Yale, discarded at the entrance, wanted to fight back, but the sight of the stern soldiers outside quelled his courage. He slunk away, nursing his bruises, as onlookers applauded. Yale had always been a bully, hiding behind his status and connections. His comeuppance was a sight for sore eyes.Liam lounged on the sofa in Kolten's office, his gaze fixed on the cowering Kolten. "Do you even know who I am?" he asked composedly.Kolten addressed him with utmost reverence, "Mr. Lynch has made his point clear."Yet, Liam simply chuckled and gave a dismissive shake of his head."Kolten, five years have flown by, and you've really come into your own."Kolten blinked, puzzled, as he stared back at Liam.Without a word of explanation, Liam reached into his coat and flicked a medal toward Kolten.Catching it reflexively, Kolten glanced down and was jolted as if hit by a lightning bolt. His face lit up with excitement. He gazed at Liam, bowing deeply, cradling the medal in his hands, his

At that moment, Wasyl and Cheryl emerged from the building, grinning from ear to ear. They spotted Kolten right away, standing like a sentinel at the entrance.Chery's grip on Wasyl's arm tightened with excitement as she pointed eagerly at the retreating figure. "Wasyl, look quick! That's Kolten!"Wasyl's eyes followed Cheryl's pointing finger, his face lighting up with excitement before furrowing in confusion. "Kolten's a rare sight in public! He looks like he's seeing someone off. Who could be important enough to get Kolten to make an exception?"While talking, Wasyl narrowed his eyes for a better look, then hesitated. "Hey, doesn't that look a bit like Liam?" Cheryl paused, surprised at the suggestion, then peered intently in the same direction. The side profile was blurry from that distance, but there was a resemblance.However, Cheryl shook her head with conviction, countering, "What are you talking about? Is that loser Liam getting Kolten to escort him out? No way he's got th

"As you're all aware, we're on the cusp of kicking off our project with Max Group. We need new suppliers, and fast. If we miss our deadlines, the fallout for the Stone family will be massive. We're here to figure out who's going to step up and lock down some new partnerships."With Reginald's words hanging in the air, a wave of serious chatter swept through the room."Looks like someone's got it out for us. Why else would our suppliers be the only ones getting hit?""It's got to be one of our rivals. Not many landed a deal with Max Group, and the ones who didn't are green with envy. They're playing dirty, trying to make sure we don't come out on top."The room buzzed with chatter when Cheryl shot up from her seat, her voice cutting through the noise. "Celena's the lead on this project, right? With the mess we're in, she's the one to deal with it. Let's send Celena!"Her words set off a chorus of agreement."Absolutely! Celena's running the show. She's got to fix the material scre

The rest of the Stone family and the executives piled on with their ridicule, particularly the Stone family."Come on, Celena. You've got to step it up, you only have two days!""Psh, her? Two days? She'd be lucky to figure it out in a month! I can't fathom why she's so eager to compete when she's clearly clueless!""Would anyone like her even get a shot at cooperation, let alone be in charge, if it weren't for sheer pity?""Ha! She's clueless, alright. Remember her big talk about proving herself? Well, here's her chance. However, just look at her. Does she seem ready to prove anything?"Celena absorbed the jeers, a knot of injustice tightening in her chest. She kept her head down, her face ashen, as tears streamed down unchecked.Why did they despise her so much when she was one of their own, a Stone through and through?The conference room door swung open. Liam strode in. He quickly found Celena in the corner, her eyes red and tears streaming down her face. His expression dark

Despite Liam's assurances, worry gnawed at Celena. She thought back to his promise to Reginald. Though her anxiety lingered, she forced herself to focus and began organizing the papers scattered across the table."I'll go talk to those suppliers right now!"She was determined to sort out the situation for Liam's sake.Liam caught the resolve in her eyes and spoke gently, "There's no need. I'll take you home to rest. Forget about the supplier issue. By tomorrow, they'll be lining up at your door ready to sign the contracts."Celena's eyes widened in shock as Liam's words sank in. "They'll seek us out? How... How could that be? Liam, you're not pulling my leg, are you?"Liam chuckled at the sight of her, mouth agape and eyes as big as saucers. "When have I ever tricked you? It's the real deal. I've got some old friends in the materials trade. I'll give them a ring once we're back!""Is that so? That would be amazing!"Liam's reassurance washed away Celena's concerns, and she visib

