My Invincible Husband Has Returned novel Chapter 146

Cheryl clutched her face, pain and shock rendering her speechless.

Moments later, fury replaced her shock. She glared up at Liam and bellowed, "Liam! How dare you... how dare you hit me! This is the Stone family's territory. Do you dare to strike me here? Get out, all of you! Take that little bastard with you and get out of the Stone family's house!"

Liam towered over her, his gaze icy and sharp enough to cut through the hysteria. A hint of lethal intent flickered in his eyes as he spoke with chilling calm, "Mind your language. What's it to you if I hit you? I'm not just brave enough to hit you—I could kill you if I pushed to it."

Gurgle!

His words struck Cheryl like a bolt of lightning, reverberating through her core.

She watched Liam approach, step by deliberate step, and to her, he might as well have been the Grim Reaper himself, come to drag her to hell.

His eyes were terrifying, his presence overwhelming.

"What are you doing? Stay back... I'm Grandpa's darling granddaughter. If you kill me, I swear, Celena will pay dearly. My grandpa, my parents, they won't let her off easy!"

Cheryl's eyes widened with fear as Liam advanced toward her, her feet inching backward in a futile attempt to escape.

Celena, realizing the gravity of the situation, dashed forward and grabbed Liam, who was on a collision course with Cheryl. She shook her head vigorously, pleading, "Liam, please, think this through! If you hurt Cheryl now, Grandpa will hold you responsible!"

Liam halted, his gaze softening as he took in Celena's tear-stained cheeks. He gently caressed her face, his anger giving way to concern. "It looks painful, it's so swollen."
