Chapter 189
George, on the other hand, slinked out of the room the moment he put Makson down and deliberately turned a blind eye to what was going on inside. He finally approached Liam when he cout of the room and asked, "Mr. Cole, is there anything else I can help you with?"
Liam gazed up at the sky above him and replied, "Keep your mouths shut about everything that happened today! You should know what to answer if my wife's family asks about this."
George immediately perked up. "Yes, sir, understood!"

George turned back to glance at Eaden, who was still wiping the sweat off his forehead. He did not say anything, and instead led his men out of there. He would leave Eaden to deal with Makson's dead body himself.
Liam returned to Stone Mansion after this. Celena, who waited for him, cout of the house when she saw him coming. She glanced all over him to make sure he was alright and finally let out a sigh of relief. "Are you okay? Did they try to hurt you?"
Liam put his arm around her shoulder and led her back inside, smiling. "No, of course not. They just wanted to asksquestions, that's all. Don't worry, Celena, everything's going to be fine now. You can reswork immediately!"
Celena was immediately delighted to hear this. She patted her chest in relief and said, "That's splendid! I've been worried sick! I'll let Mr. Lane know immediately!"
With that, she grabbed her bag and left.
Meanwhile, at the Abbott Group headquarters, Wasyl was sprawled across his sofa with Cheryl straddling him, the two of them entangled in each other's arms like the lovebirds they were.
Wasyl had one hand slung casually over the sofa, holding a cigarette between his fingers, while his other hand reached into Cheryl's gaping top. Cheryl, on the other hand, blushed as she leaned her head against Wasyl's shoulder. She pursed her rosy lips and gently blew against Wasyl's ear seductively. This only served to entice Wasyl even more.

He was about to ignore it, but it kept ringing menacingly, as though there was something urgent to be dealt with. Finally, he pulled his free hand out of Cheryl's top and took the call impatiently. "What the hell is going on? Why the f*ck are you calling me?"
A man's voice rang out, "Mr. Abbott, I have bad news! Makson has been arrested, and the Stone family has resumed their work!"
"What?" Wasyl immediately sat up in horror, sending Cheryl sprawling onto the ground. She turned to glare at him and shrieked, "What the hell? That hurt!"
Wasyl ignored her. He contemplated this for a moment, then asked, "What happened? How did he get arrested out of nowhere?"
"I'm not too sure of the details, but the commissioner himself was the one who led the arrest. Not only that but he was caught red-handed at the Stone family's factory! What are we going to do, Mr. Abbott? Will Makson tell them that it was us?" The man on the other end of the line was frantic. He already went through all the worst scenarios on his end and was prepared to make a run for it.
Wasyl's expression darkened. He paced his office a few times, deep in thought, and finally replied, "Lie low for the tbeing, and don't do anything rash. I'll speak to Mr. Wafer myself!"
