Celena's words made everyone burst out laughing. They were all looking like they expected it as they looked at Celena with a mocking gaze.Someone even started to poke fun at Celena, saying, "Oh, Celena, you truly are extremely shameless. Do you think we're fools? Can't you just tell us the truth? Why must you get Mr. Miller involved?""That's right! How shameless! She doesn't even know Mr. Miller, yet she insists on saying that it's Mr. Miller who saved her. She doesn't even have his number!""Celena, didn't Mr. Miller give you his contact after he coincidentally saved you?""Haha. Mr. Miller is such a distinguished person. How could he possibly know this bitch? She has returned to the Stone family, but who in Drunham City doesn't know what she did seven years ago?""Everyone in the city knew Mr. Miller. His identity is distinguished and mysterious. So many heads of eminent families wanted to get Mr. Miller's contact and build a connection with him, yet they had no way to do it a
Reginald was stunned. His hand that was holding the walking stick was still hanging mid-air. He was in shock as he looked at the assistant who came in.All the others in the meeting room were also dazed as they looked at the assistant who suddenly barged in.Cheryl was the first to regain her senses. She quickly asked, "What did you say? Who is here?"The assistant wiped the cold sweat off of his forehead and replied, "The boss of Misty Manor, Mr. Miller who's been the talk of the town lately, has come to our company."Everyone in the meeting gasped, feeling stunned.Gosh! That was Mr. Miller! Why would he come to the Stone family's company?Reginald regained his senses as well. He put down his walking stick and glanced at Celena, surveying her. However, he looked away very quickly and said to the crowd, "Alright. Let's stop the meeting here for now. The most important thing right now is to follow me to welcome Mr. Miller."A thought popped into Cheryl's head, and she walked up
Mr. Miller stood next to the car with his back straight, raising his hand calmly to acknowledge the crowd's greetings.Reginald took the chance to walk up to him in excitement, fawning over Mr. Miller as he extended his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Miller. Welcome to the Stone Group. It's our great honor that you're checking out our company. We just received the news, so we didn't prepare in advance to welcome you. Please forgive us for that."The masked Liam looked at Reginald without any expression. His attitude was completely different from how he usually treated Reginald. He did not intend to shake Reginald's hand at all.Seeing that, his assistant immediately shook Reginald's hand and explained with a smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Stone. Mr. Miller is not used to shaking hands with strangers."Reginald did not expect that Mr. Miller would be so rude, but it was fine since the assistant stepped up to save him from the embarrassment. However, Reginald did not get angry. He thought it was
Reginald led Liam to the meeting room. Liam was surrounded by the crowd, and all of their faces were covered in a fawning smile, trying hard to show him their best selves. They were also afraid they would upset Mr. Miller.Celena, on the other hand, was standing at the back of the crowd. After everyone walked off, Celena moved slowly and followed the others from the back.At first, Sherah wanted to set Celena and Mr. Miller up. However, after she saw how outstanding Mr. Miller was, another idea popped into her head.Why should she let that bitch Celena get such an excellent man? If he had to be her son-in-law, then he should be Cheryl's husband.However, Sherah did not forget that Cheryl was about to be married to Wasyl, the heir of the Abbott family. Thinking of that, she started to plot a scheme. Then, she finally followed the crowd.Suddenly, Mr. Miller stopped in his tracks, turning round to glance at the crowd before he quickly fixed his gaze on Celena, who was at the back of
Reginald let out a chuckle upon hearing Liam's words. He then pretended to thank Liam as if he cared about Celena very much.Liam did not wish to listen to Reginald's nonsense anymore, so he turned around and headed for the elevator.Soon, everyone arrived at the meeting room. Liam went straight for the center seat in the room and sat down calmly as everyone watched.That seat was supposed to be Reginald's as he was the president of the company. However, not only did the crowd have no objection that Liam was sitting on it, but they were fawning over him.If Liam were to appear in the room as himself, he would not even have the right to take the most ordinary seat, much less Reginald's seat. As long as Liam appeared at the Stone Group, he definitely would be getting criticized and insulted.That was because the Stones thought Liam was just a man who married into their family and a useless person who relied on his wife financially. He did not have the right to show up at the Stone G
If it was another person sitting across from Cheryl, she certainly would have cursed him. However, the person sitting opposite her was the most distinguished man in Durham City.Cheryl deliberately revealed her scalded wrists, pretending like it was all her fault. She put on a gentle smile and said, "It's fine, Mr. Miller. I should be the one to apologize. It's my fault for not noticing the temperature of the coffee."She even looked at Liam's hand with concern as she spoke. If Liam was not exuding a formidable might, she would have grabbed his hand."Mr. Miller, are your hands alright? Were you scalded?" Cheryl asked with a smile.Liam had a mocking smile under the mask. He did not feel how considerate Cheryl was as he looked at her putting on an act. He only felt disgusted.That was the benefit of being rich. Even if he deliberately poured the coffee on her hands, Cheryl would take all the blame. On top of that, she would apologize to him instead.Looking at Cheryl apologizing
Liam shook his head and said with a smile, "Reginald, don't get ahead of yourself. I can work with you, but I have a few terms. I'm not sure if you're able to accept."Reginald looked as if he knew what Mr. Miller meant when he said he had some terms to add. Reginald thought Mr. Miller was just like Yankel and took a fancy to someone.Without hesitation, he said, "I understand, Mr. Miller. Please name your terms. We'll be able to accept them no matter what."Yafe found the chance to chime in, so he echoed in excitement, "Please go ahead, Mr. Miller. Even if you have ten or even a hundred terms, we'll agree to all of them."The other members of the Stone family and the executives of the company nodded in excitement as well. Yafe's words were exactly what they had in mind.As long as they could form a connection with Mr. Miller and work with him, the Stone family's position and reputation in Drunham City would rise to another level.Mr. Miller was the boss who was backing up Kolten
30 million dollars?From the way Mr. Miller spoke about it, one would think he was talking about something worth 30 cents instead. He spoke about the business deal so nonchalantly it was clear that a deal of such a number would not even make a dent in his fortune. The hesitation had disappeared entirely from Reginald's face and was instead replaced with a look of excitement and anticipation. He then carefully pored over the document, not allowing even a single detail to escape his scrutiny. When he finally arrived at the final page, he was so excited by the prospects of the business deal that both his hands began to tremble. He took a deep breath to calm his nerves, practically grinning from ear to ear at this point, and said, "Mr. Miller, are you sure you want to offer us this business deal worth over thirty million dollars?""Of course, as long as you can meet my terms," Liam replied calmly. Reginald said without hesitation, "It's a deal! We will call off our partnership with B
