Yafe did not want to bring Reginald to the party. If it was in the past when Yafe was closer to Reginald, he would surely consider Reginald first.However, ever since the last time when Rain came looking for trouble and Reginald would not save Yafe, he held a grudge against Reginald.Hearing what Reginald said, Yafe threw the question to Celena and Liam. He asked them, "Celena, Liam. You two were there as well. What do you think?"Celena felt a little troubled. She did not know what to say.Right at this moment, Liam suddenly said, "It's fine. I can take you all there, but I have a request.""Liam, just shut up!" Yafe's gaze darkened. He glared at Liam and rebuked, "Liam, do you know what you're asking? You're just a useless man who married into our family. You have no place to say anything. Just back off."Cheryl, who rushed over, overheard what Liam said. She also glared at Liam and Celena. She chided, "That's right! Liam, do you think you have any right to speak here? You, too
" Also, I think the cottage we're staying at is too small for my family of three. You need to give us a bigger place to live. If I remember correctly, the Stone Mansion still has many empty places, right?"Everyone looked at Liam in fury. Sherah's and Yafe's faces darkened.Sherah pointed at Liam and barked, "Liam! Shut up! You have no right to raise demands! Just fuck off!"Everyone was surprised as they looked at Liam. They just looked at him as if he was an idiot.As for Sherah, no one cared about her.Yafe chimed in coldly, "Liam, do you know what the hell are you talking about? Letting Celena be a deputy manager is already a huge favor. Are you saying she should be promoted to be a manager?"Walter added, "That's right. Liam, do you know what you are talking about? The places that belonged to our family were assigned accordingly. If everyone were to be like you, asking to get a new place because they thought their place was uncomfortable, the Stone family would descend into
Cheryl could not stand the thought of being lorded around by Celena in the office in the future.She turned to look at Celena, who was still in a daze, and said grimly, "Celena, this is all part of your plan, isn't it? You would do anything to get promoted!"Celena was still in a daze. She came to her senses after she heard what Cheryl said. She anxiously explained, "N-no! I-I never thought I would get promoted and a raise.""Just shut up!" Sherah was infuriated looking at Celena. She got even more annoyed as she thought about how she sided with them a moment ago.Sherah glared at Celena and chided, "Good one, Celena. You sure know how to put on an act. You dare say that this wasn't your doing? I'm warning you. You better come clean. If not, don't blame me for being ruthless!"Sherah was just about to hit Celena, but Liam stopped her.Liam glanced at Sherah coldly. "I don't think I asked for your opinion, right?""You!"Although Sherah shuddered at Liam's glare, the fury in her
The small mansion was usually taken care of, so it was unnecessary to clean it up. After Liam and Celena returned to their cottage, they packed up their things and moved into the small mansion. The small mansion had two stories. There were three rooms upstairs while the living room, dining room, and kitchen were on the first floor.Liam and Celena started unpacking after they got to their new home while Jovie ran around in excitement. After Jovie saw one of the rooms that was in pink, she got so excited that she started dancing.Jovie rushed to Liam, running around him in circles in excitement, and said, "Dad, am I getting my room? There's a pink room upstairs. It's super pretty!"Liam quickly put down the things he was holding and picked Jovie up. He brushed her nose gently and said with a smile, "What do you think? Do you like our new home? We'll be staying here from now on."Jovie nodded excitedly and said, "Mmhmm. I like this new home."Right at that moment, Celena came down
With a long black dress and a pair of silver heels, Celena looked like a dazzling star when she was out of the small mansion.Because she was attending a party, Celena purposely did makeup with great details. Anybody would be impressed by her with that long black dress and bright red lips.Celena was usually dressed quite modestly. This was her first time wearing such a sexy long dress, so she was not quite used to it, especially with the deep V-neckline. She kept feeling that she would expose herself.Celena held Liam's arm awkwardly and whispered, "Darling, would it be too inappropriate for me to wear this dress to the party? How about I change to another one?"Cheryl was awestruck by Celena when she walked out. However, once she noticed that Celena was also wearing a black dress, her expression darkened.She could not hold herself back after she heard what Celena said. Filled with jealousy, Cheryl said, "You're doing this on purpose, aren't you, Celena? You know I'm going to we
Cheryl complained to Yafe and Reginald, feeling indignant.Yafe had a sullen look as he looked at Liam frostily and said, "How bold of you, Liam! Who permitted you to slap her? Hurry up and apologize to Cheryl now! I won't hold back otherwise!"Celena was shocked. She did not think that Liam would suddenly slap Cheryl. Looking at Cheryl's swollen cheek, Celena smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Cheryl. I apologize on his behalf.""You're sorry?" Cheryl was fuming. Refusing to let it go, Cheryl shouted, "Do you think saying sorry would be enough? If I slap you, and then say sorry to you, would you be alright with that?"Celena was speechless. For a moment, she did not know what to say. She quickly gave Liam a signal with her eye, trying to get Liam to apologize to Cheryl.However, Liam said indifferently, "So what if I slap you? Since your father didn't teach you how to respect others, I don't mind teaching you!"Both Yafe and Cheryl looked incredibly sullen as soon as
"Uhm—"Sherah was stumped. Nobody gave her any invitation when she left the garrison that morning. Where was she supposed to get an invitation?Hearing that an invitation was needed, Yafe quickly stepped forward and explained with a smile, "Sir, this was what happened. We were here this morning and met the new commander-in-chief's assistant. He was the one who invited us. He didn't give us an invitation—"However, the soldier cut him off frostily before he could finish. He was blunt as he said, "Enough! Nobody's allowed to enter without an invitation. I order all of you to leave immediately. Otherwise, I'll execute all of you by shooting for trespassing into the garrison."Sherah got so anxious after she heard what the soldier said that her face became flushed. She just kept staring into the soldiers' eyes in a standoff.Seeing that, Cheryl strutted forward in her heels, swaying her slender hips. With a smile, she pushed the soldier's gun aside."Gosh, don't be so angry, sir. We
The leader of the soldiers turned around and returned to the guard post at the entrance. He picked up the phone and said something briefly before hanging up.A couple of minutes later, the soldier again picked up the phone. After the person on the other end of the call said something, the soldier's expression darkened and he walked out of there soon after.Sherah smiled and asked, "What's the verdict, sir? Can we go in already?"However, the soldier's expression was frosty. He pointed his gun at Sherah and bellowed, "The audacity that you have! How dare someone pretend to be from the Pendragon War Zone!"Sherah was dumbfounded. She had no clue what happened at all. She quickly shouted, "What are you talking about, sir?"The soldier was filled with rage. Wasting no time, he told the soldiers next to him to subdue Sherah, Yafe, and the others.All the men were pinned on the floor with their hands behind their backs while the women had their hands restrained behind their backs.The
