My Invincible Husband Has Returned

Chapter 242

Celena was still reeling, her mind a whirlwind of confusion. She had braced herself for a confrontation, believing Samara had brought Tucker to her doorstep to settle a score. However, as she looked at Samara, tears streaming down her face, the resentment and anger that had simmered in Celena's heart began to dissipate. There they were, Samara and Tucker, offering apologies. Despite everything, the bonds of their childhood friendship tugged at her heartstrings. With a mix of emotions playing across her face, Celena finally spoke.

"Samara, I... I forgive you."

Tucker chose that moment to step forward, bowing deeply. "Ms. Stone, please accept this as a small gesture of my sincerity. Samara's youthful indiscretion is to blame, and I'm grateful for your graciousness in not holding it against her. Your kindness is truly appreciated."

He was the picture of sincerity, his bow so deep it was hard to reconcile with the image of a powerful chairman.

Samara, hearing Celena's words of forgiveness, quickly dried her tears and stood tall, repeatedly bowing in thanks. Celena's forgiveness meant she was in the clear. Liam would not come after her then.

Had Celena withheld her forgiveness, it would not just be Samara facing trouble, but the entire Fabish family would be at risk.

"Mr. Fabish, what brought you here to apologize so unexpectedly?"

Celena eyed them suspiciously, her mind racing. Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, she pressed on, "Was it someone who sent you? Who was it? Can you tell me who it was that sent you here!?"

Tucker tensed up at her words, clearly hesitant. Before he could muster a response, Samara could not help herself and blurted out.

"It was Liam..."

"Shut up!! Why are you spouting nonsense? Go stand over there!"

Tucker cut her off sharply, giving her a warning glare that sent a shiver down her spine.

Samara clamped her mouth shut and shrank back, not daring to utter another word.

With Samara silenced, Tucker quickly turned on the charm for Celena, offering a smile as he said, "Ms. Stone, please don't get the wrong idea. No one sent us. I've looked into the situation, and it's clear Samara was at fault. As her father, I can't let her repeat her mistakes, so I've brought her here to apologize to you."

Tucker's explanation did not quite ring true, but Celena, though puzzled, did not push for more information.

After Tucker and Samara had apologized repeatedly and left some lavish gifts, they finally took their leave. The Stone family's employees erupted in a buzz of conversation when they were out the door.

"What's the deal? Wasn't Mr. Fabish supposed to come and give Celena a piece of his mind? Why's he showing up with fancy gifts to say sorry?"

"Can you believe it? Mr. Fabish, of all people, humbling himself like this, coming in person with his daughter to say sorry!" Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"I'm lost on what he's playing at, but hey, as long as our company isn't losing any clients, who cares if he's here to apologize or point fingers?"

"True, but it doesn't erase the fact that Celena's like a walking disaster. I can't fathom why she'd even come back to the Stone family. She's nothing but trouble from the moment she steps foot here!"

Tucker was not there to stir up trouble, but Reginald's expression was still thunderous, his eyes frosty as he stared at Celena. With a disapproving huff, he warned, "Celena, you better keep it together! Don't you dare do anything else to embarrass the Stone family. I'll let today slide, but if you mess up again, don't expect me to be nice!"

With those words, Reginald took the expensive jewelry Tucker had brought and left.
