Chapter 86
As they were about to head inside, a sleek car rolled up, stopping right next to Celena and Liam. The door swung open, and Cheryl and Wasyl stepped out, their arms laden with ornate, expensive boxes.
Not far behind, more cars pulled up. Out cYafe and Walter, each holding their own set of elegant gift boxes.
Cheryl’s eyes locked onto Celena, and she said sarcastically, “Well, well, what do we have here? If it isn’t my dear sister, so desperate to cback home.” She gave them a once-over, her gaze lingering on their empty hands. “Thinking of meeting Mr. Lynch, are you? Are you here with that stench of poverty on you, not even a decent gift to your name? How utterly disgraceful.”

What he said got Celena to the spot. She had no hope of a meeting, much less a partnership. That was beyond her wildest dreams!
All the prominent families and businesses from Drunham City around were not even sure they would be chosen. How could she, a woman with nothing to her name, stand a chance?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat would be crazy!
Cheryl could not help but laugh at Liam’s optimism, her sneer dripping with contempt as she mocked, “Are you still half asleep or
something? Why would he work with you? What do you have to offer? A few jars of cream?”
Wasyl gave a disdainful snort. He looked at Liam with an icy glare as he recalled being humiliated by him at a birthday party. “Just an ex- soldier with more brawn than brains. Do you think you can compete for a project collaboration here?”
Yafe and the others could not hide their displeasure as they | on at Celena and Liam. Yafe had it the worst. Every tCelena showed up, whispers about his scandal and his unwed child w start. The looks he got were full of people delighting in his misfort
