Chapter 98
Reginald’s heart clenched as he saw Qemal’s battered form. He adored his two grandsons to bits, and it pained him to see one hurt. Furious, he exclaimed, “Celena has really crossed the line this time!” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Reginald, you can’t let this slide! Celena’s got it out for our Stone family. She doesn’t give a shit about us and even less about you! We didn’t even get a foot in the door today before the security threw us out like trash! Reginald, you’ve got to do something…”
Sherah’s tears flowed, her face the very picture of sorrow. A woman in her prime, her beauty and style only made her distress more touching.
Reginald’s face darkened with anger as he turned to the silent Yafe and demanded, “What in the world happened?”
Yafe let out a long sigh, a look of defeat in his eyes. “Dad, it went down just like Sherah said. We got to the villa’s gate today and got stopped dead in our tracks. We didn’t even see anyone, much less set foot inside! I bet they’re playing hardball, wanting you to show up, or
else we’re not seeing a soul…”
With a loud thud, Reginald’s hand came crashing down on the table, sending the teacup flying! He pounded his cane on the floor, his voice thundering with fury, “Alright, alright! The world’s gone mad! Well, I’m going to see if Celena really expects me, this old man, to come knocking and grovel for her to return home!”
Without another word, Reginald led the Stone family members on a
beeline to Jade Manor.
The moment Reginald said that it rippled through the Stone family, leaving everyone utterly stunned.

“Hot off the press! Did you hear? Reginald went to see Celena himself!

“For real? Reginald actually went? Celena must have some serious clout to make Reginald eat humble pie!”
“It’s even bigger than that. I heard Yafe and his family went to apologize in person and got the door slammed in their faces before they could even step inside! Celena’s got a frigid heart!”
“Please! Everyone knows Sherah is the home-wrecker who climbed to the top, and Qemal is her kid, not Celena’s blood brother. As if they’d get an audience!”
“Let me tell you, this has Liam written all over it. Celena’s been dying to get back with the Stones. Now that they’re rolling out the red
carpet, she’d better grab it with both hands! It’s got to be Liam’s doing. The nerve of that guy, once top dog and now down on his luck, to stand up to the Stones like that!”
The Stone family was all buzzed, eagerly awaiting the fallout from Reginald’s upcoming rendezvous with Celena.
Meanwhile, Reginald and his entourage made a beeline for Jade
Manor. They barely stepped out of their cars when the splendor of the place hit them like a ton of bricks.
It was ridiculously opulent!
“Does Celena actually live here?”
“Wow! This is next level! Celena’s shacked up in a place that could give the Stones’ own mansion a run for their money!”
