Female Novel
Chapter 155
Liam's gaze was fierce. With a sneer, he was ready to beat the insolent mother and son to teachthem a lesson.
Just then, Celena suddenly pulled Liam's hand and shook her head weakly. She said to Samanthaand Sawyer, "Aunt Samantha, Sawyer, how about you guys head back first? I'll be sure to makearrangements."
Seeing that Celena agreed obediently, Samantha snorted and said, "Hmph! I guess you still knowyour place! Celena, you better make the arrangements quickly! Sawyer's career is rising now. If hebecomes the manager of the headquarters in the future, you would be the one begging him!"
Sawyer sneered arrogantly as if Celena was already begging for help from him at that moment.
After finishing what they came to say, Samantha collected all the presents they brought andswaggered out of Celena's cottage along with Sawyer.
They did not look like it was them who came with presents to beg Celena for a favor. Instead, itlooked like Celena was the one giving them presents and begging them.
Liam shook his head and sighed resignedly. "Celena, Sawyer is ignorant and incompetent, worsethan Cheryl. Are you sure you want to let him join the collaboration?"
Celena was also hesitant. She said with a conflicted expression, "He's my cousin after all-"
Since that was what she thought, Liam did not say anything more. He turned around and went tothe room to accompany Jovie.
The next day, Celena was busy preparing the documents needed for the collaboration at home.Liam, on the other hand, brought Jovie out to purchase some household items.
They just moved into the cottage. This cottage was emptied by the Stone family at the last minute. Itwas only natural that they did not help them prepare any household items, so they would need tomake the purchase themselves.
Liam brought Jovie to a furniture store nearby and bought quite a lot of things. He left the addressfor the staff to deliver the items directly to the Stone mansion.
When he was done shopping, Liam was ready to leave the shop with Jovie in his arms. Suddenly,the sound of a man could be heard coming from behind them. The voice was ridiculing them.
"Oh, who do we have here? I thought I must have been blind. It's Liam in the flesh! Why are youback in Drunham City? I thought you were dead seven years ago. I can't believe that you're so luckyand you're alive!"novelbin
The man's voice was flippant with disdain in his voice, carrying a sense of insufferable arroganceand boastfulness in his words.
Liam stopped in his tracks and turned toward the source of the sound. It was a man with ahandsome face and a tall figure in a well-fitted suit. Behind him, there were four bodyguards in suitsand sunglasses.
The man continued to mock, "Oh my gosh, it is you! I heard that you married into the Stone family. Iguess the one in your arms now is the bastard child that Celena gave birth to? Are you living withyour wife's family now? Say, why didn't you come to look for me when you were in trouble after youreturned to Drunham City? It must not be easy to be in your position!"
The man walked closer to Liam with a pompous expression. He reached out his hand to pinchJovie's little cheeks, but Jovie avoided him. The man was not affected. He still had an evil smile onhis face.
Liam's brows were locked in a frown. A hint of impatience gleamed in his eyes. He knew the manbefore him.
One could even say that they were very close. The man in front of him was his inseparable bestfriend, the heir of the Zelma family from Drunham City—Zachary Zelma.
He was one of the three giants of the furniture business in Drunham City. He had a greatentrepreneurial mind and had millions in assets!
Before the Cole family went down, Zachary and Liam were like brothers thick as thieves. Ever sincewhat happened to the Cold family, the Zelma family immediately cut ties with Liam. They even tookthe chance to gobble up the Cole family's properties.
Back then, Zachary was always fawning over Liam. As if he was Liam's shadow, he would followLiam wherever he went.
