“Grandpa! Liam's got some nerve! He's demanding that our whole Stone family
roll out the red carpet, go to Celena, and beg her to return to the Stone family!”
Cheryl fumed. She paused, stealing a glance at Reginald. Noticing his face
turning stormy, she quickly lowered her voice, saying, “And he wants me... to
apologize to Celena and that little kid, and he even said... he even said...”
“What else? Out with it!” Reginald was fuming, his eyes blazing with anger as he
slammed his cane onto the blue floor with a resounding thud!
Cheryl jumped, a shiver running down her spine, but a surge of glee bubbled
within her. She kept up her outraged facade, whispering, “He said you, Grandpa,
should personally go and ask...”
Boom!
That was the last straw. The Stone family's members in the hall went off like a
bomb! They bellowed with fury.
“Are you kidding me? Our family’s elder is supposed to go and ask himself?”
“Liam stepped out of line, just a washed-up soldier, a nobody. He has the gall to
ask our family’s head to go and ask in person. No way, Grandpa. We can't let this
slide!”
“Absolutely not! We can't give in to such a demand. What does he think the
Stone family is? That's just not done!”
“No way! We can’t agree to this! What about Celena? She wasn't there, was
she? She's supposed to be one of us, a Stone, and now she’s taking sides with
outsiders and ignoring her own grandfather? She's nothing but trouble. Good
riddance that we kicked her out when we
did!”

The room was filled with people seething with anger for Celena and
Liam.
Crash!
“That's enough! What is this ruckus? We're the Stones, not some street market!”
Reginald’s hand came down hard on the table, his voice thundering through the
room. He then turned to Yafe and Sherah, took a moment to think, and then
ordered, “You're the head of the family now, and Celena is your daughter. You
deal with this.”
Yafe’s face tensed up, clearly unhappy about it, but he had no choice but to
agree. “Fine.”

Sherah, who was sitting nearby,
quickly spoke up, her face twisted
with reluctance. “That won't do! Liam
said he wants all of us there, even
Reginald himself! If we're the only
ones who show up, Liam won't be
satisfied!” The content is on

“Sherah, what are you suggesting?
That dad should personally go beg
Celena to come back? If he does that,
the Stone family will be everyone's
laughingstock! Besides, Celena
should be thankful th we're opening
our doors to her again. Does she
really expect Dad t come to her with
the whole family in tow?” The content

Walter watched Sherah's rejection
with a scoff, but his mind was racing.
Celena was a true-born daughter of
the main branch of the family. If they
refused to step up, would the
responsibility fall to them? The
opposition was clearly aiming to
embarrass the Stone family, and he
had no intention of walking into that
trap. The content is on

His wife, Teresa Foster, chimed in quickly, “Sherah, you're not understanding this.
Celena is your own flesh and blood, your very own child. It makes perfect sense
for you to handle this. If Celena’s being
asonable, shouldn't you fix it? Why should Reginald have to get
involved?”
