Chapter 345

Author: Voice From Heaven
She could understand what they were saying, but she could not grasp why the Stones just could not stand her. Why did her grandparents and uncle have such a dislike for her?

With that in mind, Jovie turned to Liam, her voice quivering as if she were about to cry. "Daddy, please don't be mad. I won't eat anymore. I'm not hungry..."

Liam saw the hurt in Jovie's eyes, her brave attempt to hold back tears, and her mature statement. His heart ached for her, and he wrapped her in a comforting embrace.

Celena was torn apart inside. Caught between her own family and her daughter and husband, Jovie's distress twisted her heart even more. She shot Qemal a fierce look and demanded, "Qemal, what are you trying to do? Jovie's just a child. How can you be so cruel? She's my daughter. What's the big deal if she has a bite to eat? Didn't you all ask me to come to dinner?"

Perhaps Celena's words were too sharp. Sherah could not take it any longer. She threw her silverware down on the table, her face

    Yafe held back from saying anything too harsh, worried that too much pressure might backfire.Celena's expression turned stormy. Her own family, blinded by greed, were shamelessly pushing her into another marriage. The thought alone soured her heart, and tears of hurt cascaded down her cheeks. "No way! I won't have it! I refuse to remarry! If we can't see eye to eye, then I've lost my appetite! Liam, grab Jovie, we're leaving!"With that, Celena rose to her feet, scooping up the bag, while Liam followed suit, cradling Jovie in his arms.Kayson's worry spiked, but Sherah was already by Celena's side before he could move, gripping her hand with a gentler touch. "Okay, okay, let's drop it for now. We promised to share a meal today, and I won't press you any further. However, do give it some thought to what I've said. It's all logical. Mr. Wheeler went out of his way to invite you here to this fancy place. It'd be rude to just walk out now, wouldn't it?"Sherah realized she had been to

    "Obviously, it's top-dollar wine, and the price speaks for itself. However, hey, I've got it covered, so drink up!" Kayson grinned, waving off the cost like it was chump change.He was laying it on thick, trying to show he was not hurting for cash. He figured Yafe and the rest did not know the first thing about fine wine, so he could spin it any way he wanted.After his spiel, Kayson watched everyone like a hawk, looking for any sign of disbelief. Sherah and Yafe kept their composure, so he let out a silent sigh of relief.Then his eyes landed on Celena, and seeing her unfazed expression, he could not help but scowl.What was happening there?Celena remained unfazed, a stark contrast to the other women he had escorted before, who would have already crumbled under pressure, their expressions mirroring Sherah's.However, Liam, who had been overlooked until then, suddenly chimed in. "Really? You're calling the Romanée-Conti the best? I thought the '87 Lafite held that title. And i

    Liam could see right through Kayson's facade, recognizing the rage born from his embarrassment. Instead of biting back, he quietly pulled out his phone and shot a quick text to Kolten.Sherah and her group, who had been sitting off to the side, noticed Kayson's growing irritation and quickly leaped to his defense. Qemal, eager to make an impression, was the first to lash out at Liam. "Have you no decency, Liam? Spewing such drivel as if you could actually afford it! Do you have any idea what this wine costs? It was around 15 thousand dollars a bottle. Can you even cough up that kind of cash?"With a mocking laugh, Sherah chimed in, "Seriously, the nerve! Liam, you're just putting on airs. If you're clueless, it's better to keep your mouth shut than embarrass yourself.""Mom, Liam's got no shame at all!"Qemal chimed in again, his face twisted with disgust, yet internally, he was reeling with shock. He had just stealthily checked online with his phone and discovered that the informa

