My Invincible Husband Has Returned

Chapter 82

She watched Liam’s face intently as she spoke, knowing all too well that once upon a time, Liam’s love for Clora was the talk of Drunham

City.

Liam was busy tidying Jovie’s windswept hair at the entrance. Celena’s question did not seem to faze him, and his gentle smile remained as he looked down at Jovie’s face with affection.

“It’s not much of a connection. I just dug up some dirt on the Walkers and handed it over to the police station. They’ve been itching to clamp down on the Walkers for ages! The raid was just them dealing with years of the family’s shady dealings.”

commander-in-chief.

Despite his composed exterior, Malcolm was on edge. He was in the presence of the legendary commander-in-chief, the feared leader of the Pendragon Warriors, a name that sent shivers down the spines of

“Malcolm, do you have control over the Walker family’s assets?” Liam inquired.

“Yes, sir! Do you have any instructions for me?” Malcolm responded,

his voice laced with caution.
