Chapter 640

Author: Voice From Heaven
The waiter soon arrived with their food, and soon the entire table was full of delicious, hot food. The arrival of the food seemed to dissipate the tension in the air, and everyone visibly relaxed.

As soon as dinner was served, Kayden stood up, raising his glass, and declared, "This is a joyous occasion, and I'm so glad to have all of you gathered here today. Let's toast!"

Everyone stood up, raising their glasses, except Jovie and Liam. Jovie was a child, so she was excused from the toast, but Liam's refusal to take part was unacceptable. He remained seated, his expression calm as though he did not hear Kayden at all, and he did not give his glass of wine so much as a glance.

The color drained from the Naylors' faces, and Yessica was the most spiteful out of them all. She glared at Liam and snarled, "Liam, are you deaf? Didn't you hear my father say that we should toast? Why aren't you doing it?"

Cheryl was just as outraged, and she immediately screeched, "Get up, Liam! How rude a

    Kayden Naylor let out a disdainful snort, his face twisted with rage as he spat out, "Save your breath. Me, a lowly deputy chief of some small-town tax office, I'm invisible to the likes of them."Yessica Naylor, backed by Theodore Eaton, chimed in with a sneer, "Oh, Celena, what's your game? If you've got a problem with our family, just come out with it. No need for this fake niceness at the party, only to stir up drama. If it weren't for family ties, do you think we'd put up with Liam, that loser? Does he even deserve our time?""Celena, you've got it all wrong. We invite you over for a nice meal, and then Liam goes and shames us like this? Too far, don't you think? And let's not forget, my dad's your elder. Treating him like this, is that what your family taught you? Oh, my bad, I forgot—the Cole family fell apart seven years ago. Liam's got no one to show him right from wrong."Theodore's eyes were icy as he glared at Liam, his voice dripping with disdain as he grilled Celena, t

    Liam grabbed a bottle of red from the table, filled his glass to the top, and slid it across the table with an icy stare fixed on Yessica.Yessica, sitting across from him, caught his frosty look and the generous pour. Her face twisted in rage, she snapped at Liam, "What's your problem? I told you it was an accident, and I've already said sorry to Celena. Why can't you let this go?""Oh? An accident, huh?" Liam chuckled darkly, stood up, and lifted his wine glass with a sardonic grin. "Then how about I 'accidentally' drench you in red wine? Don't worry, I'll apologize too. You wouldn't mind, would you?"Yessica panicked at the sight of Liam's threatening move, scrambling to hide behind Theodore. No way she was getting that wine on her. She was decked out in the latest, limited-edition designer gear from Louise Studio.That dress was her ticket to bragging rights at the next girls' night out. A red wine stain would ruin everything.Theodore wrapped his arms around his shaken wife

    Theodore's warning was clear in his tone, and his eyes, once fixed on Liam, then turned to Sherah as he added, "My father-in-law might go easy on you because you're family, but don't expect the same from the rest of us Eatons."His words sent a chill down Sherah and Yafe's spines, their faces twisting with dread.Sherah was livid, her face warped with anger as she jabbed a finger at Liam and spat out, "You useless piece of trash! You good-for-nothing stray, what are you waiting for? Get over there and grovel for forgiveness from Mr. Naylor and Theodore. Or do you want to drag our family name through the mud again?"Yafe's expression was icy as he glared at Liam, barking, "Liam! When will you stop this nonsense?"However, Liam just stood there, calm as ever, with no sign of remorse.That's when Sherah and Yafe turned their fury on Celena, hurling insult after insult. She sat there, taking the verbal beating without a word, her eyes brimming with tears.The sight stabbed Liam's hea

