Cindy glanced at the crowd, then at the freshly arrived Celena, who just stepped out of the car. With a hint of hesitation in her voice, she whispered, "Ms. Stone, do you think we'll get to see Mr. Black? The whole town's been buzzing about it. Every big shot and blue blood in Drunham City has been lining up for a chance to meet him, but nobody's cracked it yet. What about us?"Cradling the documents she prepared, Celena eyed the throng gathered at the Sunflower Hotel's entrance. She was not sure what to expect either. Taking a deep breath, she offered Cindy a reassuring smile. "Cindy, don't worry about the rest. If we don't even have the guts to give it a shot, what's the point? Even if we strike out, at least we gave it our all."Cindy drew in a deep breath, her fists tightening as she steeled herself. "Got it! Ms. Stone, I'm on board."While they talked, Celena gave the papers and Cindy's gift box a once-over. Everything looked good. They then made their way to the hotel.Just t

Cindy glared at Cheryl, her eyes rolling so hard they could have touched the sky.Spoiled rich girls like Cheryl, prancing around like they're the queen of the world, were revolting!Cheryl and Yafe were both taken aback when they heard that, staring at Celena with shock written all over their faces. They blurted out together, "What are you talking about? Celena, you've got your own company?"Yafe caught on in a flash, his face twisting with rage as he glared daggers at Celena and hissed, "Well, look at you, Celena! That explains the new attitude, thinking you can just walk away from the Stone family. You've been busy setting up your gig, trying to poach our clients, right?"So, you're here to cozy up to Mr. Black for a deal too, I see. Pfft! Take a good look at yourself. You start a little company, and so what? For a major deal like this, who's going to gamble on a greenhorn outfit like yours?"Cheryl's face darkened as she fixed Celena with a piercing stare, her laughter sharp a

Cheryl was beside herself with rage, stamping her foot and pointing after Celena. "Dad, can you believe her? Celena's got some nerve, treating us with such disdain!"Yafe's face was a storm of emotions, his skin shifting from pale to red in his anger. He glared at Celena's back, his eyes burning with fury. After a moment of thought, he spoke with an icy edge, "That's enough! Remember, we're in public, and everything we do reflects on the Stone family. Let's focus on meeting with Mr. Black about the partnership. The rest can wait."As for Celena, let her try her luck. I'm curious to see who would risk partnering with a newbie, with a company that's barely off the ground, like some tiny backyard operation. She'll learn the hard way that it's not as easy as she thinks."Yafe's fist tightened as he spoke, his eyes narrowing into slits as he watched Celena's back with a malicious gaze. "I can't wait to see her fall flat on her face. She'll come crawling back to me eventually."Cheryl ca

Chapter 2004

Ever since Celena came back to the Stone family, she threw herself into the family business, tirelessly working her fingers to the bone. She always put the Stone family first, often at the expense of her relationship with Liam.Celena felt the sting of the Stone family's cold treatment, especially with Yafe and Cheryl's biting words still echoing in her ears, sparking a fire of anger within her. However, she knew better than to let her temper show, that would only egg them on. The best way to handle their kind was to simply ignore them.Seeing Cindy stand up for her, though, warmed Celena's heart. She could not help but smile at Cindy's feisty demeanor. "Let it go," Celena advised gently. "We're here to see Mr. Black about a potential partnership, not to get into a spat that could spoil his impression of us."Cindy's fury cooled a bit with Celena's words, and her eyes shone with even greater respect. She gazed at Celena with the wide-eyed admiration of a true fan. "Wow, Ms. Stone, y

Chapter 2005

With those words, Yafe and his entourage strutted past, slicing through the crowd like they owned the place, and handed their golden tickets to the bouncers.The bouncers barely glanced at the invites before stepping aside, ushering Yafe and the others through.The onlookers could not hide their envy as they watched the select few disappear inside.Cheryl soaked up the attention, standing at the doorway with her nose in the air, as regal and proud as any showy peacock.When grumbles rose from the crowd, questioning their right to enter, Cheryl did not miss a beat. "Why do we get to go in? Simple. We've got the golden invites, and you don't. Better luck next time," she taunted.With a final, defiant look at Celena, Cheryl spun on her heel and vanished into the hotel's embrace.Her words stung the crowd, leaving them simmering with resentment as they watched helplessly.Then Cheryl and Yafe were inside, living it up, while the rest could not even get past the front door.Cindy, f

