At that very moment, Cheryl barged in, fresh on the scene, and shoved Liam aside as she strode into the villa. "Dad's right. What's this got to do with you? You're just a lowly son-in-law. Do you really think your opinion counts?"Sherah caught on, quickly releasing Celena's arm and rising from her chair to berate Liam. "Mind your language and the way you address us. We're your elders, for heaven's sake. Is that any way to talk to us?"I want to know if you bought the King Mansion at Emerald Lake or not."The room buzzed with anticipation at the question, especially Qemal, who was gripping his pants with both hands, barely containing his excitement.That was big. It could mean moving into the coveted Emerald Lake mansions!Celena, anxiety written all over her face, turned to Liam and stood up quickly. "Liam, is it true? Did you really snag the King Mansion at Emerald Lake?"Before Liam could utter a word, Qemal, unable to hold back his eagerness, jumped to his feet and blurted ou
Celena was visibly touched, and even though the price tag read a cool 15 million, she could not help but think it was a bit steep.She chided gently. "We're not exactly homeless, you know. Why throw money away like that? Jovie's education is going to cost us down the line...""Don't sweat it. It's just one mansion. Plus, we've got to have a special place to start our married life, right?" Liam said with a comforting smile.With that, Celena's worries melted away, and she beamed with joy.Yafe, Sherah, and the rest of the crew could not hide their astonishment and thrill at Liam's words. They were floored that he could so casually refer to the top-notch King Mansion at Emerald Lake as merely a mansion!Liam's calm composure was a dead giveaway that he had to be sitting on a pile of cash. Who drops 15 million on a mansion without batting an eye?Qemal could not contain his excitement and blurted out, "If you're the one who snagged the mansion, does that mean we all get to live it
Yafe was stunned, and he looked at Celena in disbelief. He could not believe that she dared to talk back to him.It took Yafe a while to regain his senses. He felt a little embarrassed, but he could not lash out at Celena because of the money and mansion. All he could do was force himself to put on an awkward smile."Celena, that was truly a misunderstanding. You know that's the Yacano family. Our family would be finished if the Yacano family were to target us. Besides, it was because we had no other choice that we did that, wasn't it? Look at the big picture. Are we supposed to stand idly by and watch the Stone family—""Hmph!" Celena sneered before Yafe said anything. If she heard those words from Yafe in the past, she might have believed them.At that moment, however, she felt nothing more than a sense of endless hypocrisy and annoyance.Celena did not bother talking to them anymore. She turned to look at Liam with a gentle gaze and said calmly, "As for the mansion, Liam's the
"Oh yes, Liam, is it true that you bought the King Mansion at Emerald Lake?" Celena asked, staring at him through the corner of her eyes after she suddenly thought about it.Liam nodded with a smile and replied, "It is. I bought it for you as our marital home."Celena felt bad and said, "We have a place to stay now. It's too expensive to buy another mansion to make it our marital home. Can you get a refund on that?""What for? Don't overthink it. It's just a mansion. It doesn't cost that much," Liam replied.He knew she was concerned about the money. On top of that, she left the Stone family and was jobless. That was why she would overthink. He did not feel annoyed. His heart simply ached for her instead.Liam put Celena in his arms with a smile and chuckled before he continued, "Alright, darling. Don't worry about it anymore. All you need to do right now is just be ready to be a beautiful bride. Once the wedding is over, you'll be the lady of that mansion. You can spend the next
Xerxes looked at the three men with fury and a frosty glint burning in his eyes. His voice was frosty as he said, "Kill Liam, his wife, and his child, as well as the Stone family members tonight! Kill all of them! He had the guts to injure my son, so he should be prepared for the entire family to be annihilated!"Xerxes could not hold back his anger anymore at the mention of his son, Cirroc. He slammed on the table next to him, causing his cup to vibrate off it and shattering it as it hit the ground."Yes, sir!" The three top fighters of military king caliber got up at the same time and left the living room with a great desire to kill.Then, Xerxes glanced at the time. An eerie smile appeared on his face as he seemed to have thought of something. He left the living room after that.Half an hour later, Xerxes brought the core members of the Yacano family with him and rushed to the airport in Drunham City.A military jet landed right as they arrived.A dozen members of the Yacano f
Xerxes had more than one son. However, to him, Cirroc, who was the son he had with his lawful wife, was his true successor and also the hope to carry on the Yacano family's bloodline.As for his eldest son, Jaxon, he never considered him at all, no matter how outstanding he was. After all, Jaxon was given birth by a woman from a small family, which was a little embarrassing. How could a man like him be Xerxes' successor, then?The temperature around Shane suddenly dropped as soon as he heard about Cirroc's condition. With a frosty look gleamed in his eyes, he nodded and said, "Alright. Got it. Let's first head home."Xerxes nodded as well. The crowd surrounded Shane as they got into the designated ride, and all of them left the airport.Shane did not return to Drunham CIty because of what happened to Cirroc. It was because he had official business to take care of. He was just dealing with Cirroc's situation since it happened to coincide with his business.After they arrived at Yac
The leader was dressed in black and had a black face mask on. Only his eyes, which were filled with murderous intent, were left exposed.As he looked at the mansion, he said icily, "Hmph. I've checked. There's nobody in the surroundings. It'll be very easy to take them out."He was the leader and also the strongest among the three of them. He was at the level of a four-star military king. The other two were at the three-star military king level.A burly man scanned the surroundings indifferently and said, "Hmph. I thought it was going to be a tough mission since the three of us were dispatched together. I didn't think this is all it is."The other middle-aged man who was lean sneered along as well and said, "But this is good as well. After we kill the child and woman in the mansion as fast as we can, we can then head to Stone Mansion and take out the rest of them!"The leader observed their surroundings. After he saw that there was nothing unusual, he nodded and said, "Go!"The l
After the three-star military king found his balance, he was shocked to see his fist that was in a bloody mess.An average person could not dodge a punch from someone of his caliber, let alone receive it. However, not only did the young man in front of him receive his punch with ease, but he even shattered his fist.How terrifying!The burly man of three-star military king caliber looked solemn. He looked at Liam icily and asked, "Wh-who the hell are you?"The other two top fighters became sullen as well after they saw Liam's punch making their comrade take a few steps back. They then charged at Liam.The leader was exuding an overwhelmingly vicious air and his gaze was ice-cold. He let out a strange sneer as he stared at Liam and said, "Hmph. I didn't think you would be so skilled in combat."Unlike what he found out, Liam was more than just an ordinary bodyguard.As the leader said that, he exchanged a look with his two comrades and they nodded back at him as they understood w
