Tears streamed down Liam's face as he listened to Celena talk in her sleep. He leaned against the edge of the bed, burying his face next to Celena's hand in great sorrow.He kept promising her over and over again, saying, "I'm sorry that I am the reason you got hurt again, Celena. I promise I won't let anybody harm you again from now on. I want to let you live as you please. I'll get you whatever you want, even if you want the whole world."Liam remained sitting next to the bed while holding her hands and looking at her.It had been seven years since he took a proper look at her. The first time he saw her was at the wedding, where their nightmares had started.Clora was a woman Liam had loved for years. He had wanted to give her all he had in the past.At that time, both of them were from the top families in Drunham City. Both of them had grown up together as well. Everybody thought they were a match made in heaven. They had gotten along very well too. They were practically join

Yafe did not mind that at all.After that, Malcolm and Logan were ushered to the main table by the subordinate and took their seats.Logan humbly let Malcolm take the center seat while he sat on his right.At that moment, many from the high society of Drunham City were abuzz."Have you heard? The Walkers were destroyed by a mysterious man last night.""Are you only learning that now? I went to have a look last night. The Walkers' bodyguards were all dead. The floor was covered in blood. The place just looks…""That's terrible. The Walkers had stood strong in Drunham City for years. The person who could eliminate them overnight must be something else!"Logan heard the discussion as he sat next to Malcolm. There was a glint in his eyes that only appeared briefly.Before he could ask, the others sitting at their table could not help but beat him to the punch. "Mr. Lynch! What happened to the Walkers? They were actually wiped out overnight. I heard the mysterious person is from the

Before Reginald or Yafe could even say anything, Cheryl snapped, "You're a useless piece of shit! Both your parents are dead, and the Cole family is nothing. Do you think that being with that bitch Celena is going to change your fate somehow? Do you think being with her will automatically allow you to join our clan? In your dreams! Not even Celena herself is welcome in this family!" In Cheryl's opinion, her union with the Hughes would only serve to consolidate their status, which was why Celena and Liam were so desperate to be accepted into the family once more. They simply wanted a piece of the pie! She had gone to so much trouble to get Celena banished, so she could not allow her efforts to go in vain no matter what! When Cheryl and the Walkers plotted to get rid of Liam, they had intended to use any random woman as bait. However, it was Cheryl who pitched the idea of luring Celena into Liam's room that night since she figured that sleeping with the heiress of the Stone family wo

Everyone's attention was immediately on the black box. Calum whipped away the black cloth, revealing the two urns sitting within it. They were matte black with writings carved in gold on the side. The golden carving caught the reflection of the light glinting off them. Everyone was so intrigued by this that no one uttered a single word. Even Cheryl was in absolute disbelief. It was supposed to be a joyous occasion celebrating Cheryl and Patrick's engagement, so it was no doubt very odd for Liam to bring two urns here. Everyone's gaze landed on the writing, which read, [In loving memory of Chester Cole and Sadie Chanter.] It was the ashes of Liam's parents! No one could believe their eyes. Liam had brought the ashes of his deceased parents to the most luxurious engagement party in the city! He had placed his deceased parents' ashes right on the table in front of the Hughes and other elite members of society! How outrageous! He was outright trying to show the Stones up! "Th

Cheryl was so frightened that she instinctively took a few steps backward. She could not believe how much Liam had changed from what she remembered a few years ago! She had to admit she was rather terrified of him now. "Liam Cole, you're just an orphan! How dare you even attempt to compare yourself to us Stones?" Yafe snarled. "Yafe Stone, you made my parents beg you for mercy. Now, you will get on your knees in front of my parents' ashes and show your remorse for your crime!" Yafe sneered and glanced at the urns with disdain. "Me? Get on my knees? Who do you even think you are? Why do you even think I'd do something like this for these dead people? You're just a leftover scum that somehow survived all these years, so what right do you have to tell me what to do?" Liam was utterly infuriated by Yafe's condescending tone and the way he spoke about his deceased parents like they were simply corpses. His gaze turned into one filled with white-hot rage and menace, which scared Yafe
