Chapter 176
"A…All of you want to work with me? Why? I haven't even gotten in touch with any of you yet!" Celena was puzzled as she stared around her at the five powerful men before her.
They all smiled and simply replied, "Ms. Stone, sthings are better left unsaid. All you have to know is that all five of us want to work alongside you and no one else! That's all we have to say about this. We have to leave now, so toodles!"
With that, all five of them shoved their contracts into Celena's hand and sauntered away with their assistants, much to the shock of the Stone family and everyone else watching.

"Was I dreaming? Did all of that really happen?"
"I'm just as confused as you are. What happened? Why would all those chairmen cby themselves and specifically request to work with Celena? What did she do? I can't believe it. Is she really so capable as to first win over Max Group, and now the biggest and most powerful corporations in the city?"
"Could Liam be behind this? I haven't seen him all day!"
Reginald finally snapped out of his stupor and scampered over to Celena. Then, he snatched the contracts out of her hands. "This is amazing! Greatest news I've ever heard! If we work alongside these five suppliers, we will dominate and monopolize the entire Drunham City! Splendid work, Celena! I'm very pleased!"
Celena was still in shock over what had happened. All of a sudden, something occurred to her. She recalled what Liam had told her the day before. Could this be what he meant? Could these be the old friends he was talking about?
It made no sense. Liam was over two decades younger than those men, so how could he possibly have connections to all of them?
All of a sudden, a familiar, dreadful voice rang out, "Dad, Celena has pulled off such an amazing feat! She should be made…"

Before she could even finish, however, Reginald cut her off, "We will still go according to our previous arrangements. Celena is still the rightful project leader. I have high expectations for you, Celena. So far you've surpassed them! I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us!"
The color drained from Cheryl and Sherah's faces when they heard this. They had sabotaged the project so that no supplier in Drunham City would even dare to go near the Stone family, but who would have thought that Celena would manage to bypass this and somehow win over the five most elite suppliers in the city?
"That damned Liam! How did he even pull this off? He ruined everything!" Cheryl muttered to herself, casting Celena a murderous glare.
Despite being praised and complimented by everyone she met, Celena remained humble and kept reassuring everyone that she would continue working hard and not disappoint her grandfather.
Meanwhile, the five chairmen stepped out of the building and approached a man who was standing by the side of the pavement, smoking a cigarette. All of them had looks of awe and admiration on their faces because there was another man standing right next to the first one, staring at him with respect.
This second man was none other than Kolten Reath, the richest man in the entire Drunham City.
Yet, the richest man in Drunham City was at the beck and call of this mysterious man whom they had never met before. Despite not knowing his true identity, all five of them could easily deduce that this man was far more powerful than any of them could even imagine!
