Celena's puzzled but anticipating look made Liam want to tell her the truth. However, it was not the tyet. Thank goodness he managed to hold his tongue in twhen she came.
Holding in his urge, he smiled and explained, "It's nothing. I wanted to say I'm King Pendragon's subordinate!"
Without waiting for Celena to ask any other questions, Liam quickly changed the topic and said, "Jovie is injured. Let's first take her to the hospital."
It was only then Celena quickly checked on Jovie's swollen forehead. She felt so heartbroken that tears filled her eyes. She looked so worried, and there was a catch in her throat as she said, "Alright. Let's quickly go to the hospital! How could she be hurt so badly—"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJovie was lying on Liam's shoulder. After she saw Celena's worried gaze, she immediately threw herself into her arms. She cried sadly while wrapping her arms around Celena's neck. She pursed her lips with much grievance.
"Mom, it hurts! It hurts so much."
Jovie's tears broke Celena's heart. She quickly dashed to the nearest hospital with Jovie in her arms.
Whatever Celena heard about King Pendragon or Barbie was all thrown to the back of her mind. Liam secretly glanced at Celena, who was walking beside him with Jovie in her embrace, and he felt relieved and a little guilty.
Celena was mad at him for not being truthful before. However, he had no other choice. He did not dare to put Celena and Jovie at risk, and he could not bring himself to do so either.
After they left, Calum arrived at Christopher Mall to deal with the aftermath personally.
The CEO's office at the mall had a suffocating atmosphere.
Calum sat at the chair in the office, and beside him stood the mafia boss of Drunham City, Eaden. Edward and the senior executives of the mall were all standing nervously at the corner. They kept wiping off the beads of sweat that were breaking out on their foreheads.
Calum looked so terrifying that Edward and the others could feel a shiver down their spines. What was more surprising to them was that Eaden was standing humbly and respectfully beside Calum.
They were merely the executive directors of this tiny mall. They did not have any courage to raise their heads in front of someone like Eaden at all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, the person that everyone in Drunham City looked up to was standing quietly next to Calum with a humble demeanor. This showed that Calum was also a prominent character with a terrifying identity.
What made them even more fearful was what Calum said to them.
Calum said, "Remember, forget whatever happened in the mall today. You must all be a united front. If any of you dares to reveal my boss' identity, I'm sure you don't needto elaborate on the consequences, right? My boss still doesn't want to reveal his identity yet. Have I made myself clear?"
Calum sat on the chair with a hardened expression. He was speaking in a calm tone, but it made Edward and the rest quiver.
"Yes, yes! We understand! We'll do as we're told!" Edward replied while nodding with all of his might, fearing that he would not respond in time.
It was only then Calum stood up and left like the wind, bringing along Eaden, who looked like his submissive subordinate.
After Calum left for a long while, Edward finally heaved a sigh of relief. He wanted to move his legs to the couch, but he realized his knees were weak. He sat down with great difficulty and collapsed on the couch in exhaustion.
It was when Edward finally recovered that he suddenly remembered he did not have the chance to report this to the headquarters. He quickly made a call to the head office. He thought that the headquarters would have sopinions.
