocative attire, Lily's presence was cool and detached, whereas the newcomer seemed to flaunt her flirtatiousness with every gesture.

Clad in a business suit that did little to contain her ample curves, her blouse might give way at any moment.

Her face, caked in makeup, bore a scowl as she surveyed Liam and Thora from the threshold of the break room.

Thora's heart skipped a beat at the sight of her. She recoiled slightly, a whisper of fear in her voice, "Mr. Cole, watch out. She's clearly here for you."

That was no ordinary woman; she was a notorious figure within the Bristow Group, infamous not for her business savvy but for her biting wit and mean spirit.

She was the latest companion of the new vice president, Ivar. Rumor had it she was more than just a colleague, she was his lover.

    Some onlookers, thrilled by the unfolding drama, could not resist capturing the moment. They covertly filmed videos and snapped photos, quickly sharing the juicy content in the company's group chat.Thora had every intention of slipping away as Xora marched over, but the way Xora was laying to Liam made her pause.With a smile, Thora stepped forward and interjected, "Ms. Hardy, let's not get heated. Mr. Cole is new around here, and he's always on the go as Ms. Bristow's right-hand man. It's easy for wires to get crossed with Mr. Nicoson."Look, Mr. Nicoson's already left without making a fuss. Mr. Cole is part of Ms. Bristow's crew, and to make him apologize publicly to Mr. Nicoson now... well, it doesn't seem quite fair..."Thora's words were cut short by a sharp slap that echoed through the air!Xora's expression turned to stone as she delivered a fierce slap to Thora's cheek, her gaze icy as she hissed, "Thora, zip it! What's this got to do with you? Did I come here for you? Wh

    Liam did not take Xora seriously at all. He looked at Thora calmly instead and asked in a solemn tone, "Thora, what are you afraid of? Even if you're just an ordinary staff member of the Bristow Group, you're still a person with dignity. Do you think it's alright for her just to slap you as she pleases?"Thora's expression changed as she heard those words. Of course, she was not alright with it. But, so what if she was reluctant to accept it?That was how society worked in that day in age. She was just an insignificant staff member who finally got a job at the Bristow Group. Her livelihood depended on this job.Xora was the manager of the marketing department. She was not someone a mere staff member like Thora could afford to mess with.Thora had a complicated expression and looked upset. She hesitated for a while, but she still held Liam's hand and said, "I understand everything you said, Mr. Cole. But let's just forget it. After all, we're just insignificant staff members of the

    Liam sneered and said, "So what if I slapped you? This slap teaches you that even if Thora is merely a staff member, you can't humiliate her as you please. "Every staff member in a company is human, and they have their dignity. They are also a part of the Bristow Group. As a manager, not only do you not respect them, but you're arrogant and domineering toward them. So what if I slapped you?"The staff members who were once insulted and bullied by Xora and the other superiors started to become angry upon hearing what Liam said.Liam's words struck a chord with them. They were nothing more than mere staff members, but they were still a part of the Bristow Group. They were humans, and they had their dignity!Just because they did not hold high positions, did that mean they should be bullied and humiliated? Why should they endure that?All of the staff members who were once bullied by Xora glared at her furiously, dying to charge at her and give her a couple of slaps.Thora did not

    Xora became even more upset after she heard Liam's words. Her eyes were filled with rage. It was as if she was about to devour Liam. Her voice was frosty as she said, "What else do you want?"Liam frowned, his expression darkened. The air around him became colder as well. He pointed at Thora and said frostily, "Apologies to Thora right now!"Xora was first taken aback. Then, she shouted furiously, "Dream on! Do you want me to apologize to an insignificant staff member like her? Can she bear to accept it?"Liam sneered, exuding an intimidating air all of a sudden. He took a couple of steps forward and stared at Xora. He asked in return, "Oh? Is that so?"Xora was so frightened that her legs turned to jelly. She thought of how Liam slapped her without hesitation at all earlier. She could still feel the burning pain on her cheeks as well. With all that as her reminder, she quickly took a few steps back.Feeling nervous, she shouted, "D-don't come over. What do you want to do?"Liam

    Liam turned to look at Thora. After he saw that she was worried and anxious that he eased up on being intimidating.Liam then ignored Xora and sat on the couch again, picking up and flipping through the magazine again calmly.Xora was infuriated by Liam's attitude. She glared at Liam and Thora ferociously and threatened through gritted teeth, "I'll remember what happened today! Liam, Thora, just wait and see! I definitely won't let you off the hook! "Especially you, Thora. You're just an insignificant staff, yet you have the guts to make me apologize to you. I'll have ways to deal with you as long as you're still in the office!"In an instant, all eyes were on Liam and Thora.Some of them felt sorry for them, some were gloating, and some were upset with Xora.Many of the staff in the office started to discuss softly. Those who were gloating thought that Liam was simply asking for trouble. Everyone in the company knew about Xora and Ivar's relationship. Nobody had the guts to off

