My Invincible Husband Has Returned

Chapter 238

Yafe was perched on the couch, furiously jabbing a finger at Celena, his voice laced with anger and his mind racing with worry. The Fabish family, a big name in Drunham City's hotel scene, was neck and neck with the Stones, and they had ties that ran deep.

The Fabish family was not just any client; they were top-tier for the Stones. If they pulled the plug on their partnership, the Stones would take a serious hit.

Celena, her face a canvas of makeup trying to mask last night's bruises, could not quite hide the damage. Yafe's outburst left her looking like a deer in headlights, fear and anxiety written all over her.

Sherah let out a disdainful snort before laying into her, "Celena, you're nothing but trouble. Always rubbing people the wrong way! Lucky for us, Quim and Eaden, along with Mr. Wafer, are too busy with their own turf wars. Quim's behind bars now, thank goodness. If he weren't, with the way he operates, we'd be bracing for a storm of payback!"

Reginald's face clouded over as he realized the potential fallout. In an icy tone, he commanded, "Celena, I don't care how you do it, but you're going to apologize to the Fabish family today! If we lose their business over this and you can't get Samara's forgiveness, don't bother coming back."

Celena had been rattled the night before, stumbling home in a fog and not catching a wink of sleep. Then, after being summoned by Reginald's call, she was getting an earful from him and the others, her head pounding and her mind in a fog.

She had no clue what had happened after Liam whisked her away last night.

"Celena, snap out of it! Get moving and apologize to the Fabish family. We wouldn't be in this mess if it weren't for your blunder." Cheryl, seeing Celena's blank stare, was livid. She shot up from her chair, slammed her hand on the table, and berated her furiously.

Startled by Cheryl's outburst, Celena's whole body shook, and she turned ashen.

Deep down, Celena seethed with resentment. It was Samara who had orchestrated her humiliation and assault, and then she was expected to grovel for forgiveness? The thought was unbearable.

However, what could her resentment change? That was the harsh truth of reality.

As Celena rose, feeling defeated, an assistant burst through the door, panting, "Boss, boss, we've got trouble! Tucker's here. He looks like he's on the warpath!"

"What the heck?!"

"Wait, you're telling me Tucker from the Fabish family showed up himself?"

Yafe and Reginald blurted out together, shocked, as the assistant just gave a helpless nod.

Reginald's face twisted into a scowl, his eyes clouded with worry. He whipped around to face Celena, who looked like she had seen a ghost, and spat out, "Celena, you're nothing but bad news. Are you trying to take us down with you? Since you've been back, it's been one disaster after another for the Stones. We were never this cursed before you showed up!"

His anger boiled over, and he jabbed a finger at Celena, letting loose a tirade of insults. Cheryl jumped at the chance to kick Celena while she was down, smirking as she said, "Grandpa, it's obvious Celena's the problem. She's a walking disaster. Ever since she dragged that kid and Liam into our lives, it's been nothing but trouble. Maybe it's time to show them the door, save ourselves from more headaches."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
