Celena sat up in bed, leaning against the headboard as she wiped the tears on her face. Her eyes were reddened as she looked at Liam and said seriously, "Liam, you said you want to let Jovie and me have a good life, and I believe you. "But if you want to live together with us, can you work harder and be more ambitious? Don't just talk about it. Do something. Show my parents that the man I married is not a loser instead of acting like how you did today every time."Liam looked at Celena as she kept wiping her tears in bed, and he said nothing else. He only responded seriously, "Mmhmm. I promise I'll keep my word."Celena nodded and said nothing else.She was discharged from the hospital and returned home that day. She spent a few more days recuperating at home, and Sherah came to the cottage every day.Sherah kept trying to talk Celena into divorcing Liam soon and sang praises about how amazing Mr. Miller was.At first, Celena would explain to Sherah that Liam would work hard in
Yankel was walking in the forefront. He suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around to look at Sunniva with a wicked look, and said, "My dear sister, as your brother, I have to give you a friendly reminder that there's a very important dinner tonight. As the deputy manager of the company, you need to attend."Sunniva was filled with suspicions upon hearing that. She looked at Yankel with a frosty gaze and questioned icily, "What dinner? Why didn't I receive a notice in advance?"Yankel smiled and said, "Don't make it sound like you're questioning me. Dad is the one who sets up the dinner. The young man is from the Norris family. You should know very well that Mr. Jack Norris is very interested in you. That's why Dad arranged for you to attend the dinner tonight. Do you want to go against Dad's wishes?"Hearing that, Sunniva furrowed her eyebrows tightly. Her expression became a little ugly. She kept looking at Yankel's face, but she did not notice anything. Having no choice, she a
Yankel's subordinates were furious as they glared at Liam after he regained his senses. They bellowed, "How dare you! Who the hell of you think you are, Liam? How dare you punch Mr. Bristow?""That's right! You're just the bodyguard for Ms. Bristow. Who do you think you are? How dare you offend someone who has a higher rank than you?""Liam, hurry up and apologize to Mr. Bristow on your knees now. Otherwise, you'll get it from me!"Liam looked at the subordinates by Yankel's side who were barking at him with a cold gaze. Then, he sneered and said, "Wasn't he the one who asked me to hit him? Since he asked for it, I let him have it."As he said that, Liam walked up to Yankel, standing three steps away from him, looking at him icily as he covered his nose. Then, he said in a frosty tone, "Yankel, I'm warning you. Don't get any ideas that you shouldn't be having. I'll make you pay if you dare to lay your finger on my wife and child!"The excruciating pain on Yankel's nose made him ga
Sunniva furrowed her brows. She naturally agreed with Liam, but at the thought of what Yankel said, her head started to hurt."We can't just not go. If I could cancel it, I wouldn't be feeling so conflicted. The Norris family and the Bristow family go a long way back. We were always partners. Besides, this time, it's the Norris family coming to Drunham City. If I don't go, I don't know how to answer to my father and the Norris family."Sunniva furrowed her brows and bit her lips, looking rather conflicted. This made her already beautiful face look even more tender and gentle. However, Liam had his eyes closed all this while. He did not even look at Sunniva. After hearing how helpless she sounded, he thought for a while before calmly replying, "Since you can't cancel it, I'll come with you tonight."Sunniva instantly smiled and said, "Alright."Then, she secretly snuck a glance at Liam's profile. She did not know why but she always felt safe whenever Liam was by her side. It was a
After Liam saw the two of them, he smiled brightly. His smile was different than usual. It was filled with bliss and tenderness.He took the little girl from the lady and placed her in his arms. He dotingly kissed the little girl on the cheeks. He even made her laugh. The lady next to Liam also smiled gently.So, this woman was Celena from the Stone family? Liam's wife? She did indeed look pretty.Sunniva's mind was already running wild, to begin with. When she saw Celena, jealousy rose within her.Liam picked Jovie up from Celena's arms and kissed Jovie on the cheeks affectionately at the entrance of the Stone Mansion. His beard tickled Jovie and made her laugh.When Celena came out, she noticed the expensive car. Naturally, she also saw the extremely pretty lady in the backseat. If she was not wrong, Liam came out from the backseat too. Before he got out, he even said something to the lady and she laughed.How did Liam know this rich young lady?Could Liam be?At that thought
Celena sneered and said coldly, "Hmph, Ms. Bristow treats you well. She's even willing to give you two years' worth of salary in advance just like that. You just started not long ago, right? Yet she agreed to it already?"She did not even give Liam a chance to speak. She turned around and headed back to the cottage with Jovie in her arms.Liam was completely stunned. He stood there in a daze. Even if he was quite dense, he could feel that Celena was angry. However, he could not understand why she was angry. Liam stood by the entrance to the cottage. He did not know whether to enter or not. Just when he was conflicted, Calum's car stopped right by the entrance.Calum got out of the car and walked over to Liam before saying, "Sir, there's news about the Four Ancient Families."Liam frowned. His eyes gleamed coldly. He said, "Tell me, what did you find out!"Calum replied, "Yes, sir. From the intel that we received, the Four Ancient Families run back a few hundred years in Biskelan
"Calum, let me ask you something. Do you understand women?" Calum was just about to leave when Liam suddenly asked him.Calum stopped so suddenly in his tracks that he almost fell!"What?" Calum was rather stunned and confused. After he met Liam's serious gaze, he felt a little embarrassed. He said with a smile, "Stop teasing me, sir. I've lived for more than thirty years, but I've never held a woman's hand before. Aren't you just trying to make things difficult for me by asking me this?"Calum had a hint of mischief in his eyes. He asked, "Ahem, uh, sir, did you fight with your wife? Although I've never held a woman's hand before, I've watched a lot of TV and read a lot of novels."When a woman gets angry, you'll have to tend to them. If not, you'll get in trouble. This is what happens every time on TV. I'm sure you know those types of TV series."I mean if I have to say something, if your wife's angry, just coax her and cheer her up. Buy her a purse or some jewelry. Best if yo
Liam pinched Jovie's cheeks and said with a smile, "Jovie, could you do something for me?"…After Celena left home, she quickly rushed to the office.Reginald and the executives of the Stone family, Yafe and Cheryl included, were in the meeting room at that moment.Everyone was there for quite a while. When they saw Celena arriving late, they could not help but glare at her and softly grumble to themselves. Celena knew that she was late. She smiled apologetically at them and apologized before sitting in a seat by the corner.Reginald sat on the head of the table, and he scanned the meeting room. After he saw that everyone arrived, he said, "Everyone, I call this sudden meeting because the general manager of the Bristow Group will be coming in a while to strike a deal with the Stone family. "I believe that all of you have heard of the Bristow Group. They belong to the Bristow family from the state. It would be a great deal for the Stone family if we could have a collaboration
