Chapter 123
It was after Cheryl made a sarcastic remark at Celena and Liam that she got into the car. She ignored Celena, who was standing next to the car, and had the driver close the door.
There were other members of the Stones in the car. They then spoke to Liam and Celena through the car window and poked fun at them.
"You have money to get a cab, don't you? That would be too pitiful, wouldn't it? I feel a little sorry for them. How about this, Celena? You can beg and I'll give you smoney for the cab."
"Haha! You're so funny. Cabs are not allowed into the Stone Mansion. How could they get a cab?"
"Who cares if they can get a cab? They are not cultured anyway. They might bring shto our family if they were to attend the dinner tonight."
"Yes, you're right. Let's hurry up and go."

The cars were gone, and they had no way to hail a cab. What should they do?
Celena was dressed in a long blue dress with her hair up in a bun. Her makeup was beautifully done, but her gorgeous face was looking aggrieved at that moment.
Liam was standing next to her in a blue suit that matched the color of her dress. She looked at him and asked, "How about we walk out to get a cab?"
Liam smiled and pulled the helpless Celena closer to him. "It's fine. I'll get us a car."
Then, he looked at Jovie, who was in his arms. He pinched her adorable cheeks and asked, "Jovie, do you want to ride in a big car?"
"Wow! Yes, Dad! I do! I want to ride in a big car!" Jovie clapped and cheered with excitement and anticipation written all over her face.
While Liam teased Jovie, he grabbed his phone to make a call.
About five minutes later, a rumble rang out at the end of the road. The ground was shaking to the sound.
The sudden noises frightened Celena so much that she trembled. She looked toward the sound and saw a few long green gun barrels appearing at the end of the road.
It was after they all appeared that Celena got a clearer view. The vehicles driving toward them were actually tanks.
The car in the forefront was an army-green Jeep decorated with flowers. The four tanks following behind and escorting the Jeep were also decorated with flowers.
It was such a stunning sight that pedestrians stopped in their tracks to take a look.
"Fuck! What did I just see? It's a tank! I can't believe I just saw a tank!"

"Quick! Look! The few tanks seemed to be heading toward the Stone Mansion!"
It was too shocking.
The pedestrians were not the only ones with their jaws dropped. Celena was the same. At that moment, she was covering her mouth with her eyes widened. She was frozen in place as she
looked at the four huge tanks. She was completely shocked.
"L-Liam, this can't be the big car you're talking about, right? We're going to ride in this to the dinner?" asked Celena as she looked at Liam with confusion. She was so stunned that she was even stuttering.
Liam grinned and replied, "Yes. What's the matter? Don't you like it?"
Celena was incredibly excited. Other than being shocked, she was also a little scared. Those were actually tanks!
The average man who was into cars would collect limited supercars or luxurious cars. Liam, however, actually got tanks to roll up.
Apart from TV shows, Celena had only seen these huge beasts of steel in military-related news. At that moment, they were actually in front of her, and she would be riding in one of them later.