"Honey?"Celena was taken aback to see Liam there, her face a picture of astonishment. "What brings you here?"Liam grinned. "Just looking out for you. Didn't want some rabid dog to take a bite.""Who are you calling rabid?"Cheryl's face went red with rage, her glare scorching as she raised her voice at Liam.Unruffled, Liam replied calmly, "If the shoe fits what was that you said? My wife can't get through the hotel doors?"Cheryl let out a derisive snort, her gaze dripping with scorn as she sneered at Celena. "Seriously? Do you think you can rub shoulders with Mr. Black just because Celena's got a little start-up? You think that puts you in Drunham City's high society?"She laughed mockingly. "You're a joke! Without the Stone family, you're less than nothing. What makes you think you can come here and shout at me?"Liam's face was a mask of calm as he retorted, "We'll see about that. If you're so sure, let's bet on whether my wife can walk into that hotel and walk out with M

The man in black surveyed the crowd, obviously on the lookout for someone. In a thick accent, he called out, "Excuse me, is Miss Celena around? Could you step out for a second, thanks!"Celena was so taken aback she froze, but Cindy was quick on the draw, waving her hand high. "Over here! You're looking for Ms. Stone, right? She's with us!"The man in black beelined to them, all apologies on his face. "Ms. Stone, so sorry for the hold-up, got tied up and ran a bit late."Celena, still reeling, just bobbed her head and managed a flustered, "Uh? Oh, no worries at all."With a warm smile, the attendant nodded and gestured for her to enter. "Ms. Stone, right this way, please. Our CEO has been eagerly awaiting your arrival."The room went silent for a heartbeat, then a collective gasp rippled through the crowd as they stared at Celena and the foreign staff member in utter astonishment.Among the onlookers were the patriarchs of Drunham City's elite families and top business moguls, al

The staff member gave a firm nod and said, "Yes, Ms. Stone, you're the one. Our CEO is upstairs waiting for you. I'll escort you to him now."Celena was still reeling, turning to Liam with wide eyes, "Honey, what's happening?"Liam just smiled, gave a reassuring nod, and took the crumpled water bottle from Celena's grasp, nudging her gently forward.Cindy was beside herself with excitement, giving Celena's arm a quick tug. "Come on, Ms. Stone, let's not keep Mr. Black waiting. He's up there waiting just for you."As she spoke, Cindy cast a smug look over at Cheryl and Yafe, a clear echo of Cheryl's earlier show-offy taunts.Her eyes all but spelled it out: 'You might have waltzed in with an invite, but my boss? She's got the VIP treatment with a personal summons.'Cindy's jab hit a nerve, leaving Cheryl and Yafe seething, their faces contorting with anger.Cheryl was practically grinding her teeth, her face turning a sickly shade of green as she watched Celena stride into the ho

Chapter 2009

Boom!The news hit like a bombshell, sending shockwaves through the crowd.Eyes wide with shock, everyone stared at the contract in Celena's hands, unable to believe what they were seeing. Yafe and Cheryl were particularly stunned, their disbelief written all over their faces as they exclaimed, "That's ridiculous! How on earth did you land this deal?"Cheryl's face turned an ugly shade as she pointed at Celena, her voice rising in anger, "You're lying, Celena, you have to be lying."With a grin, Celena waved the contract at her and said, "I haven't said a word, Cheryl. I really did it, this is the contract I've just signed with Mr. Black!"Celena's face was alight with excitement, and even she could not quite believe that was all happening.Liam chuckled and affectionately ruffled Celena's hair, "Well, of course. My wife is incredible, snagging this deal is just par for the course."Tears welled up in Celena's eyes as she listened to Liam, her heart swelling with emotion. With

Cheryl froze at the suggestion, her response automatic and skeptical, "That's absurd! Liam's not the big shot at Pendragon anymore. He's not even a blip on the official radar, definitely rubbing some VIPs the wrong way. How could he possibly-"The more Cheryl mulled it over, the less sense it made. She pressed on, "Dad, remember, Mr. Black's an international player with the Wendell Family's muscle behind him. Liam's just Joe Average now. Even if he still called the shots at Pendragon, there's no way they'd just hand Celena the deal!"Cheryl's gaze swept over Drunham City's elite entrepreneurs fawning over Celena, and it nearly sent her through the roof!Those admiring glances should have been hers. What gave Celena the right to snatch what was hers?After her outburst, Cheryl awaited Yafe's response, but silence hung in the air. Turning to him, she caught Yafe's icy stare locked on Celena, soon melting into a smile that hinted at deeper schemes.Cheryl's face twisted in annoyance
