Cheryl sat to the left, glaring at Celena, who was brooding opposite her. Anger was etched on Cheryl's face, but beneath it, a trace of glee flickered. She chimed in with fervor, "Celena, you're a real curse, aren't you? The materials were your responsibility, and they've been outright rejected three times. Do you grasp the gravity of that?"

"We've just been notified by the Quality Supervision Bureau that our materials have repeatedly failed to meet standards and must be corrected. If we have to resubmit for inspection, it'll be another half a month. Do you understand how vital this batch is? How much of a delay this half month will cause to our schedule? How much will it cost the Stone family? Lacking competence, yet you cling to your position, and when trouble arises, you just cower, expecting us to clean up your mess?"

With those words, the Stone family company's executives, many of whom had little love for Celena, pointed at her with anger, piling on the rebuke.

    Yafe was livid, his neck flushed and his eyes blazing as he thundered, "Do you really think I, Yafe, would stoop to sabotage a young one like you? Am I as clueless as you? Have you any idea how much this half-month mess is costing the Stone family?"Cheryl, equally incensed, stood and jabbed a finger at Celena. "Zip it, Celena! What are you trying to say? That Dad's setting you up?"Yafe's face was a mask of fury as if he had been deeply insulted by Celena, and the other Stone family executives were quick to pile on the censure.Celena shot up from her seat, her hands fluttering as she rushed to clear the air. "Dad, Cheryl, you've got it all wrong! That's not what I meant at all," she pleaded.Yafe let out a dismissive snort and cut to the chase. "Enough, Celena. No more excuses. You've got until the end of the day to secure that approval from the Quality Supervision Bureau. Fail, and I'm taking this to the boss. He'll have to think about putting someone else in charge, someone who

    Cheryl sneered and returned to her seat, looking at Celena with disdain.Tears were welling up in Celena's eyes as she glanced at the people who were present. She saw that all of them were looking at her with an icy gaze. Some were mocking her, some were looking down on her, and some were gloating.She did not intend to stay any longer upon seeing that. She wiped off a tear at the corner of her eye and packed her documents, ready to leave the meeting room.Suddenly, a staff barged into the room, running in a hurry and shouting frantically, "Bad news, sir! Bad news! Mr. Stone, Ms. Stone, there are a bunch of soldiers outside. There are a few military trucks too, and they are all packed with materials! Hurry up and go take a look!"Yafe immediately looked up. He did not dare to believe his ears, so he asked for confirmation, "What did you say? Military trucks? All packed with materials?"Wiping off the sweat on his forehead, the staff nodded and said, "Yes, there are a few of them,

    Yafe and the crowd walked hastily to the parking lot and saw the troop of armed soldiers from afar. The soldiers were guarding the military trucks that were filled with materials.People who did not know better would have thought that the trucks were delivering some treasures. That was because two soldiers were standing next to each truck with their guns, guarding it solemnly.Yafe and the others only saw this scenario on television. They never saw such a thing in reality at all.Yafe was incredibly excited deep down. He felt that every single step he took was filled with pride, especially after he saw the shoulder mark of the person leading the soldiers. Realizing that the man was a first lieutenant, Yafe immediately put an ingratiating smile on his face.Yafe extended his hand with a fawning smile and said, "Hello, sir. May I know what brings you here?" Steven led the troop himself to transport the materials upon receiving orders from Malcolm. He was dressed in a well-fitted un

    "I'm very sorry, Ms. Stone. I can't tell you that. It's classified information of the military, you see. But I can promise you that these materials are manufactured by our armory, so they are definitely of top quality."As Steven said that, he gave the soldier next to him a signal with his eyes. The soldier saluted him before he immediately turned to the truck behind him. He then grabbed a quality inspection report from the armory in Southern Precinct and handed it to Celena.Steven continued, "Ms. Stone, this is a quality inspection report from the garrison of Drunham City. You can send this batch of materials to the Quality Supervision Bureau of Drunham City to get them inspected as well. There won't be any issues with them."Celena accepted the report and nodded in a daze. Then, she saw Steven and the few military trucks out of the factory.It was after Steven and the others left that the crowd let out a sigh of relief. After all, they were just ordinary folks. Facing so many ar

    Hearing Liam's words, Celena could not help but grumble bashfully, "You're such a sweet talker."Liam's smile grew wider. He knew Celena would get embarrassed easily, so he did not dare to go over the board. He quickly asked, "Oh yes, Celena, what would you like for dinner? I'll go get groceries later. I'll make dinner and wait for you to come home."Celena no longer felt tense since the issue was resolved. After Liam teased her, Celena felt completely relaxed, so a faint smile appeared on her gorgeous face.She gave it a serious thought and said with a smile, "I'll take you up on your offer, then. Let's have barbecue ribs. Oh, and some chicken soup."Thinking about the food made by Liam got Celena feeling a little hungry. She continued, "Liam, the food you make is too delicious. Jovie and I love them. I'm feeling a little hungry now at the thought of the barbecue ribs.""Alright, I'll do as you say. I'll make you barbecue ribs, chicken soup, and your favorite crawfish tonight," L

