Everyone froze when they heard that, then glanced incredulously at a smug-looking Jovie and the unbothered Liam. Finally, everyone burst intolaughter.

"Do my ears deceive me? What did Celena's daughter say? Did she say she would buy out this entire shopping complex?""Like father, like daughter! I can’t believe she learned to lie at such a young age. She's inherited this from her father, no doubt!"

"Did you see that, Celena? This lying scum of a little girl is your daughter. How embarrassing! Come on... buy out the entire shopping complex? Idoubt you can even afford to buy a supermarket!"

"Tsk, how can a scumbag like Liam possibly afford an entire shopping complex? In your dreams!"

Not only did no one believe Jovie, but everyone even turned around and scolded her instead. Jovie, being the innocent child she was, trieddesperately to explain herself, but everyone's voices drowned out hers. Her face grew redder and redder with each exasperated attempt, until finally,she burst into tears.

She turned to Celena for reassurance but was met with Celena's puzzled and rather helpless expression. "Mom... I'm not lying... I'm a good girl... Iwould never lie... I'm telling the truth... Dad single-handedly beat up the bad people by himself... Mom, you have to believe me... I would never lie toyou...”

Celena was heartbroken to hear this, but she still turned to Jovie and said stemly, "Jovie, you have to be good. You shouldn't go on saying things thataren't true. I'll be very angry if you continue to do so."

With that, she reached out to pull Jovie into her arms. She did not believe Jovie and thought Jovie was just exaggerating.

‘Dad, I'm not lying. I woulé:never lie...

I'ma good girl..."

Liam smiled and stroked her head in reassurance. "I know you're a good girl, Jovie. You'll always be Daddy's little girl! You haven't forgotten ourpromise, have you? Whoever breaks the promise is a stinky pig!"

Jovie pursed her lips and nodded begrudgingly. "Of course I still remember...”

"That's great. Be a good girl, Jovie!”

Jovie nodded again reluctantly anddid not say another word. However,all she couldhink of was how naiveeveryoneaise was.

With that, he grabbed a rather concerned Celena's hand and stomped out of the room, leaving behind a group of furious people snarling at theirretreating figures.

Cheryl glared murderously at Liam and Celena's retreating figures, then turned to Reginald and said, “What are you doing, Grandpa? How can yougive in just like this? Our family's status is on the line!"
