Jovie was just a child, after all. Of course, she would be terrified by everyone who had turned against her and her family!
Jovie began to hiccup, and Liam immediately patted her back reassuringly. "Don't be scared, Jovie. Dad is here, and nothing bad will happen to us! Don't worry!"
Wasyl sneered. It was playing out exactly the way he had planned it. He pointed at Liam, Celena, and Jovie, then shouted, "Guards! Lock them up! They're trying to commit fraud, but we won't let them get away with this!"
All of a sudden, heavy boot-clad footsteps sounded, and four soldiers with guns appeared in front of them, all pointing their barrels straight at Liam.
Everyone instinctively stepped back for fear of getting caught in this imminent fight.
The man leading the team was a Second Class Sergeant in a military green suit. He stared coldly at Liam, then snatched the two different invitations out of Wasyl's hand and scrutinized them.
"How dare you attempt to sneak into this sacred venue with a fake invitation? This is fraud at its highest degree!" the sergeant barked after checking the two invitations.
The Stones were all so frightened that they felt their knees go weak. It was all Liam's fault! They would not have gotten their hands on fake invitations if it were not for Liam! What were they going to do?
"Damn it! How are we going to get out of this? We're certainly going to get punished, and perhaps we'll even have to serve the death penalty for this! It's all that wretched Liam's fault!"