    "Yes, yes!""You're here? Great, I'll be right out to greet you!"After hanging up, Kayden was practically vibrating with excitement as he pocketed his phone.Yessica, noticing the change, asked, "Dad, who was that?"Barely able to contain himself, Kayden leaped to his feet and addressed Theodore and Yessica, "Theodore, Yessica, come on, quickly! Let's welcome Kolten, the top dog of Drunham City. He's a VIP, and we can't afford to keep him waiting."Theodore and Yessica exchanged looks of shock, quickly morphing into a mix of thrill and anxiety. "Dad, for real? The Kolten? The big shot from Drunham City?"Unable to mask his glee, Kayden nodded vigorously. "Absolutely. I've been in touch with him, hoping to introduce you. He's the big fish in Drunham City, and rubbing elbows with him could only help your business prospects there.""I tried to set up a meeting several times, but Mr. Reath's always swamped. Never imagined he'd show up himself tonight. Listen, when we meet him, you

    "Mr. Cole, what a pleasant surprise to see you here."The whole room was in shock, Kayden and the others could only gape at the unfolding scene, their eyes wide with disbelief.What was going on there?Were they seeing things?Kolten was no ordinary man, he was the richest guy in Drunham City, a titan of industry known far and wide!People of power and prestige would bend over backward to get on Kolten's good side, and yet there he was, blatantly ignoring Kayden and instead making a beeline to greet Liam, the Stone family's so-called 'good-for-nothing' son-in-law!Kayden, still with his hand awkwardly suspended in the air, watched the scene unfold, his face betraying his shock.However, Liam? He was the picture of calm. Holding Jovie, he did not reach out to reciprocate Kolten's handshake but simply offered a subtle nod.The crowd was left speechless, sucking a collective breath of cold air.Kayden, in particular, turned pale as fear washed over him, his forehead beading with

    Kolten was lying in the crowd, on the verge of spilling the beans about Liam's true identity, when Liam suddenly coughed."Mr. Reath, let's not get into our history. I'm just a small fry. If you and Mr. Naylor need to hash things out, we'll just get out of your hair," Liam cut in, his voice icy.Kolten caught on in a flash—Liam did not want his identity revealed to Kayden and the rest.Quick as a wink, Kolten nodded, his expression dark as he turned to Kayden and his family, who were grinning sheepishly. "Mr. Naylor, I came here to talk about a potential investment with your new company. However, now? I don't see the point."That one line sent Kayden's family reeling.They could never have guessed that Liam, the nobody they wrote off, was chummy with Kolten, a real mover and shaker. To think they were old buddies!Kayden's brow was slick with a sheen of clammy sweat. His years navigating the treacherous waters of politics honed his instincts, and he knew instantly that Kolten was

    Their apologies were hollow, and it showed.Liam, cradling Jovie in his arms, gave them an icy stare. "Apologize to me? You owe an apology to my wife, and her family, not me!"Yessica, unable to contain her outrage, burst forth, jabbing a finger at Liam. "The nerve! What are you implying? Listen here, Liam, don't get too cocky. You're just a deadbeat who lucked into the Stone family. Riding on your thin ties to Mr. Reath, you think you can strut around and give orders? Who do you think you are?""Liam, who do you think you are, asking me to apologize to that brat Celena? Look at me—I'm not just anybody. My husband's the deputy chief at the state Tax Bureau, and my son-in-law is the heir to the Eaton family empire.""Apologize? Like you're even in our league! I'll tell you this—we'd shut down the business before we'd ever say sorry!"At the scene, only Carmela and Yessica were still fuming with rage. Kayden and Theodore, of course, were not about to abandon their plans for the comp

    With Sherah's response, Kayden finally turned to Liam and inquired, "Liam, does that settle things for you?"Liam's gaze, however, was on Celena. In a gentle voice, he asked, "Celena, what's your take?"All eyes were on Celena then. She felt a touch awkward but managed a smile, "Liam, they're family, and they've both said their sorry. Let's just put it behind us."Hearing Celena's words, Liam had no further qualms. He turned to Kolten and said, "Mr. Reath, my apologies for the spectacle. Family drama, you know how it is."Kolten caught on quickly, flashing a knowing smile as he shook his head. "Mr. Cole, what's this talk about? We're practically family here, so no worries. Mr. Naylor, let's get back to our chat about your new company's investment deal, shall we?" His words were a breath of fresh air to Kayden and Theodore, who practically beamed with delight, their faces plastered with ingratiating grins. They were all nodding and bows as they ushered, "Absolutely, Mr. Reath, if

    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
