What shocked Edward was that not only did the headquarters say nothing, but they even reminded him to meticulously follow the strict instructions that were given by Calum. They even warned him not to make guesses or enquire about the identity of that man.Edward was once again stunned. He was mostly glad that he picked the right side to stand with. The headquarters was one of the top corporate groups within the whole of Biskeland. If they had such a respectful attitude toward that man, then one could only imagine how terrifying he was!Edward quickly tidied up the documents and called an emergency meeting to brief the others about what Calum ordered for execution. He was also planning on preparing a huge gift to present to Liam personally as a thank-you after everything was settled.…Meanwhile, Liam, Celena, and Jovie were at the hospital.Jovie was already bandaged and treated. Liam was carrying Jovie and holding Celen's hand as they walked out of the hospital. He looked tall
Celena was not stupid. Sherah and Qemal usually would not bother visiting her unless they needed help. The fact that they came to look for her that day was certainly because they had something to ask of her. Otherwise, they would not be so friendly and agreeable."Mom, why exactly have you come to look for me? You can just tell me straight away. If it's anything that I can help with, I'll do it!" Sherah waited for Celena to ask her. Once Celena did, Sherah sat on the couch, buried her tearful face in her hands, and said, "Celena, you must help your brother! He got into a little trouble. He's still young. It's only normal to make some mistakes. You must not abandon him!" Celena's expression became solemn in an instant. She asked with a frown, "Mom, quick, tell me what happened! Even though Qemal is only my half-brother, he is still my brother."Celena still cared about her family. Even though Sherah and Qemal treated her badly, she still wanted to help since they already come to h
Seeing that Celena was still indifferent, Sherah cried even louder. She bawled and shouted at the top of her lungs, "My poor Qemal! We finally have a son. If anything were to happen to you, how would your father and I live?"Celena was having a headache because of Sherah's wailing as she threw a tantrum on the floor. Celena quickly helped Sherah and replied helplessly, "Mom, get up. Let me first take a closer look into this matter with the contract. I'll think of a way."Only then did Sherah stop crying and stand up with satisfaction. She eagerly sat next to Celena and told her about the incident in detail.Half an hour later, Sherah and Qemal came out of the cottage.As soon as they stepped out of the door, their anxious expressions were immediately replaced by a smug smile. Both of them sneered as their evil plan was a success."Mom, this is a great move. As long as Celena is willing to get involved, this matter will have nothing to do with me anymore. She can deal with the mess
Celena put down the contract in her hands and looked at Liam in confusion. With a frown, she asked, "What do you mean?"Liam sighed and took the contract from Celena. He scanned through and said indifferently, "I've read through the contract and there's no problem with it. But I feel the problem is with Qemal. Think about it, Qemal is narrow-minded and greedy. Do you think a person like him would just sit idly by and let people take advantage of him?"Celena's eyebrows were even more tightly furrowed upon hearing that. She immediately interjected Liam, stood up, and said unhappily, "I know what you want to say, but Qemal is my only brother after all. Now that I know this, I can't just leave him be. And I won't stand by and allow it if Grandpa were to banish him from the family because of this!"She then turned to Liam and said seriously, "Besides, if anything were to happen to me in the future, he would be the person who could help me since he is my only brother."Liam understood t
Ever since Liam returned, they spent more time together and their connection got stronger. Celena could feel that she was getting more and more dependent on Liam. Even if Liam was the one who hurt her at the very beginning, she could feel that her feeling of hatred she once felt toward him had long changed because of Jovie. After all, she had such an adorable daughter with him. On top of that, he would always show up at moments when she needed him the most after he returned.Celena would often recall the scene of Liam appearing like an angel descending from heaven the night he barged into the scary private room and saved her. Every time she recalled that her heart would race. She even dreamed of walking down the aisle of a church toward Liam one night.In the wedding in her dream, the whole church was decorated with white roses. The people who attended were all her closest friends and family. She was wearing a pure white wedding gown and a crystal tiara, walking slowly toward Lia
All the guests almost arrived, so Peter walked to the center of the banquet hall and addressed all his guests loudly, "First of all, I'd like to welcome everyone to our humble abode. Your presence adds to our honor, and I hope you'll enjoy the night!" The guests who were present all chimed in congratulatory replies. Then, someone shouted from the crowd, "Mr. Hughes, when will Trevyn arrive? We can't wait to lay our eyes upon the future general of Biskeland!""That's right! Stop hiding him, Mr. Hughes. Quickly let him make his entrance!""That's right!" As he listened to everyone's passionate flattery and cheer, Peter's smile became brighter than ever. He was decked out in a sharp maroon suit, which made him look even more cheerful.He calmed the crowd down by saying loudly, "Patience, my friends! My son called earlier and said that he was going to visit the mayor first. He's already on his way back! Please wait for a little longer, and he'll be here before you know it!"Peter's
The entire hall fell silent upon hearing Trevyn's remark. Those who had no relations with the Stones were eager to watch the drama unfold. Those who were working with the Stones looked at the people around them with a solemn and surprised expression."It looks like Liam's about to be finished. Looks like Trevyn is going to fight Liam and the Stones to death this time.""Come on, be more confident. What do you mean it looks like it? Liam and the Stones are going to be finished. They've offended a general. On top of that, the Hughes family is a very powerful family, to begin with. The loser, Liam, and the puny Stone family are done for.""Holy shit. I'm still collaborating with the Stones.""F*ck, what are you waiting for you? Hurry up and have someone terminate the collaboration with the Stones! It'll be bad if you get caught in the middle if they truly were to fight against each other.""He's right. Hurry up and pick the right side. What are you still waiting for?"In that instan
Reginald listened to everyone's argument on the chair, looking more and more upset and ready to burst out in anger at any minute. Cheryl quickly stood up and walked next to Reginald. She poured a cup of tea for him, "Grandpa, have some tea to soothe your nerves. If you ask me, this was all that loser Liam's fault. If it was not for him, there was no way we would offend the Hughes family, and I wouldn't have—"At the mention of that infamous engagement party, Cheryl's face went pale, and she felt really upset. If Liam did not mess it up, she might have married into the Hughes family and become a rich housewife with a general as a brother-in-law. That would have been not such a great honor. She would have been able to do whatever she wanted in Drunham City."Grandpa, our family is a victim as well! And this time round it was Trevyn who personally intervened. He's a general! You know that Malcolm is a general, too. How could we have the power to go against him?"With that, Cheryl wip
