Celena saw from the corner of her eyes that Liam was still sitting, so she quickly tugged at his arm. Turning her head to Liam, she whispered softly, "Liam, Mr. Miller is here. Hurry up and get up to greet him."It was only then that Liam reluctantly got up and greeted Mr. Miller with a fake smile. Then, he stood quietly next to Celena.Mr. Miller nodded at Celena arrogantly. His gaze got even frostier when it landed on Liam, and he said icily, "So this is the restaurant you chose, Ms. Stone? Isn't this room too…shabby? You know who I am. I've never dined at a place like this before."Upon saying that, Mr. Miller waved his hand in front of his nose with great disgust. It was as if the air in the room was incredibly stinky.Celena was already worrying that the restaurant she chose was too shabby. After she heard Mr. Miller's comment, her face reddened, and she looked extremely embarrassed and nervous.Celena hung her head and said, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Miller. It's my fault for n
The fake Mr. Miller sat in the center seat with great arrogance. His eyes under the mask were filled with lust as he looked at Celena. However, his gaze quickly turned cold when he looked at Liam. Then, he said icily, "Ms. Stone, you haven't introduced him. This is?"It was only then Celena realized it. She quickly got up and said, "I'm sorry for that. Let me introduce him to you. This is my husband, Liam Cole. He knew that you've helped me and taken care of me in the past. That's why he came along today. He wants to thank you in person."As soon as the fake Mr. Miller heard that Liam was Celena's husband, his gaze quickly turned frosty. He surveyed Liam disdainfully and sneered. "So this is your husband, Ms. Stone. He doesn't look like much."He looked at Celena again and continued, "Ms. Stone, I thought it was just going to be the two of us tonight. I didn't think you would bring someone else. You didn't even tell me beforehand. I don't meet just anybody."The mood in the room in
Celena had vodka with a medium alcohol concentration in her glass. It was not a big glass, but as soon she chugged it, her face became flushed.Celena's lips were slightly apart. Perhaps it was because the vodka was burning a little. Without realizing it, she was fanning her mouth, sticking her tongue out a little. Her cheeks were rosy because of the alcohol, making her look incredibly adorable.The fake Mr. Miller's gaze was filled with desire and possessiveness as he looked at the way Celena looked. At the same time, he felt Liam, who was sitting next to Celena, was a great eyesore.What a pity that a beautiful woman like Celena was with such a useless man.The fake Mr. Miller looked at Liam frostily. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as if something had crossed his mind. Then, he said indifferently, "Ms. Stone, didn't you say your husband wanted to thank me in person? He doesn't look like he wants to thank me at all. Does he not even want to raise a toast to me?"Celena quickly put dow
Seeing that Mr. Miller's expression got increasingly colder made Celena even more anxious. She raised her voice and barked, "Liam, what are you waiting for? Get up now and apologize to Mr. Miller!"Celena was so anxious that her face was completely flushed. She simply could not understand why Liam did that. She had told him that Mr. Miller had helped her, yet Liam still acted so rudely. Besides, did Liam not know who Mr. Miller was?Mr. Miller was a big shot that they could not afford to offend at all. The Stone Group and Mr. Miller were having a collaboration. What if Mr. Miller were to call off the collaboration in a fit of anger? Celena did not even dare to think about the consequences of that at all.Celena tugged at Liam's arm and kept sending him signals with her eyes. "I'm sorry, Mr. Miller. Don't be angry. I'll make him apologize to you right now."Looking at the angry glares from bodyguards, Liam patted Celena's hand gently, telling her to keep calm. However, Celena did no
Celena quickly said, "Thank you. Thank you so much, Mr. Miller.""Hold on. Don't thank me yet. I'm not done talking." The fake Mr. Miller cut Celena off.He stared at Liam frostily and said, "I can forgive him for being rude, but I want your husband to apologize to me on his knees right now and admit that he was wrong. I'll forgive him, then. Otherwise, I'll just cancel the collaboration with the Stone Group right away. I'll also make it known that your company has offended me, and anybody who dares to work with you guys in the future would be crossing me!"His words hit Celena like a bombshell. He wanted to cancel the collaboration with the Stone Group and tell the others that they had offended him! What was the difference between doing that and getting the Stone family blacklisted?Celena was stunned. It took her quite a while to regain her senses. Her face was covered in fear as she said anxiously, "I'm sorry, Mr. Miller. I'm really sorry. It's my fault for not thinking it throu
Celena had plucked up a lot of courage to mention the word "divorce." If she was not too disappointed, she never would have talked about it.Liam did not think that Celena would bring up "divorce," so he was stunned. He immediately looked at Celena and saw that her eyes were filled with tears, her face was filled with anxiousness and disappointment.Liam felt his heart drop. He quickly got up, held Celena's hand, and said softly, "Celena, trust me, alright? There's really something wrong with this Mr. Miller's identity. Trust me—"However, Celena did not wish to listen to his explanation at all. She shook his hand off, wiping her tears instead. Then, she looked at him with a complicated gaze and said, "Liam, I'm begging you, please. Stop messing around. You'll get me and my family killed if you continue messing around. Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Miller!"At that moment, the fake Mr. Miller sneered as he watched Celena and Liam fight with each other. Gloating, he said, "Liam, I a
Yafe pointed at Liam angrily and bellowed, "How insolent of you, Liam! Who do you think you are? How dare you question Mr. Miller's identity? If he's not Mr. Miller, then are you? You're just a useless man who married into our family. Stop embarrassing us. Hurry up and get out of here!""That's right! Who do you think you are, Liam? Who are you to question Mr. Miller!""What are you waiting for, Liam? Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Miller. Do you want to get our family killed?""Hurry up and apologize! Don't blame us for not showing you mercy if you don't!"In an instant, the Stone family members who were following behind Yafe were glaring at Liam furiously.Celena was stunned after she saw Yafe and the other Stone family members appearing in the room. Feeling a little lost and curious, she asked, "Dad? Why are you guys here?""You have the nerve to ask why we are here," said Yafe, looking sullen.He was steely as he glared at Celena and said, "You really are something else, Cele
Yafe's expression darkened. He glared at Liam furiously and bellowed, "How dare you! You've crossed the line, Liam! Do you know what you're talking about?"Yafe was truly pissed off. He was desperately wishing he could rush up to Liam and beat him into a pulp before he said anything more shocking.Celena was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. She rushed forward and pulled Liam's arm, wanting to drag him out of there. At the same time, she said anxiously, "Stop spawning nonsense, Liam! Please, I'm begging you, alright?"Liam grabbed Celena's icy hand instead and said in a serious tone, "Trust me, honey. This Mr. Miller is a fake. There's something wrong with his identity."The fake Mr. Miller sneered. He suddenly got up from the chair, staring at Liam with a frosty gaze and a sullen expression.The arrival of Yafe and the Stone family gave him the confidence to be cocky. He was filled with rage as he bellowed, "This is great. Liam, right? You've given me an eye-opening ex
