My Invincible Husband Has Returned

Chapter 217

"Mr. Stone, there's nothing wrong at all with the company's finances."

Reginald glared at Sherah and Qemal unhappily upon hearing that. After all this ruckus, it was all nonsense made up by the two of them. He could not stand the shame, so he stood up with a frown and shouted, "Let's go!"

Knowing that the drama was coming to an end, the crowd also prepared to leave.

However, Liam took a step forward and stopped Reginald before he could leave. He looked at him tauntingly and asked in a cold voice, "Reginald, you're not leaving just like that, are you? Are you just going to let Celena be unjustly accused by you guys? And did Celena and Jovie get beaten for nothing?"

Reginald stopped in his tracks. He looked up at Liam indifferently and sneered. "Hmph! It was with great kindness on my part that I allowed her back into the family. She should already count her blessings! If she still doesn't know how to be grateful, then don't blame me for being heartless."

When he finished, Reginald left with his people without looking back.

The crowd left just as quickly as they came. Soon, only Celena, who was still crying with Jovie in her arms, and the dumbfounded Liam were left at the cottage.

"Celena, I'm sorry. I didn't think that buying a car for you would bring so much trouble." Liam said with guilt. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

He was blaming himself. All he wanted was to buy a car for Celena so she did not need to endure the crowded bus every day. He did not think that it would cause so much trouble.

Celena looked up and wiped away her tears. She took a deep breath and looked at Liam with conflicting emotions. It was a mixture of love and hate.

Then, she said in a hoarse voice, "Liam, I thought I made it clear to you yesterday that there's nothing between us. There's no need for you to protect me at every turn, and I don't need you to butt in my matters."

"But, Celena, you're my wife and Jovie is my daughter. I want to protect the two of you. I know this was all caused by me, and it was because of me that you had to raise Jovie on your own for a few years. Please believe me, as long as I live, I will do everything I can to protect the two of you and I won't let anyone bully you again!" Liam said anxiously.

He desperately wanted to explain to her that things were not like what she said.

"Is that so?"

Celena looked at Liam seriously. Her tear-streaked face looked heartbreaking.

She asked, "Can you tell me clearly what have you been doing all these years? Tell me your real identity. You make me feel like you're a stranger to me. So, could you tell me what you, the father of my daughter, my husband, actually do for a living?"

Liam stood in place in silence. He contemplated and struggled internally for a long time. He did not want to keep Celena in the dark, but he still had a lot of things to settle and this would have a riptide effect on a lot of parties. There were too many uncertainties within this period.

Although he had enough power to protect himself, he did not dare to risk it when it came to Celena and Jovie.

He could not be with them at all times. At that moment, he could not mobilize the Pendragon Warriors to Drunham City in a high-profile manner, much less arrange for the Cole family to come over. That would alert the people who were involved.

Seeing that Liam stayed silent, Celena tried her best to stop her tears from falling from her swollen eyes. She was completely disappointed that he chose to remain silent.

"Since you're not willing to tell me, then forget it. I won't force you to do it. I just want to tell you that I can support myself and raise Jovie on my own. Even without you, Jovie and I can live happily. If you care about us, then spend more time with Jovie. What I needed was never you buying cars or anything else for me, but-"
