My Invincible Husband Has Returned

Chapter 223

The people in the room heard about it, but they were still stunned when they heard it again.

"So this is THAT Liam?"

"Holy shit! How shameless! He's a man who's living with his wife's family. How dare he come and attend this gathering tonight?"

"I agree. What nonsense is this, Celena? We invited you to the gathering, but why did you bring his loser with you and spoil our mood? To think that Samara missed you so much. How could you do this to her?"

Samara looked very hurt as she looked at Celena. Her eyes were filled with grievances. It was as if Celena did something heinous.

Celena saw how upset Samara was, so she quickly let go of Liam's hand and went up to Samara to explain. "That's not the case, Samara. I wasn't deliberately trying to spoil your mood. I only asked him to drop me off."

Upon saying that, Celena turned to look at Liam while feeling a little troubled. She said, "Liam, how about you wait for me outside."

Then, Celena sat next to Samara and apologized to her profusely. It was only then Samara's mood slowly improved.

Celena saw that Liam was standing in place. With a pleading and troubled gaze, she shook her head at him. Liam sighed helplessly before he left.

"I'll wait for you at the door. Call me if you need anything." That was all he said.

Liam did not leave the place. He only left the private room and stood in the hallway.

It was obvious that the gathering that night was a trap and Samara was up to something. Liam was worried about Celena. If anything were to happen, he would be able to immediately enter the room to protect her.

As soon as the door closed behind Liam, Samara's expression immediately changed. She pretended to be mad and defended Celena.

She looked at everyone with displeasure and said, "All of you better knock it off. Celena's my best friend. You're not allowed to talk about her husband like that. You're not allowed to laugh at Celena too!" This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Upon saying that, Samara held Celena's hand and gave her a look of reassurance.

Everyone kept their mouth shut once Samara said. Then, they started to talk to each other again. The atmosphere in the room was back to being as lively as before.

Celena was touched as she looked at Samara. She got so emotional that she cupped Samara's hand that was placed on her elbow. With tears rolling in her eyes, she said, "Samara, thank you. Thank you for protecting me. I'm thankful that you're still willing to treat me as your good friend. I should apologize to you for what happened in the past."

Celena was thanking Samara while feeling moved. However, she failed to notice that Samara's expression was getting more and more frosty. A sense of resentment was slowly appearing in her eyes as well.

Samara slowly tightened her grip around her glass of red wine. Then, she lifted the glass over Celena's head and poured the ice-cold wine on her.

Silence came upon the room once again. Everyone was eager to watch the drama unfold as they looked at Celena, who was soaked in red wine. Her white dress was dyed red, and her makeup was

ruined. She just looked like a hot mess.

Celena was stunned. As she looked at Samara in shock, she felt so aggrieved that tears kept streaming down her face.

"S-Samara—"

Celena wanted to question Samara out loud about why she did that. However, she cowered when she met Samara's eyes which were filled with resentment.
