My Invincible Husband Has Returned

Chapter 212

Celena was confused by the slap. She was on her knees with tears in her eyes. She looked at Reginald with grievance and said, "Grandpa, what happened? Why did you slap me?"

Reginald hit his walking stick hard on the ground. His face was sullen, and his eyes were filled with anger. He pointed at the BMW parked outside and bellowed, "Explain to me what's the deal with the car at the door? If you dare to lie at all, I'll beat you to death!"

Tears were streaming down Celena's face as she felt she was wronged. She forced herself to control her emotions and looked at Reginald. The handprint on her face was red as she replied with a grievance, "Grandpa, Liam bought that car."

"Hmph. Of course, he bought it. Let me ask you, then. He's just a soldier who has recently been discharged. Even if he got a bonus when he retired, it wouldn't be much. How could he have so much money to afford such an expensive car? Did he talk you into using the company's company to buy that car? I can spare you if you explain to me honestly now. Don't blame me for not holding back if you don't."

Reginald's gaze was harsh as he stared at Celena. His expression was incredibly darkened.

Sherah, who was spectating at the side, said, "Celena, why are you still lying for Liam? What's the point of you protecting him so much? Now that the matter has been exposed, he's hiding again, isn't he?

"You're such a fool. I've long told you that Liam is unreliable. But you just wouldn't listen. Look at you now. I think you should stop protecting him, if you ask me."

Qemal had a mocking expression as well. He sounded like he was gloating as he said, "Celena, are you still being stubborn? Embezzlement is punishable by jail time. Have you thought of Jovie if you were to go to jail for a loser like Liam?

"As your brother, I'll be kind and offer you a piece of advice. You have to think about the consequences. If you tell us everything, you'll just be an accessory to the crime. Liam is the mastermind. You wouldn't be held responsible in the end. Grandpa wouldn't let you go to jail either."

While Qemal was giving Celena his earnest advice, Yafe and Cheryl ran over in a rush. Once they saw Celena on her knees, Cheryl immediately went up to grab Celena's hair and slap her.

Then, she started shouting angrily, "Look at you, Celena. I was wondering why you'd put in so much effort and insist on snatching the project away from me. It seems that it's for your convenience to embezzle the company's money.

"Celena, that's bold of you. It's only been a few days, yet you already have the guts to do such a heinous thing. I'm going to kill you, you bitch!"

Cheryl was grabbing Celena's hair, and Celena was on her knees for a while. As she felt the pain on her scalp, her body gave way and she dropped to the ground.

Celena held her head in pain and explained while bawling her eyes out, "I didn't, Grandpa! Please believe me. I did not touch the company's money. I didn't embezzle it. Liam bought that car himself. He didn't urge me to steal the company's money nor did he order me to do anything that would wrong the Stone family.

"Grandpa, I'm begging you, please believe me. I didn't do it. I didn't embezzle the money. I didn't. Why won't you believe me?"

Celena kept defending herself in tears. At that moment, there was no way for her to refute Reginald's accusation against her. She felt as if she fell off a cliff. No matter how she explained, nobody around her believed her at all. They simply criticize her for betraying the family and embezzling the money.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
