As they were about to head inside, a sleek car rolled up, stopping right next to
Celena and Liam. The door swung open, and Cheryl and Wasyl stepped out,
their arms laden with ornate, expensive boxes.
Not far behind, more cars pulled up. Out came Yafe and Walter, each holding
their own set of elegant gift boxes.
Cheryl's eyes locked onto Celena, and she said sarcastically, “Well, well, what do
we have here? If it isn't my dear sister, so desperate to come back home.” She
gave them a once-over, her gaze lingering on their empty hands. “Thinking of
meeting Mr. Lynch, are you? Are you here with that stench of poverty on you, not

What he said got Celena to the spot. She had no hope of a meeting, much less a
partnership. That was beyond her wildest dreams!
All the prominent families and businesses from Drunham City around were not
even sure they would be chosen. How could she, a woman with nothing to her

That would be crazy!
Cheryl could not help but laugh at Liam’s optimism, her sneer dripping with
contempt as she mocked, “Are you still half asleep or

Wasyl gave a disdainful snort. He
looked at Liam with an icy glare as he
recalled being humiliated by him at a
birthday party. “Just an ex- soldier
