After finishing what he had to say, Reginald walked off with his walking stick and left the cottage, disregarding Cheryl's unwilling expression.
After Liam and Celena returned to their cottage, Samantha and Sawyer cto visit them with bags of presents in an attempt to flatter them.
"Dearest Celena! These are health supplements that I bought for you. This is for Jovie. Have a look and see if you like them!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSamantha was full of smiles as she walked in with the presents. She was full of honeyed words as held Celena's hand, acting like they were very close and as if Celena was her daughter.
Sawyer followed close behind gleefully. "Celena, congratulations on landing this project! You must have so much to do for this project that you and Cheryl wouldn't be able to handle by yourselves. How about you arrange forto be involved? I can also help you!"
Celena was already light-headed with Samantha's brown-nosing. With Sawyer's request at that moment, she pitifully looked at Liam for help.
Liam felt if he did not say anything to save Celena, she would faint. Therefore, he said coldly, "If you want to participate in the project and hold a position or two, sure! Then you need to apologize for the way you treated Celena before!"
They initially thought that it would all be done by just gifting Celena a thing or two and sweet-talking to her. They did not expect Liam to make them apologize to her!
After all, Samantha was Celena's aunt. If it was not for a chance to let Sawyer take part in the project, they would not demean themselves by coming to Celena.
Samantha's and Sawyer's faces turned sullen instantly. It was as if they just swallowed something disgusting.
"Liam, what's this got anything to do with you? I'm asking Celena, not you! Besides, I am Celena's aunt. Are you expectingto lower myself to apologize to her?" Samantha immediately barked at Liam. She even pushed him away from Celena.

At these words, the scene of what happened to Yafe in the yard just now replayed in Samantha's mind. The sight of how Lieutenant Andrews cwith a dozen armed soldiers and had them surrounded made them quiver at the mere thought of it. She quickly retracted her hand that was pushing Liam and took two steps back fearfully. She almost fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Sawyer quickly walked forward to hold onto his mother. He pointed at Liam angrily and yelled, "Liam, who do you think you are? Do you think threatening us with Lieutenant Andrews would scare us?
"You're nothing more than a retired soldier, and he was only looking after you because he was feeling nostalgic. How many times do you think you can abuse this idea? |
"Listen up! This is the Stone mansion. If I were you, I'd know my place and be submissive, or else. Hmph! You'll only suffer!"
"That's right! This is the Stone mansion, and Lieutenant Andrews is not so free that he could protect you at every go!" Samantha was clamoring along.
What her son said is right, Liam was nothing more than a retired soldier. Even if he had special treatment, how many times could he play this card? If he wanted to have a good life, then he would need to learn to yield!
