Semua Bab My Invincible Husband Has Returned: Bab 1291 - Bab 1300

Wasyl could not help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. "What are you even talking about? That guy? He's just a nobody. And Mr. Gibson? As if Liam, the deadbeat who married into the family, could get someone like him to show up. He's just trying to look important and get under your skin. It's so obvious, can't you tell?"Cheryl caught on quickly, but the reminder made her pout. She snuggled up to Wasyl, her soft hand playfully swaying his arm. "Honey, can you believe Liam and Celena? They're so mean, saying things just to provoke us! You have to make this right for me! I heard Mr. Gibson will be in Drunham City for a few days. You've got to meet him, convince him to design my wedding dress. Imagine us at our wedding, me in a Gibson original. Think about what that would do for the Stone and Abbott families' reputation in Drunham City."Wasyl knew all too well the spotlight that would shine on them if his bride wore a Spencer Gibson on their big day, possibly even catapulting them t

Then, like a plot twist, another tidbit hit the grapevine, steering all the wild guesses away from the King Pendragon.Word on the street was that Spencer's tour to Drunham City was all for a VIP's upcoming wedding. That high-roller had rolled out the red carpet for Spencer himself to whip up a wedding dress for his soon-to-be missus!That scoop had everyone's tongues wagging—just who was that VIP?Getting Spencer to design a dress was a dead giveaway of the guy's clout.Let's not forget the ladies, green with envy over the mystery bride who had snagged a Gibson original, a sure sign of her beau's adoration.By the time Cheryl breezed back into the Stone family's corporate halls from the airport, the buzz was all about the enigmatic bigwig and his veiled bride-to-be.Cheryl overheard the whispers and could not resist. She straightened up, walked confidently to the cluster of gossiping colleagues, and announced with a hint of smugness, "I've just returned from the airport..."Her

"Got the picture of how big a deal Mr. Gibson is? Listen up, at the wedding on the 28th, I'll be the one turning heads in a Gibson original. I'll be the bride everyone's talking about, while you, Celena, will just fade into the background."And Celena, no offense, but lady luck sure isn't on your side. Seven years back, Liam left you with more than just a broken heart, and the Stones showed you the door. Now, you're planning your little redo wedding on the same day as mine? What kind of show can you possibly put on based on what you've got?"I can tell Liam isn't too concerned about you either, picking that date on purpose. He's practically setting you up for a fall. And let's be real, with the kind of buzz you and Liam have around you, throwing a make-up wedding is just asking for trouble. If I were in your shoes, I'd skip the whole thing rather than make a spectacle of myself!"Cheryl unleashed a torrent of words, not letting Celena get a word in edgewise, her snooty attitude beli

Wasyl, basking in the glow of everyone's praise, remained composed, even throwing in a humble brag here and there. However, behind his aw-shucks demeanor, he was practically bursting with pride.Celena, perched quietly on the sidelines, watched Cheryl soak up all that envy-worthy attention. A twinge of jealousy hit, sure, but she was too thankful for Liam's gesture, a do-over wedding to make up for lost time, to make a fuss.Liam, right by Celena's side, could not help but chuckle at Wasyl and Cheryl's antics. Shameless was one thing, but that? They were really pushing it. Did they ever stop to think about the epic face-plant waiting for them if their charade came crashing down in front of the whole city?As the compliments started to die down, Wasyl geared up for a toast with Reginald.Liam, who had been quiet the whole time, suddenly broke the silence, "Wasyl, are you claiming Mr. Gibson came to Drunham City to design a wedding dress at your invitation?"His words cast a chill o

Liam's words instantly made the atmosphere unbearably awkward!Reginald, in particular, was livid. His grip on his cane tightened until his knuckles turned white, and he trembled with rage as he pointed a finger at Liam and roared, "You... you... you've crossed the line!! This is the Stone household. Do you have no respect for our rules?"Celena, who had been quietly crying, jerked her head up, her eyes brimming with tears, one still hanging on like it did not want to fall.She reached under the table and gave Liam's arm a desperate, gentle tug, whispering, "Liam, let's just drop it, okay? Let's finish dinner and head home, please?"Liam looked at her, torn between anger and concern, but for Celena's sake, he let out a resigned sigh and gave a small nod.Seeing that, Celena's lips curled into a weak smile.However, not everyone was ready to move on.Wasyl stood up abruptly, a sneer plastered on his face as he turned to Liam and said, "So, Liam, you're telling us you brought Mr.
