Chapter 267
Seeing that Celena was still indifferent, Sherah cried even louder. She bawled and shouted at the top of her lungs, "My poor Qemal! We finally have a son. If anything were to happen to you, how would your father and I live?"
Celena was having a headache because of Sherah's wailing as she threw a tantrum on the floor. Celena quickly helped Sherah and replied helplessly, "Mom, get up. Let me first take a closer look into this matter with the contract. I'll think of a way."
Only then did Sherah stop crying and stand up with satisfaction. She eagerly sat next to Celena and told her about the incident in detail.
Half an hour later, Sherah and Qemal came out of the cottage.
As soon as they stepped out of the door, their anxious expressions were immediately replaced by a smug smile. Both of them sneered as their evil plan was a success.
"Mom, this is a great move. As long as Celena is willing to get involved, this matter will have nothing to do with me anymore. She can deal with the mess. If she can't resolve it when Grandpa finds out, we'll just say it's all her idea and it has nothing to do with us," said Qemal.
Once this matter was resolved, Qemal would be able to walk away without taking the blame. If something went wrong, he would be able to pin everything on Celena. At the thought of that, Qemal felt incomparably happy.
Sherah sneered as she turned to look at the cottage behind her. "Hmph. She's the b*tch who wanted to return to the Stone family. You are her sister. Of course, you'll ask her to take responsibility when something has gone wrong. Since she wants to be part of the family again, she'll have no choice but to accept it."
Suddenly, Sherah's expression darkened. She glared at Qemal and reminded him, "You've got some nerve to say all that. You'd better be more careful in the future. Do you think I don't know what's going on? You must have taken a rebate, so they got dirt on you. Am I right? Tell me honestly, how much have you taken this time?"
Qemal immediately took Sherah's arm to please her and said with a smile, "You know me best, Mom. It's not much. It's just fifty thousand dollars."
Sherah was annoyed, but there was no sign of anger in her eyes. She only had a doting gaze instead.
As soon as she heard that Qemal took 50 thousand dollars as a rebate, she immediately wagged a finger at him and criticized, "Alright, enough. You make me worry about you all the time. Don't keep the money with you for the time being. Give it to me and I'll take care of it for you. I'll return it to you after the matter is resolved."
Qemal's smile immediately faded as soon as he heard that. He was thinking of enjoying himself with the money, but he had to hand the money to Sherah before he could do anything. However, he knew very well that they were still waiting for Celena to resolve this matter. It would be bad if he were to be holding the money and it was traced back to him.
"I got it, Mom. I'll hand it to you later."

Celena was sitting on the couch and looking at the contract. She looked troubled and her head was hurting.
That was the contract that Qemal signed with the other party. She looked through the contract very carefully, but she found nothing wrong with it. It was all written in black and white, and there was no
way for them to go back on their word.
Liam put a glass of water next to Celena and asked, "Celena, do you think it's the other party who's at fault? Do you think Qemal was tricked by them?"
