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
Well, they were only half-correct. Celena was indeed the reason for Yankel's arrest, but unbeknownst to them, the culprit behind Yankel's capture was not Mr. Miller at all, but Liam himself!Cheryl was gritting her teeth so hard that she felt as though she would bite through her jaw at any moment. Her beautifully made-up features were now twisted in an envious scowl, and her brows were tightly furrowed in disapproval. She glared at Celena, her eyes ablaze with white-hot rage. When she saw how shocked Celena looked, she wanted nothing more than to slap the disbelief off her face.What was so good about Celena anyway? Cheryl was confident that she was better than Celena in everything—her looks, her figure, her fashion sense, and the list went on. Why would Mr. Miller fall for Celena instead of her?Celena took in a deep breath then stood up rather timidly, staring across the room at Mr. Miller. When their gazes met, she once again saw the familiarity in his eyes, the soft, tender look
Cheryl even reached out and laid her palm across Liam's thigh, her eyes blazing with desire as she murmured, "How does that sound, Mr. Miller? It would be a treat…"To her surprise, Liam was not at all tempted by her offer. On the contrary, he scowled, "Ms. Stone, I would advise you to have some more self-respect. Even if you're good in bed, that is not information that I would need at all, because unfortunately for you, I am not at all interested in a shameless, promiscuous sl*t like you."The smile froze on Cheryl's face, and, seeing this, Liam could not resist adding, "Please stay away from me from now on, Ms. Stone, because quite frankly, I'm rather disgusted by your behavior."The entire room was silent. Everyone gaped at Cheryl in disbelief. Celena was too far away from them to overhear Cheryl's whispers, so she had no idea what Cheryl even said to him. However, judging from Mr. Miller's response, she easily understood what had happened. Cheryl had come onto Mr. Miller, but
The air seemed to turn cold for a moment, and suddenly, there came the sound of stifled laughter from amongst the crowd. Cheryl's entire face was as red as a beetroot. She shot Liam a deathly glare, then picked up her shoe rather haphazardly and hobbled out of the room. When she brushed past Celena, she shot her a cold look before finally disappearing out the door.Who would have thought Cheryl would end up in such a predicament?The rest of the Stones all knew of Cheryl's intentions. It was evident in the look of awe she kept casting Mr. Miller, but who would have thought this billionaire would turn out to be such a prude?As soon as Cheryl left, Yafe turned to Liam and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry about that, Mr. Miller. This is all my fault. I should've educated my daughter better. I can assure you that I will not allow something like this to happen again!"Liam glanced at him coldly. "Mr. Stone, I sincerely hope you can keep a closer eye on your daughter. If something l
Celena stared at the name card for a few minutes, unable to believe her eyes. Then, she took out her phone and dialed Liam's number, excited to tell him the news. "Liam, Liam, guess who I met today!"Liam, who was at this moment sitting in the backseat of his Rolls-Royce, having just removed his mask, let out a sigh of relief. From all the times Celena kept staring at him, intrigued, he thought he was going to blow his cover!He was pleasantly surprised to receive a call from Celena at that exact moment. He smiled when he heard the excitement in her tone and replied, "Who is it? Could it possibly be Mr. Miller?"Celena froze in surprise, then gasped. "How did you know?"Liam stared down at the black mask in his hands and replied, chuckling, "Just a lucky guess.""You're a great guesser, then, because you're right!" Celena chirruped, clutching the phone to her ear. She then continued, her entire body practically bursting with exhilaration, "Do you know what happened, Liam? Mr. Mill
Of course, he was not worried. He was Mr. Miller himself, so why would he be worried about his wife going out for dinner with himself?"I trust you, Celena. You'd never do anything to betray me, and besides, I'm certain that Mr. Miller chose you because he saw how capable you are. Also, I'm not worried at all about you going out to dinner with him alone, because judging from his behavior, I don't think he'd be the kind of person to take advantage of a woman…"Celena wanted nothing more than to pry Liam's skull open right that instant and see what his brain was made of. How could this idiot possibly not understand what she was hinting at? "Liam, you idiot! I thought it was so obvious already but I guess you're slower than I thought… Ah, never mind. I need to get back to work now…" Celena said huffily, then hung up the phone without even waiting for Liam's response. She stared at the screen, gritting her teeth in frustration for a moment. Finally, she could not help complaining out
Cheryl was even more outraged to hear this. How dare Celena continue feigning innocence? Clearly, she was an expert at seducing and tricking men by putting on an innocent front, but Cheryl would not be fooled by this! She glared at Celena and shrieked, "You didn't? Are you trying to say I am lying, then? Oh, cut it out, Celena! You may have fooled everyone, but you can't fool me! You're a sl*t, so don't keep pretending you're not! I'm not a dumb, gullible man, so I won't be tricked by your schemes!"Tears welled in Celena's eyes when she heard this. She tried her best to stifle her tears as she continued explaining, "I don't know what I did to make you think this of me, Cheryl, but I'm not the kind of person you think I am… I've never done anything to seduce anyone…"The two of them were making such a commotion that, at this point, they had been surrounded by a group of curious employees. When Cheryl raised her arm again, looking as though she would slap Celena once more, the employe
