Chapter 72
“You’re as disgusting as your mother. Both of you make me sick!” Sherah sneered at Celena with contempt.
Qemal could not hide his triumphant grin as he taunted Celena, “What does it matter if you’re talented, Celena, or if Grandpa likes you best? Dad’s only pleased with me and my sister. You’re nothing!”
His words hit Celena like thunder, sending a shiver down her spine.
“Why doesn’t anyone want me?” Celena sobbed, collapsing to the ground. “Grandpa, Dad… you’ve all abandoned me…” Her cries echoed through the room, and her body shook uncontrollably.
Jovie, hearing her mother’s sobs, wriggled free from Liam’s embrace and felt her way toward Celena. “Don’t cry, Mom! They’re the bad ones, not us. You’ve got me, Mom!” she cried.
Tears ‘streamed down Jovie’s cheeks as she tenderly wiped away her mother’s tears and patted her back in an attempt to comfort her.
Overwhelmed by her daughter’s empathy, Celena pulled Jovie into a tight embrace, as they cried together.
Liam watched on, his heart wrenching as if gripped by an unseen force.
“So, if I apologize, will you forgive Celena?” Liam asked, locking eyes with them.
Yafe, who had just started walking away, stopped dead in his tracks, spun around, and gave Liam a frosty stare. “Yes! What’s it to you? Are you ready to swallow your pride?”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Liam turned to Qemal with an icy look and said firmly, “I’m sorry.”

If the people back in the war zone had seen that, their jaws would hit the floor!
The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Dragon, the top dog of the mighty Cole clan, was apologizing to some small-time noble’s son, all for the sake of a woman!
Had Calum and his crew been there, Qemal would not stand a chance. Who would dare make their revered commander-in-chief bow? They would pay with their lives!
However, Liam was ready to do it because nothing mattered more to
him than Celena and Jovie.
“Liam… I’m sorry! It’s all my fault… All of it…”
