Hearing all that made Aunt Ganna even more worried, "Then if you married him, wouldn't you be in a more dangerous position? This kind of big family fight isn't something people like us can do. What if the whole family is targeting you? Then how can you survive with them?"
"Aunt Ganna, you still don't understand? My marriage to them was just a show. Maybe it's to cover something up. If they make things difficult for me and outsiders get the news, this will definitely cause damage to the reputation of the Davis family for the sake of the family's reputation, they will not be rude to me. After the time limit is up, I can leave that place. So, when the time comes, I will take Aunt Ganna and leave this town. We will live a great life elsewhere. Are you agree?"
Hope everything is as expected.
A tall, well-built man stood in front of a French window with a panoramic view.
His tall and perfect body was well draped under his suit. The suit could not tie the beautifully defined muscles beneath the material, giving it a dazzling feel.
The man turned his deep gaze toward the distant architecture of the building. There was no focus in his eyes while he was thinking.
Right on his large, spacious desk was a very interesting information file.
On top of the file was a piece of paper with a photo of a beautiful and sweet-looking woman.
The man paced back and forth in his chair behind the desk and reluctantly took the photo. He commented in his deep and sexy voice, "Not a bad decision."
Next, he flipped through the pile of information, carefully studying each piece. When almost done, he pressed the internal phone, "Gustin, come in."
A moment later, a towering and muscular man walked in. With no facial expression, he greeted respectfully, "Young master, you called for me."
Finishing reading the last page of information, he picked up the photo again. Without much change in his tone, he asked, "Is that all?"
Gustin understood what his master was asking, so he replied respectfully, "Yes, young master. This is the result we received after Hugo conducted a private investigation. There should be no scrutiny."
"Hmm." With Hugo personally doing the task, the man assumed there should not be any mistakes. Then, he remembered a piece of information he had seen before, "Inform Hugo to investigate the Oxley clan. Make it quick."
Gustin bowed and replied, "Yes, sir."
Then, after a few minutes of waiting, convincing himself that his young master had no other orders, he retreated quietly to look for Hugo.
His young master had never shown any interest in anyone before. It was said that the future daughter-in-law appointed by the Elder of the Davis family was a rich young lady disliked by her family. However, a faint smile appeared on the young master's handsome face after Hugo submitted the investigation report. He even commented, "She is an interesting person." Which made Hugo's jaw drop in shock.
Since the person they investigated had a unique identity, they could see their young master smiling slightly.
Having followed their young master since they were young, they had never seen him smile before, much less reveal a clear smiling expression.
Inside the large office, the man remained expressionless, holding a photo in his hand. His mind recalled the information about the woman who was his future wife.
Celeste Baker, 20 years old, 165 cm tall, weighs 50 kilograms. Her mother, the third child of the Baker family, was Frodo Armstrong's first wife. Celeste's mother committed suicide when she was two years old. Shortly after that, Damari James took over from her mother.
Celeste, who was less than three years old, was cared for by a maid named Aunt Ganna. Her presence in the Armstrong family did not stand out at all.
During her academic years, one could only describe her as beautiful as Madona due to her beautiful appearance. That appearance once caused a large group of men to fight for it.
However, due to her outstanding academic ability, which allowed Celeste to pass through several levels, she had already graduated from university before the men could come up with a plan to confess love.
In front of the members of the Armstrong family, Celeste had always been an obedient child. She did not have a strong presence and was even invisible at times, but she never cared about that. Alternatively, maybe it could be that the current situation was the plan all along.
However, that was just what Celeste gave on the surface. She still had another identity that was unimaginable and hard to find.
In recent years, there has been a popular online writer named Little Armstrong Celeste, whose novel entitled Love of Color gained instant popularity overnight with millions of views.
Several other novels later received many positive reviews along with many diehard fans.
Her latest detective novel Black World was released a while ago. The first release sold nearly one hundred and fifty copies.
In less than two months, it was out of stock. The second release was published in thirty thousand copies.
