Sherah quickly went forward to shield Cheryl behind her. Then, she shouted, "Liam, you better watch it! If you have the guts to act rashly, then Celena won't just be getting a beating as her punishment anymore! If you dare to strike, I'll banish Celena from the Stone family again!" "I'll get anybody who dares to bully my wife to pay tenfold for what he or she did!" Liam bellowed like he was announcing a sentence.He made the people in front of him so frightened that their legs started to shake uncontrollably.Reginald was completely infuriated by Liam's attitude. His expression changed rapidly, and his eyes were filled with rage. He yelled, "How dare you! This is outrageous! This is the Stones' company, and I am Celena's grandfather! What do you think you are doing? Do you dare to hit your wife's grandfather?"Reginald turned toward Celena and shouted, "Celena! You've had enough of me for a long time, haven't you? That's why you allow Liam to do as he wishes! See for yourself what
Even the air seemed to turn chilly as Trevyn said that, as though even the earth trembled from the weight of his words.Any ordinary person would have been scared by now, but Liam was unfazed. He replied calmly, "Is that so? I beg to differ. I think that when that day comes, you'll be the one on your knees instead. In fact, I think you and your entire family will be sobbing and begging me for mercy!"The entire room fell silent. All of a sudden, the soldiers standing along the entire stretch of the room loaded their guns unanimously as though preparing themselves for an imminent bloodbath!Trevyn and Liam stared daggers at each other. The air was so charged with electricity that everyone in the room felt chills going down their spines, and some of the weaker ones even started shuddering and fell onto the ground in crumpled heaps. Trevyn sneered, then leaned back in his chair and said to Liam, "You have balls, Liam Cole. I know that the only reason you're acting this way is becau
Celena paused, then glanced around at her own family glaring at her! Her rosy lips quivered as she tried to put her thoughts into words. She did not know what to choose. Although the Stones had been nothing but cruel to her, they were still her family! She had grown up learning the importance of family, and even though her family treated her poorly, she still did not want to leave them. Everyone turned to stare at Celena. There was a longing in their eyes, especially Yafe, Sherah, Qemal, and Cheryl. They all could not wait to get rid of Celena once and for all!Yafe did not like this daughter of his at all. Sherah, on the other hand, longed for nothing more than for Celena to disappear into thin air because Celena's presence was a constant reminder to her about the twisted start to her marriage with Yafe.Cheryl, on the other hand, had been living in Celena's shadow since a young age. She inherited her mother's hatred toward Celena and would rather Celena had never been born at all
Finally, Celena was beginning to calm down, and Liam gently helped her up from the ground and eased her into a chair. Then, he smiled and turned to glance at the people watching his every move. Finally, his gaze landed on Reginald. "Mr. Stone, do you remember what I told you? I told you that I would handle this! Why aren't you willing to give me a week to take care of everything?"Reginald frowned and stared back at Liam with a cold look. He scoffed and retorted, "You're far too cocky for your own good, Liam, but since you're so sure of yourself, I shall grant you what you want! I'd like to see what tricks you have up your sleeve to go against our future army general himself!"With that, Reginald got up and strode out of the room, with the rest of the Stones following suit. Soon, the only people who remained in the room were Liam, Celena, Yafe, Sherah, and their two children.Yafe's expression was dark. He glanced at Liam and was about to say something but decided not to when he s
Liam was unfazed. With a tilt of his shoulder, Kayson flung backward without warning, and he fell to the ground in a crumpled heap.He immediately picked himself up and patted his bum, glaring at Liam with boiling rage in his eyes. "How dare you! You're a useless, good-for-nothing piece of shit who relies on his wife and her family to provide! You can't even provide for Celena yourself! Why don't you go look at yourself in the mirror? Celena deserves far more than you! You should leave her and let someone else love her the way she deserves. I can give her everything she needs in life and more!"Kayson was glaring at Liam in the way a child would if his favorite toy was stolen from right under his nose. His entire face was flushed red with anger. Liam glanced at him sharply, then snickered and retorted, "Oh, you think Celena should be with you instead? You say you can give her everything she needs in life?""Of course! I'm the heir to the Wheeler family fortune, but not only that,
He glared in the direction Celena and Liam had left in, then screamed, "Very well, then! Since neither of you appreciates my efforts, I will make you realize just how wrong you were!"With that, Kayson took out his phone and dialed a number. "Hello, is this Stonehead? It's Kayson Wheeler here. I need your help on something. Someone has gotten on my nerves, and I need you to teach him a lesson! If you could cripple him, even better! Four hundred thousand dollars to get the job done!"After getting an answer, Kayson nodded in satisfaction and hung up. A mysterious smirk crossed his face as he glanced in the direction Celena and Liam had left. He would like to see how that wretched Liam could stand a chance against him. How dare he even cross him!Celena would finally realize how wrong she was to turn him down once he got ahold of her! He would teach her a lesson by letting her find out what she had almost missed out on!The thought of Celena's gorgeous face and her voluptuous curve
The windshield shattered into smithereens, and the man turned to admire his work. "A BMW, eh? Not doing too bad for yourself, pal."The rest of the men glanced at the car, then at Liam and Celena.Celena pulled Jovie closer to her and inched toward Liam in fear. "Don't be scared, Jovie. Mom and Dad are both here to protect you. Don't be scared…"Stonehead emerged from the crowd, one hand wrapped in a cast and the other clutching a cigar. He took a puff from it, then shouted, "Destroy the car! I have orders to capture both of them! Cripple the man, but spare the woman!"Being amongst the crowd, Stonehead could not recognize Liam. Instead, he gestured for his men to charge. The man who was in the lead raised his bat above his head, but before he could even bring it down to strike Liam, he was already sent pummeling into the air and landed in a crumpled heap.The rest of the men all froze, staring in disbelief at Liam. Stonehead was outraged at this. "What the hell are you all waitin
Stonehead fell onto his knees, his entire face pale with fear and despair at what he had done. "Mr. Cole, please accept my sincere apology. I had no idea it was you! Please forgive me, Mr. Cole. If I had, I would never have tried to hurt you or your wife, and I would never have destroyed your car, not in a million years!"Liam did not reply and instead gazed around him at the dozens of men clutching their bats. Some of them had met Laim before and had since then recognized him. They all began trembling with terror, beads of sweat collecting on their foreheads. They all fell to their knees to plead with Liam for mercy. Even those who had never met Liam before were intimidated and followed suit. Even their leader was afraid of this man, so they could not even begin to imagine how powerful this mysterious man was. Liam glanced at Stonehead, who was shaking like a leaf, and said, "Who sent you here? Is it Kiel or Benjamin Solomon?"Stonehead shook his head furiously. "It…it's neith