    Before the crowd resumed working, Sunniva's assistant, Holly, appeared at the door in a rush.As soon as Holly appeared, she attracted the attention of the male staff members of the marketing department. Holly was pretty, had a good figure, and was capable. She was the ideal lover for many of the men in the company.Holly immediately found Liam. Her cheeks turned rosy as soon as she saw Liam.She walked up to Liam with her face flushed and said softly, "Liam, Ms. Bristow is looking for you. She wants to see you in her office."Liam looked up at Holly. Her cheeks got even redder as soon as his gaze met hers, and she quickly hung her head, turning her gaze away."Alright. I got it. I'll head over now," Liam replied. He tossed the magazine on the table and followed Holly to Sunniva's office.The room was abuzz with passionate discussion as soon as Liam and Holly left."What the hell is going on? Ms. Bristow is looking for Liam as soon as Xora leaves. Could Ms. Bristow be trying to

    "You're the general manager of this company. Are you just going let a woman like Xora continue staying her?" Liam asked Sunniva in return with a frown.Sunniva sighed. She walked up to her desk and put her cup of coffee down. Then, she sternly told Liam, "It's not as simple as you think. "Ivar is transferred to Drunham City from the headquarters. He was personally appointed by Yankel's mother, and he's her distant relative. There's only one purpose for him to be transferred here—to stage a coup and replace me."You are my bodyguard, and you've offended both Ivar and Xora at this juncture. That is very disadvantageous to me. Do you understand what I mean?"Liam immediately understood what she meant. He frowned, and the air he exuded changed drastically as he asked, "About Yankel, is the Bristow family not planning to stop?"Sunniva could feel the change in the air Liam exuded. As soon as she turned to look at Liam, she was stunned by the cold and aggressive air that he was giving

    After Liam left the office, Sunniva turned around and watched Liam's back with her mind filled with confusion. Who the hell was he?How could a bodyguard give off such a powerful gaze and might so casually? He was just like such an almighty powerful person that people could not help but wish to worship and submit to him.However, if he was so powerful, why would he be willing to hide in a small city like Drunham City and be a bodyguard to Sunniva?Sunniva's mind got messier the more she thought about it. She quickly shook her head, dispelling all the messy speculations that were in her head.At that moment, there were plenty of things for her to be worried about.Sunniva took a deep breath before she returned to her desk to handle the matters regarding their collaboration with the Jade Lotus Pharma Group.Meanwhile, Jameson was in the office of the general manager at the Jade Lotus Pharma Group. He was furious as he swiped all the files off his desk and smashed a few of the decor

    What would Liam do if he found out Prince Faber had captured his wife? Surely he would not hesitate to turn the entire city upside down to look for her?Prince Faber was more than familiar with Liam's fierce loyalty and could not help but begin to worry at the prospect of having to face his wrath. He stared at Keyon's leering face and asked with belated realization, "Mr. Yeager, you ordered me to capture all those people from the Drunham City Connoisseurs, but the truth is, your sole target has always been Liam's wife. Is that right?"Keyon nodded, smiling. "That's right. We could care less about those businessmen. All we wanted was to get our hands on Celena Stone!"I must admit I was very surprised when I found out that Celena Stone is the wife of the great King Pendragon. Not only that, but I made an even more shocking discovery—it turns out that Liam is none other than the lone survivor of the Cole family, the noble clan who were allegedly wiped out seven years ago!"The ment

    After a few moments' hesitation, he finally decided to shoot his shot. "Mr. Yeager, there is something I don't understand. Why did the Yeagers order these businessmen's capture? I've looked into their backgrounds, and they are all honest businessmen who have not broken the law before. If the media catches wind of this, they will surely accuse me of abusing my power…"This was what Prince Faber had been worried about. He had already investigated the people whom the Yeagers ordered to be captured and did not understand why the Yeagers wanted them imprisoned. They were all civilians who had not committed any crime, and he dared not even imagine the consequences if the public found out he had ordered the incarceration of innocent citizens.Keyon understood immediately Prince Faber's concern. He smiled and replied in a reassuring tone, "Worry not, Prince Faber. We Yeagers have taken care of everything. We have made absolutely sure to cover up all your tracks, and no one will know you were

    Meanwhile, Celena and the group were taken out of the hotel and shoved forcefully into a couple of jeeps waiting at the entrance. They were whisked away to a nearby military base. Before they could even get their bearings straight, they found themselves being tossed into holding cells. Celena, on the other hand, was taken separately to a small, dark room, illuminated only by the barest sliver of light that peeped in through a tiny window. The room was entirely empty, save for a metal bed frame. A sour stench hung in the air, and it was clear this room had been abandoned for a very long time. A soldier shoved Celena roughly into the room, and before she could realize what was happening, the soldier slammed the door shut.The soldier had pushed Celena so hard that she fell onto the ground, but upon seeing that her captor was about to leave, she leaped to her feet and sprinted over to the door. "Sir, can you tell me what I did wrong? Can you please have mercy on me? Can you at least

