Tanner got all cocky after he mentioned Benjamin. His chest was puffed up, and he glared at Liam in disdain and barked, "Don't take me for a heartless person, Liam. If you kneel before me now and make me happy, I'll think about pleading with Mr. Solomon for you to have mercy and let you have a swift death."Liam felt a little speechless when he heard the mention of Benjamin. It seemed it was inevitable for him to avoid Benjamin. He did not expect that he would meet him at the restaurant.He could not help but grunt, "I can't believe this restaurant was opened by Benjamin."However, the way Tanner saw it, Liam was scared. Tanner let out a snort and said, "Hmph! You're afraid now that you know my boss is Mr. Solomon, aren't you? Hurry up and beg me for forgiveness on your knees now, then!"Liam was only slightly surprised at the very beginning. He was back to his calm and composed self again at that moment. He carried Jovie back to the couch and said indifferently, "There's no rush.
Benjamin was initially bellowing, but he held his tongue as soon as he saw Liam's face. He was stunned as he stood in place. It took a few seconds before he regained his senses.He stuttered, "Y-you—You—"He could not believe that the person who caused trouble was Liam! What a joke! If Liam wanted the restaurant, he just needed to say the word and Benjamin would hand it to him on a silver platter.He was no troublemaker who did not know any better. He was simply Death personified! Who would dare to offend him? If anybody did, then the person must have a death wish.Tanner saw that Liam was still as cocky after Benjamin arrived. He was desperate to impress his boss, so he rushed forward and bellowed at Liam, "How dare you, Liam? Not only did you not beg Mr. Solomon for forgiveness on your knees, but you had the cheek to have such insolence. You're eager to meet your maker, aren't you?"Tanner could already picture Liam being severely punished by Benjamin. The thought of it just mad
Tanner was stunned silly as he lay on the ground. He sat up, cupping his face, and watched in disbelief.Benjamin was the boss that he was relying on to back him up. At that moment, however, the insufferably arrogant Benjamin was groveling at Liam's feet and apologizing to Liam. That would mean that Tanner was certainly a dead man for the way he treated Liam earlier, would it not?Sure enough, after Benjamin cursed at him, he pointed at him and shouted at the men he brought, "All of you, teach him a lesson. Beat him up until he can no longer stand!"At his command, those men walked toward Tanner fiercely while holding the clubs.Tanner was in despair as he watched the men get closer and closer to them.He kneeled before Benjamin in tears and begged, "Mr. Solomon, seeing that I've been working for you for so long, please spare me."What followed was a violent beating and Tanner's miserable screams.Ten minutes later, Tanner was left lying on the ground on the verge of dying. He
All the staff were stunned when they saw the people at the entrance after they arrived at the restaurant. They quickly took out their phones to take photos of the restaurant and started discussing with one another."Wow! I can't believe we're having a gathering at Wonderland Restaurant! Ms. Stone truly has splurged on this dinner. I've been waiting to come to this restaurant for a long time, but I just couldn't get a spot.""Holy shit! Just the deposit to reserve this entire restaurant would cost thirty thousand dollars! It's a place that's famous for how hard it is to get a table too! Ms. Stone is amazing!""That's right! I heard the food here is so good it's mind-blowing. I really can't wait to try! Ah!""Hold on. Look, guys. Isn't the person at the door Mr. Benjamin Solomon? He came to welcome us at the door.""It's him. He's so handsome. Benjamin is a famous eligible bachelor. Girls, that's a guy from a rich family."Celena and Liam arrived at that moment and saw the female s
Celena had no choice but to give up asking more questions and brought the group into Wonderland Restaurant.As soon as they entered, they were stunned by the interior decor of the restaurant.It had a magnificent and exquisite garden style that could only be described as extravagant. The group felt like they were in a royal garden there. Any casual shots taken there would look like a professional shoot. It was no wonder why the restaurant would become such a hotspot among influencers.Most importantly, they realized that there were no other customers in the entire restaurant. It was especially quiet, which proved that they were the only ones in the restaurant that night.As soon as Celena and the others entered, the staff were ready. They long waited on either side of the lobby, and they popped the confetti cannons in their hands. The ceiling was covered with gold confetti, drifting through the air above everybody's head. It was beautiful."Welcome, Ms. Stone! Welcome, everyone!"
Liam did not deserve to be with Celena at all.The atmosphere in the private room immediately became tense. A few other staff quickly tugged at Finn's clothes, trying to get him to return to his seat.However, the drunk Finn broke free with his might and shouted, "Why are you tugging at me? I have to voice this out tonight. Liam is a useless person. How dare he? He's a loser who would only embarrass Ms. Stone. I can't stand it anymore. "Would Ms. Stone be targeted by people in the company all the time if it wasn't for him? Do you guys have no idea about that? Liam, how could you be so shameless and keep sitting there? Stand up. Tell me, don't you feel ashamed as a man?"Liam was calm as he listened to Finn mocking him. He looked up at Finn, who was all worked up and stood up.Seeing that, Celena quickly held Liam's hand, fearing that he would act on impulse. She shook her head and said, "Liam, don't be rash. He's just drunk. Don't be impulsive. He just drank too much, so he's spe
Gabriel had six men standing behind him. They were all thugs, so they had a ferocious air to them. All of them had a dagger around their waist, and their gaze could frighten and kill an ordinary person Gabriel was one of Quentin Jacka's subordinates and right-hand men, which made him an incredibly prominent figure.The man named Quentin was one of the mafia bosses in Drunham City. His status was second only to Eaden, but he was much more powerful than Eaden in some aspects. He was born and bred in Drunham City, after all. The forces in the city were so complicated that Quentin would not even take Eaden seriously at times.Because of that, the people from the mafias in Drunham City would often compare Eaden and Quentin together. Many people who could not stand Eaden would join Quentin in secret to overthrow Eaden and help Quentin get to the throne.Benjamin was an arrogant man, but he did not dare to be rude in front of Gabriel. He did not even dare to make a sound even though he w
Gabriel was not a person who would pity a woman. To him, only the person with absolute power had the right to speak. And the only person he admired was Quentin.Celena was stunned upon hearing that. She felt a little troubled as well. She wanted to refute, but she was a little scared of how ferocious Garbiel looked.The men at the table wanted to impress Celena and the other women. With the help of alcohol, they got up and shouted at Gabriel and his men, "Who the hell are you? Don't you know that Wonderland Restaurant was reserved by our manager? Who are you to kick us out? I think you're the person who should get the hell out of here?""That's right! Do you think you're thugs just because you act like one?""I call the cops on you if you continue putting on this act! We're having dinner here. Get the hell out of our room!""Hurry up and leave! Get the hell out of here now!"In an instant, all of Celena's male staff members were all worked up, pointing and cursing angrily at Gabr