    Theodore sneered and continued, "Mr. Fabin isn't greedy for money, but he's a lecherous man. I treated him to dinner last night and got him five women. "I've asked him to find a random reason to reject Celena's materials and deliberately stall them. I'm guessing that Celena and the Stone family's company must be in a mess right now. "After all, this batch of materials is going to affect their collaboration with the Max Group. If the schedule is delayed, the Stone family is probably going to suffer a huge loss."The grin on Theodore's face became ferocious and his gaze became incredibly vicious upon saying that.Yessica, on the other hand, nodded happily. She, too, had a ferocious grin on her face as she said, "Haha, that's fantastic. Celena's going to be resented by the Stone family now. They are certainly going to give that bitch a hard time."Theodore nodded and echoed, "Of course! You've no idea how important this batch of material is to the Stone family. Just a one-day delay

    Yessica snickered bashfully and got up from Theodore's lap. She then squatted under the desk and pleasured Theodore with all her might.Right at that moment, Theodore's phone suddenly rang. Theodore was enjoying himself, but he was interrupted, so a hint of displeasure gleamed in his eyes.He grabbed his phone and was surprised that it was Mr. Fabin from the Quality Supervision Bureau who was calling.He waved his phone in front of Yessica and said with a smug smile, "Did you see that? Mr. Fabin's calling. The Stone family must have gone to him out of desperation."Upon saying that, Theodore answered the call. With a smile, he asked, "Mr. Fabin, since you're calling me at this hour, could it be that you've gotten everything settled?"Yohan was sitting in the chair in the office of the Materials Department at the Quality Supervision Bureau. Grinning as he succeeded in his evil scheme, he said, "As to be expected of Mr. Eaton. You truly have such good predictions. But with me steppi

    The staff member named Leila was a college graduate who was assigned to Yohan's department not too long ago. She was still an intern at that moment, so she was afraid that any mistake she made would affect her chances of becoming a permanent staff member.Seeing that Yohan was pissed off, Leila quickly bowed her head and apologized in a panic, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fabin. I'm very sorry. It's my fault."Yohan noticed Leila's cleavage under the collar of her shirt as she bowed her head, and he could not take his eyes off it. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Just remember to knock the next time. I see that you're in a hurry. Is it an emergency?"Yohan was gawking at Leila, surveying her. She had an ordinary appearance, but the business suit on her gave her a special charm. On top of that, she was fresh out of college, so she was still giving off an air of innocence.A pure, innocent-looking young woman like her had a different charm compared to those seductive women who were great i

    Meanwhile, Celena and the group were taken out of the hotel and shoved forcefully into a couple of jeeps waiting at the entrance. They were whisked away to a nearby military base. Before they could even get their bearings straight, they found themselves being tossed into holding cells. Celena, on the other hand, was taken separately to a small, dark room, illuminated only by the barest sliver of light that peeped in through a tiny window. The room was entirely empty, save for a metal bed frame. A sour stench hung in the air, and it was clear this room had been abandoned for a very long time. A soldier shoved Celena roughly into the room, and before she could realize what was happening, the soldier slammed the door shut.The soldier had pushed Celena so hard that she fell onto the ground, but upon seeing that her captor was about to leave, she leaped to her feet and sprinted over to the door. "Sir, can you tell me what I did wrong? Can you please have mercy on me? Can you at least

    Tristan seemed just as baffled as they were. He returned their puzzled gazes with an equally perplexed one of his own. "I… I have no idea…"The general glanced sharply in their direction, then gestured to his soldiers and declared sternly, "Take them away!"His soldiers obliged and stepped forward to restrain the members of the Drunham City Connoisseurs, who all shrieked in alarm, "Why are you taking us away?""General, what did we do wrong? We didn't do anything illegal, so why are you arresting us?""Mr. Xander, save us! They've got this all wrong!""What's going on here? Why are they arresting only us?"Celena's entire body was shaking like a leaf. She eyed the soldiers around her and asked, stammering, "General, what did we do wrong? Why are we being captured? Where are you taking us?"Tristan, stricken with panic, shoved a soldier aside and shouted at the general, "General, I'm the president of the Drunham City Connoisseurs, and I want to know why we're being taken away.

    Celena was utterly terrified by the sudden turn of events. She stared pale-faced at the soldiers around her, not daring to move even a muscle. What was going on?All of a sudden, a man in a uniform stepped into the room. The badge on his shoulder indicated to everyone that he was a general. The heavy thumping of his boots echoed through the silent room with every step he took. All eyes were on him as he stepped onto the stage.He carried himself with great authority, and clearly, this man was not one to be messed with. He scanned the room as if searching for someone. Finally, he announced in a deep, resounding voice, "Do not fear, ladies and gentlemen. We are here on a routine check after receiving a tip-off regarding your conference. We will release you all once we have carried out our investigation, and the process will be quicker and smoother if you all cooperate. "Now, I would kindly request you get your documentation ready so that my men may confirm your identity."Everyone

