The sergeant's expression was dark. Without warning, he turned around and slapped Wasyl across his face, then glared at him and snarled, "Shut the f*ck up! You useless b*stard! What the hell are you talking about? Fake invitations? The one Mr. Cole has is a special invitation reserved for VIPs, and all the other blank ones are regular ones. If anything, his invitation is even more superior and exclusive than yours! How dare you accuse him of possessing a fake one?"What?Everyone was stunned to hear this. They were all expecting Liam to be punished even harder after the sergeant made his report to his superior, but not only did that not happen, but it turned out Liam's invitation was even more superior than everyone else's!Wasyl was stunned. He stared in puzzlement at the sergeant, unable to wrap his head around this news. Finally, he croaked, "That's impossible! Are you sure that's correct, Sergeant? Liam Cole is a scumbag with nothing to his name, so how could he possibly have go

After toasting, Malcolm gazed down at the audience before him, but his gaze landed on Liam, who was sitting in a corner of the room with Celena and Jovie. "I'm sure everyone knows this by now, but today we have a very important guest joining us!"Everyone's attention was immediately on Malcolm when he said this. This was the moment they waited for—the reveal of the legendary King Pendragon, the youngest commander-in-chief in the entire history of the Pendragon Warriors!"Let's give a round of applause for our legendary King Pendragon!" Malcolm deliberately paused for a moment, then added, "Surprise, but the truth is, the King Pendragon himself has been sitting amongst us all this while. He's none other than."Everyone's breaths caught in their throat as they gazed expectantly at the stage, waiting for King Pendragon to reveal his true identity!One of the young socialites blushed and cupped her cheek meekly. "I wonder what the King Pendragon looks like. I think he must be a young,

Teresa was also infuriated by Sherah's statement. She stood up and declared, "Dad, how about my darling Anna? She's also proven herself to be a perfectly capable leader!"Everyone began to quarrel amongst each other about who should have been the right person for the job, and in a split second, the entire meeting room erupted into a flurry of activity. Reginald felt as though his head was about the burst, and he smacked his palm against the table to assert his authority."Thud!""That's enough! I'm still alive and kicking, and I'm the head of the family! Who do you all think you are?"Reginald hated it when his children and grandchildren fought among themselves. The Stones were a powerful family that could trace their roots back centuries—not a family who rose to power by chance, and their success lay in their strict foundation of hierarchy and authority. Everyone would have to revert to the head of the family's decision, instead of squabbling among themselves like commoners. Eve

A determined look crossed Celena's face at this realization. She squeezed Liam's hand in appreciation and took a deep breath before stepping forward and gazing at Reginald. "Grandpa, I don't agree with your decision to hand the project over to Cheryl! I was the one who obtained this opportunity in the first place—Max Group chose me because they believed in me! Therefore, you shouldn't put Cheryl in charge of this project. I demand to be included as well!"When they heard this, both Teresa and Samatha, Sawyer's mother, piped up unanimously, "Anna should be involved in this as well!""I think Sawyer deserves a chance too!"Cheryl's face was twisted in an angry grimace. She stomped over to Celena, her heels click-clacking furiously on the ground, and pointed at her rudely as she snarled, "You don't agree with Grandpa's decision? Have you gone crazy? You know nothing about business, so how can you even ask to be included in this project? Are you planning to ruin everything?""I can lea

"Really?" Celena lifted her head to stare at Liam in disbelief. Liam was momentarily stunned by how beautiful she looked at that moment.He did not reply to her instantly and instead gently pressed a kiss on her rosy lips. Then, he smiled and said, "Of course! I'd never lie to you!"The scent of Liam's perfume lingered around her, and before Celena could even realize what was happening, Liam already kissed her. In an instant, all her worries and shame were forgotten, and instead, all she could think of was Liam's kiss. Her face flushed red and she stammered, "You- you-"Liam could not help but feel even more mesmerized by her when he saw how much she was blushing. He chuckled, and his laughter echoed through the empty room. Celena lifted her head to meet his gaze. The sunlight peeked in between the cracks of the curtains and just so happened to land on Liam's chiseled face, basking him in a warm glow. He was staring at her with a tender look.Celena snuggled even closer to Liam a