The atmosphere was tense the next day in the Stone family conference room. Everyone was waiting, the air thick with impatience and frustration."Celena, what's the hold-up? You said the suppliers were coming today. We've been here for over an hour and with not a soul in sight.""Are you trying to pull the wool over our eyes? If you can't cut it, you need to face the music and stop fooling yourself and everyone else!" Cheryl's patience was hanging by a thread, and she was the first to call Celena out. Her face was an icy mask as she stared her down, eyes gleaming with the thrill of the unfolding drama. Once Cheryl opened the floodgates, the rest piled on with their own accusations. "Celena, have you secured the supplier or what? If you haven't, just spit it out. Don't waste our time. Step down and let someone with the stuff take over. Do you have any idea how much the Stone family stands to lose if this deal tanks?" "Seriously! Did you find them or not? Now's not the time for game
My Invincible Husband Has Returned Chapter 174
The rest of the Stone chimed in with their own accolades."She's been with us for years, a real standout. A far cry from those blowhards with nothing to show. They're all talk, no muscle, always trying to punch above their weight. It's downright shameful!""You said it. Dreamers like that, thinking they can waltz into the company. They'd be nothing but trouble, a ticking time bomb.""Exactly, they ought to be kicked to the curb. Lucky to even have a seat at our table, and still they're chasing pie-in-the-sky dreams!"The conference room buzzed with a mix of sneers aimed at Celena and applause for Cheryl.Just then, Teresa, who was fed up with the main bloodline hogging the spotlight, cut in, "Isn't this a bit too convenient? Our supplier ran into trouble, and Cheryl just happened to snag their contract. This doesn't smell right. We should dig a little deeper into this one. It's fishy!""Teresa, that's a low blow! I've poured my heart and soul into this family, into our business.

Reginald had not even reached the conference room door when a cascade of footsteps announced their arrival. Five chairmen with the presence of titans strode in, their assistants in tow.Their entrance charged the room with a palpable tension.Those were the big shots of the Drunham City decor materials scene, and they had the mighty Jerden Group at their backs. Their power was unmatched."Mr. Zimmer, Mr. Wells, Mr. Sabine, Mr. Quier, Mr. Ford, what brings you to our doorstep so unexpectedly? We're caught off guard and couldn't prepare a proper welcome. Please, forgive us," Reginald said, his smile betraying his nerves as a sheen of sweat glistened on his brow.The Stone family's top brass and relatives lined up on either side, each wearing a sycophantic grin. At the forefront was Mr. Zimmer, the big shot of Zimmerman Group and the kingpin of Drunham City's renovation materials market, a man with deep pockets. He cast a detached glance at Reginald and cut to the chase. "Mr. Stone,

The new plan was a hit; every assassin in the room was on board.One of them, posing as a bellhop, stood at Liam's door, ready to knock.However, he never saw it coming. Before his knuckles could rap on the door, it burst open from the inside.Wham!The would-be knocker was sent flying, slamming into the corridor wall with a thunderous crash.The others barely had time to register what happened when Liam burst out, a quintuple-edged dagger in hand.He was a shadow among them, his blade a flash of silver that danced across their wrists, disarming them of their scimitars.In moments, the hallway was a cacophony of clattering blades and piercing screams that filled the hotel.The leader, clutching his bleeding wrist, stared at Liam in horror, leaning casually against the doorframe. Liam's dagger dripped crimson. He watched the fallen assassins with an unfeeling smirk."You think you can play assassins, skulking around in the dark?" Liam's voice dripped with scorn. With a casual f

Noel was a name that turned heads in Rasford City, especially since the Noel family ran a successful pharmaceutical business. In any place, those in the medicine game hold sway, and Noel was no stranger to the city's shadowy bigwigs. After all, nobody was immune to getting sick!Noel was quickly taken to the hospital for emergency care. Meanwhile, the assassin he had hired had pinpointed the hotel where Liam and Sunniva were hiding out.Sunniva was still visibly shaken when they reached the hotel. Too frightened to be alone, she could only gaze at Liam with watery eyes, silently pleading to stay in his room.Liam, left with little choice, let Sunniva take his room while he made do with the couch in the living room.After the night's earlier ordeal, combined with the alcohol and the drug slipped into her drink, Sunniva washed up and promptly fell asleep in Liam's bed.Liam, however, remained on the living room sofa, poring over the mysterious Arcane Manuscript.Out of nowhere,

"Thud!"Then, without missing a beat, Liam grabbed Noel by the throat and landed another punch on him. He struck him squarely on the chin, dislocating it and forcing a couple more of his teeth to fly out. "Ahhh!" Noel shrieked. His face was swelling up to twice its usual size, and he could not help letting out a cry of agony. Liam did not stop there, though. His fists rained down all over Noel without ceasing, his every punch striking where it hurt the most. "F*ck! You're going to pay for this!" Noel grunted. He would make this twat pay! What gave him the right to attack him? He was an heir of the great Noel bloodline, and he would make this cocky, self-righteous prat pay!Liam scoffed, then swung his fist and struck Noel squarely in his abdomen.Noel spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to utter another word from the sheer pain, but this did not stop Liam. The next moment, he grabbed Noel by the hair and bashed his head against the wall behind him.A sickening crunch alerted

