Chapter 153
The item in the velvet box was a gold Medal of Honor!
Seeing that Liam accepted it, Lieutenant Andrews had an even bigger smile on his face. He finally accomplished the mission given to him by his superior.
He then looked kindly toward Celena and said, "Ms. Stone, do you have anything else you need me to take care of for you right now?"
Celena was stunned for a while. She took a glance at Reginald in fear and shook her head.

This was originally a good intention on Celena's part. However, to Cheryl's ears, this only sounded like Celena was humiliating her. It was as if the projects that she wanted were all bestowed upon her by Celena, and this made her uncomfortable.
She was going to scold Celena out of instinct, but she immediately saw Lieutenant Andrews when she raised her head; so she did not dare to act rashly.
Lieutenant Andrews frowned and said, "I have no objections. Since you are the person in charge of this project, you may allow whoever to participate as you wish!"
Hearing this, Yafe and Sherah were both relieved. At least their daughter could continue to be a part of this collaboration and the benefits their family would sow would not lessen.
Lieutenant Andrews glared at the Stone family coldly, gave a salute to Liam, and left the Stone mansion along with his men.
It was not until the soldiers were far away that the Stone family breathed a sigh of relief, and they looked at Liam fearfully.
This loser was always so lucky. He had Lieutenant Andrews cto his rescue tand again. Was he just a simple soldier who was discharged?
Reginald stared at the box in Liam's hands. He could not hold back his curiosity and asked, "Liam! What's the relationship between you and Mr. Lynch? To have a medal from the military."
Reginald was not alone as everyone there was curious about the relationship between Liam and Mr. Lynch. They also wanted to know about his connection with the Drunham City military. Everyone looked curiously at Liam and waited for his explanation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLiam did not plan to explain, but he saw from the corner of his eye that Celena was also looking at him curiously waiting for his reply.
That was why he said calmly, "Nothing much. It was only that because I fought for my country, so this was to honor that. As for Mr. Lynch, I was in Mr. Lynch's platoon before, and I retired from it after he was sent to Drunham City.
When he finished, he grabbed Celena and left straight away.
The rest of the Stone family was still looking upset at the sight of how Liam marched to the beat of his drum. However, deep down, they were honestly relieved.
They thought how powerful Liam was. By the looks of it, it was all because he was previously in Malcolm's platoon, and he was feeling nostalgic.
They would like to see how many more times Liam could use this favor from Malcolm.
After everyone left, Cheryl resumed her unruly and stubborn demeanor. She stomped her foot fiercely and whined while holding her injured face, "Hmph! I don't need that bitch Celena's charity!"
On the other hand, Reginald was looking sullen. He glared at Cheryl coldly. If not for Cheryl trying to get the project from Celena, would they becsuch a joke in front of those outsiders?
His expression hardened and snorted. "What an incompetent person! If you're so good, then how cyou didn't land the project? Since Celena is allowing it, then you better behave and work together with her. In the meantime, you'd better watch Celena closely for me. Nothing of the Stone family belongs to Liam. And if you find anything suspicious, you report it toimmediately!"
