Chapter 90
Malcolm was not just turning down gifts. He was cutting out all the gift-bearing
family and businesses. It was only Celena who had come empty-handed. That
was the Stone family’s big break, and they were determined to grab it with both
hands.
Suddenly, Liam cut in, “Oh? She's with the Stone family? Funny, that’s not what
you said yesterday!”
Liam's brow furrowed as he glared icy at them. “What's this? Now you're
acknowledging her as your daughter again?”

own family?” Sawyer looked icy as he scolded her, fearing she might slip up.
Walter looked at Celena with disapproval. “Celena, this isn't like you! Has your
second uncle ever wronged you?”
Sawyer chimed in, egging her on, “Yeah, yeah, Celena, say something, will you?”
Yafe, fighting back his hatred, managed to force a smile more pained than
anything. “Celena, don’t you recognize me, your dad?”
A single word from him had Celena’s heart racing. All her life, she had Honged
