My Invincible Husband Has Returned

Chapter 241

Celena's heart was heavy with a sense of injustice and a fierce unwillingness to yield, but faced with the combined pressure from the Stone family and Tucker, she swallowed her pride, tears betraying her as she moved to bow her head in defeat.

However, before she could lower herself, Tucker's hand shot out, gripping her arm with a look of sheer panic. "Ms... Ms. Stone, what are you doing? It's my daughter, Samara, who should be apologizing to you!" he exclaimed.

The crowd watched, stunned, as Tucker yanked Samara forward, his voice thundering, "Well? What are you waiting for? Apologize to Ms. Stone, now!"

Samara, haunted by the terror Liam had instilled in her the night before, could only tremble at the mere thought of him. Stripped of her usual defiance and bravado, she bowed deeply to Celena, her voice breaking, "Celena, no... Ms. Stone, I'm so sorry! I messed up yesterday. I was foolish, please forgive me! Can't you forgive me, Celena? For old times' sake, please?" Her tears flowed as she pleaded, her gaze fixed on Celena, who remained unmoved.

The thought of Liam's warning and the dire consequences that might follow if she did not receive Celena's forgiveness sent Samara into a genuine, heart-wrenching sob. It was clear she was terrified of what might happen if she did not earn Celena's mercy.

"Celena, Celena, please, I'm begging you to forgive me, you have to... sob... If you don't forgive me, I don't know how I'll go on, please..." NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

The onlookers exchanged bewildered glances, none more so than Cheryl. She had been eagerly anticipating Celena's comeuppance at the hands of Samara, but that was an unexpected twist.

"Ms. Fabish, isn't this... I thought you were here to lay down the law?" Cheryl blurted out.

"Exactly, what in the world is happening? Wasn't Mr. Fabish supposed to confront Celena with Ms. Fabish in tow?"

"I'm just as lost. Why is Samara apologizing to Celena and begging for forgiveness? Could it be that Mr. Fabish's visit today was actually to apologize to Celena, not to call her out?"

"After this apology, what's there to question? Mr. Fabish clearly came to make amends..."

Cheryl bit her lip, fury and resentment boiling as she glared at Celena.

Celena was meant to cross the Fabish family, to be called out by them, and ultimately kicked to the curb by the Stone family?

However, then the tables had turned. The chairman of the Fabish family had shown up with Samara to say sorry!

Why did Celena always land on her feet?

Why?!

Cheryl's inner screams echoed in her mind, her eyes seething with rage. She despised how Celena seemed to always stumble into good fortune at the eleventh hour.

Samara remained rooted to the spot, her head bowed in deference, as Tucker clapped his hand once. His entourage, a dozen strong, swung open the lids of their boxes to unveil a treasure trove of jewelry, each piece a shining example of designer luxury.

The eyes of many women in the room were captivated by the glittering display.
