The gilded invitations on the table caused the Stone family to shake excitedly. It was the invitation to the Max Group's dinner. Of course, the businesses that were invited were all top-notch. Not to mention, apart from Malcolm's appearance, the legendary King Pendragon would be in attendance as well! Any of the invited guests would be enough to make countless people go crazy, let alone the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors, who would be appearing in person!Obviously, many would kill to have a chance of attending the dinner. What an honor it would be if they could see King Pendragon in person! In the past, this was just a name that had appeared in the news. Nobody had even seen a photo of him before. This made a lot of people wonder if such a legendary man even existed.King Pendragon was a person that everyone worshiped fervently. People would die happy if they could just catch a glimpse of him from afar. Who would have thought that a man like that was actually sit

"What the hell was that? Could I have misheard you? What did you say? Get a truck full of them? Go ahead. Get a truckload of invitations delivered now. Let us all expand our horizons," Sherah sneered and said sarcastically.Sherah almost could not contain her laughter. Celena was with Liam, so the more useless Liam was, the happier Sherah was.Cheryl was in stitches too. She hugged her stomach, wiped the tear at the corner of her eyes, and said, "Haha. That's too hilarious. What was that? Liam, you're really killing us. Do you think you're going to be that powerful just because you say so? Do you know how stupid you look? Both of you are truly a match made in heaven."She was a bitch, and he was a loser, one that loved to talk big and lie at that.After that, Cheryl looked at Celena provokingly and said, "Celena, you have a keen eye. You've got yourself such a good husband. I haven't congratulated you, have I? Congratulations on being with an idiot."Reginald suddenly slammed on t

Celena looked pale when the group of people ridiculed and insulted her.She plucked up the courage to look at everyone and said in a loud voice, "Liam said he can get the invitation, and I believe him. Also, he's not a loser. He's an outstanding man. He's not like what you guys made him out to be. The man I chose is not a useless person."Upon saying that, she held Liam's arm tightly. She was still a little scared and was shaking a little. However, she still held back her fear and looked right at everyone in the dining room with her head held high.The hall fell silent as soon as she said that. Then, they burst out laughing.Their mockery and disdainful expressions made Celena take half a step back in fear. She was still holding Liam's arm tightly. The fear and delicate look in her eyes left Liam incredibly heartbroken.Liam put his other hand over her freezing hands and smiled at her calmly. "Don't be scared. Don't worry. Trust me.""Did I hear that right? Did Celena say that th

During the dinner, Wasyl took the chance and asked, "Grandpa Reg, have the Stones gotten the collaboration deal between Celena and the Max Group?"Reginald was extremely excited at the mention of the collaboration with the Max Group. He smiled and said, "Of course! Celena has nothing to do with it at all. How can she collaborate with the Max Group? At the end of the day, she'll still have to rely on us.""That's great. I have an idea, Grandpa Reg. Both the Abbotts and the Stones have gotten some collaboration deals with the Max Group. Why don't both our families join hands, become partners, and grow together? Wouldn't it be better for us to grow in a win-win situation?" Wasyl suggested with a broad smile.Reginald was very excited after he heard about it. He had the same idea. He just could not find the right time to bring it up to Wasyl.After Wasyl suggested on his own, Reginald immediately said, "Great minds think alike. If the Abbott Group and the Stone Group join hands, then w

Where Celena and Liam were staying was called a cottage. However, it was actually a place where the Stones kept their pets. They changed it temporarily when Celena was about to return.Of course, it was because of Cheryl and Sherah. It was deliberately done to humiliate Celena.However, Celena and Liam did not mind. At that moment, Liam and Celena were playing with Jovie at the cottage. Jovie had been extremely frightened at the dining hall earlier. It took the couple a long time before they managed to cheer Jovie up.The cottage was filled with Jovie's musical, joyful laughter.The cottage was at the furthest and most remote end of the Stone Mansion. The butler jogged all the way there. By the time he got to the door, he was breathing heavily.He shouted, "L-Liam, Mr. Stone asks for you to go to the door to accept the invitation." He panted.Liam put Jovie on his shoulders without sparing him a glance and said coldly, "Tell Reginald I'm not going unless he comes to invite me h
