The large Armstrong family room in New York was filled with a group of people, each with distinctly different personalities.Aunt Ganna clenched her fists tightly so the discoloration could be seen in her slightly chubby hands.Her body trembled as she subconsciously moved closer to the person sitting on the sofa before her without noticing her heart beating rapidly.Sensing the anxiety emanating from someone behind her, Celeste turned around and smiled at Aunt Ganna. She then turned to look at the group of people sitting in front of her.Her eyes were still smiling, but they were no longer warm.Some time ago, her biological father, who acted as the representative of the entire family, had just informed her that she would soon marry the eldest son of the Davis family.Yes, she will marry an unknown man.Celeste felt that God must be joking with her. She was young and wanted to gain freedom. However, she was about to marry an unknown man, and her family casually pointed at her. Is thi
Celeste had no other feelings than hatred for this Armstrong family elder.Since her mother married into an Armstrong family, this older woman had created all sorts of trouble for her.Because of the older woman's background, when facing her mother, who came from the Baker family and had a reputation in the literary field, the older woman always felt that she was seen as inferior to the daughter-in-law of other wealthy families.After meeting with Frodo, Felixa chose to leave the house and officially cut ties with the Baker family.Without her family as support, Felixacould only make very difficult progress in the Armstrong family.However, Frodo was known as a child who was easily deceived and devoted to Old Lady Armstrong.Whatever the older woman said, he had to do it. Even when he learned how his mother had criticized his wife harshly, he still chose to turn a blind eye to the situation and only persuaded his wife to tolerate Old Madam Armstrong's attitude more.The older woman di
She took a breath to calm herself and said, "Celeste, after all the Armstrongs are still your home and your mother's residence for almost twelve years. Do you really have no feelings for this house? Think about the Armstrong family who raised you over the years. Take this opportunity to repay your father for raising you. If you feel that it's wrong, then just say it. If you want something, then I will make the decision to promise to give it to you."What a dignified way and a standard that is also high enough to rob one's morality. Celeste suddenly felt relieved.'Oh well, after this incident, I will have no relationship with the Armstrong family,' she thought."Okay, I'll agree," said Celeste.Everyone started to look at each other worriedly. They were not sure why Celeste had suddenly agreed to the offer. However, regardless of the reason, once she agreed, things became easier to deal with.Seeing how everyone seemed to have let go of a heavy burden on their minds and shoulders, Cel
Celeste did not care about the debate in the living room as she comforted Aunt Ganna and thought about the letter her mother left before she killed herself.The letter was given to Celeste by Aunt Ganna when she was fourteen. She said that Aunt Ganna should keep this letter until the time came.Most of the letter was about how inadequate she was as a mother. She could only pray that her daughter would continue to live a better life while enjoying the warmth of a family she could no longer feel.In the letter, her mother has little to say about her father's betrayal, with only a hint that she is too naive to oversimplify every problem she faces, thinking that love will balance it all out. It goes on and on about how she does not really understand the role of a wife in a relationship and does not do well in maintaining a good relationship with her mother-in-law. She hoped her daughter would be different. Unlike her, Celeste's mother expected Celeste to be treated with genuine love by he
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
Two days passed quickly.One of the five-star hotels under the Davis Group Company was busy that night.In the luxurious private restaurant room, Dean was leaning lazily in his chair, his face indifferent, as he played with the teacup.The old madam held her teacup in her hands, and she drank slowly. Sitting across from her were her son, Martin Davis, and his wife, Aurel West. The two were also drinking their tea, and only the sounds of them sipping it could be heard within the restaurant.Ten minutes later, guided by the maid, the four members of the Armstrong Family, namely Old Madame Armstrong, her son, Frodo, and his wife, Damari, and finally, Celeste walking behind them, entered the private room.Just for this meeting, Old Madame Armstrong had specially instructed her son and wife to dress neatly to avoid being looked down upon by others. Of course, they also warned Celeste not to embarrass the Armstrongs.Celeste just smiled without a word. Old Madame Armstrong could not be both
