Chapter 155
Liam's gaze was fierce. With a sneer, he was ready to beat the insolent mother and son to teach them a lesson.
Just then, Celena suddenly pulled Liam's hand and shook her head weakly. She said to Samantha and Sawyer, "Aunt Samantha, Sawyer, how about you guys head back first? I'll be sure to make arrangements."
Seeing that Celena agreed obediently, Samantha snorted and said, "Hmph! I guess you still know your place! Celena, you better make the arrangements quickly! Sawyer's career is rising now. If he becomes the manager of the headquarters in the future, you would be the one begging him!"
Sawyer sneered arrogantly as if Celena was already begging for help from him at that moment.

They did not look like it was them who cwith presents to beg Celena for a favor. Instead, it looked like Celena was the one giving them presents and begging them.
Liam shook his head and sighed resignedly. "Celena, Sawyer is ignorant and incompetent, worse than Cheryl. Are you sure you want to let him join the collaboration?"
Celena was also hesitant. She said with a conflicted expression, "He's my cousin after all-"
Since that was what she thought, Liam did not say anything more. He turned around and went to the room to accompany Jovie.
The next day, Celena was busy preparing the documents needed for the collaboration at home. Liam, on the other hand, brought Jovie out to purchase shousehold items.
They just moved into the cottage. This cottage was emptied by the Stone family at the last minute. It was only natural that they did not help them prepare any household items, so they would need to make the purchase themselves.
Liam brought Jovie to a furniture store nearby and bought quite a lot of things. He left the address for the staff to deliver the items directly to the Stone mansion.
When he was done shopping, Liam was ready to leave the shop with Jovie in his arms. Suddenly, the sound of a man could be heard coming from behind them. The voice was ridiculing them.
"Oh, who do we have here? I thought I must have been blind. It's Liam in the flesh! Why are you back in Drunham City? I thought you were dead seven years ago. I can't believe that you're so lucky and you're alive!"

Liam stopped in his tracks and turned toward the source of the sound. It was a man with a handsface and a tall figure in a well-fitted suit. Behind him, there were four bodyguards in suits and sunglasses.
The man continued to mock, "Oh my gosh, it is you! I heard that you married into the Stone family. I guess the one in your arms now is the bastard child that Celena gave birth to? Are you living with your wife's family now? Say, why didn't you cto look forwhen you were in trouble after you returned to Drunham City? It must not be easy to be in your position!"
The man walked closer to Liam with a pompous expression. He reached out his hand to pinch Jovie's little cheeks, but Jovie avoided him. The man was not affected. He still had an evil smile on his face.
Liam's brows were locked in a frown. A hint of impatience gleamed in his eyes. He knew the man before him.
One could even say that they were very close. The man in front of him was his inseparable best friend, the heir of the Zelma family from Drunham City—Zachary Zelma.
He was one of the three giants of the furniture business in Drunham City. He had a great entrepreneurial mind and had millions in assets!
Before the Cole family went down, Zachary and Liam were like brothers thick as thieves. Ever since what happened to the Cold family, the Zelma family immediately cut ties with Liam. They even took the chance to gobble up the Cole family's properties.
Back then, Zachary was always fawning over Liam. As if he was Liam's shadow, he would follow Liam wherever he went.
