Jordan showed up on their doorstep, ready to call them out, and Liam had the nerve to be that arrogant to his face!"Damn! Has Liam gone off the deep end? Is he freaking out, or did he get his head slammed in a door?""Grandpa, Liam's out of line! Even now, when we're on the edge, he's strutting around like he owns the place. He will bring the Stone family all down with him!""He's got a death wish, that's for sure! He's still acting like a fool at a time like this!""I'm just waiting to see how this plays out for him. I bet he's toast!"The Stone family and the company bigwigs all shot Liam dirty looks and started laying into him. They have done it with the smug satisfaction of spectators at a train wreck. Liam was a goner!Reginald, livid to the point of going pale, struggled to breathe, propped up on the couch and panting. His glare fixed on Liam. He was kicking himself for ever letting Liam into the Stone family. With a forced smile, he turned to Jordan and said, "Mr. Jordan,

Jordan was caught off guard, figuring some high-roller must be in the hospital, prompting a security sweep. He quickly slapped on a brown-nosing smile and said to the squad leader, "Hey there, Officer. I'm just here to see my kid. He's getting treated in this place."Levi, who was standing close by, put on his best ingratiating smile and sidled up, bobbing his head and scraping in a bow. "Sir, you've been working so hard! This is Jordan, head of the Wheeler family. Looks like you're soldiers from Drunham City's garrison, right? The Wheelers are on good terms with your boss, Malcolm. How about you let us through? The boss is worried sick about his son. Do us a solid, will you?"However, the squad leader was not having any of it. He shot Jordan and Levi a frosty glare, brushed them aside, and marched straight up to Liam. He snapped to attention and saluted with utmost respect. They watched, dumbstruck. "Mr. Cole, under General Lynch's orders, all three duty squads, thirty-six men in to

However, he could not do that. All he could do was keep signaling with his eyes to the cursing Skylar, hoping she would get the hint and zip it.Liam, who had been standing to the side with an amused smile, finally spoke up, "I'm the Liam you're after."Skylar whirled around, her gaze sharp as she took Liam in. Her anger boiled over as she bellowed, "So you're the lowlife who hit my son? Liam, is it? Good! Now you're going to come with me and apologize to my son! If you're lucky, I might just let you off easy. I might just let you go with some broken legs!"Before Liam could even process what she said, Jordan panicked. His legs buckled, and he started to collapse backward. Levi was quick to catch him, keeping him from hitting the floor.Skylar's frown deepened as she turned her attention to Jordan. She said irritatingly, "What's gotten into you? Feeling sick or something? You're sweating buckets and can't even stand up straight!"Jordan's heart was racing, and thank goodness he wa

In the soldiers' eyes, Adrian was the untouchable Military Chief of Staff, a captain and their direct boss. He was not someone they could just cross without thinking.The squad leader's face looked indecisive as he turned to Liam, words on the tip of his tongue but never quite making it out. "Mr. Cole, about this…"Liam got the squad leader's reluctance and the soldiers' too. With a resigned shake of his head, he turned to Jordan, whose smugness was growing by the second. "So, Jordan, you think having a big-shot brother-in-law as the Military Chief of Staff means you're untouchable and that I should just grovel and apologize to you?" he said icily.At that, Skylar snorted, her hands definitely on her hips, her eyes gleaming with scorn. "Obviously, my brother's the Military Chief of Staff in Drunham City, right under Malcolm's command. They're tight, been through thick and thin. Why on earth would Malcolm side with you over his loyal buddy? Will he lift a finger to help you if we com

Anger washed over Jordan's face as he snapped to attention. Skylar's screams spurred him to act, but Liam's steely stare and the unnerving presence he exuded stopped Jordan abruptly. His body shook, his legs turned to jelly, and he stumbled back to Skylar's side, pointing at Liam with a shaky finger. "Liam! Don't get ahead of yourself! Do you realize who my wife is? Her big brother's the top dog at Drunham City's military headquarters, and he's on his way! You hit my wife! Just wait till my brother-in-law shows up, then you're toast!"Skylar's heart sank at Jordan's cowardice. He could not even defend her honor. Her anger surged anew as she glared at him, then turned her wrath back on Liam, spitting venom with every word."Alright! Just you wait! My brother will be here any second, and I'll make sure you're begging for forgiveness on your knees! I'll see to it that one of your hands is useless!"Liam met Skylar's threats with a composed response, "Oh? Really? I'm waiting."At the s
