My Invincible Husband Has Returned

Chapter 23

At this exact moment, Liam arrived just in time to see Cheryl slapping Celena across the face and Celena slumping onto the ground in a crumpled heap.novelbin

He felt his blood boil and wanted nothing more than to snap Cheryl's arm right in half. The moment he saw that, he leaped out of the car before it even stopped and sprinted toward them.

No one was allowed to treat Celena like this!

Cheryl raised her arm above her head, poised to give another slap, when all of a sudden someone swatted her arm away so forcefully that she staggered backward. Finally, she lost her balance and plopped onto the ground, right in the middle of the puddle of wastewater!

"Ahhh-" she shrieked in disgust. Her hands were now covered in wastewater, and she was even more infuriated by the sight of Jacob standing to one side, his mouth agape in shock. "Are you an idiot? How can you stand there like that while someone else picks on your girlfriend?"

Jacob finally snapped out of his stupor. He stared at Cheryl, wanting to help her up, but hesitated at the sight of her covered in wastewater. Finally, after some contemplation, he gritted his teeth and helped her anyway. "Don't be mad at me, Cheryl. I was just shocked, that's all!"

"You're useless! You couldn't even protect your woman! Useless twat!" Cheryl shrieked like a banshee. She witnessed Jacob's hesitation in helping her and was extremely displeased by this. How dare he treat the heiress of the Stone family like this?

Liam held Celena in his arms and cast Cheryl a steely look. "How dare you do this to her? I want you and every single member of your family to beg her for mercy, or else!"

"You? Who the hell do you think you are, ordering us around like this?" Cheryl shoved Jacob aside and stepped forward, intending to give this man a piece of her mind. However, she was stopped short by the malicious look in Liam's eyes. She did not dare to even move.

This man was terrifying!

Liam was staring at Cheryl as though she were already dead and was a rotting carcass in front of him. She shuddered at this and could not help taking a small step backward in fear.

Celena finally could not hold it in anymore and went limp right in Liam's arms. The blood from her forehead already soaked through Liam's clothes, not to mention the bleeding wound on her right shoulder.

Liam began to panic. "Celena! Celena! Are you okay? Hold on, I'm bringing you back!"

The sight of this made Liam's blood boil once more. He turned to Cheryl and shouted, "Very well, Stone family! We will meet again!"

With that, he turned and carried Celena back to the Jeep, ignoring Cheryl entirely.

Cheryl finally snapped out of her stupor, but the Jeep had already begun to pull away. She pointed in the direction of the retreating car and screamed, "Stop! How dare you treat me like this on my property! Help! Someone seize him!"

Jacob quickly caught her and said, "Cheryl, as long as he remains in Drunham City, you'll have plenty of opportunities to get your revenge. Why don't you go get showered and changed first?"

Despite almost suffocating from the stench of the wastewater, he still stifled his disgust and put his arm around Cheryl's shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll send someone to find out where they live. Once you're ready, we'll go get our revenge on them!"

Cheryl finally registered the reek of the wastewater on her clothes and gagged. "That bitch! It's all Celena's fault! She brought a man over just to taunt us! Wait till we get her back!"
