With that announcement, Liam’s tall silhouette appeared at the door of the banquet hall with Calum next to him holding the black box. The two of them entered with big strides.
Their handsome faces, defined features, and impressive bearings. stunned everyone at the scene.
The hall that was initially quiet suddenly erupted with excitement!
“Since when have we had a Cole family in Drunham City? I’ve never
heard of them!”
“You only arrived two years ago, so of course, you wouldn’t know. The Coles shared the position of being the top family with the Walkers in the past. But the Coles were more powerful than the Walkers! It was just that later… It was after that that the Walkers came out on top.”
“T-This is that young chap of the Coles! Why is he here? I heard that he defiled the eldest daughter of the Stones, Celena, during his wedding with Clora Walker! I heard that Celena was even banished from the Stone Family!”
“I remember that! His wedding with Ms. Walker was also held here at the Sovereign Hotel back then!”
Everyone’s attention went from the newly engaged couple on the stage to the two tall figures at the entrance. Seeing Liam’s familiar face, some of the guests at the engagement party that year could not help but be reminded of the wedding of the century that shook the whole city.
However, Liam was no longer the high-spirited young man of the bygone years. The Liam before them had a gaze of frigid sharpness. His determined face carried a sense of coldness that sent a
chill

down the people’s spines.
Liam, who was on the run after being hunted down by the Stones, had
returned.
The Stones were the ones that caused the Coles to be destroyed. If not for the fact that Liam had defiled Celena back then, the Walkers
and the Stones would not have found a reason to take out the Coles!
Now, Liam actually appeared at Cheryl’s engagement party.

What a timing of Liam’s appearance! Of all occasions, he reappeared at the engagement party between the Stones and the Hughes! It looked like the Stones and Liam were about to lock horns again.
After all, the memory of the whole Cole family being annihilated overnight was still vivid in many people’s minds. Cheryl saw Liam again as she stood on stage. The rage of being targeted by Liam immediately surged within her.
She originally had a beautifully painted face, but due to the fury, her expression was contorted. Her joyful gaze had been replaced with a vicious look. She was staring at Liam, and her hand that was resting. on her thighs was clutching her wedding dress tightly.
She tried her best to contain her anger. Yafe and Reginald had long clearly expressed to her the importance of this engagement party. It had to do with whether or not the Stones could rise up to be the top family. It was even more of a chance for Cheryl to prove herself to
everyone!
Cheryl wanted to prove that she was the best and most beautiful woman in Drunham City. Who the heck was Celena?
She loathed anything that had to do with Celena. Looking down upon Liam from the stage, she said, “What are you doing here? I did not
invite you to my engagement party! And that bitch, Celena. She was a whore that was banished by the Stones seven years ago! She is not one of us. I don’t need her to congratulate me.
Cheryl’s shrill voice echoed the whole banquet hall. Everyone looked toward Liam, anticipating an answer.
Liam’s expression remained unfathomable. He did not even look at Cheryl
With his hands behind his back, Liam turned toward Yafe and
Reginald, seated at the main table. Then, he asked frostily, “What’s the matter? Is this the level of hospitality shown by the heads of the Stones and Hughes?”