    Qemal was quick to chime in, "You heard him, Liam. Make yourself scarce and get out of Quintessence Grill. You're not wanted here. You're an embarrassing excuse for a man!"After his outburst, Qemal turned to Kayson with a sycophantic grin, practically tripping over himself to show deference, "Mr. Wheeler, or should I say, brother-in-law, don't waste your time on Liam. He's all bark and no bite. You're above this. Don't let him drag you down."Sherah was even more direct. She stood up, pointed fiercely at the door, and bellowed, "Liam, I said get out. Now!"Liam took a look around at the company he was in and decided he had had enough. He knew if he stayed any longer, he might lose his composure, and things could get messy, especially for Celena. So he stood up to leave, and Celena rose to join him, but Liam gently held her back, saying, "It's been quite the ordeal, hasn't it? You must be starving. You stay here and enjoy your meal. I'll wait for you outside."With that, Liam walke

    Kayson's gut told him Maksen had come specifically for him. In that crowd, no one else had the clout. Yafe and his crew did not even come close to earning a personal visit from Maksen with wine and food in tow.That left only Liam.However, Liam? No way.So it had to be Kayson. He was the one who had reserved the entire private room at Quintessence Grill for the evening. As the Wheeler family's golden boy, it made sense for Maksen to drop by for a chat.The thought of Maksen, the big-shot owner of Quintessence Grill, trying to butter him up sent a wave of smug satisfaction through Kayson. He could not help but let a self-assured smile creep across his face as his eyes darted toward Celena.Yafe, who had been all high and mighty, playing it composed, could not hide his thrill. He jumped to his feet, his face smeared with eagerness to please, and reached out for a handshake. "Ah, Mr. Luke! The one and only! I've been in awe of you for ages! Your name's been on everyone's lips, but w

    Maksen glanced at the people in the private room after making his statement. By the time his gaze landed on Celena, his expression got much gentler, and he said, "Ms. Stone, since Mr. Cole isn't around, I'll take my leave. Please send my regards to him."Maksen looked at Sherah and the others again with a sullen expression. Displeased, he said, "I've brought this good food and wine for you out of respect for Mr. Cole. Know that you've got a bargain."He left with the servers upon saying that.The atmosphere in the room immediately became gloomy. Nobody said anything, and they all looked a little upset.Kayson looked especially sulky. He thought that the owner of Quintessence Grill personally served the food and wine to them because of him. However, the owner did not even know who he was. The owner came into the room for Liam, the man Kayson did not even take seriously.Sherah and Yafe had a sour look on their faces as well. They thought Liam was just pretending to be someone world

    "Dad, Mom, why aren't you touching the food? This Romanée-Conti is delicious. As to be expected of a fine wine that's hard to come by. The food tastes good too. It's no wonder Quintessence Grill is such an expensive restaurant. It's worth the price."Qemal wolfed down the food and took a sip of the red wine, smacking his lips with satisfaction.He continued, "I wonder how did that loser, Liam, get Maksen to give him such a high honor?"Sherah's expression darkened at the mention of that. She became furious and barked, "Hmph! What can a loser like Liam do? Mr. Luke is flattering Liam because of Malcolm!"She saw how upset Kayson looked when he left. She was secretly praying that Kayson would not give up on Celena because of what happened that night. Where else would they be able to find such an outstanding person to collaborate with?"I hope Mr. Wheeler is not mad. What if he wants to take back the benefits he gave us?" said Sherah.As soon as he heard that, Qemal could not help b

    Liam found Celena's serious expression a little funny, but he explained calmly, "We've already known each other seven years ago. Mr. Luke is quite close to my family."Celena still had a little doubt. She just had a feeling that something was off. With a questioning gaze, she looked at Liam and said, "You've known each other since seven years ago? You're not lying to me? Why do I feel like you're hiding something from me? Liam, I hate people lying to me the most. You'd better tell me the truth."Liam smiled helplessly. He was surprised that she was not easy to fool with. However, with an expression like he meant business, he said, "Of course, I'm not lying to you. We've truly known each other for more than seven years. I haven't even left Drunham City then. How would I have the guts to lie to you? I'm financially supported by you right now."Upon saying that, Liam put Jovie on his shoulders and walked off. He said, "Let's go, Jovie. You're riding a horse!"Jovie hugged Liam's neck

