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
Cheryl was absolutely furious, as though the burning jealousy within her would consume her at any moment. "Dad, it was all Celena's fault in the first place, so why did you tell me off instead of her?"Yafe's expression darkened at this. He strode over to the couch and sat down next to Cheryl, then replied curtly, "Cheryl, it's about time you start behaving. Have you forgotten the fact that Mr. Miller himself appointed Celena as the sole person-in-charge of the new project?"Cheryl hissed through gritted teeth, "I know that, Dad, but it's so unfair! Why does it always have to be Celena? Why do good things happen to her all the time? It happened once with Max Group, then with the invitation to the Connoisseurs, and now it's happened again! Celena stole everything that rightfully belongs to me!"How come she gets so lucky every time? She's not even as smart as me, so why does she get all these great opportunities? I can't help but suspect that she's only managed to obtain these opport
With that, she sneered and added, "I haven't forgotten what Liam said. He claims that his wedding will be far more grand than mine. We'll see! I'd like to see how a good-for-nothing like him can possibly throw a wedding better than me!"What was he thinking? The audacity of Liam to even suggest that he could outshine Wasyl and Cheryl at any point! What did he base his claim on? How delusional!Yafe also snickered at this and nodded in agreement. "Of course, Cheryl. What kind of wedding can someone like him possibly put out, anyway? He's no match for us at all! On the day of the wedding, we shall put on a livestream so that everyone in Drunham City can see what fools Celena and Liam have made of themselves! Your grandfather will also finally realize just how foolish he was to ever trust Celena and Liam!" Cheryl and Yafe whispered amongst themselves, occasionally cackling sinisterly at the thought of their splendid plan.On the other hand, Liam got off the call with Celena, his for
Liam's expression darkened at this. "The Norris family sent over a martial artist named Mr. West to hunt me down?"Despite knowing that Liam could hold down a fight, Sunniva still felt it necessary to warn him of the imminent danger. "That's right. Mr. West is renowned in the capital for being one of the most legendary martial artists to have ever lived. He owns many dojos in the capital and has also nurtured many great fighters who trained under him. Most of his students have gone on to become exceptional martial artists, and some of them have even joined the military to serve the country. Apparently, these people ended up holding very high rankings in the military as well."Rumors have it that one of Mr. West's apprentice just so happens to be a major in one of the Southern Biskeland War Zones, and he himself is also a Fourth Order War King, and on his way to becoming a military king as well. I know you're a great fighter, Liam, but there's no way you can match up against this man…
All of a sudden, Sunniva's phone rang, and the moment she glanced at her screen, her entire body tensed as though she had just seen a ghost. She quickly took the call, but Liam could not hear anything from the other end of the line. All he could see was Sunniva nodding furiously at the other person's every word. Finally, she hung up and turned to Liam with an alarmed look. "Oh no, my father has just arrived in Drunham City and is already on his way to the office. If he finds out that you were the one who crippled Yankel, he won't let you get away with this!"Liam stared at her, taking in her panicked expression, but clearly, she was more so nervous for her sake and not at all worried about Yankel's condition. He asked, out of pure curiosity, "Are you and Yankel really siblings?"The color drained from Sunniva's face, and a glimmer of malice flashed through her eyes. "Well, this is actually a family secret, but I suppose it won't hurt to tell you. The truth is, Yankel and I aren't b
He was followed by a middle-aged woman wearing expensive clothing but with a frantic expression on her face. She had on a full face of makeup, and it was clear she had put in considerable time and effort into her beauty routine because she looked much younger than her actual age.The woman whispered something in the man's ear and then immediately reached up to wipe the tears from her face, looking rather perturbed. The two of them stepped into the building, their assistant trailing behind them. The assistant found the nearest policeman and barked, "Hey, we're here to bail out Mr. Yankel Bristow."The policeman glanced at the three of them and was rather annoyed by the assistant's harsh and clearly contemptuous tone. He furrowed his brows. "Who are you?"Before the assistant could even reply, the woman shoved him aside and stepped forward. "We are Yankel's parents. We hail from the Bristow family in the capital. You'd better let our son go right this instant! Also, the man responsibl
