Semua Bab My Invincible Husband Has Returned: Bab 281 - Bab 290

Cisco could feel his ears ringing, an aftermath of the sheer shock. He placed his forehead in his palms in sheer exasperation and snarled, "What the hell went wrong? Tell me everything!"Malcolm could feel Cisco's rage even through the phone, so he quickly explained everything to him once more. Once Cisco got the gist of it, he was so outraged that he leaped out of his chair and smacked his table. "The audacity of the Hughes and that damned Trevyn! How dare he let his cockiness blind him! How dare he act so arrogantly toward the King Pendragon himself! Malcolm, you should go to the Hughes on the eighth of next month to sack Trevyn yourself! If he tries to object, tell him that you're doing so under my orders, and he can speak to me directly!"With that, Cisco slammed the phone down. This was the first time he had heard about Liam's life story. He witnessed his parents' death as a child, was betrayed by his fiance, and deceived by the man he trusted the most! He could not believe that

Geoffrey got more and more outraged by the minute until finally, he stood up and reached for the phone, exclaiming, "I'm furious! I'm going to demand that Trevyn Hughes be brought to us right this instant so we can punish him! How dare he behave in such a way that insults the military ranking system!"The old, rather chubby-looking man sitting next to Geoffrey reached out to stop him and said, "Geoffrey, don't get ahead of yourself! Trevyn Hughes has no idea of Liam Cole's true identity, and Trevyn is the least of our worries right now. Have you forgotten what Liam did the last time?"Geoffrey was rather displeased at being talked down like this. He glared at the man who had stopped him and snapped, "Michael! What on earth are you doing? How can you allow a mere general who hasn't even been officially appointed yet to look down on us like this?"Michael Darwin, the man whom Geoffrey was speaking to, scoffed and shot him a murderous glare. "You should get your hot temper in check! Of

"I'm going to be appointed as general next month, and I'll be of the same rank as Malcolm by then. It doesn't matter if he was transferred to Drunham City. I'll still be the one taking over his post at Roselle City, so we'll be of the same ranking. Besides, everyone knows I'm the heir to the Hughes family, and no one can stop me once I set my mind to something, not even Malcolm!"Martin relaxed when he heard this. He nodded in agreement, then smiled as he picked up his teapot to pour himself a cup of tea. "Like father like son, Trevyn! You've inherited my quick wit and exceptional leadership skills. You're one of the few people who attained the position of general even before you turn thirty. If I recall correctly, even Malcolm only attained general in his mid-thirties. Back then everyone applauded him for his achievements, and now you've proven to everyone that you're better than him!"Martin took a sip of his tea, and all of a sudden, Patrick piped up, "Father, Trevyn, I'm going to

With that, Anna turned to Reginald with red-rimmed eyes and wailed, "Grandpa, you can't let them take Celena away! Who knows what they'll do to her? You can't possibly allow this to happen! Celena is your granddaughter, and you used to love her with your whole heart!""Enough, Anna! You better mind your own business. Celena is my daughter, and I have all the right to dictate where she goes. You have no right to butt in at all! Celena is a curse to this family and has brought us countless troubles. If it were not for her, we would not even be in this position right now. Besides, this is the future General Hughes we're talking about, and how dare you ask us to risk offending General Hughes for a bitch like Celena? Are you going to bear the consequences of that?" Yafe snarled.Everyone agreed and began to turn on Anna."Yafe is right! You have no right to critique us for what we do, Anna. So what if Celena is taken away? If it were up to me, she would've been cast out of this family lo

"Jovie!" Celena cried out when she saw her own daughter being flung onto the ground. She tried desperately to crawl her way toward Jovie in hopes that she would be able to catch her before she fell, but unfortunately, this was not possible.Jovie landed on the ground in a crumpled heap. She let out a pained grunt as an excruciating pain shot through her back, then burst into tears. "Mom, Dad! It hurts so much! I can't move… I'm scared! Where are you, Dad? Please come home… There are bad guys here to catch us, and I'm scared…"Jovie and Celena's cries echoed through the entire yard. The company commander frowned impatiently, then glared at the sobbing child on the ground and snapped, "Fucking twats! Take them away from here so I can have some peace and quiet!"Immediately, two soldiers grabbed hold of Celena, pinning her arms behind her back, whereas Jovie was picked up from the ground by another. The soldier who handled her was so rough that Jovie began to tremble in agony. "It hurt
