My Invincible Husband Has Returned novel Chapter 239

The memory of Liam turning on her in the yard still burned, making her grind her teeth in anger. She had been waiting for the right moment, and when it had come knocking, she was ready to make Celena pay.

Reginald let out a derisive snort and sprang to his feet. "What are you all gawking at? Get moving and welcome Mr. Tucker Fabish!"

He led the way as Yafe and the rest scrambled up and dashed for the door.

Meanwhile, the Stone family's kin was laying into Celena, convinced that Tucker's visit was nothing but trouble. They pinned the blame squarely on Celena, the supposed instigator.

"If it weren't for that jinx, Celena, why would we be dragged to the office at the crack of dawn?"

"It's worse than that. Now Mr. Fabish is on our doorstep, ready to call us out. Thanks to Celena, the Stone family's going to be the joke of Drunham City before long!"

"She's got some nerve, sticking around the Stone family. If I were her, I'd have skedaddled a long time ago, not hung around without a shred of shame, stirring up trouble every now and then!"

As the curses rained down, some went out of their way to bump or shove Celena as they passed. Bruised from yesterday's beating, every step was agony for her, and a particularly vicious shove sent her tumbling to the floor.

"She's nothing but a liability!"

Reginald paused to cast a look of revulsion at the fallen Celena. He strode off without another word.
