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
"Mr. Stone, there's nothing wrong at all with the company's finances." Reginald glared at Sherah and Qemal unhappily upon hearing that. After all this ruckus, it was all nonsense made up by the two of them. He could not stand the shame, so he stood up with a frown and shouted, "Let's go!" Knowing that the drama was coming to an end, the crowd also prepared to leave. However, Liam took a step forward and stopped Reginald before he could leave. He looked at him tauntingly and asked in a cold voice, "Reginald, you're not leaving just like that, are you? Are you just going to let Celena be unjustly accused by you guys? And did Celena and Jovie get beaten for nothing?"Reginald stopped in his tracks. He looked up at Liam indifferently and sneered. "Hmph! It was with great kindness on my part that I allowed her back into the family. She should already count her blessings! If she still doesn't know how to be grateful, then don't blame me for being heartless." When he finished, Regina
Celena looked at Liam with tears in her eyes. Her voice was getting softer and softer. How she hoped that Liam would come clean to her. She could never really fully see through him, even when they were already married and were living together. The feeling of having the person right next to you but you could never really know him was too frightening. She did not have any sense of security.To Celena, Liam's silence meant that he did not trust her. Then, why did he marry her? She gazed deeply at Liam, but what she wanted to say was never uttered. Since he did not want to tell her, then there was no point in her continuing the conversation. She walked straight into the bedroom with Jovie in her arms.The cottage was originally unusually quiet, but the loud bang of the door slamming shut made the atmosphere more gloomy. Liam stood there watching the cottage. After a while, he sighed resignedly. Then, he turned around and walked toward a corner of the cottage and lit a cigarette.
Celena could tell that Liam was stealing glances at her from time to time, but she was very confused and wanted to ignore him. She then turned her head to face the window.Whenever Liam looked over, he could only see Celena's beautiful side profile and her long lashes that fluttered occasionally.Celena did not speak while Liam did not dare to do it. After all, she was still angry at him. Since she agreed for him to accompany her, he did not dare to make any noise to annoy her. He decided to just be a good and quiet chauffeur. Soon, they arrived at the hotel. After Liam parked the car, he unbuckled his seatbelt and hurriedly stepped out of the car before Celena. "I'll get the door for you," said Liam.His smile was full of flattery as he opened the door for Celena like a gentleman. When she got out of the car, he even placed his hand on the top in fear of her hitting her head. As soon as Celena got out of the car, a woman's voice could be heard coming from behind her."Cele
Yanely covered her mouth and snickered upon saying that. She was looking right at Liam with a mocking gaze.Was he not a famous person? He was the famous loser from the fallen Cole family and the Stone family's useless live-in son-in-law.He was a man who had no capability at all. He was even willing to let go of his dignity as a man and live with his wife's family.It would have been fine if it was in the past. When the Walkers were still around, people would not look down on the Stones out of respect for the Walkers, even though the Stones were not quite significant.The Walkers offended a big shot some time ago and were destroyed by a mysterious person. It was only natural that the Stone family's social status took a nosedive as well.Of course, Liam was a little annoyed by Yanely's mockery. His expression was a little sullen as well. If it were not because he promised Celena that he would control his temper, he never would have tolerated how rude she was.Also, Celena was sti
Soon, Yanely, Celena, and Liam arrived at the private room that was reserved. They could hear laughter coming from the room before they even entered. There were men and women in the room, and they were talking about recent hot topics as well as bags, jewelry, and so on.Yanely opened the door and announced loudly, "Look who's here! It's the gorgeous Celena!"Upon saying that, she turned her body sideways. In that instant, Celena and Liam saw everything inside the private room.There were many expensive drinks and snacks on the table in the huge private room. Everyone had their car keys placed in front of them. They were Porsches, Ferraris, and Lamborginis.Also, all the women in the room had a limited edition purse from big brand names right next to them. All their clothes were from designer brands or those famous haute-couture brands. They were all decked out and were comparable to Yanely. The women each had a successful man in a suit sitting next to them as their company. All t
Samara's soft voice instantly brought Celena's thoughts back to the past when they spent their days together. Tears flowed down Celena's cheeks uncontrollably as she kept responding by nodding."Samara, I would like to apologize to you as well. What I did back then was wrong as well. Let's let the bygones be bygones. We're still good friends!" Then, the two hugged each other while crying tears of joy. If people who did not know better saw such a touching moment, they would think they were as close as sisters who were related by blood.However, in Liam's eyes, everything that Samara did looked different. Her actions seemed too fake. That was because even though Samara was hugging Celena and looking so affectionate, Liam could tell there was ridicule and hatred in her eyes. Perhaps Celena was the only one there who was naive enough to not have noticed it.Everyone there looked extremely hypocritical. They were like wolves in sheep's clothes and might just pounce at any moment.At
The people in the room heard about it, but they were still stunned when they heard it again."So this is THAT Liam?""Holy shit! How shameless! He's a man who's living with his wife's family. How dare he come and attend this gathering tonight?""I agree. What nonsense is this, Celena? We invited you to the gathering, but why did you bring his loser with you and spoil our mood? To think that Samara missed you so much. How could you do this to her?"Samara looked very hurt as she looked at Celena. Her eyes were filled with grievances. It was as if Celena did something heinous.Celena saw how upset Samara was, so she quickly let go of Liam's hand and went up to Samara to explain. "That's not the case, Samara. I wasn't deliberately trying to spoil your mood. I only asked him to drop me off."Upon saying that, Celena turned to look at Liam while feeling a little troubled. She said, "Liam, how about you wait for me outside."Then, Celena sat next to Samara and apologized to her profus