    However, Andy was a smooth talker, so the eldest member of the Drayton family liked him. Because of that, the head of the family tolerated him. That was why Andy, who was just a member of the branch family, dared to be so cocky.Andy saw Howard standing at the side from the corner of his eye as he spoke. He thought of what Howard said earlier, and that made his blood boil.He pointed at Howard and bellowed, "Uncle Derrick, this Howard is trash as well. You have no idea. I told him I was a member of the Drayton family, yet he did not take our family seriously at all."Not only did he have his men capture me, but he said cockily that he wanted to lock me up forever, and nobody could stop him."Weren't you very cocky before this, Mr. Mosier? Go on. Continue acting cocky in front of my uncle now. Detain me and lock me up forever."Andy took a couple of steps closer to Howard as he said that. He extended his hands arrogantly and said, "Come on. I have my hands stretched out for you. Hu

    Soon, Andy and the thugs from the nightclub yesterday were released.Andy saw Derrick standing at the entrance of the police headquarters at a glance. He got so excited that he shouted, "Uncle Derrick! Uncle Derrick!"Fletcher's subordinates were incredibly excited to see Derrick as well. All of them shouted, "Mr. Derrick Drayton!"One of the subordinates was in Drunham City because Derrick arranged for him to be there. After he was brought to Derrick's side, he smiled apologetically and said, "Thank you for saving me, sir. Don't worry. Fletcher's faction and properties are all here. I'll be able to rebuild the faction here very soon."In other words, even if Fletcher was out of the picture, he would be able to thrive in Drunham City and replace Fletcher.However, Derrick shot an icy glare at him and sneered. "Hmph! How shameless of you to say that? There are so many of you, yet you can't deal with a small loser who only married into the Stone family."If it wasn't because this w

    Howard did not expect that the Drayton family would have a connection with the Carter family. They could even produce a token from the Carter family."Mr. Derrick Drayton, I didn't expect that your family and the Carters go way back. You even got the Carter family's token out," said Howard.Derrick sneered and said, "Enough with the nonsense. Howard, my family did the Carter family a favor back then, that's why the general of the Carter family gave this token to us. He promised us that we could take out this token if we were ever in a bind in the future, and they would help us!"I'm taking out this token today to tell you that I'm going to bail Andy out of here. I'd like to see who in Drunham City has the guts to stop me!"Howard was stunned, and then he fell silent.He did not think that Derrick would take out a token from the Carter family.The Carter family was the top family in Mirstone. Nobody in Mirstone would dare to go against the Carter family. Derrick became even more

    Meanwhile, Derrick and his men were already at the entrance of the police headquarters.Derrick's eyes were burning with rage as he looked at the door that was shut tightly. A sneer appeared on his lips as he said, "Hmph. Looks like they already know I'm coming, so they are deliberately trying to assert dominance."Then, he asked his driver next to him, "Where are our men? Have they all arrived?"The driver nodded and said, "They're here, Mr. Derrick. They are all waiting at the side. We'll tear down the main door to the police headquarters once you give the command."Derrick nodded with satisfaction. Then, he shouted at the police headquarters, "Howard! You're just the chief of the police headquarters! How dare you lock me outside?""I'd like to see how powerful you are today, Howard! Come on, guys. Take it down!"At his command, a group of burly men rushed out of the black van next to him. They were all holding thick bats, and they rushed up to the door ferociously.Right at t

    At first, Yafe and the rest of the Stone family were stunned after they heard what Liam said. Then, they all burst out laughing.Yafe looked at Liam with a mocking gaze and said, "Are you kidding me, Liam? You're going to get the Draytons to come and apologize in person? Come on, that's the Drayton family we're talking about! Do you think they are just some nobody?"Right now, I don't want to waste my breath anymore. As long as you're able to stop the Drayton family from targeting us, I'm more than grateful. Don't you forget that you're the one who wanted to leave the Stone family? So, stop dragging us into your mess."Liam shot the crowd with an icy glare and brought Celena out of the Stone Mansion.Celena was still in a slight daze after they got into the car. Liam put on her safety belt for her and asked, "What's the matter, dear? Are you still worried about the Draytons?"Celena nodded and replied, "Yes. After all, all these were caused by the conflict between Andy and us. Jus

