Patrick cast one last glare at Cheryl, whose cheek was still oozing blood, before
storming out of the hall with his bodyguards.
Cheryl slumped onto the ground, clutching her face as she stared at her leaving
fiance in disbelief. Finally, she burst into tears. “Liam Cole! Celena Stone! You
bastards! That bitch! Bitch! I will make you regret you were ever born!”
That night, the news of Liam's appearance at Cheryl's engagement party with his
deceased parents’ ashes spread through the entire Drunham City like wildfire.
The Stones had become the laughingstock of the town overnight!
Some who had once been victims of Cheryl's wrongdoings all
applauded Liam for his heroic act, and some even began to speculate what Liam
had been up to throughout the past few years of his
banishment.
After some time, someone revealed that Liam was simply a retired soldier and
did not, in fact, hail from any powerful martial arts background. He was just a
passionate man with some tricks up his sleeve. However, his “assistant’, who
always seemed to show up at the right time, turned out to be a martial arts
master whom Liam had hired to be his bodyguard!
Everyone's disdain toward Liam grew even more after this discovery spread

had erupted into chaos. The Hughes had called off their engagement and even
halted some of the major collaborative projects between the two families. Not

their
collaborations with the Stone family
Jade Manor, on the other hand, was as peaceful as ever. The man who had
single handedly caused the Stone family’s downfall was sitting next to Celena’s
bed, feeding her a bowl of soup.
Celena had already awoken from her coma, but she was so weak from her
multiple injuries that she could not move at all.
She smiled as she watched Liam gently feed her every spoonful of the soup like
a child and could not help teasing him. “Look at you. Everyone would think I'm
dying when they see how you're treating me!”
“Hey, don't say that! I won't let anything happen to you!” he scoffed glaring at her.
