My Invincible Husband Has Returned novel Chapter 136

Just as Reginald was about to call the meeting to an end, a familiar voice rang out from a corner of the room.

Liam stood up then, pulled a bewildered-looking Celena out of her chair, and asked, "Celena, you are the mastermind behind this project, so are you going to allow someone else to take it out of your hands? No one else can take anything away from you if you don't let them, and I won't allow them to do so either!"

The entire room fell silent.

Cheryl immediately leaped to her feet and pointed indignantly at Liam and Celena, "Liam, this has nothing to do with you! You have no right to dictate what our family does! You're just an outsider, and you shouldn't stick your nose into our business! Besides, what does Celena know about this project anyway? She shouldn't take over something she's not familiar with!"

Sherah, too, stood up in fury and snapped, "Shut up, Liam Cole! You're just an orphan, and it's already kind enough of us Stones to take you in, so you'd better stick to only what you know and mind your own business. You have no right to intrude in the way our family does business!"

Seeing that Sherah was about to get into an angry dispute with Liam and Celena, Teresa added rather indignantly, "Hey, Sherah, it sounds like there's a lot of drama going on among your family members. Are you even sure Cheryl can handle this project well with everything that's going on? You remember what Dad said—you wouldn't want Cheryl to get into trouble!"

"Teresa is right! How can you ignore Celena just like that? Didn't you say that Celena was the one who even got us the collaboration opportunity in the first place? If so, why are you handing the entire project over to Cheryl when she didn't even do anything? If anything the responsibility should be shared between Celena and Cheryl. I think you're just biased toward Cheryl. You could care less about Celena, but remember—Cheryl's going to leave you in the end when she gets married off to her husband!"

The color drained from Cheryl and Sherah's faces. They both turned to stare at Reginald, both worried that he would change his mind after hearing this. To their dismay, Reginald appeared deep in thought, contemplating this.

Cheryl and Sherah exchanged worried glances. Things did not appear to be going as they wished!
