"Where's everybody? What's everyone doing? Why is it so quiet today?"Right at that moment, a man's deep and icy voice could be heard coming from downstairs. It was then followed by the thumping of leather shots that were drawing near.Leonie's expression changed drastically after she heard that voice. As if she suffered an outrageous indignation, she cried and ran toward the man, shouting, "Mr. Warren, you're finally here! These two people refused to leave. They have been making a scene at our shop, and they even slapped me."The other saleswomen straightened their backs once they heard the man's voice. Then, they called out respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Warren."Soon, a heavy middle-aged man in a black suit walked over with his bulging belly, looking frosty.Larry Warren, the manager of Blissful Bride Boutique, frowned upon hearing Leonie's words. His voice was frosty as he asked, "What the hell is going on? Who would have the guts to make a scene at our shop?"Leonie tugged at Lar

Perhaps Liam was too cold, perhaps it was because he was staring at Larry with his sharp gaze, Larry felt a shiver running down his spine.Larry was embarrassed as soon as he had that feeling, so he quickly sneered to cover up his strange expression."Enough with the nonsense, kid. Of course, I want you to apologize. What do you take our shop for? You guys don't dress like you have money. You probably can't afford our wedding dress, can you? "I'm not going to go after you. It will all be fine as long as you apologize properly and compensate Leonie for the medical expenses. Otherwise, I'll have security break your legs and throw you out."Larry's lips were curled. He was incredibly cocky as he said those words. He looked as if Liam should be grateful that he was not going to go after them.Liam's face was frosty after he heard those words. In a frosty tone, he said, "Hmph! It seems that Blissful Bride Boutique is nothing special. It's so surprising that this is how you treat your

Eaden scowled at this and shot Samuel a murderous glare before snapping, "Shut your mouth! Why would you think the wedding dresses are for me? I'm here for Mr. Cole's orders. I received a call from him just now with orders to prepare a million dollars and bring them to your store. Judging by his tone, I'm certain that one of your idiotic employees must've offended him. Do you have any idea the consequences of offending someone as important as Mr. Cole? You better shut your mouth before you say something worse!"Eaden was already one of the most feared people in the city, but his demeanor was made even more intimidating by the scowl on his face and his cold, merciless tone. Samuel was so unnerved by this that he shuddered and broke out into cold sweats, which he gingerly wiped from his forehead, wondering what had gone wrong. Judging by the wary look on Eaden's face, it was no doubt Eaden was telling the truth, so Samuel asked tentatively, "Mr. Wafer, what happened? Who is this Mr. C

At his first command, the guards all raised their batons, preparing to lunge toward Liam at any second. All of a sudden, a furious roar sounded behind them, "Stop! Nobody moves a muscle!"The guards all froze and turned around. Even Larry and the salesgirls did the same. The moment they turned around, they came face-to-face with an alarmed-looking Samuel, who was sprinting over toward them as fast as his legs could carry him.Larry and the salesgirls were all stunned to see him and exchanged nervous glances. However, a moment later, Larry plastered a simpering smile on his face and approached Samuel, bowing and curtsying as low as he could go. "Mr. Lene, what brings you here today? Have you caught wind of what's happening here? I must apologize, Mr. Lene, for the inconvenience caused, but I have gotten the situation under control now! My guards are just about to toss these people out!"With that, he turned to the shell-shocked guards and barked, "What are you waiting for? Are you

Before Celena could even finish her sentence, however, Liam scoffed, then stepped forward to shield Celena behind him and said curtly to Samuel, "Mr. Lene, there is one very big problem we are facing here. Your manager, Mr. Warren, first insulted my wife, then offended me when I tried to reason with them. When our argument escalated, they even threatened to get security and toss us out of your store! What do you think we should do about this, Mr. Lene?"The color drained from Samuel's face upon hearing this. Larry and the salesgirls noticed this but naively thought that his annoyance was a result of Liam's continued arrogance. Unbeknownst to them, Samuel's frown was actually an expression of deep concentration as he contemplated what to do to quell Liam's anger.Larry, stupidly thinking that Liam had struck a nerve in Samuel by launching this request, immediately shoved aside the guard standing in front of him and stormed out, screeching, "Outrageous! You are crossing a line here, yo
