Chapter 273
Reginald was weighing the pros and cons. He did not wish to offend either Malcolm or the Hughes family. He did not wish to cross Trevyn, the future general.
Right at that moment, Liam rushed in with Celena while carrying Jovie in his arms.
As soon as the family of three walked through the door, the Stones' relatives and the senior executives of the company got all worked up again. They immediately stood up and cursed at the three of them.

"That's right. You've poked the bear, do you know that? Celena, do you know the Hughes family wants to fight our family to the death now? Trevyn has made a threat that he wants to finish our family half a month later."
"Celena, it's all your fault. If you didn't insist on bringing this loser home, would the Stones be in this mess now? Our partners requested to terminate their contracts with us after Trevyn made that declaration. Do you know how much loss we've suffered?"
"Why else would we say that Celena is bad luck? How annoying! Why don't you go the hell, you bitch! Do you know who you've offended? He's Trevyn Hughes, the senior captain of Northern Biskeland. He's going to be promoted to the rank of a general next month!"
They were bombarded with criticisms and anger as soon as they walked into the living room. All the memories from seven years ago cflooding into her head instead. Celena's face becas white as a sheet. Her body could not stop trembling.
That was because this was what she faced seven years ago. The Stones called for a meeting like this back then. It was the sold bunch of people, and they were hurling insults at her with
ferocious expressions.
The outcof the meeting back then was them banishing Celena from the family.

What a great daughter and son-in-law you have, Yafe. They truly spared nothing at getting the Stones in trouble."
"Walter!" Yafe got up and shot a glare at Walter with a sullen expression. Then, he quickly said to Reginald, "Dad, you should know that all these have nothing to do with me. My family will do as you say. We'll have no objection."
Yafe resented Walter's family for their desire to watch the world burn. They were at a critical juncture, yet Walter still wanted to slander Yafe in front of Reginald.
Sherah and Qemal, on the other hand, sat in the corner and said nothing. They simply watched quietly.
After all, they already left the issue with the contract to Celena, so that had nothing to do with them anymore. Of course, it would be best if the trouble with the Hughes family could get Celena banished from the family. However, even if Celena was not banished, she would still have it rough.
Reginald ignored Yafe and Walter. He looked at Celena with a darkened expression instead and bellowed, "Get on your knees!"
Celena immediately dropped to her knees in the middle of the living room. Liam, on the other hand, carried Jovie and stood with his head held high. He looked calm, and he did not take Reginald and the others seriously.
Seeing that Liam did not get on his knees, Cheryl could not hold herself back. She immediately stepped forward and cursed at Liam furiously.
