Cheryl was beside herself with rage, stamping her foot and pointing after Celena. "Dad, can you believe her? Celena's got some nerve, treating us with such disdain!"

Yafe's face was a storm of emotions, his skin shifting from pale to red in his anger. He glared at Celena's back, his eyes burning with fury. After a moment of thought, he spoke with an icy edge, "That's enough! Remember, we're in public, and everything we do reflects on the Stone family. Let's focus on meeting with Mr. Black about the partnership. The rest can wait.

"As for Celena, let her try her luck. I'm curious to see who would risk partnering with a newbie, with a company that's barely off the ground, like some tiny backyard operation. She'll learn the hard way that it's not as easy as she thinks."

Yafe's fist tightened as he spoke, his eyes narrowing into slits as he watched Celena's back with a malicious gaze. "I can't wait to see her fall flat on her face. She'll come crawling back to me eventually."

    Ever since Celena came back to the Stone family, she threw herself into the family business, tirelessly working her fingers to the bone. She always put the Stone family first, often at the expense of her relationship with Liam.Celena felt the sting of the Stone family's cold treatment, especially with Yafe and Cheryl's biting words still echoing in her ears, sparking a fire of anger within her. However, she knew better than to let her temper show, that would only egg them on. The best way to handle their kind was to simply ignore them.Seeing Cindy stand up for her, though, warmed Celena's heart. She could not help but smile at Cindy's feisty demeanor. "Let it go," Celena advised gently. "We're here to see Mr. Black about a potential partnership, not to get into a spat that could spoil his impression of us."Cindy's fury cooled a bit with Celena's words, and her eyes shone with even greater respect. She gazed at Celena with the wide-eyed admiration of a true fan. "Wow, Ms. Stone, y

    With those words, Yafe and his entourage strutted past, slicing through the crowd like they owned the place, and handed their golden tickets to the bouncers.The bouncers barely glanced at the invites before stepping aside, ushering Yafe and the others through.The onlookers could not hide their envy as they watched the select few disappear inside.Cheryl soaked up the attention, standing at the doorway with her nose in the air, as regal and proud as any showy peacock.When grumbles rose from the crowd, questioning their right to enter, Cheryl did not miss a beat. "Why do we get to go in? Simple. We've got the golden invites, and you don't. Better luck next time," she taunted.With a final, defiant look at Celena, Cheryl spun on her heel and vanished into the hotel's embrace.Her words stung the crowd, leaving them simmering with resentment as they watched helplessly.Then Cheryl and Yafe were inside, living it up, while the rest could not even get past the front door.Cindy, f

    "Honey?"Celena was taken aback to see Liam there, her face a picture of astonishment. "What brings you here?"Liam grinned. "Just looking out for you. Didn't want some rabid dog to take a bite.""Who are you calling rabid?"Cheryl's face went red with rage, her glare scorching as she raised her voice at Liam.Unruffled, Liam replied calmly, "If the shoe fits what was that you said? My wife can't get through the hotel doors?"Cheryl let out a derisive snort, her gaze dripping with scorn as she sneered at Celena. "Seriously? Do you think you can rub shoulders with Mr. Black just because Celena's got a little start-up? You think that puts you in Drunham City's high society?"She laughed mockingly. "You're a joke! Without the Stone family, you're less than nothing. What makes you think you can come here and shout at me?"Liam's face was a mask of calm as he retorted, "We'll see about that. If you're so sure, let's bet on whether my wife can walk into that hotel and walk out with M

    The man in black surveyed the crowd, obviously on the lookout for someone. In a thick accent, he called out, "Excuse me, is Miss Celena around? Could you step out for a second, thanks!"Celena was so taken aback she froze, but Cindy was quick on the draw, waving her hand high. "Over here! You're looking for Ms. Stone, right? She's with us!"The man in black beelined to them, all apologies on his face. "Ms. Stone, so sorry for the hold-up, got tied up and ran a bit late."Celena, still reeling, just bobbed her head and managed a flustered, "Uh? Oh, no worries at all."With a warm smile, the attendant nodded and gestured for her to enter. "Ms. Stone, right this way, please. Our CEO has been eagerly awaiting your arrival."The room went silent for a heartbeat, then a collective gasp rippled through the crowd as they stared at Celena and the foreign staff member in utter astonishment.Among the onlookers were the patriarchs of Drunham City's elite families and top business moguls, al

    The staff member gave a firm nod and said, "Yes, Ms. Stone, you're the one. Our CEO is upstairs waiting for you. I'll escort you to him now."Celena was still reeling, turning to Liam with wide eyes, "Honey, what's happening?"Liam just smiled, gave a reassuring nod, and took the crumpled water bottle from Celena's grasp, nudging her gently forward.Cindy was beside herself with excitement, giving Celena's arm a quick tug. "Come on, Ms. Stone, let's not keep Mr. Black waiting. He's up there waiting just for you."As she spoke, Cindy cast a smug look over at Cheryl and Yafe, a clear echo of Cheryl's earlier show-offy taunts.Her eyes all but spelled it out: 'You might have waltzed in with an invite, but my boss? She's got the VIP treatment with a personal summons.'Cindy's jab hit a nerve, leaving Cheryl and Yafe seething, their faces contorting with anger.Cheryl was practically grinding her teeth, her face turning a sickly shade of green as she watched Celena stride into the ho