As one could imagine, the stock gain that Little Armstrong Celeste received would be an impressive amount.
However, for someone who possessed such an ability, not many saw it in real life. Her behavior was very humble.
This humble identity was not something she could hide from her future husband, Dean Davis.
According to the information gathered, Celeste has an extraordinary ability to learn and understand languages.
That is why her work has garnered so much attention. Several well-known publishing companies in America also want to publish her works. Even the large-scale European media company hoped to invite her to join them. However, Celeste refused all of them.
To everyone's surprise, the reason was that she was too lazy and could not cope with too much work.
The thought of this stupid excuse made the Dean want to laugh, "Such a childish personality is really cute."
Then, when the handsome man realized he was laughing, the Dean paused, and his lips curled upwards again. Maybe his future life will be interesting.
Celeste, the person in question, was still unaware of the predator's thoughts.
She was now lazing in the chair on the balcony of the room with a book covering her face, enjoying the good times.
Regarding the matter of her marrying a stranger, the woman did not care anymore.
When Aunt Ganna came in to deliver a glass of milk, she shook her head at the sight of Celeste's relaxed figure and muttered, "This kid, how can she be so relaxed."
Celeste held up the book and replied lazily, "There's nothing to worry about. It's not like if I'm worried about it, then that young master Davis will suddenly rebel against his family, get rid of the staff, beat up his grandmother and then divorce me before I do can marry him."
Aunt Ganna quickly covered Celeste's mouth, "You stupid child, watch what you say."
Celeste chuckled, "I was just kidding."
Aunt Ganna delivered a message, "Mrs. Armstrong just told me beforehand to let you know that there will be a meeting with the Davis family in two days from now. Young master Davis is also there. She asked you to be prepared, and not to embarrass her." Aunt Ganna complained sadly, "You look so beautiful, is there anything to think about? Who knows if they themselves will be embarrassed."
Celeste drank a glass of milk while listening to Aunt Ganna's nagging. She thought, 'So, it's time to meet? Will he be like what people say on the internet? What kind of attitude will he show me? Hate? Disgusting? Insult? As someone who is about to marry into that family, I think I should stop hoping that they will show a positive attitude towards me. How naive I was. But then again, no matter what, I just need to hold on for a year, and then I'll be released. Then, I will take Aunt Ganna along and leave this place. With my abilities, I won't have a problem with our living expenses.'
Since learning that she had been sold to the Davis family, Celeste had entrusted someone to learn more about the Dean.
It was said that the Dean was a very difficult person to get along with. With minimal facial expressions, he is a man of few words and has a mild obsession with cleanliness. His character is unpredictable, and he is known as a moody person.
"Please pick up his twin brother. I recognize him." Maroo said to the other man.Celeste had already been picked up by two men, "Please save the child in my stomach." said the woman. Scarlett, who was panicking, immediately sent the taxi driver out and asked him to take the three people to the hospital."Sister, let me accompany them. My name is Maroo, I'm Young Master Axel's lover." Scarlett, who recognized Dean's half-brother nodded her head. She wanted to take care of these two bodyguards of Dean."Miss, it looks like these two men have serious injuries. We should call an ambulance." said one of the citizens, and the other replied, "I'm going to my house. I work as an ambulance driver.""Sir, thank you." said Scarlett."Please save the young lady and the others." Hugo said before he fainted.Meanwhile, on Ivory and Damari's side, they were panicking because Ivory had not yet fired a bullet at Celeste and the other people's children were already helping."What about this? We can't g
