Things were different at that moment. Liam was nothing more than a loser, while Zachary was the heir to the Zelma family. Everything had changed from the past, and Zachary was going to humiliate this useless piece of trash properly."Do you need something?" Liam asked as he looked at him with a frosty gaze.Zachary crossed his arms and surveyed Liam provocatively while walking around him. He tutted and ridiculed, "Nothing much. I'm just feeling sentimental about the ups and downs of life. The once almighty Mr. Cole has now become a homeless loser! Throwing away the dignity of a man and marrying into the Stone family all just to survive. It must be so hard to be in your position, even having to hesitate and think before buying anything."Zachary raised his eyebrows and continued, "This is a Zelma family-owned business. How about this? You kneel before me and beg, then I will give you everything you are buying today for free! What about it? Isn't that worth it? Things are not cheap he
At the sight of Liam daring to contradict him, Zachary turned upset and barked, "Liam! What have you got to be so arrogant about? Do you really think you are still the important heir to the Cole family of the past? What have you got to compare yourself to me? Listen up, you better come and kneel before me now! Or else, I won't be able to guarantee that the little bastard child in your arms can leave with all her limbs intact!"Liam's biggest weaknesses were Celena and Jovie. What Zachary was doing now was undoubtedly digging his own grave. Anger filled Liam's eyes, and he got more and more upset.What he hated the most was being threatened, especially when it came to threatening him with Jovie's safety."Zachary, if you don't want to die, then you better kneel and own up to what you just did. Or else, I will ensure the destruction of the Zelma family that you take so much pride in," Liam said in a frosty tone.However, when Liam threatened him as if he meant it, Zachary did not fli
Liam ignored Zachary. He carried Jovie in one hand and held a wooden stick that came out of nowhere with the other hand. He lowered his head and said to Jovie gently, "Jovie, be a good girl and close your eyes. I will play a game with you! If you win, then I will buy you cakes! But, you're not allowed to open your eyes, or else there will be no reward for you!"At the mention of food, Jovie was no longer scared. She held onto Liam's neck obediently, closed her eyes, and agreed, "Dad, I got it! I want cake!"Liam's actions had completely enraged Zachary. Liam actually dared to be so stubborn.Zachary pointed at Liam angrily and yelled, "Go! All of you, go! Kill him! Fuck you, how dare you still pretend like you're something!" In that instant, all the fighters surrounding them attacked with vicious expressions. They raised their weapons and bellowed as they ran toward Liam.Liam stood in the center of the crowd, his frightening force of murderous intent rising. As the fighters ru
Zachary was stunned silly. He dumbfoundedly squatted on the floor with his head in his arms. His whole body was quivering. Only the sound of the soldiers reporting could be heard. "Reporting! Team One, crowd control, mission completed!""Reporting! Team Two, crowd control, mission completed!" "Reporting! Team Three, crowd control, mission completed!" The sound of them reporting pulled Zachary back to reality, and he looked at all the armed soldiers frightfully. Fuck! What the fuck was going on? Was this a military drill? Why were there suddenly so many armed soldiers?Then, under the frightful eye of Zachary and his men, a man stood in front of all the soldiers. This man was presumably their captain. He was also donning a black combat suit. He walked toward Liam and gave him a salute. "Reporting to Mr. Cole, the situation is under control, awaiting your orders, sir!" Fuck! What did Zachary and his men just witness? What did they just hear?Zachary's eyes were about to po
However, the reply that Zachary got was…The captain immediately gave Zachary a hard kick and ordered, "Take them away!"Zachary was being held down as he looked at Liam's back. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Liam! I won't let you get away with this! Not even when I'm dead!" However, to no avail, Liam's silhouette was getting further and further. Half an hour after Liam had left the furniture store, another earth-shattering incident happened in Drunham City.The police chief of Drunham City had personally led a team to seize the furniture conglomerate, the Zelma family's mansion.It was in collaboration with the military.The incident stirred up a storm in Drunham City. Everyone was discussing which powerful giant the Zelma family offended to be struck by such misfortunes.When Liam had returned to the Stone mansion with Jovie, Celena eagerly rushed out. She pulled Liam and checked him all over again and again."Liam, what took you so long? I was worried sick! Did
Cheryl strutted in her high heels and slid into Wasyl's sleek sports car, peeling away from the curb with an air of superiority.Qemal, with a stoic expression, slipped into his car. He was silent as a ghost and took off down the road.Sawyer, with Anna in tow, climbed into his vehicle. As he rolled down the window, he shot a look of pure disdain at Celena, who was burdened with an armful of paperwork. "Celena, make sure you handle that. Tidy up those documents and shoot me a copy, will you? I've got drinks lined up with some buddies, so we're off," he said calmly.With those parting words, he zoomed off, leaving Celena to wrestle with her mountain of papers as she trudged toward the bus stop.Back in Wasyl's car, Cheryl lounged in the passenger seat. Wasyl's hand crept up her smooth thigh. Seizing a moment at the red light, he leaned in for a few quick kisses and asked with a grin, "Dear, you seem upset. What's eating you?"Cheryl shoved his hand away, visibly irked. "It's Celena
"Kolten," Liam said, his tone composed and detached, barely acknowledging the receptionist. His request seemed to take her aback, but she quickly regained her professional poise. "I apologize, do you have an appointment?"Liam shook his head.The receptionist mentally lumped him with the dreamers from small-time companies who sought an audience with Kolten, hoping for a partnership. She could not help but feel a touch of scorn, though her smile remained impeccable. "I'm sorry, sir! Mr. Reath is currently in a meeting. Without an appointment, I'm afraid he's unavailable to meet guests."Liam's displeasure was evident as he frowned. Unfazed, he said, "If he's in a meeting, then please call him. Tell him Liam is here to see him."The receptionist, usually the epitome of patience, was at her wit's end with the man before her. Anyone else might have snapped, calling security to escort the nuisance out. However, her training with Jerden Group kicked in, and she managed to stay composed,
Liam's brow furrowed as he heard Yale's biting words. Calum, standing behind him, lost his composure and barked, "Out of line?! You think you can talk to my boss like that? Try me, and I'll turn this place upside down!"Yale did not even blink, a smirk playing on his lips. He regarded Calum as if he were a fool, thinking to himself, 'This guy thinks he can take us on? Dreaming of a sit-down with our chairman? He's delusional if he thinks he's anything but trash.'"Ha, you've got some nerve! You think a few tough words are going to scare me? Look around, this is the Jerden Group, not some playground for your antics! You think you can just come in here and tear the place down? This is the renowned Jerden Group of Willoughby!" Yale mocked as he shot a challenging look at Calum, then turned to Liam with a sneer. "What's this? Does a guy like you have followers now? That's a surprise. Do you really believe having a sidekick by your side means you can waltz in to see our chairman?" Cal
