Chapter 129
Jovie was just a child, after all. Of course, she would be terrified by everyone who had turned against her and her family!
Jovie began to hiccup, and Liam immediately patted her back reassuringly. "Don't be scared, Jovie. Dad is here, and nothing bad will happen to us! Don't worry!"
Wasyl sneered. It was playing out exactly the way he had planned it. He pointed at Liam, Celena, and Jovie, then shouted, "Guards! Lock them up! They're trying to commit fraud, but we won't let them get away with this!"

Everyone instinctively stepped back for fear of getting caught in this imminent fight.
The man leading the team was a Second Class Sergeant in a military green suit. He stared coldly at Liam, then snatched the two different invitations out of Wasyl's hand and scrutinized them.
"How dare you attempt to sneak into this sacred venue with a fake invitation? This is fraud at its highest degree!" the sergeant barked after checking the two invitations.
The Stones were all so frightened that they felt their knees go weak. It was all Liam's fault! They would not have gotten their hands on fake invitations if it were not for Liam! What were they going to do?
"Damn it! How are we going to get out of this? We're certainly going to get punished, and perhaps we'll even have to serve the death penalty for this! It's all that wretched Liam's fault!"
"How dare he lie to us and get us in this pickle? If it were not for his greed and vanity, we would not have gotten our hands on fake invitations at all!"
"Men, seize them! Then begin a check on all the guests and their invitations to make sure no one snuck in with the sfakes! Lock them up if they do!" the sergeant ordered.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Stones, who all possessed the sinvitations, all groaned and immediately tried to defend themselves. "Sergeant, this isn't our fault! We've all been tricked by Liam! Please don't capture us!"
"Sergeant, we had nothing to do with this. It's all Liam's doing, and I had no idea the invitations were fake. We would never have dared to commit such a heinous crime!"
"Please don't arrest us. We're all innocent. Liam should be arrested instead! He's the mastermind behind all this!"
"Liam! Celena! These are all your faults! How can you lie to us? Are you not going to rest until you see all of us rotting in jail as a result of your actions? It's all your fault! You should be punished for this! I hope you rot in jail!"
The Stones all turned to stare daggers at Liam and Celena. They wanted nothing more than to skin both Liam and Celena alive at this point!
Yafe was so outraged that his entire body began to shake. He had always been an arrogant and rather egoistic person. Although he was the head of the family, he was not willing to bear responsibility and instead assigned all the blto Celena!
He still felt humiliated by what happened in the past. Since Celena was his daughter, everything she did was a reflection of him, so he could not but feel utterly humiliated by this. He finally could not stand everyone's contemptuous gaze on him anymore and turned to Celena. "Celena! You are a curse to this family! When are you going to stop humiliating us? We have becthe laughingstock of the town again because of you! What are you doing here anyway? You should kill yourself!"