Young Master Davis' smile shocked the Davis family, and even they were speechless.Especially Mr. Martin Davis, because he knows how expressionless his son can be over the years.'Celeste, being able to make my son show such a handsome smile, it's unbelievable,' thought Mr. Martin Davis.They knew that this was the first time Dean and Celeste had met.Meanwhile, they know their son is investigating his marriage partner because Dean's men tell Mr. Martin's secretary that Dean has information about Celeste.Something must have caught his eye, and otherwise, even with Old Madam Davis pressing him down, it was possible that he might not agree to this marriage. Plus, this marriage would only last for a year.Not caring about everyone's shocked expressions, Celeste stabilized her emotions and replied calmly, "No, but that's pretty good."Celeste's answer was not overbearing, using a casual tone to portray the truth.Dean's lips curled wider, "You are simple, Celeste."Celeste shook her head
Feeling that the hand within his palm gripped tightly, Dean did not move and let Celeste grip his hand, turning pale, 'Poor girl, though I can see she is quite stubborn.'Then, he turned his attention to Old Lady Armstrong, who was still wooing Dean's grandmother regarding the dowry increase. Dean's eyes darkened, 'Looks like that old woman wants to feel something from me!' Dean thought, raising the corners of his mouth faintly.'Alright, this shameless bunch of people dare to speak lowly about the people I care about. They want money? Well. I will fulfill their demands. Once Celeste marries into the Davis family, I will let these people know what it means to speak bad about Celeste!' Dean added in his heart.Remembering what Hugo had explained about the fight between the Armstrongs, the sense of revenge in Dean's heart rose.Everyone present was smart people. They knew what the older woman wanted to do.Dean was in no mood to see this boring family. He did not want to witness Celeste
"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
Rayy who was sleeping soundly, felt someone waking him up, "Mr. Rayy we have arrived."Rayy immediately opened his eyes. "Where are we?" Asked the man."We have arrived at Mr. Dean's villa." replied the bodyguard. Rayy casually got out of the car. He had missed this place so much. To be more precise, he missed the man who had made his crazy.The junior bodyguard wanted to carry Rayy's bag, but Rayy refused, "Thank you for picking me up today. You just rest. I can do this myself."His few minutes of sleep had allowed Rayy to think properly. Before, there was only anger in the man's heart."Yes, Mr. Rayy." and the bodyguard chose to walk to the back of the villa, which contained the dormitory for the bodyguards in this villa.Rayy walked casually towards his room, which was inside the villa. He passed by a few servants, who knew him well."Good afternoon Mr. Rayy, you're finally home.""I haven't seen you for a long time." was Aunt Gana's reply.Rayy immediately hugged the old woman. F
Celeste showed an annoyed face when she heard Cherry's teacher's words. No need to contact Martin's father, she would make that child of the William family leave this school.'It seems like this family should teach me a valuable lesson.' The woman thought. She intended to discuss this with Dean later."Okay. Teacher Cherry can contact me, if there are any matters to be compensated." Keyza said with a forced smile. Teacher Cherry immediately took the business card and put it away.Keyza looked at Celeste and said patiently, "Are you satisfied doing this to me?" The girl's tone was like she was the victim. Everyone present there shouted, "Sly woman." Keyza held back her anger. She had to be patient with this.'I'm so unlucky today!' She thought to herself. She really regretted putting her ego first. Actually, when she slapped Teacher Cherry a few days ago, her emotions were unstable. She was upset with her husband, who didn't approve of her buying a new bag. Teacher Cherry was an outle
"No.""I just think your daughter is too stupid!" Celeste's reply made Keyza even more incensed. The woman immediately stood up from her seat, and wanted to slap Celeste's cheek, but Black quickly restrained Keyza's hand, and twisted the hand back."It hurts!""Let go of me damn it!" shouted Keyza. Mrs. Danita felt sorry and said to Black, "Sir, could you please let go of that hand. Poor Mrs. William."Black looked at Celeste and she nodded her head faintly.Once released, Keyza gave Celeste a hateful look."Insolent!""Just watch out, you'll get your comeuppance from me." Keyza added."You want revenge? Is that possible?" Celeste said casually.Keyza felt insulted, because after marrying her husband, no one dared to say such a thing to her."You're so arrogant? You think with your son having the surname Davis, you are the wife of Mr. Dean Davis?""Hey, the name Davis is very common in this world. I'm going to sue you through legal channels." Keyza added."Go ahead. I'm not afraid of
