The car that Qemal wanted to buy was bought by Liam! Qemal did not believe that Liam could afford such an expensive car."Is there a problem? I have something to do, so I'm going to get going." Liam opened the car door to pick Jovie up and was about to head to the cottage.However, how could Sherah possibly let him go so easily? She rushed toward him and grabbed his arm. Then, she shouted, "Explain yourself properly. Did you buy this car? Where did you get the money to buy such an expensive car? Oh, I know. Is it because Celene's the project leader now, so she embezzled the money to let you buy this car?"Sherah suddenly became happy. She was certain that Liam was using the money that Celena embezzled to buy the 400-thousand-dollar car. She had a look like she figured it all out.Qemal looked like he had an epiphany too. He was furious as he grabbed Liam's arm and shouted, "You're an ungrateful bastard, Liam! Our family took you in out of the kindness of our hearts, yet you did suc
Qemal thought he was about to be choked to death earlier. The feeling of being on the verge of death sent a chill down his spine.His face was filled with terror as he looked at Liam. His tone had a hint of reluctance to accept defeat. He bellowed, "Liam, how-how dare you attack me! You wanted to strangle me! I'm going to tell Grandpa about this. Just wait! I won't let you off!""It looks like you've forgotten about the warning I gave you when I broke your arm before this. Complain all you want. You won't be so lucky next time." Liam sneered.After he carried Jovie and comforted her, he turned around and headed to the cottage.Qemal coughed for a few minutes before he recovered and got up from the ground.Sherah felt sorry for him as she helped him up. She asked, "Are you alright, Qemal? Quick, let me have a look. I can't believe that damn Liam had the guts to attack you so ruthlessly. Let me take a look and see if you're severely hurt."Qemal's face was flushed as he put his han
Seeing that Reginald was riled up, Qemal continued to fan the flame and said, "Grandpa, that's not all! I've uncovered a big secret—Liam bought a car today which cost around four hundred thousand dollars! "Think about it, Liam is merely a retired soldier, how would he have so much money for a car? He must have used Celena and embezzled the project's funds! "Grandpa, if Liam could make Celena embezzle four hundred thousand dollars from the company today, then he would be able to make Celena change the company's ownership to him tomorrow.""What?" Reginald was instantly enraged and slammed hard on the table. With a flushed face and furious gaze, he bellowed, "Celena and Liam have got some nerve! How dare they do such a thing! They want to ruin our family! I'm not dead yet, and they dare to be so blatant about it!"You! Gather all security guards in the mansion and follow me to Celena's cottage! I'd like to see how far they will take this with my own eyes. The Stone family has no
Celena was confused by the slap. She was on her knees with tears in her eyes. She looked at Reginald with grievance and said, "Grandpa, what happened? Why did you slap me?"Reginald hit his walking stick hard on the ground. His face was sullen, and his eyes were filled with anger. He pointed at the BMW parked outside and bellowed, "Explain to me what's the deal with the car at the door? If you dare to lie at all, I'll beat you to death!"Tears were streaming down Celena's face as she felt she was wronged. She forced herself to control her emotions and looked at Reginald. The handprint on her face was red as she replied with a grievance, "Grandpa, Liam bought that car.""Hmph. Of course, he bought it. Let me ask you, then. He's just a soldier who has recently been discharged. Even if he got a bonus when he retired, it wouldn't be much. How could he have so much money to afford such an expensive car? Did he talk you into using the company's company to buy that car? I can spare you if
Cheryl gave Celena a few slaps in a row, and her sharp nails scratched Celena's face. In an instant, Celena's face was covered in blood. Cheryl got some on her hand as well. She immediately released her hand in disgust, shook it a little, and cursed, "That's so gross."Celena was curled up on the ground in pain. Her tears and the blood on her face stained her clothes, dying it red.Right at that moment, Jovie walked out of the cottage in her pajamas while rubbing her eyes. She probably just woke up.As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Celena on the ground with her face covered in blood. She got so frightened that she rushed over to Celena in tears and hugged her tightly.Jovie put herself in front of Celena and looked at Cheryl and Reginald in anger."You are all evil! You bully my mother! You are all terrible people who bully my mother!""Jovie!" Celena quickly pulled her into her arms, hugging her tightly to protect her. She had fear in her eyes as she watched the members o
Cheryl endured the pain and straightened her back. She crossed her arms in front of her and sneered. Then, she looked at Celena disdainfully and said, "How dare I slap her? She's a bastard, yet she dared to push me. You should be thankful that I didn't kill her."The word "bastard" made Jovie cry even harder. She threw herself into Celena's arms and said in sorrow, "I'm not a bastard, Mom. I have a father. I'm not- I have a father, so why did she say I'm a bastard?"Reginald had a sullen expression as he sat on the chair. He looked at Celena fiercely and barked, "Enough, Celena! You should teach your child to behave. The way she acted was so rude. How embarrassing."Celena could not believe it as she looked at Reginald.Jovie was just a child. She was slapped by Cheryl to the point that the corner of her lips was cracked. Reginald, however, criticized Celena for not teaching Jovie well and condemned Jovie for being rude instead.Feeling indignant, Celena said, "Grandpa, how could
Liam was too scary.His formidable bearing made it so that people did not dare to look right at him. They were terrified from the bottom of their heart."I'm going to ask one more time. Who did it?"Liam was furious that his rage could be seen burning in his eyes.He owed Celena and Jovie too much in the past seven years. He made countless promises that would protect them well. However, both of their faces were beaten into a pulp at that moment.Liam felt heartbroken, but for the most part, he was feeling furious. His daughter was the little princess of the Cole family. How could she be bullied like that?If they were not at the Stone Mansion, those who bullied Jovie and Celena would have died a long time ago. After Liam let out a roar, all the other members of the Stone family turned to look at Cheryl.Cheryl knew there was no way she could hide, so she straightened her back and put her hands on her waist arrogantly. She said, "I'm the one who slapped her. What about it? Sh
The sight of Celena kneeling for him made Liam feel a sense of heartache. Why was she always so soft-hearted, so kind? Could she still not see that the Stones never treated her as a family? "Celena, stand up! You don't have to plead to them! Don't beg them on your knees for me!" Liam held out his hand, wanting to help Celena up from the ground. However, after Liam helped Celena up, she immediately turned around and slapped him across his face.She was a blubbering mess, and she broke down as she shouted, "Liam! That's enough! When will you stop making a mess of everything? I have told you many times to not create any trouble! Why won't you listen? "Because of you, I lost my family for seven years! Do you know how I survived the past seven years? Now that I'm finally back, do you want to make me lose my family again? Are you only going to be happy then?"Celena then snatched Jovie from Liam's arms while she was all worked up. Her eyes were bloodshot and tears streaming down he
