Chapter 219
Celena could tell that Liam was stealing glances at her from time to time, but she was very confused and wanted to ignore him. She then turned her head to face the window.
Whenever Liam looked over, he could only see Celena's beautiful side profile and her long lashes that fluttered occasionally.
Celena did not speak while Liam did not dare to do it.
After all, she was still angry at him. Since she agreed for him to accompany her, he did not dare to make any noise to annoy her. He decided to just be a good and quiet chauffeur.
Soon, they arrived at the hotel. After Liam parked the car, he unbuckled his seatbelt and hurriedly stepped out of the car before Celena.
"I'll get the door for you," said Liam.
His smile was full of flattery as he opened the door for Celena like a gentleman. When she got out of the car, he even placed his hand on the top in fear of her hitting her head. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
As soon as Celena got out of the car, a woman's voice could be heard coming from behind her.
"Celena? It's you! Is this your husband? He's not much, huh? Only driving a shitty BMW. I don't mean to criticize, but you're the prettiest out of our friend group. Why did you get yourself such a broke husband?"
Celena and Liam both turned to the back and saw a woman who was very sexily dressed. She was fully accessorized with jewelry, holding a limited edition Louis Vuitton purse. She pretended to press the button on her car keys casually, which made the headlights of the red Ferrari behind her blink.
The woman walked toward Celena as if she was walking the red carpet. With a fake smile, she said, "Celena, it's been so long since I met you! How're you getting on? I heard that you were banished by the Stone family before this, is that true?
"If you run into any difficulties, please feel free to look for me. I'm your friend, after all. If there's anything I can do to help I would gladly do all that I can!"
The mocking remark by the woman made Celena uncomfortable. She suppressed her discomfort and squeezed out an awkward smile.
"Yanely, I've returned to the Stone family. Thank you," said Celena.
Yanely immediately looked shocked. Her gaze filled with ridicule.
And she was disdainful when she thought of Celena's scandal, which long spread all over Drunham City!
In the past, when Celena was still in college, she was the one who stood out the most among her frenemies. Many young men from Drunham City's prominent families were all courting her. This was because Celena was pretty. She looked cool and distant but had a soft personality. She was like a small lily flower waiting in bloom.
Celena was too outstanding, and this made the other ladies seem ordinary. They became her accessories, which made them loathe Celena.
However, they all had the understanding to not have a fallout with her. After all, just having the title of being Celena's friend could give them the benefits given by the young men who wanted to court Celena.
After Celena was banished by the Stone family, they all straight-up ignored her.
A while ago, they heard that Celena was accepted by the Stone family, so they quickly called for this gathering.
Seven years passed. They did not believe that Celena would still outshine all of them at that moment, so they wanted to properly humiliate her this time round.
Yanely noticed the man beside Celena and thought he looked familiar. She was reminded of something and smiled tauntingly. "Celena, is this your husband? He's famous! There's been a lot of buzz around him in Drunham City lately!"
