Chapter 136

Just as Reginald was about to call the meeting to an end, a familiar voice rang out from a corner of the room.

Liam stood up then, pulled a bewildered-looking Celena out of her chair, and asked, "Celena, you are the mastermind behind this project, so are you going to allow someone else to take it out of your hands? No one else can take anything away from you if you don't let them, and I won't allow them to do so either!"
