Nine Kings was a distinguished company in Swallowston that was considered one of the tops.The Cowells drove to Nine Kings in three separate cars and were beyond excited. After all, Liam was an influential person in Swallowston so it was a massive event for the Cowells to meet him.“Hahaha, Liam will treat us to the finest drinks for sure! Our family is truly impressive.” Francis could not refrain from chuckling in excitement as he sat in the car. He was convinced that Liam would feel more secure in the contract they signed with Bailar now that the Cowells had taken over.Clara said, “Francis is right. Liam will surely treat us with courtesy now that our status is different.”Next to her, Clara’s boyfriend, Simon smiled. “I heard talks about Liam. He’s fond of working with capable people.“On a side note, he nominated my family, the Blacks, as being capable in the past. He’ll certainly be very excited to host me today and to know that the Cowells and Blacks are working together.”

Soon, the sound of someone knocking on a door echoed. The Cowells had arrived.“Come in,” said June.The door opened. Violet walked into the office, cane in hand and in the lead of the other Cowells.Every member of the Cowells appeared spirited and elated.Violet said, “It’s been a long time since we last met, Liam.”Violet was acquainted with Liam as he used to be a nobody in the past and used to work for Channing.Following Violet’s opening remark, the rest of the Cowells introduced themselves.“Hello, Mr. Liam. My name is Nathan Cowell.”“I’m Hugo Cowell.”“Hello, Mr. Liam. My name is Francis Cowell. Hugo is my father,” said Francis.“Greetings, Mr. Liam. I’m Simon Black from the Black family,” said Simon.“Mr. Liam. I’m Simon’s fiancee,” said Clara.Liam was rather astounded by the Cowells’ slew of self-introduction. In his opinion, it was unnecessary for him to get acquainted with all these people.The Cowells were expecting Liam to show them the courtesy by offering

The Cowells blushed in shame as they were confronted by Liam’s unexpected inquiry.Violet’s face was scarlet in color. She claimed that Samantha had failed to pay back the money she owed and had pledged her company. Yet now, Liam had exposed her lie.Francis, Clara, and the others expressed their embarrassment too.Noticing that the Cowells had gone quiet, Liam smiled and said, “Judging by your expressions, I believe that I’m right about this.“Madam Violet, I’m not trying to criticize you. Mr. Channing has plenty of grandchildren, but the vast majority of them are useless. Samantha is the only Cowell who inherited Channing’s capabilities.”Liam shook his head. Any person with discerning eyes could see this.Violet was displeased by Liam’s remark and said, “Liam, this is our family’s private affair. Why are you meddling with other’s family affairs? Which one of my grandchildren is less capable than Samantha?”Francis said, “She’s right. Any of us is far more capable than her. To

Samantha had prepared a small gift for Cassey that was worth about three hundred dollars.The gift was considered to be a very significant one, especially when Samantha’s financial status was below standards.Cassey simply smiled and said, “You didn’t have to prepare me a gift. I’m happy enough that you’re here.”Cassey accepted the gift and passed it to Mario. “This is a gift from Sam, Mario. Could you please take care of it for me?”Mario smiled and hurled the gift into the trash bin without even looking at its contents, leaving Samantha stunned.She thought Cassey would come up with all sorts of ways to try and gain her attention, so she had not expected Mario to throw away her gift so casually.Next to her, Adrian was frowning away. He already knew that Mario was a downright *sshole the moment he threw their gift away.Cassey pulled at Samantha’s hand and said, “Come on. Let’s go inside. All of our classmates are already here.”Samantha allowed Cassey to pull her along with

Everyone was left flabbergasted by Adrian’s statement while Dickson and Mario looked at each other.Samantha too looked at Adrian in confusion, not understanding what he had just said.Everyone took a moment to process his words, and what followed was a huge round of laughter. They laughed so hard that they started tearing up.Mario even pointed at Adrian while laughing and said, “Hahaha! Did he just call us all poor little sh*ts? Does he have a few screws loose? How could we possibly be poor when we’ve got so much wealth?”“Bzzt, bzzt, bzzt…!”Mario’s phone instantly started ringing after he said that.Cassey said, “Your phone’s ringing, Mario.”With a nod, Mario fished it. He felt curious when he saw who it was. “It’s my father… Isn’t he here welcoming his friends and family?”“He must be looking for you for something important,” Cassey said.Mario knew something important had indeed happened, so he answered and said, “Yes, Father? Why are you—”“Where are you, you little r