Two days later Ivory and Damari got a call from someone Ivory had met in Brazil. The woman's boss asked to meet at an upscale New York private restaurant.Damari, who had not been to a place like this in a long time, was delighted. They ate a few light dishes before two people entered the room. Damari seemed to have seen them before, but she forgot where."Good afternoon, I am Berliana Willes, wife of the current head of the Wilson family, and this is my personal assistant who previously dealt with Miss Ivory." Berliana said. Ivory and Damari nodded their heads politely as they stood up.Berliana was already seated in her place, and started the conversation, "Are you satisfied with the dishes here?" Ivory boldly replied, "Enough, ma'am.""I got the information to come here. So, what should we do?" she added."I learned that you are Celeste's mother and half-sister. And apparently the biological daughter of Alroy Willes. I am asking you to kill that woman, because all of the Willes fam
"Have a seat." Celeste said gently. Hugo and Barcode who were quite familiar with Celeste's character immediately frowned, 'What's going on? Does the young lady have some kind of intention?' they wondered.Axel immediately reached out his hand and held Maroo's arm."Auntie, please prepare two more plates." Celeste said to Auntie Gana who had just arrived. Aunt Gana immediately walked to the plate rack and took them.Maroo and Axel sat next to Little Ce. Little Ron who saw the arrival of the man he thought was cute was happy."Mommy, what Ce and I said wasn't a lie, right? Uncle Axel's boyfriend is really cute." the man said.Bass who was drinking mineral water immediately choked.'Boyfriend? Since when did that arrogant young master have the same orientation as Barcode and Rayy?' Bass thought.Celeste only gave a smile. And her focus went straight to Maroo."What's your name?" asked Celeste, Celeste's soft voice made Maroo's ears feel comfortable, so the man replied, "My name is Maroo
'The guy from the café?' Axel thought in confusion."Are you hurt? If so, we should go to the hospital." Axel said with politeness. Maroo, who didn't like the man in front of him, immediately replied, "No need, I'm fine. Next time, if you walk, you should use your legs and eyes." Then Axel just left."I was wrong, but did I have to get a remark like that?" Axel said to himself. Maroo's coworker who saw that immediately ran to Axel, "Sir, forgive my friend. He was in a hurry. Please don't tell our manager."Axel frowned, "If I may know, what's wrong?" asked Axel a little curiously."My friend is an orphan. He has to support himself and his adopted grandmother. If you tell our manager, my friend could be fired. Finding a job nowadays is very difficult. He doesn't usually behave like that." said the staff.Axel, who also didn't want to cause trouble here, just nodded his head. He took a few steps, then turned his body back and asked the staff, "If I may know, what is your friend's name?"
Ivory, who had promised her mother that she would avenge the Armstrong family, was currently meeting with someone in a private room at a famous restaurant in Brazil.The person Ivory was talking to was a woman, but the person did not show her real face."You should go back to New York with your mother, and show Celeste Willes that you can still live well. I heard Celeste is pregnant, very good, if you can make her have a miscarriage." said the woman who turned her back on Ivory.Ivory, who heard that, was quite surprised.'Celeste could be pregnant? Since when?' she thought."Don't think too much, in front of you is the ticket and all the things you need while in New York. Do that quickly." She added."Okay." Ivory replied. The woman who was once spoiled by her family, now has to obey the words of others. This was done by Ivory, because she had a gambling debt with that woman. If her mother found out, Damari could kill her.Then, Ivory walked out of the room. Leaving the woman smiling
Mrs. Aurel saw her daughter sitting in the back garden, with a sad face. She went straight to her, and said, "Cleo, what's wrong?"Cleo raised her head, and burst into tears at the sight of her mother."Mama." Mrs. Aurel brought her body closer, letting her daughter hug her. She chose not to say much."What's wrong?" she asked."Mama, why doesn't Grandma seem to love me?" the girl said, her voice hoarse.'Has Cleo realized everything?" thought Madame Aurel."Honey, why are you saying this? Grandma has always loved all her grandchildren. It's just your feelings." she retorted.Cleo raised her head, shaking her head as she replied, "No. Grandma has loved Dean's brother since I was born. Now she loves Axel brother too, but why doesn't Grandma respond when I do something good?" Mrs. Aurel was confused by her son's answer.'Axel? Close to Mama? Didn't I hear that wrong?" she said to herself. She stroked Cleo's cheek, and wiped away the tears on the child's cheeks."Honey, is what you're sa
