Kiel was very confused at that moment. He could not tell what was going on at all. He was anxious as he looked at Eaden and asked, "Mr. Wafer, what are you doing? Did you mistake him for someone? Liam is just a loser who's financially dependent on his wife. Why—Why are you so respectful to him?"Kiel and Benjamin were not the only ones who were confused. All the other people were befuddled as well.What the hell was going on?Benjamin's heart was pounding. He just had a feeling that something bad was going to happen in a while.Upon hearing that, Eaden turned to look at Kiel and barked, "You've got some nerve, Kiel. How dare you offend Mr. Cole? You even wanted to attack him. Listen up. Mr. Cole is not someone you can afford to cross. As for who Mr. Cole is, you have no right to ask!"What he said struck everyone like a bolt from the blue, leaving them stunned.Kiel was so frightened that he shuddered. His face was as white as a sheet as he looked at Eaden in disbelief. In a pani
Eaden was pissed off. He walked up to Kiel and grabbed his collar before he bellowed, "Kiel, are you challenging my authority? You do have a death wish!"Eaden released his grip aggressively and kicked Kiel.The force of the kick made Kiel take a couple of steps backward and land on his bottom on the floor in the end. Benjamin frantically helped Kiel up again.Kiel glared at Eaden ferociously and said, "Eaden, I'm being courteous to you because I respect you as the mafia boss of Drunham City. But this is my family's business. It's none of your business, isn't it? Are you being too nosy? A piece of advice—don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong. Otherwise, don't blame me for not showing you mercy. At the wave of Kiel's hand, the 100 men he brought immediately rushed forward and had Eaden and Liam surrounded.Eaden only brought a dozen men with him. He thought his reputation was enough to frighten everyone. However, he had underestimated how bold Kiel was at taking risks.Ye
"Five minutes," Liam said calmly after glancing at his phone.Benjamin glared at Liam and bellowed, "Enough, Liam! You've gone overboard with the act you're putting on! Do you think you'll be spared just because you bought yourself time? I'd like to see if Mr. Lynn and Mr. Sandberg would be here today."Meanwhile, two Audis pulled up at the entrance to Emerald Lake. Two frantic middle-aged men jumped out of the cars after the doors were opened.They saw each other once they got out of the car. After they locked eyes, they rushed toward the sales office together.If Kiel and Benjamin saw them, they would recognize them. That was because those two men were the reason Liam was so confident.Both of them were the people that all prominent families in the business field in Drunham City were looking up to. That was because so many things in their businesses had to go through them.After the two men looked at each other earlier, they understood what was on each other's minds. They felt
The crowd could not stop talking about the situation.Kiel's expression got incredibly sullen. He was very surprised that Garrett and Harrison's attitude toward Liam was so unusual, but he was very sure they would not betray him. After all, they were all in the same boat.That showed that Kiel's thinking was too naive.What Garrett and Harrison said next was practically a death sentence for Kiel.Harrison grabbed a few documents from his assistant and handed them to Liam with great respect. "Mr. Cole, as you requested, I've drawn up a few papers. This is the document to request the Solomon family to reduce their prices. "This is the notification letter requesting the Solomon family to pay you four hundred and fifty million dollars as compensation for your loss. Please have a look. If there are no issues, I'll go ahead with them."Garrett, on the other hand, quickly handed the documents to Liam and said, "Mr. Cole, I've put someone solely in charge of the Solomon family's case. I
The sound of Kiel and Benjamin begging for forgiveness echoed throughout the sales office.The father and son duo who were so arrogant a moment ago was in a mess as they wailed on their knees.The spectators were shocked to see that. They were all completely stunned. Everyone was puzzled about Liam's real identity. Who was this person? Was he the last of the Cole family who vanished seven years ago?Ever since Liam appeared in Drunham City a while back, rumors were going around that he was discharged from the army and was a completely useless man. They said he could only survive by marrying into the Stone family and letting his wife support him financially.But by the looks of it, Liam did not look like someone who needed to do all that to survive.He was someone who had the means to make Garrett and Harrison so respectful to him. How could he be just another common folk?Everyone was guessing Liam's real identity and his real motive for returning to Drunham City. At that mom
Kiel knew very well that he had no other option but to agree. If he did not do as he was told, then the Solomon family would not just be losing half of their fortune. His family would be destroyed instead. "Okay, I'll do it! I'll do as you requested, Mr. Cole," Kiel replied resignedly with an ashen expression.With that, Liam gave a satisfied nod. He threw the documents in his hand to Garrett and Harrison, then immediately turned and left the sales office in Emerald Lake. Before he left, he bought both the mansions on either side of the King Mansion. Then, he ordered Kiel to tear everything down to build an amusement park for children.Everyone was stunned by such an act by Liam.Eaden stayed behind after Liam left to deal with the aftermath diligently. He gave stern warnings to everyone present that no one could leak the information about Liam's actions today. He would not let them off if he found out someone leaked anything about Liam at all.After Liam left the sales office,
Before they could say much, Sherah rushed forward and pointed at Liam's nose while cursing, "Liam! You asshole! You dare to come? Captain Hughes arrived personally so you better kneel and apologize to him! You loser! This was all your fault!" Once Sherah started, the senior executives of the company and the Stone family members who were standing on either side of the room also started cursing at Liam."That's right! Liam, you're such a loser! If you didn't offend the Hughes family and Captain Hughes, would the Stone family be in such a state? This is all your fault!" "You bloody loser! Quickly kneel and apologize to Captain Hughes!" "Celena, why are you still standing there? Quickly get Liam to kneel and apologize to Captain Hughes! Don't you think you've done enough damage to us?"Liam did not care about the cursing crowd at all. He turned his gaze toward Celena, and he immediately saw her swollen cheek. There was a fresh, red slap mark on her cheek. Her eyes were teary, and s
The Stones and the senior executives of the company were just staring at each other in the meeting room. No one was making any sound. Just when Liam was going to speak up once more, Reginald took a step forward from the crowd. He was with his walking stick, and he looked sullenly at Celena, who was bawling and sobbing. His gaze then landed on Liam, and he said, "Me! I hit her! Do you have any objections? Or do you think I have no right to hit Celena?"Reginald slammed his walking stick on the ground, creating a knocking sound so loud and clear. His gaze was cold and fierce, staring directly at Liam."Reginald, what mistake did Celena do to warrant such a heavy punishment?" Liam asked.He suppressed the rage he was feeling. His fist was tightened so hard that his knuckles were making cracking sounds. His brows were locked into a frown as he glared at Reginald. Reginald sneered and glared at Celena coldly before he asked, "Why? What else do you think could be the reason? If it was
