My Invincible Husband Has Returned novel Chapter 137

A determined look crossed Celena's face at this realization. She squeezed Liam's hand in appreciation and took a deep breath before stepping forward and gazing at Reginald. "Grandpa, I don't agree with your decision to hand the project over to Cheryl! I was the one who obtained this opportunity in the first place—Max Group chose me because they believed in me! Therefore, you shouldn't put Cheryl in charge of this project. I demand to be included as well!"

When they heard this, both Teresa and Samatha, Sawyer's mother, piped up unanimously, "Anna should be involved in this as well!"

"I think Sawyer deserves a chance too!"

Cheryl's face was twisted in an angry grimace. She stomped over to Celena, her heels click-clacking furiously on the ground, and pointed at her rudely as she snarled, "You don't agree with Grandpa's decision? Have you gone crazy? You know nothing about business, so how can you even ask to be included in this project? Are you planning to ruin everything?"

"I can learn," Celena replied rather meekly, intimidated by Cheryl's rude accusations. She instinctively took a step back in fear, but all of a sudden, she felt a hand wrap around her waist from behind.

It was Liam!

He held her in his arms, staring coldly at Cheryl, and said, "I would like it if you showed my wife some respect! Have you forgotten that she was the one who landed us the opportunity to collaborate with Max Group in the first place? How dare you deny her right to be included in a project that is essentially her brainchild? She's the only reason we even got this chance in the first place! She has all the right in the world to dictate who gets to be included in this! If you don't think she should be in charge, then none of you will even get to work with Max Group at all!"

Reginald's expression darkened, and he contemplated this for a moment, then finally declared, "Okay, my decision is final! I have decided that Celena should also be in charge of this project, considering she was the one who even brought it in in the first place! Therefore, both Celena and Cheryl will co-manage this project together!"

"But Grandpa," Cheryl stomped her foot in indignation. She was about to continue, but Reginald stopped her. "Although I have decided to let Celena participate as well, I think Cheryl's concerns are valid. Therefore, I'll assess the two of you at the same time for the sake of fairness. Each of you will have to come up with a business proposal and distribute it among the company employees anonymously so that everyone can vote for the one they think is best! The one with the most votes will earn the title of being the sole project director! Celena, Cheryl, and Liam—do you agree with this idea?"

Looks of realization crossed Cheryl, Sherah, and Yafe's faces when they heard this. Immediately their expressions turned from concern to delight. The fact that Reginald decided to carry out this "assessment" proved that he still favored Cheryl and was allowing her a chance to prove herself as the rightful project director!
