My Invincible Husband Has Returned

Chapter 22

The man next to Cheryl smirked and asked, “My love, is this that shameless sister of yours that you’ve told me about? Well well.”

The man gave Celena a once-over. He had to admit that Celena was indeed a stunner; it was no wonder she was known as the most beautiful woman in Drunham City. Even though she gave birth, her figure was still as slender as ever, with curves in all the right places.

Cheryl scoffed when she saw her boyfriend leering at Celena and snapped, “What’s wrong? Are you interested in my sister, Jacob?”

Jacob immediately turned away from Celena and snaked his arm around Cheryl’s shoulder, gazing at her tenderly. “Of course not, my love! How can I be interested in someone like her when I’ve only got eyes for you? Besides, you’re much more beautiful than her!”

No woman could resist being praised like this, much less Cheryl, who was undermined by Celena’s beauty all her life. No matter what she did, Celena could do it better, and thus Cheryl always lived under her sister’s shadow.

“Tsk! I know you’re just lying to appease me!” Despite that, the grin on Cheryl’s face proved otherwise.

Celena fell onto her knees and stared with red-rimmed eyes at the two people standing before her. She knew that Cheryl was deliberately humiliating her, but since she was already here, she had Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

o choice but to do as Cheryl said. She could not possibly give up!

She got onto her knees and began pleading for Cheryl’s mercy, and even brought her forehead to the ground multiple times for good measure. With every knock of her forehead against the

pavement, more and more blood oozed out until her face was soon covered in blood. “Please, Cheryl, let me go in and see Grandpa! I want to see

Grandpa!”

Cheryl stared from her towering height at her sister and snapped,” That’s enough! I can’t lay my eyes on you any longer! What a disgusting sight! If you did everything as I said and got an abortion all those years ago, you wouldn’t even be in this state right now! if you took my advice, our family wouldn’t have become the laughingstock of the town!”

Celena lifted her head shakily as blood oozed down her cheekbones.” Can I go in now, Cheryl?” this one question took all the strength out of Celena. She was now so weak that it was as though a gust of wind could blow her away at any moment. However, the thought of helping Liam pushed her through. She had no other choice!

The next moment, a bucketful of bone-chillingly cold wastewater rained onto Celena without warning. The water sent a twinge of excruciating pain through the bullet wound in Celena’s shoulder.

By this time, Cheryl already stepped away from Celena and was holding her nose in disgust. “How dare you say you want to see Grandpa? Remember, you’ve been banished from the Stone family, and if anything, he’s Mr. Stone to you now!”

However, pouring dirty water onto Celena was not enough. Every

nat second spent looking at Celena’s face was like torture to Cheryl, and she st

stepped forward to give Celena a hard slap across her face. “Get out of here, you whore

I’m the rightful heiress of the Stone family! How dare you say you want to see my grandfather? You have nothing

do with this family anymore!”

ena was so weak that she crumpled onto the ground with Cheryl’s p and could not even get up. Her entire body felt so heavy.

Celena’s vision began to blur, and even Cheryl’s voice seemed to be getting smaller and smaller. She muttered, “I’m so tired, Liam.”
