Jovie shot Liam a glance behind Celena's back, looking like she expected as much. Then, she inched closer to Liam slowly and whispered into his ear, "Dad, you're naughty. You're lying. But I understand. You must be thinking of giving Mom a huge surprise, aren't you?"Liam was grinning from ear to ear when he saw how cheeky Jovie was. He pretended to be nervous as if his secret was found out and whispered into Jovie's ears, "Wow, you're amazing, Jovie. You've figured it out. But you'll keep this a secret for me, right? Let's give Mom a huge surprise when the time comes, alright?"Jovie could not help but cover her mouth as she put on a wicked grin. She stole a glance at Celena, then she nodded at Liam and said, "Yes, sure! I'll keep this a secret for you. This is our little secret. I won't tell Mom about it."Both Liam and Jovie grinned at Celena, looking like they just would not tell her about it.Feeling helpless, Celena shook her head. At first, she was still a little angry that
Yankel's secretary, Linda, entered the room while carrying a huge stack of documents. She was strutting in her heels, swaying her hips alluringly as she walked toward Yankel.Linda was delighted at the thought of the documents in her hands. She handed the documents to Yankel after she approached the desk and said, "Mr. Bristow, we've gotten the information about the guy named Liam."Yankel was interested as soon as he heard that. He straightened his back and asked with a smirk, "Oh? You've got it? Hurry up and tell me what's his deal."Linda opened up the documents and said, "We've got to the bottom of it. The incident that shook Drunham City seven years ago, the one where the Cole family was annihilated, has something to do with Liam. That's because he's the only member of the family who survived. Many people in Drunham City call him a loser now."Linda sneered a couple of times and continued in a mocking tone, "Mr. Bristow, that's nothing. Liam is now married into the Stone famil
Linda gently drew circles on Yankel's chest as she spoke. She put her burning red lips next to his ears and said, "Think about it. That's the Pendragon Warzone, the strongest war zone in Biskeland. I heard the soldiers there could defeat ten people by themselves. It wouldn't be strange for Liam to be skilled in combat."Yankel was breathing heavily because of Linda's seduction, but he still did his best to remain calm. Feeling a little skeptical, he asked, "Really? Is what you found out true?"Seeing that Yankel was still unconvinced, Linda took out her phone and searched for the news of the Hughes family's annihilation that shocked Drunham City. After she found the news about Liam's identity, she handed the phone to Yankel."Of course, it's true. Why would I lie? After what happened to the Hughes family, Liam's identity was reported in the news. He was probably in the news because they were afraid he would pretend to be someone from the Pendragon Warzone."Linda's tone was filled
Linda was taken aback after she heard Yankel's words, but she recovered very quickly. With a smile on her face, she said, "What are you talking about, Mr. Bristow? Of course, I'm just trying to defend you."You're the general manager of the company, and you're her brother. It doesn't matter if she slapped me or cursed at me. But no matter what, she shouldn't have disrespected you for the sake of an outsider."Sure enough, Yankel's expression darkened as soon as Linda said that. Yankel sneered and said, "Don't worry. I'll certainly teach Sunniva a lesson, but now is not the time for it. Once the timing is right, I'll make her understand who's the head of the Bristow family."Immediately after that, a wicked smile and a bone-chilling gaze appeared on Linda's face as she lay in Yankel's arms.…Soon, the next day arrived. The Stone family was in chaos.Reginald took the dinner that night very seriously, which was why he started his preparation very early. Finally, he brought Celena
Reginald highly valued the chance to build new connections that night, so of course, he would not allow the loser Liam to ruin it. Celena kept promising that she would keep an eye on Liam and that nothing would go wrong, but Reginald still rejected her with great resolution.Seeing that they were at a stalemate, Liam said he did not wish to attend the dinner. It was only then the issue was resolved.Liam repeatedly comforted Celena and said he did not care about the dinner, but Celena was still in a terrible mood, looking all depressed.At that moment, all of the Stone family members were filled with excitement. Cheryl noticed Celena's sorrowful face in the crowd in an instant and snickered with a look of disdain on her face."Come on, Celena. Why are you looking so sad? Don't you know how important this dinner is to our family? Why are you pulling with that long face of yours? If you miss that loser so much, you should just head home now. Otherwise, you're going to offend someone
Kolten was standing in front of the car, leading a crowd that consisted of the heads of eminent families and also the top businessmen in Drunham City. Everyone present was the cream of the crop in the city.At that moment, the people who were waiting in line at the door for their turn to enter noticed the commotion on their right. Once they saw who was standing there, they were surprised.Several distinguished families and businessmen wanted to go up to them to greet them, but they were surrounded by security guards. The people who wanted to greet them had no choice but to give up the idea and watch them from afar.The Stone family was standing at the higher steps at the entrance, so they had a view that was better than the others. One of them exclaimed, “Gosh! It's Mr. Kolten, Mr. Wheeler, Mr. Larsen, and the others. That's the top three richest men in Drunham City!""Looks like they are welcoming someone. I wonder who the big shot is that even the three of them would come out to
Qemal grabbed his phone and showed everyone the picture he just took. With great confidence, he said, "See for yourself. Isn't this Liam? He looks just like him. Who else could it be if it's not him?"Reginald and others immediately looked at Qemal's phone and saw the photo. In the photo, Kolten and the others were surrounding a tall young man, who was only showing his profile. Qemal zoomed in to take the photo, so it was rather blurry. They could only tell that the person resembled Liam a little. Celena was stunned when she saw the photo on Qemal's phone. It was just a blurry profile, but she believed that that was Liam. That was because the resemblance was uncanny. Not just the profile, but the height and build of the man looked too much like Liam.Celena quickly turned over to take a look and realized Kolten and the others escorted the mysterious young man into Misty Manor through the side door.Reginald and the other members of the Stone family looked at Celena with an inquisi
Once Sherah saw the video on Celena's phone, she mocked, "I figured. How could it possibly be the loser Liam? He doesn't even have the right to attend the dinner with us, much less let Mr. Reath and the others welcome him personally."The rest of the Stone family nodded and agreed.Qemal glanced at the photo he took, and then he glanced at the video on Celena's phone. It was already confirmed that Liam was not the mysterious big shot, but Qemal still could not help but exclaim, "I can't believe two people would look so much alike. How surprising!"As soon as Qemal said that, Sherah slapped him on the head. She looked upset as she barked, "How could you just shout when you didn't even get a good look? Think about it. Liam is just a loser. Even if he has a special relationship with Mr. Reath, he's still not important enough for the other two big bosses to come and give him a personal welcome."Qemal felt a little helpless and rubbed his head after he received the slap. He looked at t
