Chapter 222
Samara's soft voice instantly brought Celena's thoughts back to the past when they spent their days together. Tears flowed down Celena's cheeks uncontrollably as she kept responding by nodding.
"Samara, I would like to apologize to you as well. What I did back then was wrong as well. Let's let the bygones be bygones. We're still good friends!"
Then, the two hugged each other while crying tears of joy. If people who did not know better saw such a touching moment, they would think they were as close as sisters who were related by blood.
However, in Liam's eyes, everything that Samara did looked different. Her actions seemed too fake.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was because even though Samara was hugging Celena and looking so affectionate, Liam could tell there was ridicule and hatred in her eyes. Perhaps Celena was the only one there who was naive enough to not have noticed it.
Everyone there looked extremely hypocritical. They were like wolves in sheep's clothes and might just pounce at any moment.
At that moment, Yanely, who was ignored by the others, suddenly pointed at Liam. She pretended to be kind and said, "Gosh, Celena, Samara, stop with your public displays of affection! Have you forgotten to introduce this gentleman to everyone?"
With that, everyone's gaze, including Celena's, landed on Liam as he stood at the entrance.
Celena then hastily stood up and wiped away the tear in the corner of her eye. She quickly walked up to Liam and introduced him to everyone.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce him to you. This is my husband!" said Celena.
All the men who were present looked disappointed upon hearing that. It seemed that the beauty who looked pure was here with her husband. But they all still put on a light smile.
One of the men stood up, straightened his suit jacket, and looked toward Liam with a face filled with ridicule and curiosity. At last, his greedy gaze landed on Celena.
"So this is your husband, Ms. Stone. I wonder what he does for a living. Why would he be dressed so…shabbily? Aren't you the daughter of the Stone family? Why would you saddle yourself with such a man for a husband? Is it because he feels we're beneath him that he didn't bother changing his clothes?"
After the man took the lead in making a fuss, the others started to chin. They were all questioning Celena and Liam on whether or not they looked down on them, and if Celena thought that her friends mattered.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt first, Celena was stunned as she did not expect that the man would say that. Then, she nervously wanted to explain, but Liam beat her to the reply.
"I don't have a job. I'm only here today to accompany my wife." Liam nonchalantly talked about how he did not work. There was no sign of embarrassment on his face. He said it so calmly as if this was a matter of course and nothing out of the ordinary.
However, the people there did not agree.
"What? So you're living off your wife's money?"
The man who was standing looked at Liam tauntingly. He even started to ridicule Liam loudly with the men beside him.
"Did you hear that? That's too shameless! He's quite proud to be living off his wife's money. How could one be so thick-skinned? He's a grown man, yet he is surviving on his wife's earnings!"
"Hahaha, you're right! This is too funny!"
Yanely was also smiling with ridicule at the side. She crossed her arms and sneered before saying, "Oh, con! It's not like you didn't know this is that loser from the Cole family who fell back then— Liam! He has married into the Stone family and is currently living with them now!"
