Yafe looked resigned and ashamed as he tried to smooth things over. He shot a warning look at Celena and Liam and said, “Alright, our family dinner is more important. Let’s not waste our time on unimportant people! Come on, Wasyl, let’s drink!”
His tone might have sounded civil, but his gaze was filled with anger as he looked at Celena and Liam.
Celena was once the daughter of one of the most distinguished
families in Drunham City. How did she end up with the likes of Liam? She even gave birth to a bastard child and made the Stone family a laughing stock.
However, Yafe had forgotten that it was not without his contribution that Liam had ended up in Celena’s room seven years ago.
Celena saw how everyone was looking at her angrily. They were condemning her, making her hang her head.
She quietly pulled Liam’s hand and shook her head lightly. “Liam, stop talking. This is the Stone Mansion, after all. Let’s not poke our noses where they don’t belong. Let’s just sit here to have dinner quietly with Jovie, alright?”
Liam saw how conflicted Celena looked, so he nodded and returned to his seat with Jovie in his arms. He no longer wanted to press Wasyl any further.
However, Wasyl did not plan to just let Liam off the hook. He glared at Liam and barked, “Hold up. Explain what you had just said. You have not dined with me before in Macclesfield? Are you trying
to say that you are the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors, the legendary King Pendragon who commands hundreds of thousands of men?”

Liam frowned as he glanced at Wasyl. He was just about to blow his lid when he saw from the corner of his eye that Celena was trying her best to warn him. Then, he decided to swallow his anger and stop responding.
Wasyl, however, was like a dog with a bone.
He slammed his glass on the table and yelled, “Who the fuck do you think you are? If you’re the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors, then I’m the chief of a hidden ancient tribe! How about you take a look in the mirror before you try to impersonate King Pendragon? Careful or you’ll lose your head if he finds out! You may even get the Stone family in trouble. Do you understand?”
Hearing that, the Stones quivered in fear. Some timid ones could not even hold their glasses in their hands anymore. They all hated Liam, who was insolent and did not watch his tongue.
They started defending the Stone family by saying, “Mr. Abbott, this is all Liam’s fault! The Stone family’s got nothing to do with it!”
“That’s right, we have never acknowledged that he’s one of us, so he’s not a part of the family. If there’s any blame it should all be on Lia
alone!”
Reginald had been quiet this whole time. However, he also let out few awkward chuckles and said, “Mr. Abbott, I hope you will be gracious enough to ignore this loser! How would he know as much as you do? Please don’t lower yourself to his level.”
It was only then that Wasyl sneered. He took out a few invitations from his pocket and threw them on the table casually.
Then, he said, “As you probably already know, the guests invited to the dinner tomorrow night are no ordinary people. I’m guessing your family doesn’t have an invitation, am I right? I got these invitations by pulling a few strings. Do any of you have the connections to help you This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

get an invitation? Look at this. This is the best proof that King Pendragon and I go way back!”
Of course, the Stone family did not receive any invitations. That was because Liam had previously ordered Malcolm to skip them on
purpose.
The Abbott family, on the other hand, had spent lots of money and effort just to collaborate with the Max Group, and that was how they got the deal.
At first, Wasyl only had two invitations. However, he wanted to appear better, so he spent a hefty sum to purchase another three.
