My Invincible Husband Has Returned

Chapter 237

Tucker's nerves were shot, his heart pounding against his chest. Unlike Quim, he knew when he was out of his depth. He had walked in with his head low, ready to show just how much he understood his place. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Tucker marched up to Liam, bowed deeply with a look of utmost respect, and pleaded earnestly, "Mr. Cole, I've come to understand the situation, and it's clear my daughter has blundered. If you feel you must discipline her, I won't stand in your way. All I ask is that you spare her life. I won't cover for her mistakes. If it takes everything the Fabish family has to make it right with Ms. Stone, so be it. Please, just let her live."

With each word, Tucker's tears streamed down his face as he begged for forgiveness.

Samara, witnessing her father's deep bow and heartfelt apology to save her, was overwhelmed with tears and remorse, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Daddy... I'm so sorry... I was wrong to be so headstrong... I realize my mistake..."

Liam observed the touching scene with a steely stare, his rage tempering slightly, though his thoughts lingered on Celena, who was still in the car. He rose to his feet, his voice cutting through the tension.

"Quim's establishment is shut down for good. As for the Fabish family, I expect an apology from you both on my doorstep tomorrow."

His declaration brought a collective sigh of relief from the onlookers. Tucker, Quim and his daughter expressed their gratitude over and over, relieved to have been spared.

"Thank you, Mr. Cole, for your leniency. We'll be at your door to apologize first thing tomorrow!"

The others chimed in with their own thanks, grateful for Liam's mercy.

Without another word, Liam turned on his heel and walked away, leaving the crowd behind.

After Liam walked out the door, Quim just crumbled to the floor, panting like he had run a marathon. It was all over for him...

Eaden watched Quim fall apart, a smirk plastered on his face. He snorted, feeling damn lucky he had had the smarts to back the winning team.

"I told you, Quim. You wouldn't listen, and now look where that got you. You made your bed, now lie in it!"

The next day, Drunham City was buzzing with jaw-dropping news!

The Wakelin Group was toast! All their assets were frozen, and Quim and his daughter were thrown behind bars. Eaden swooped in like a vulture, snapping up their entertainment empire and their clout. He became the city's new golden boy overnight, turning heads all over town.

Meanwhile, at the Stone family's corporate headquarters, Reginald's office was a scene of its own. The whole Yafe family was there, giving Celena an earful.

They had gotten wind first thing in the morning that Celena had managed to tick off Samara and Billie the night before. No wonder she had come home looking like she had been dragged through a hedge backward. Samara's crew had given her a piece of their mind.

Cheryl had wasted no time that morning, spilling the beans to Reginald about Celena's run-in with the Fabish family and not without a little extra drama. Reginald was livid and scared of losing the deal with the Fabish family. He had picked up the phone and summoned Celena on the spot.

"Celena, you've really outdone yourself this time, you've got some nerve taking on the Fabish family. Don't you know they're collaborating with our family? You have no idea the mess you've stirred up!"
