"That's negotiable as long as you're obedient," said Trent.At a wave of his hand, Tripp and the others let go of Camilla and stepped aside.Celena rushed over to help Camilla up and said with great sorrow, "I'm sorry, Camilla. I'm sorry! It's all my fault."Camilla leaned against Celena as she was weak. Her clothes had been ripped into pieces.She wiped the blood off the corner of her lip and said, "It's not your fault. I've been working here for years. I'll just treat it like I've been bitten by a dog."Camilla felt resentful, but it was not toward Celena. She did not regret helping Celena. Trent was the only person she hated because he was the culprit.Just as Celena said, Trent was a man who ruthlessly harmed Jovie who was just a child. What else could he not do?Trent had a faint smile as he looked at Celena and Camilla. He said, "Celena, finish all the drinks on the table, and I'll consider letting her go."Hearing that, Celena walked up to the table in big strides, picke

Celena was struggling, but Liam hugged her tighter. He smiled as he looked at her and comforted her, "Don't worry. Jovie's fine. I've had my men pick her up. She's being treated now."Tears rolled down Celena's cheeks again when she heard that Jovie was fine. She finally felt a heavy weight lifted off her chest."Thank goodness! Jovie's fine," Celena sobbed."F*ck, f*ck! Go to hell, all of you!" Trent's fear was taken over by rage once he heard that Liam had taken Jovie away.He tightened his grip around his gun as he pointed it at Liam. He was dying to pull the trigger and kill him.It was all because of this man. If it was not for Liam, Jovie never would have existed. Celena would obediently submit herself to him as well. The more he thought about it, the more furious he got.Right at the moment Trent pulled the trigger, his hand that was holding the gun was snapped in half before he could even react. His gun was snatched away by Liam as well."Ah!" Trent screamed, holding his

Celena started sobbing the moment she felt Liam's arms wrap around her. She wailed, "Run, Liam! Please—I'm begging you! I don't want Jovie to live without a father."All of a sudden, a low voice boomed out from the distance, "You can run but you can't hide! Whoever dares to even lay a finger on my master has to feel my wrath!"At the same time, a dozen vans screeched to a halt outside the Nightwalker Club, and out stepped a team of burly men wielding daggers and baseball bats. A man emerged from among the crowd, dressed in a tailored suit with a cigar between his lips.Celena started trembling at the sight of these men who looked about to beat them up. Despite her intense fear, she tried her best to ignore the excruciating pain shooting through her body and shielded Liam behind her back. She got onto her knees and began pleading for mercy, "Mr. Walker, this is all my fault! If you have to punish someone, you should punish me instead! Liam didn't know better—please show him mercy!"Befo

Liam smirked in full confidence, as though he knew he could triumph over Jonas's army as easily as squashing an ant. Jonas was a little puzzled by this. How could Liam still smile in the face of such adversity? "Jonas, has no one ever taught you not to be too cocky? One day you're going to pay the price for your arrogance! And this advice extends to the rest of your family too!" Liam snarled, his eyes ablaze with fury. Jonas was infuriated by this. He let out a frustrated yowl and tossed his trench coat aside. "You must be stupid or have a dying wish! How do you think you're going to match up against hundreds of my soldiers? Seize him! Whoever kills him first gets a reward from me!" The men surrounding Liam all leaped forward in greed at the mention of such a reward. Liam did not even flinch as he watched three men wielding daggers charge toward him. Before they could even touch him, however, two silhouettes darted in front of Liam, and a powerful force flung the three men into

With Celena's movement, Jovie stirred, and when she saw her mother clutching her like that, she gently squeezed Celena's hand and said feebly, "Don't cry, Mommy! It doesn't hurt anymore!" Celena began to tremble and sob even harder at this. "Jovie, I thought I was never going to see you again! It's all Mommy's fault; I failed to protect you." "Please don't cry, Mommy! I'm so happy that I finally got to see Daddy now! it doesn't hurt anymore, Mommy, so please don't cry." Jovie's face was as pale as a sheet of paper. She was only six years old, but she spoke as if she were a mature adult! Celena felt heartbroken at this. Her precious little daughter! She nodded and replied, "Okay, Jovie. I promise I won't cry anymore. My dear Jovie's the bravest girl I've ever seen! I couldn't be more proud of you!" Jovie glanced around the room and, when she could not find Liam, turned to Celena and asked, "Mommy, where's Daddy? Is Daddy going to leave us again? Why is he leaving us again? I
