As long as the Stone family tied Liam, Celena, and Jovie up and sent them to the Hughes Mansion, then the Hughes family would only take their anger out on them. The Stone family would not be involved.Most importantly, Celena was still in charge of the collaboration with the Max Group. Of course, they would have to find a new person in charge later. Yafe's family was in constant trouble, so anybody within the Stone family could become the next person in charge of the collaboration.Thinking about the collaboration made Walter feel delighted deep down. His family was undermined by Yafe's for so long. As long as he could get the chance to collaborate with the Max Group, his family would come out on top.Right as Walter was making a call to send his man to the hospital, someone suddenly barged into the meeting room.Reginald's assistant rushed in and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Sir! There are a bunch of company representatives out there. They—They—"Reginald jumped up from this
Mr. Johnston was the representative of all the businessmen there and was standing in the forefront. After they exchanged pleasantries, he looked at Reginald with a big smile and said, "Reginald, your family has quite some tricks up your sleeves. I can't believe you have a relationship with Mr. Reath from Jerden Group. It's because of him that we're here to work with you. "These are the partnership agreements we've drawn up. If you feel there's nothing wrong with them, you can sign them. We'll officially become business partners then."What? Mr. Reath? Nobody expected that the person who saved the Stone family was Kolten from the Jerden Group!Everybody present was stunned. They just froze in place in shock.Kolten was a legendary person in Drunham City. He was self-made and built his own small company from the ground up. It only took him a few years to go from having a small business that was on the brink of bankruptcy to becoming the richest man in Drunham City. He even gained
Yafe and Reginald were not the only ones who were confused. Cheryl and all the other members of the Stone family, as well as the senior executives of the companies, could not figure it out as well. Why did Mr. Johnston and the others want to work with them?Mr. Johnston burst out laughing upon hearing their questions as if he expected that they would ask him that.He said to the crowd, "I knew you would ask. Mr. Reath has given me a message before he asked us to come.""What is it?" Reginald asked impatiently."Mr. Reath said it's out of respect for Mr. Liam Cole that he's doing all this. So, everybody, your so-called loser is your savior. Please treat him well."Mr. Johnston was about to leave with the others after he said that.The Stone family was stunned once they heard Mr. Johnston's remark. They were completely shocked.Never in a million years would they expect that Kolten was only helping them because of Liam. They did not expect that the loser, Liam, would have such inf
Echoing Yafe, Cheryl said, "Dad's right, Grandpa. We don't know what kind of relationship Liam has with Kolten. I feel we should ask and find out."The delight on Reginald's face faded a little upon hearing that. Then, he nodded and agreed, "You guys are right. We should ask. Cheryl, prepare some gifts and follow me to the hospital to visit Celena. We'll ask her and find out what's going on."Cheryl quickly walked forward to stop Reginald and said, "Grandpa, how can we make you go all the way there to visit Celena? Leave this to my father and me. Don't worry. We'll find out about everything and come back to tell you about it."Reginald thought she made sense upon hearing that. He was the head of the Stone family. How could he personally visit a younger member like Celena?"Alright, I'll leave this to both of you. You have to clarify Liam and Kolten's relationship. It seems Liam has many things that he's hiding from us."Cheryl and Yafe looked at each other and nodded. They quickly
Yafe looked at Celena seriously and asked, "It's true. Those bosses from the dozen companies came because of Liam. Celena, be honest with me, you've known it a long time that Liam knows Kolten, haven't you? Gosh, why didn't you tell us earlier?"Yafe's words were mind-blowing for Celena.Liam had a relationship with Kolten? How could that be possible? Was Kolten not the richest man in Drunham City? Liam just returned to the city not long ago. He was just a man who left the army. How could he possibly know Kolten?What was unbelievable was that Kolten would ignore the Hughes family's intentions and help the Stone family for Liam. By doing so, he would be openly going against the Hughes family Who the hell was Liam? How could Liam have such a great honor?The fact that Malcolm helped Liam earlier could be explained away as he was just giving special treatment to people who were discharged from the army. However, what did the richest man in Drunham City have to do with Liam?Cele
Yafe still could not figure out what type of relationship Liam and Kolten had. Seeing the way Shrah acted, he could not help but roll his eyes at her and barked, "What are you doing? You're an adult! Why are you still fighting with a child?"Sherah sneered, shot a fierce glare at Celena and Jovie, and said nothing else.The room was very quiet for the next few minutes. Everyone was sitting in their corner, not talking to each other.Ten minutes later, Liam returned with fruits and tea in his hands. As soon as he entered, he saw that many people were sitting in the room, staring at him with different expressions. Celena was the first to rush to him. She looked right at Liam seriously and asked, "Liam, is there something that you're hiding from me?"Liam's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, but he did not let it show on his face. He smiled calmly and asked, "Hmm? Why would you ask that? What could I be hiding from you?"Celena got a little anxious. Tears immediately welled u
Yafe's expression changed at the speed of lightning. He was all smiles and gentle earlier, but that was replaced by a frosty look. He glared at Celena and Liam and said in an icy tone, "Your grandpa asked us to come and clarify Liam's relationship with Mr. Reath. Since we already got our answer, we'll be making a move now."Yafe left the room without any hesitation while Cheryl followed closely behind him.Before Sherah left the room, she turned to sneer at Liam and said, "Liam, don't think you're safe just because you were lucky enough to resolve the business partnership issue for the company. Don't you forget that Captain Hughes' induction dinner will be happening in three days? If you get the Stone family into trouble then, we won't spare you!"Liam was opening up the box of fruits. Without even looking up, he replied calmly, "The Stone family won't get involved. I'll take care of it."Sherah sneered before turning around and left the room.Once again, peace was restored in t
Everyone in the meeting room was surprised to see what happened, and they started to feel nervous.Eaden did not sit at the head of the table, but he stood next to it with respect instead? Could that mean that a big shot who was even more powerful than Eaden would appear later?Right as everyone was nervously making guesses, Calum opened the meeting room door and walked in with a frosty air around him.As soon as set foot in the meeting room, he exuded all of the formidable might he had on the battlefield. He gave all the others such a fright that everyone kept quiet. They were all trembling, not daring to even make a tiny bit of sound. Everyone was shocked and scared when they looked at Calum. He had such a formidable bearing that they were terrified.Calum walked over to Eaden's side and scanned the room with a frosty gaze. He did not sit at the head of the table either. Instead, he stood on the other side of the seat like Eaden.In an icy tone, he said, "I am Calum Chanter. Y
