Celena, too, was in disbelief at what had happened. When Qemal said. that, the color drained from her face She stepped forward and grabbed hold of Liam’s arm, then stuttered, “Liam, stop! He… he’s my brother! Besides, it’s Grandpa’s birthday today, and I…”
Liam frowned when he saw Celena crying over Qemal. “Celena, you treat him like a brother, but he has never once respected you as a brother should! He insulted you just now. Why are you begging for mercy on his behalf?”
Celena glanced at Qemal, slumped on the ground, then at the crowd. gathered around them, watching curiously. She wiped the tears from her face and said, “Just let him go! We’re here for Grandpa’s birthday. After all, if he…”
Her voice was getting softer and softer with every word, but she gave Liam a pleading look laced with exhaustion.
Liam stared at her for a few moments, frowning, then finally turned to Qemal. He stared at him momentarily before finally letting him go
Qemal clutched his broken wrist and staggered to his feet. The moment he stood up, he glared at Celena and spat, “Celena Ston How dare you? How dare you show up and attack me like this? Wha kind of monster are you to do this to your own brother? I’ll make yo pay for this!”
With that, he scampered away as fast as his legs could take him.
Everyone began to whisper and gossip.
“Is that Liam Cole? What a monster! I can’t believe he just beat Qemal up like that!”
“He’s an absolute terror! He’s not scared of anyone at all!”
“Poor Celena. Knowing Qemal, he won’t rest until he gets his revenge on anyone who wrongs him. Now that Liam has attacked him, he will surely get his way, and poor Celena will bear the brunt of the force!”
“That’s strange. Wasn’t Celena kicked out seven years ago? If so, why did she show up here today with Liam and their child? Did Mr. Stone somehow forgive her and come to a reconciliation with her?”
“Of course not. Don’t you remember what happened a few days ago at Cheryl’s engagement party?”
Everyone had been watching Liam, Celena, and Jovie like hawks the moment they entered the room. Now that Liam had beaten Qemal up, they all began to speculate what Liam’s true identity was.
Celena finally overheard the conversations about her and turned to glance worriedly at Liam. “Qemal always holds grudges toward people who wrong him. He’s also very arrogant, and he won’t rest until he gets his revenge on you for beating him up in front of so many people! Why don’t we go home before the party starts?”
Celena was extremely worried. She remembered a long time ago, someone had accidentally spilled wine on Qemal. The next day, Qemal found the person and beat him up, then put his limp body on display for days so that he could become the object of everyone’s laughter!
Liam smiled and pulled Celena closer to him, then smiled. “Don’t worry! We’re here for your Grandpa’s birthday, aren’t we? You’re safe with me around!” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
With that, he led Celena and Jovie back to their seats.
The moment they sat down, they saw Qemal storming toward them with a middle-aged woman in his wake.
“Look, Mom, it’s Celena! I can’t believe she has the audacity to show up here after all these years, and she’s brought her scumbag husband too! Look at what he did to my wrist! It’s all Celena’s doing. She’s such a bitch!” Qemal said, shooting daggers at Celena.