    Tristan seemed just as baffled as they were. He returned their puzzled gazes with an equally perplexed one of his own. "I… I have no idea…"The general glanced sharply in their direction, then gestured to his soldiers and declared sternly, "Take them away!"His soldiers obliged and stepped forward to restrain the members of the Drunham City Connoisseurs, who all shrieked in alarm, "Why are you taking us away?""General, what did we do wrong? We didn't do anything illegal, so why are you arresting us?""Mr. Xander, save us! They've got this all wrong!""What's going on here? Why are they arresting only us?"Celena's entire body was shaking like a leaf. She eyed the soldiers around her and asked, stammering, "General, what did we do wrong? Why are we being captured? Where are you taking us?"Tristan, stricken with panic, shoved a soldier aside and shouted at the general, "General, I'm the president of the Drunham City Connoisseurs, and I want to know why we're being taken away.

    Celena was utterly terrified by the sudden turn of events. She stared pale-faced at the soldiers around her, not daring to move even a muscle. What was going on?All of a sudden, a man in a uniform stepped into the room. The badge on his shoulder indicated to everyone that he was a general. The heavy thumping of his boots echoed through the silent room with every step he took. All eyes were on him as he stepped onto the stage.He carried himself with great authority, and clearly, this man was not one to be messed with. He scanned the room as if searching for someone. Finally, he announced in a deep, resounding voice, "Do not fear, ladies and gentlemen. We are here on a routine check after receiving a tip-off regarding your conference. We will release you all once we have carried out our investigation, and the process will be quicker and smoother if you all cooperate. "Now, I would kindly request you get your documentation ready so that my men may confirm your identity."Everyone

    Derek nodded earnestly and replied, "Of course it's true. My sources have never failed me. I wouldn't have trusted you with this information if I didn't think you'd be interested."Celena stared at him for a moment, then turned to glance in the direction of the people he had pointed. She could not help but be tempted by the offer. She considered this for a few moments, then accepted his offer. "Alright then, Mr. Duncan. I'll go with you. Thank you for inviting me."The smile on Derek's face widened. He could hardly believe his luck—Celena had agreed to go with him! Taking that first step was always the hardest, but he had done it!Unbeknownst to Celena, Derek already knew her long before their first meeting at the conference. Her name was known far and wide in Drunham City, not least because of her beauty, but because of her—in the eyes of the public—tragic marriage. Celena had earned herself a reputation as one of the most beautiful women Drunham City had ever seen, and although

    The attention they received, however, was large due to Celena and her young, handsome companion, who was a man named Derek Duncan. Their attractive looks, both individually and combined, were easily the topic of discussion that night. Everyone who laid eyes on them admired both their good looks and brains, for certainly only the cream of the crop were allowed to attend this prestigious event. What made this feat even more impressive was the fact that they were both so young!Aside from her beauty, Celena's name was already known far and wide in the business world, not just because of her strong leadership but due to her association with Liam and her company's connections with many international corporations. She had started her business from scratch, but within a few short months, she had single handedly built it up to become one of the top ten grossing companies in Drunham City.There were hundreds of people gathered there tonight, and their seats had been allocated according to t

    The moment Clifford left, Kastor turned to Liam with a wide grin, all hint of his hostility now gone. "Mr. Cole, thank God I arrived just in time."He raised his brows as he said this, and Liam took this to mean he was trying to claim credit. Truth be told, he would have been able to handle things on his own even without Kastor's help, but he decided this was a detail Kastor did not need to know. Instead, he returned Kastor's smile graciously. Kastor, like a child, burst into laughter at this. No further words were exchanged, but they understood the message nonetheless.Jeffrey also grinned. "Kastor, what brings you here all of a sudden?"Kastor replied, "Ah, you might not know this, Mr. Stein, but I actually own this very restaurant that you're sitting in right now. One of my employees called me for help, citing that a brawl was about to break out, so I rushed over immediately. I had no idea it would turn out to be you and Mr. Cole!""Ah, what a pleasant surprise, then!" Jeffrey

    Clifford scowled upon hearing this. He cracked his knuckles menacingly as he stared at Kastor through narrowed eyes.Kastor did not seem at all intimidated by this. Instead, he brushed past him and approached Liam, smiling. "Mr. Cole, I apologize for the delay. I rushed over as soon as I heard the news, but I was late anyway. I'm so sorry for the wait."Liam's expression eased up slightly. He tugged the corners of his mouth into a strained smile but did not reply. Clifford's expression turned even more sour when he sensed Kastor's tone. He asked sharply, "What is the meaning of this, Kastor? Are you intent on making me your enemy?"Clifford's reputation was known far and wide, and many feared him, but Kastor was not one of them. He shot Clifford a look of utmost disdain and replied, smirking, "Yes, Clifford, that's exactly what I'm going to do. So what if we will be enemies from now on? What are you going to do about it?"He was confident that Clifford would not dare to retaliate
