My Invincible Husband Has Returned

Chapter 74

The room fell into a stunned silence at his introduction.

“The young master of the Abbott family himself! Cheryl’s luck is unbelievable!”

“Indeed! The Abbotts are a leading family among Drunham City’s elite,

and their corporation is a powerhouse with wealth to match!”

“Watch Cheryl strut now. She’s just been snubbed by the Hughes family, and now she’s rubbing shoulders with the Abbotts!”

Wasyl stood with an air of superiority, casting a dismissive glance at the lesser families gathered in the hall. Their mere presence seemed

like an unwelcome reminder of the social ladder he stood atop.

Cheryl basked in the attention and envious stares from the crowd, her vanity swelling with pride.

“Hahaha, thank you!”

Reginald chuckled as he accepted the ornate box. Upon opening it, he found an expensive multivitamin inside, eliciting gasps of

amazement from the onlookers.

Cheryl seized the moment to introduce, “Grandpa, this is an expensive multivitamin from a renowned wellness center that Mr. Abbott bought

in San Jemison. It’s known for increasing one’s lifespan!”

Reginald, feeling the weight of his years, was all too aware of his mortality. The promise of increasing his lifespan through the

multivitamin brought a grin so wide that his eyes nearly disappeared into joyful creases.

Wasyl’s thoughtful gift had won Reginald’s heart, earning him a coveted spot right beside the old man.

Wasyl offered a few modest words before confidently claiming his seat, stirring a wave of jealousy among the Stone family’s younger

set.

However, envy was futile. Wasyl was the esteemed son of the Abbott family, with all the prestige that entailed.

At that moment, Yafe and Sherah entered with Celena’s family of

three in tow.

“Isn’t that Celena? Why is she coming in with the head of the Stone family?”

“Isn’t that Liam next to Celena? What’s going on… Why are they here today?”

“Celena’s got some gall. She nearly gave Reginald a heart attack a few years back, and now she’s here with Liam in tow! Has she forgotten what Liam pulled off just days ago?”

Celena must have brought Liam and that illegitimate child there on purpose, thought one of the guests with a sneer. “After Reginald kicked her out of the family, she became nothing but spiteful.”

Whispers and snickers from the crowd made Celena bow her head her gaze dropping to her shoes as tears blurred her vision.

The relentless jeers and spiteful guesses of the onlookers sent her mind spinning, leaving her at a loss on how to confront their insults.

For seven long years, she had faced disdain and shame, all while raising Jovie on her own. The Stone family had offered no support, only casting her out, hurting her even more.

All because of the man beside her.

Lost in thought, Celena’s pace slowed, her mind a whirlwind of confusion. Before she knew it, she had drifted away from Liam. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
