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
One of Trent's men shouted at the top of his lungs, "Come on, guys. Let's go!"With that, all of them rushed up to Liam together. One by one, Liam sent them flying immediately after. Soon, they were all knocked out on the floor.Trent was hiding in a corner as he watched how aggressive of a fighter Liam was. He got so scared that kept swallowing his saliva. Beads of sweat on his forehead kept rolling down his face.He had at least a dozen underlings, but in just a few minutes, none of them were left standing.Trent hugged his arm and wanted to run away.However, Liam kicked the dagger off the floor and it pierced through Trent's right leg."Ah! Don't! Don't come near me!" Trent held his broken arm and cowered as he lay in his puddle of blood. His right leg just could not stop bleeding.Terror filled Trent's eyes as he watched Liam take one step after another toward him like Death himself.Worried about the condition of Celena's body, Liam walked very slowly while holding her.
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
As much as he hated to admit it, Jonas was intimidated by Liam! However, as terrified as he was, he knew better than to show it to his enemy, so he stood his ground. "Very well then. I'll let her go!" he yelled. With that, his lackeys immediately cleared out a path to allow Celena to pass, but she refused to leave without Liam. Instead, she clung to his arm and sobbed, "No, I won't go! I won't go without you, Liam! Either we leave together, or not at all!" Celena knew that Liam was trying to protect her, and his courage at this moment caused all her vengeance toward him that accumulated over the years to disappear! "Listen to me, Celena. Jovie's still under treatment and needs you. Please go check on Jovie now. My men are waiting for you downstairs, and they'll bring you to Jovie! Please. With you here, I'll become distracted and won't be able to do well. Trust me; I can handle this on my own!" Liam tried to reassure her as best as he could. "Don't worry, Celena. I can handle thi
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
"Mr. Walker, are we going to let him escape just like that?" one of Jonas's subordinates asked, but he was met with a slap across the face and a rude beating from Jonas. "You dimwit, are you going to chase that devil down? What kind of fate do you think you'll suffer after what happened just now? Use your brain!" Jonas was growing more and more furious by the minute. He could not believe that Liam could still escape despite being outnumbered so severely! The Walkers were the most notorious warriors in Drunham City, so he could not swallow this defeat at all! Jonas was convinced that the two men by Liam's side were secret warriors who descended from a powerful martial arts family. This was the only explanation for how incredibly agile yet rogue they were! "Send me home! I need to see Morgan immediately!" Jonas ordered his subordinates. Meanwhile, Celena staggered out of the jeep which pulled up at Jade Manor. She sprinted into the bedroom, her bleeding wound leaving a trail of
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
After a brief moment's contemplation, Celena quickly changed her clothes and stormed out of her room, ignoring Calum's resistance and instead saying, "I can't stop worrying about Liam. Don't try to stop me. Just promise me you'll stay here and keep an eye on Jovie. I'll be back soon! If Liam comes back, just tell him to take good care of Jovie, and tell him that I don't hate him!" With that, she hailed a taxi and told the driver, "Sir, please bring me to Stone Mansion in the Uptown Area!" Celena knew just how much power the Walkers held over the entire Drunham City. Seven years ago she had already witnessed just how malicious the Walkers were capable of being, and now that seven years had passed and the Walkers were even more powerful than ever, Celena knew she had no choice but to seek refuge from the Stones. Although the Stones were technically a smaller family than the Walkers, and she was banished from the family seven years ago, Celena had to give it a try despite the minusc
