Chapter 118
The butler could not hold it in anymore after seeing Reginald in a daze. He tried to probe by saying softly, "S-Sir, we… "
Reginald immediately regained his senses. He stood up while looking anxious. As if he could not believe it, he asked again, "What did you say? A military truck here to deliver the invitations? And there's a truck full of them?"
The butler nodded profusely and said, "Yes, sir. The truck is right outside our door. They say they are here to deliver the invitations. They asked us to send someone to collect them." This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Many of them could not stay put any longer and stood up together. Their sudden action caused the table and chairs to fall on the floor, creating a loud, piercing noise.
Reginald quickly pulled a chair out of the way while holding his walking stick. The butler came up to help him, and they rushed toward the door of the Stone Mansion.
Wasyl had an incredibly long face at that moment. He was extremely confused. He wanted to confirm if what the butler said was true, so he followed the Stones outside.
When Reginald and the rest of the Stones arrived at the door, they saw a military truck parked outside. Four soldiers in full tactical gear were standing next to the truck.
The man standing in the forefront was dressed in a combat uniform. His shoulder mark showed them that he was a second lieutenant.
Reginald walked up in excitement with his walking stick. He kept surveying the man in the combat uniform in front of him and asked, "Hello, may I know who you are…"
The man took a step forward and said, "I am Second Lieutenant Andrews."
Reginald smiled and extended his hand. He was still surveying the man as he said, "Pleasure meeting you, Lieutenant Andrews. Why are you here at such a late hour?"
Lieutenant Andrews ignored Reginald's extended hand. With a wave of his hand, the four soldiers immediately opened the trunk and carried two big boxes out of the truck. Then, they opened the boxes under everyone's watchful eyes.
Both the boxes were filled to the brim with invitations.
They were all the invitations to dinner held by the Max Group. They were identical to the ones that Wasyl brought. Even the places where it was gilded were the same.
Everyone was shocked. They were fully convinced that Liam was serious when he made the call earlier and asked someone to deliver a truck full of invitations.
They could not believe that it was actually real.
Reginald was panicked a little. He could not help but wonder when Malcolm's dinner invitations became so worthless.
However, he corrected himself after that. These invitations were delivered by a military truck. How could they be the same as the other invitations?
At that moment, everyone was starting to speculate who exactly Liam was and what his background was. He was able to get the invitations with just a phone call when Wasyl had to pay a hefty sum to get them. On top of that, those two boxes were delivered by a military truck.
Lieutenant Andrews still had a long face. He looked at the Stones and said calmly, "The invitations have been delivered. Mr. Lynch has instructed that they needed to be accepted by Mr. Cole himself."
Regional panicked. He turned to the butler and said anxiously, "Hurry up! Quick! Go get Liam!"
The butler was stunned and did not react.
Reginald got so pissed and desperately wanted to kill the butler. He bellowed, "Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and go get Liam!"
"Oh, right. Yes. I'll get on it now." The butler broke out of his stupor. With a pale face, he frantically ran toward Liam and Celena's cottage.
