Suddenly, Liam's brows locked in a frown, his eyes turned cold, and he exuded a murderous energy. Cheryl backed away in fear after she saw the sudden change in him. Her face turned white, and she stuttered, "Wh-what do you want to do?" Cheryl ruffled Liam's feathers after attacking Celena multiple times. Just as Liam was about to teach the insolent woman a lesson, his hand was suddenly held back by Celena, who suddenly came to her senses."Liam, don't. You promised me! Don't act rashly!" Celena shook her head. Liam glared at Cheryl, then took a look at Celena's eyes which were filled with worry. He sighed resignedly and let go of his hand. Once Cheryl got away, she quickly hid beside Reginald. She massaged her wrist, which was swollen and bruised, and whined, "Grandpa, my hand hurts! Look!"She held out her hand toward Reginald and continued with her complaints, "Grandpa, Celena is getting more and more arrogant! She is even like this to me in front of you. She is so disrespe

Tears welled up in Liam's eyes. As he watched Celena bawl at the top of her lungs, he felt his heart aching badly. Anna was looking at Celena as she cried her eyes out as well. Anna could no longer take it. She rushed out from the crowd, embraced Celena, and also started crying."Celena! Oh, how I have missed you, my dear cousin."Everyone there was looking at Celena with an icy gaze. Anna was the only one feeling sorry for her. Liam scanned through the crowd, and he committed everyone's expressions in his memory in silence.Sherah watched with an indifferent gaze as Anna and Celena embraced each other. She was smiling, but she was already plotting in secret about how to target Celena after she returned to Stone Mansion. She would never let Celena have it easy after she became a part of the family again, much less allow her to threaten her children's position in the family. With that, after a round of apologies, the Stone family was going to take Celena and Jovie back into the

Upon saying that, Cheryl sneered and turned around arrogantly. Then, she strode back to her seat in her heels with a sense of satisfaction. Her gaze was filled with an extreme sense of contempt.Not one of the guests voiced out to reprimand Cheryl. Instead, they were all eager to watch the drama unfold. They looked at Celena, Liam, and Jovie with a mocking gaze and started discussing them. "This bastard child should learn her place. We are already so incredibly gracious to let her attend our family's dinner. She should just behave herself. Does she think she has the right to our family's food?" "Exactly! Who does she think she is? Does think she can do whatever she pleases now that she's back at the Stone Mansion?""How would she know her place? He's a loser. She's a b*tch. And they gave birth to a little bastard. What a perfectly matched family!" "Hahahahaha."Anger filled Liam's heart as he listened to the words of insult. His hands tightened into fists under the table. He

Cheryl stood in place without saying a word like she had been wronged. Then, she said sullenly, "So what? Am I not telling the truth? In any case, I'm not apologizing!" Reginald was already furious for having to bring Celena back and being unable to do anything to her. Cheryl's insolent behavior at that moment completely pushed him off the edge. He could no longer contain his anger.He threw his walking stick at Cheryl and bellowed, "What's the matter? Am I too old to be giving you orders? You kept mentioning knowing one's place. Then, you should know that you're not the only granddaughter in this family! If you're so ungrateful, then get out of the Stone family!"Cheryl was hit in the forehead by the walking stick that was thrown at her. Her head swelled up instantly! She held her forehead in pain while tears welled up in her widened eyes. Sherah was terrified by that sight. Once she came to her senses, she quickly rushed to Cheryl. With a forced smile, she said to Reginald, "Do

Somebody took the lead and jeered, "There will always be a world of difference if we compare two people to each other. Mr. Abbott is someone who has dined with King Pendragon. Some people, on the other hand, are homeless losers who lack any sort of self-awareness!""What's the use of saying all this to him? He's such a lowlife, he probably hasn't even heard of King Pendragon before!""Hahahaha."Celena wanted to stay out of trouble, so she kept her head down in silence. In her heart, she had always believed that Liam was not a loser and that he would eventually shine one day.Cheryl was also looking so full of herself. With the swollen bump on her forehead, she said with pride, "That's right! Unlike a certain someone, I have a keen eye when I choose my man." Liam had planned to ignore these people, but they were getting increasingly out of hand. He could not hold it in and asked, "Oh? Since when have I dined with Mr. Abbott in Macclesfield? Who is your father? Why don't I have th