    Boom!The news hit like a bombshell, sending shockwaves through the crowd.Eyes wide with shock, everyone stared at the contract in Celena's hands, unable to believe what they were seeing. Yafe and Cheryl were particularly stunned, their disbelief written all over their faces as they exclaimed, "That's ridiculous! How on earth did you land this deal?"Cheryl's face turned an ugly shade as she pointed at Celena, her voice rising in anger, "You're lying, Celena, you have to be lying."With a grin, Celena waved the contract at her and said, "I haven't said a word, Cheryl. I really did it, this is the contract I've just signed with Mr. Black!"Celena's face was alight with excitement, and even she could not quite believe that was all happening.Liam chuckled and affectionately ruffled Celena's hair, "Well, of course. My wife is incredible, snagging this deal is just par for the course."Tears welled up in Celena's eyes as she listened to Liam, her heart swelling with emotion. With

    Cheryl froze at the suggestion, her response automatic and skeptical, "That's absurd! Liam's not the big shot at Pendragon anymore. He's not even a blip on the official radar, definitely rubbing some VIPs the wrong way. How could he possibly-"The more Cheryl mulled it over, the less sense it made. She pressed on, "Dad, remember, Mr. Black's an international player with the Wendell Family's muscle behind him. Liam's just Joe Average now. Even if he still called the shots at Pendragon, there's no way they'd just hand Celena the deal!"Cheryl's gaze swept over Drunham City's elite entrepreneurs fawning over Celena, and it nearly sent her through the roof!Those admiring glances should have been hers. What gave Celena the right to snatch what was hers?After her outburst, Cheryl awaited Yafe's response, but silence hung in the air. Turning to him, she caught Yafe's icy stare locked on Celena, soon melting into a smile that hinted at deeper schemes.Cheryl's face twisted in annoyance

    "Celena, my dear daughter, I haven't had the chance to congratulate you! Landing a deal with Mr. Black from the Wendell Family's foreign affairs—what an achievement!"Yafe beamed as if he struck gold himself, his face a garden of creases from his broad smile.Cheryl strutted alongside, chin up, pride etched on her face. Yet, even then, she could not swallow her pride enough to offer Celena a simple congratulations.Yafe's brazen display left the onlookers speechless.As he drew near, they recoiled as if avoiding a stain, their faces twisted in distaste, sidestepping his approach.Celena's smile waned a touch when she caught sight of Yafe, and with a nod that bordered on obligatory, she said, "Thanks, Mr. Yafe Stone."At that, Yafe hastily gestured with his hands, "Hey, no need for thanks between us. I'm your dad, and we're family. 'Thank you' just puts distance between us!"Listen, to celebrate your big win with the project, I want to treat you to dinner. Let's have a family cel

    Liam saw Sunniva was up and wasted no time, saying. "Ms. Bristow, we've got gang trouble at the hotel. It's not safe. We're bailing to a new place," he said.Without skipping a beat, Liam and Sunniva were out of there, speeding off to another hotel in the car.Little did they know, as soon as they left, a convoy of black SUVs pulled up ominously at the hotel's grand entrance.The streets surrounding the hotel suddenly buzzed with the arrival of several new cars. Their occupants spilled out, pacing the perimeter with a clear intent to surveil.From the lineup of rugged SUVs at the hotel's entrance, a squad of men clad in black, brandishing weapons burst forth. They stormed the hotel, their presence ominous and unchallenged.The receptionists, staff, and patrons were petrified, cowering in corners, none daring to confront the intruders.The men made a beeline for Liam's last known location, only to find the room deserted.The ringleader cursed under his breath, "Damn it!

    Each victim was marked with a triangle tattoo, a calling card that did not go unnoticed. Someone had snapped a picture of it before the hotel staff even showed up and had split.Liam passed the photo to Cirocco and Calum, and it hit them like a ton of bricks. Calum scrunched up his face and said, "Sir, this is Alpha's tag. They're big-time hitmen around Rasford City."They're known for their love of curved blades, and that triangle is their signature."Cirocco had been doing some digging too and came back with chilling news about Noel. "Sir, we got the why. Someone's put a three million dollar price tag on your head, right there on the hit list!""Moreover, the bounty was so colossal that it had all the shadowy players in Rasford City licking their chops. A coalition of forces was now banding together, plotting a takedown that had you in their crosshairs."Cirocco's face was a mask of ice as he spoke, and Calum's features were twisted in a scowl.Liam chuckled darkly, the quint

    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

    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

    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