The words had barely left her mouth when Noel lost his patience, swung Sunniva around and slapped her hard across the cheek. "D*mn it, you f*cking sl*t! What the f*ck are you shouting for? Let me tell you this—no one will come to save you, not even if you cry yourself hoarse!"The slap came so abruptly that Sunniva was momentarily stunned. Her cheek soon swelled up, and a bright red mark in the shape of Noel's palm began to take shape. Noel had hit her so hard that the back of her head struck the wall behind her, and all she could feel was an intense, throbbing pain that reverberated through her skull. Blood seeped out of the cut on the back of her head, and she could feel the warm liquid trickle down her neck. She suddenly felt strangely faint and stopped resisting. Noel seized the opportunity to strip her naked, grinning. "Ms. Bristow, I suggest you stop wasting your energy. You're mine tonight, and there's no running now!"He had long since heard of Sunniva's beauty, and he was

"Mr. Noel? What is the meaning of this?" Sunniva shrieked in alarm. Noel was wiping his face with a towel when she spoke, and upon hearing her voice, he slowly moved toward her. "Ms. Bristow, do I really need to spell this out for you? You're a gorgeous woman, and I admire you very much. There's nothing to be afraid of, darling. We're all adults here, so there's no need to be shy. I promise that I'll make this the most memorable night you've ever had. "Ms. Bristow, do you know how many women would die to be in your position? Women everywhere bend over backwards to keep me happy, and most of them are willing to please me just to get my business. If you still want this partnership, you better be a good girl and keep me satisfied. If not…"Noel trailed off, for at this point, he had already reached the bed and was just inches away from Sunniva. His flesh quivered with his every move, and he was so tall that he loomed over Sunniva's tiny body like a beast eyeing its prey. "You… you
My Invincible Husband Has Returned Chapter 2287
Noel was not used to being rejected so outwardly. Sunniva's indifference infuriated him greatly. He scoffed, then brought his hand up to his nose and took a deep breath as if trying to catch a whiff of any scent that Sunniva had left on his skin. He sneered. "Ms. Bristow, it seems you are intent on challenging me?"Sunniva replied curtly, "So what if I am?""Very well then! You like to do things the hard way, eh? Let me make this clear—the moment you step out the door, the partnership will be called off! I will no longer do business with Bristow Group!"The audacity!With a smug grin, Noel cast Sunniva one last look before returning to his seat. He watched her coolly and made no move to stop her from leaving again, for he knew he had her cornered. Sunniva stood rooted to the spot, her brows furrowed in deep concentration. Noel knew he had Sunniva caught in a dead-end situation. He smirked and raised his glass to his lips. "How about this, Ms. Bristow? Just one last drink with
My Invincible Husband Has Returned Chapter 2286
A glimmer of annoyance flashed through Noel's eyes, but he continued to reach toward Sunniva, grinning. "Ms. Bristow, I really, really admire you…"Sunniva froze. The next moment, she leaped to her feet, still holding her wine glass, and ducked out of Noel's reach. She replied, raising his glass in an attempt to disguise her nervousness, "Mr. Noel, I greatly admire your success as a businessman as well. Cheers to our partnership!"Noel's arm hovered in mid-air, looking awkward and forlorn as it dangled out of reach of its target. A strained silence fell over them. The tension lasted only a few minutes, though, because Noel soon regained his composure and drew his arm back. He clinked his glass against Sunniva's as though nothing out of the ordinary had happened. The two of them had been drinking for quite some time now, and Noel was growing more and more inebriated by the minute. He was a pale man, and so the alcohol gave him an unnatural flush that made him look as though he was

"Thank you, Uncle Leonardo." With that, Liam and Cirocco left the manor. They returned to the hotel to meet up with Calum and Sunniva. Liam and Cirocco were waiting in the hotel's presidential suite, going over their plans for the upcoming days, when Calum burst in, looking flustered. Liam was the first to notice how strangely nervous Calum seemed. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"Calum explained hastily, "Sir, Ms. Bristow was just taken away by a group of locals. She claimed that they were the businessmen we were here to meet. Since you weren't back yet, she decided to go meet them herself. She wants me to inform you that they have gone to the Saint Louisiana Hotel and that you can meet them there."Liam furrowed his brows at this. Calum asked, "Sir, are you going to check on them?"Liam considered this a moment, then grabbed his phone and stood up. "I think I should. You and Cirocco should stay here and go over our plans. I'll pop by the Saint Louisiana Hotel. If Jeffre

"Unfortunately, I cannot reveal to you the identities of the remaining five yet, but don't you worry—when the time comes, you will find out soon enough."Just remember, Liam, you are not alone! No matter what happens, the six of us will be here to help you the best we can!" Leonardo said, squeezing Liam's shoulder in reassurance. His expression was solemn, but there was a spark in his eyes. Liam was even more stunned to hear this. What was going on? Had his grandfather planned this for over twenty years ago? Did he somehow know that Liam would come searching for him?"Uncle Leonardo, what's going on here? Is Grandpa still alive?" Liam asked nervously.Leonardo's face fell, and he shook his head gravely. "Truth be told, I am just as confused as you are. I've been trying to track your grandfather down for years, but the last I heard, he was still being kept on Wraith Island. I haven't heard any news about him since, but I refuse to believe your grandfather would die on Wraith Island