    Derek nodded earnestly and replied, "Of course it's true. My sources have never failed me. I wouldn't have trusted you with this information if I didn't think you'd be interested."Celena stared at him for a moment, then turned to glance in the direction of the people he had pointed. She could not help but be tempted by the offer. She considered this for a few moments, then accepted his offer. "Alright then, Mr. Duncan. I'll go with you. Thank you for inviting me."The smile on Derek's face widened. He could hardly believe his luck—Celena had agreed to go with him! Taking that first step was always the hardest, but he had done it!Unbeknownst to Celena, Derek already knew her long before their first meeting at the conference. Her name was known far and wide in Drunham City, not least because of her beauty, but because of her—in the eyes of the public—tragic marriage. Celena had earned herself a reputation as one of the most beautiful women Drunham City had ever seen, and although

    The attention they received, however, was large due to Celena and her young, handsome companion, who was a man named Derek Duncan. Their attractive looks, both individually and combined, were easily the topic of discussion that night. Everyone who laid eyes on them admired both their good looks and brains, for certainly only the cream of the crop were allowed to attend this prestigious event. What made this feat even more impressive was the fact that they were both so young!Aside from her beauty, Celena's name was already known far and wide in the business world, not just because of her strong leadership but due to her association with Liam and her company's connections with many international corporations. She had started her business from scratch, but within a few short months, she had single handedly built it up to become one of the top ten grossing companies in Drunham City.There were hundreds of people gathered there tonight, and their seats had been allocated according to t

    The moment Clifford left, Kastor turned to Liam with a wide grin, all hint of his hostility now gone. "Mr. Cole, thank God I arrived just in time."He raised his brows as he said this, and Liam took this to mean he was trying to claim credit. Truth be told, he would have been able to handle things on his own even without Kastor's help, but he decided this was a detail Kastor did not need to know. Instead, he returned Kastor's smile graciously. Kastor, like a child, burst into laughter at this. No further words were exchanged, but they understood the message nonetheless.Jeffrey also grinned. "Kastor, what brings you here all of a sudden?"Kastor replied, "Ah, you might not know this, Mr. Stein, but I actually own this very restaurant that you're sitting in right now. One of my employees called me for help, citing that a brawl was about to break out, so I rushed over immediately. I had no idea it would turn out to be you and Mr. Cole!""Ah, what a pleasant surprise, then!" Jeffrey

    Clifford scowled upon hearing this. He cracked his knuckles menacingly as he stared at Kastor through narrowed eyes.Kastor did not seem at all intimidated by this. Instead, he brushed past him and approached Liam, smiling. "Mr. Cole, I apologize for the delay. I rushed over as soon as I heard the news, but I was late anyway. I'm so sorry for the wait."Liam's expression eased up slightly. He tugged the corners of his mouth into a strained smile but did not reply. Clifford's expression turned even more sour when he sensed Kastor's tone. He asked sharply, "What is the meaning of this, Kastor? Are you intent on making me your enemy?"Clifford's reputation was known far and wide, and many feared him, but Kastor was not one of them. He shot Clifford a look of utmost disdain and replied, smirking, "Yes, Clifford, that's exactly what I'm going to do. So what if we will be enemies from now on? What are you going to do about it?"He was confident that Clifford would not dare to retaliate

    One of the muscle-bound goons stowed his submachine gun and drew a hefty machete, nearly a foot long, from his side. He advanced on Liam with deliberate steps.Calum and Cirocco were poised for a fight, ready to jump in at Liam's command and wipe out the roomful of petty thugs.However, Liam had other plans. He remained seated, an unfazed smirk playing on his lips, watching the approaching thug with the machete.The thug, mistaking Liam's calm for fear, grinned viciously and raised his machete, aiming for Liam's arm.However, in a flash, the scene changed.A figure hurtled through the air, and with a resounding crash, the thug was sent flying into the wine rack. The rack toppled, bottles shattering, their contents spilling and perfuming the air with the scent of alcohol.The thug hit the ground, blood spurting from his mouth, his eyes wide with shock. He lay there, lifeless, staring at Liam, dead before he hit the floor.The room plunged into a deathly hush.Corie clapped a h

    Corie was also shaken, her fists clenched tight under the table as she watched Liam with wide, fearful eyes, barely managing to whisper, "Liam!"Liam stood there, steady as ice, without a trace of fear. "Don't worry, I've got this," he assured.Corie, seeing Liam's calm dismissal of the threat and recalling his proven strength, felt her fear ebb away.She could not explain it, but she had an unwavering faith in Liam.Across from them, Clifford lounged back, his legs thrown carelessly over the table, his gaze dripping with disdain. "You don't know who you're messing with, do you?" he sneered. "Karpos works for me, Clifford. And yet, you've got the gall to attack my men in broad daylight? You're in over your head!"Jeffrey was about to chime in, but one look at Liam's icy demeanor and he thought better of it, choosing instead to watch the scene unfold in silence.He was curious to see just how Liam would handle that.Liam chuckled, a sound as cold as the winter wind, and fixed Cli
