My Invincible Husband Has Returned
Chapter 75

Chapter 75

Fear gripped her. She dreaded that tonight’s event might turn into a repeat of the ordeal from seven years ago, with the same vicious gossip and judgment. She was scared that Liam might once again make her the Stone family’s scapegoat.

Those thoughts alone sent her heart into a frenzy.

Just then, a comforting, strong hand gently enveloped her frigid, trembling one.

Celena’s head snapped up, looking at Liam. Liam’s striking features and his bright, steadfast gaze were brimming with affection as he looked at her. “Celena, don’t be scared. I’m right here,” Liam whispered.

It shattered the walls around Celena’s heart. The chaos within was suddenly wrapped in a comforting warmth, and tears streamed down her cheeks as her small hand clung to Liam’s with all her might.

That’s right, he was with her. She was not facing the world alone anymore, and a newfound strength blossomed in Celena’s heart.

At that moment, a piercing female voice cut through the hall, mak the atmosphere even more oppressive. The glares aimed at Cele turned sharper.

“Celena! What are you doing here? Why did you bring Liam? Came to gloat over my troubles, did you? Haven’t you done enough damage to the Stone family? You’ve already wrecked my engagement party, and now you’re here with him, stirring up trouble at Grandpa’s birthday, just to upset him, right?”

Cheryl had been watching their arrivals closely. Upon seeing Celena, her face twisted with rage as she bore down on the three of them

with her furious stare.

She had been waiting for that moment to confront the woman she despised.

Cheryl was convinced that Celena, given any opportunity, would show up despite her despicable deeds. Celena would still harbor hope of returning to the Stone family, hoping to win Grandpa’s favor.

Cheryl was seething with a vengeance. She was going to make Celena pay and crush her pride beneath her feet. The nerve of her, to manipulate Liam into wrecking Cheryl’s engagement party, turning her into Drunham City’s laughing stock. Even today, people were snickering behind her back. That was a pill too bitter to swallow.

Celena and Liam both flinched at Cheryl’s biting comeback. Celena hastily produced the ripped invitation, asking, “Sister, did you send me

this?”

The sound of Cheryl’s heels echoed sharply as she marched up to Celena, fury and contempt written all over her face. With a swift motion, she slapped Celena hard. She looked so angry, as if she

wished she could rip her apart.

“Please, if you’re going to make up a story, at least make it believable! Me, send an invite to you, a pariah kicked out by the Stone family? Do you think I’d invite you after you spurred Liam to sabotage my engagement? You probably faked this invite yourself!”

With that, Cheryl snatched the invitation from Celena’s grasp, flung it to the floor, and stamped on it with disdain.

The whole spectacle unfolded before the eyes of the guests, leaving the Stone family speechless. Then, the jeers and taunts rained down.

“Celena, the troublemaker! Hasn’t she done enough damage to the Stone family? Now she’s here to cause more chaos, utterly revolting!”

“Exactly! Forging an invite as if anyone in the Stone family would want her there?”

“The Stone family certainly doesn’t harbor the likes of them, and yet here they are, bringing the Cole family’s black sheep and that little illegitimate child right to their front door! Has Celena lost her mind? She already wreaked havoc at the engagement party, and now she’s stirring up trouble at Grandpa’s birthday celebration!”
