Semua Bab My Invincible Husband Has Returned: Bab 1791 - Bab 1800

As soon as the police arrived, the hired goons scattered around the room dropped their weapons and stood with heads bowed, no longer putting up a fight.They even seemed relieved to see the police. Liam's tactics had been nothing short of terrifying."Sunniva, are you okay?"Just then, a man in a patrol uniform with a stern look on his face charged in. His icy gaze quickly took in the scene before he strode over to Sunniva.Seeing her, his stern expression melted into one of concern. "Sunniva, are you okay? Did you get hurt?" he asked.Sunniva took a discreet step back as the man reached for her arm, maintaining a polite distance. "I'm fine, thanks to Liam. Without him, I hate to think what might have happened."The man's attention shifted to Liam, his eyes narrowing slightly as he took in the man who had just been praised. However, he quickly smoothed his expression and offered a hand to Liam with a friendly smile. "Hello, I'm Gage Creston, the captain of the local patrol divisi

Celena's expression softened a touch at his words.Seizing the moment, Kendrick urged, "You know the kind of doors that can open when you're in with the corporate heirs and the high rollers, right? This opportunity is staring you in the face. Are you sure you want to pass it up?"Celena hesitated. She was not one for those social shindigs, but Kendrick had a point.Making those connections could really give her work and the family business a leg up.Kendrick noticed the spark in Celena's eyes and seized the moment to persuade her further. "Celena, I get that these gatherings aren't your thing, but now that you're part of the company, networking is part of the job. Don't stress about it. I'll be there tonight to make sure nobody gives you a hard time."Since their last blow-up, Kendrick had written Liam off completely.The restaurant run-in with Mr. Rhodes only cemented Kendrick's disdain for Liam.Then, with Liam right there, Kendrick did not bother to hide his contempt. He shot

In the meantime, a fleet of sports cars had zoomed in, parking in a neat line along the dock like a high-end car show, leaving onlookers in awe. A gaggle of young heirs and heiresses, the very picture of wealth and luxury, stepped out, their every move exuding an elegance that set them apart from the average Joe. They huddled in pairs and small groups, their laughter and chatter contributing to the lively vibe. Kendrick emerged from his ride and, after exchanging pleasantries with the elite crowd, made his way over to where Celena and Liam stood. Drawing closer, Kendrick's gaze landed on Liam's laid-back getup and the modest electric scooter beside them. His brow creased, and his eyes betrayed a flicker of scorn. "Celena, you're here? How did you get here? I was about to call and offer you a lift!" Celena, unfazed, flashed a smile of impeccable courtesy. "Yeah, we've just arrived. Thanks for thinking of us, but Liam and I scooted over on this little gem." The dockside breez

Especially annoying was the sight of Celena looking sheepishly grateful as she accepted business cards from the eager young men, it made them seethe. They had been the belles of the ball until that newcomer swooped in and stole the spotlight. When they realized Celena was not even wearing top-brand fashion, their faces twisted with open scorn.One of the women, decked out in the latest designer gear and clutching a pricey crocodile skin bag, strutted over in her stilettos. "Kendrick, don't tell me these are the 'new friends' you've been hyping up," she said with a sneer."Look at them, dressed in rags and looking so plain. Where on earth did you find these friends?" The woman was fairly attractive, but her face had an artificial, almost high-tech sheen to it. Her figure was decent enough, with all the right curves in all the right places, especially when set off by her designer bling. She looked okay. Then another chicly dressed woman stepped forward, eyeing Celena with a sneer and

With Kendrick's smooth talk, Celena did not feel like pressing the issue. She glanced at Liam, waiting for his take on the situation.Liam gave a small nod, his expression unreadable. "Sure, let's head up. We're here now, might as well."However, deep down, he was itching to figure out what Kendrick was really up to.Kendrick waved to the group and led Celena, Liam, and the assembly of rich kids to the swanky yacht they had rented.Once everyone was settled on the yacht, Kendrick's gaze lingered on Liam, his smile quickly turning into a chilling smirk when out of sight.He excused himself from Celena and slipped away to a quiet corner of the yacht, whipping out his phone to make a call."We're all aboard. Time to kick off the plan we talked about," he said into the phone.A sketchy chuckle crackled through the speaker. "Don't you worry, Mr. Hyde. We've got it covered. Once you hit open water, we'll make our move just like we planned."And then, Mr. Hyde, get ready for your big