    Liam wanted to ask what the family heirloom was, but he had no choice but to let it be after he heard what Yonatan said.However, Liam heard Yonatan's voice again, saying, "I've never seen that thing, but I heard from the Drayton family members that it was from a big shot in the military."The military?Liam's eyebrows furrowed once he heard it had something to do with the military. Then, he kicked Yonatan away, making him land next to the thugs.Yonatan passed out because of that kick.Once the thugs saw their leader was out cold, they took a couple of steps back in fear.However, Liam did not care about them at all. He looked at Yafe and the others instead.Once the Stone family members saw that they were out of the woods, they became cocky again.Yafe and Sherah, in particular, were so cocky that they ran up to Liam and condemned him, "Look what you've done! You're bad luck! What else can you do other than cause us trouble? Do you know who that is? He is from the Drayton fam

    Yonatan was infuriated and bellowed, "So this is how you're going to play! Alright! I'm not going to stop until I kill you today!"Yonatan was radiating an intense desire to battle. That was the air exuded by a fighter of Fourth Order War King caliber.The Stone family was so frightened by the air he exuded that their faces turned pale. All of them took more than ten steps back in fear, afraid they would be injured by mistake.Yonatan clenched his fist and charged at Liam like a ferocious beast. His fist was packing so much power that it created a sonic boom, cutting through the air and going for Liam's face.The punch was so powerful that it could kill a bull right away.The Stone family thought Liam was going to die. Nobody would be able to survive a punch like that.Yonatan thought the same. He was very confident in his ability. He looked into Liam and knew he used to be a soldier, as well as a good fighter. However, so what?No matter how skilled Liam was in combat, could he

    The moment Liam stepped into view, the Stone family members lit up as if they had spotted their guardian angel. They pointed at him, their voices rising in a chorus of relief and accusation. "Mr. Yonatan, look over here! It's Liam! I said they weren't with us!""Exactly! Mr. Yonatan, see for yourself, Liam's not part of our family!""Mr. Yonatan, now that Liam's here, if you're looking to pin the blame on someone, he's your man!""Liam, you actually showed up. If you hadn't crossed the Drayton family, would we, the Stones, have ever been dragged into this mess?""Liam, Celena, you two are nothing but trouble. You've left the family, so why keep stirring the pot for us?"...The air crackled with the Stone family's collective outrage, their faces twisted in anger as if they were ready to rip Liam and Celena to shreds.Celena and Liam's arrival was pure happenstance. They were just in the neighborhood to check in on an old friend when they overheard Yonatan's boastful taunts.Lia

    Yonatan did not even bother to look at him. He checked his watch with a chilling laugh and said, "You've got ten minutes for Liam to show up. Don't say I didn't warn you."The words sent a wave of shock through Yafe and the rest of the Stone family, who stared at Yonatan, panic-stricken.Yafe was a mess, desperate to explain, but the sight of Yonatan's henchmen, eager and ready for a fight, stopped him dead in his tracks."Mr. Yonatan, I swear it's the truth. Liam has nothing to do with the Stone family anymore. You've made a mistake!"Yafe's face was flushed with urgency as he tried to convince the unmoved man."It's true, Mr. Yonatan! Liam and Celena were kicked out of the Stone family ages ago.""That's right! He's got nothing to do with us anymore. If you're after Liam, go to the villa at Emerald Lake. He's there, not here with us.""Mr. Yonatan, if you head over to Drunham City and ask anyone, they'll tell you the same thing: Liam and Celena have no ties to us Stones anymor
