What did Old Madam Davis mean by that excessive gift?Celeste knew how much she was worth. Even if it was meant to compensate, not everyone could handle such an amount of reward. Then, what made Old Madame Davis do that?Also, all of Dean's actions today confused Celeste.In her memory, today was the first time she had met Dean.Celeste did not think she had such extraordinary charm that she could make a man who had seen and met all kinds of women from various backgrounds fall in love with her at first sight.'Then what did all that man's actions do today?' Celeste thought.The thought of Dean holding her hand, comforting and supporting her, the concern and the child
Celeste lowered her head and opened her eyes.The scenery and the person in front of her were extremely blurry. As her normal vision returned, she replied, "Sorry, I've kept you waiting for too long."Dean naturally linked his hand with Celeste's, "Let's go."She tried to push Dean's hand away, but the man's grip was too tight. Even after several attempts, Celeste still failed.'This man! We haven't known each other for three days, but we have the courage to do this,' Celeste thought.Dean's car was parked not too far away, so when Celeste was about to get angry, Dean put Celeste in his car, leaving the Armstrong family's villa.After traveling for thirty minutes, the car sped into an underground parking lot attached to a high-end restaurant. After they got off, Dean and Celeste took the special elevator to the private room that Dean had pre-booked.In the luxurious and spacious private room, ethereal music could be heard from the background.Celeste sat inside lazily on the couch. Th
Dean's gaze changed slightly, "No.""Hah?" It was too shocking. How could this eligible single man never date?"Why, you don't really believe? I have lived a clean life and an honest life."Celeste muttered to herself, 'Could it be that he really has health problems? Or maybe he really has a perverted hobby?'It was as if Dean could read Celeste's mind, again with a stone face, words that came out of his mouth like bombs, and they threw Celeste entirely off guard and made her blush, "I'm perfectly healthy, and I don't have any perverted hobbies. If you don't believe me, then we can spend some time communicating together after we get married."Celeste lowered her gaze to hide the anger in her eyes, 'Dirty old man! Who wants to communicate with you? Dammit, I am innocent!' You want to get into my bed in a dream!'Dean's gaze was filled with joy, 'She is indeed a young woman, every feeling from her heart was perfectly reflected on her face. A plain girl? I don't mind changing that fact.'
Dean paused, then gave up and ran his finger over the tip of Celeste's nose, "You!" This intimate act made Celeste blush again, and she coughed, "Let go, stop your acts of love." Dean did not have any boredom by watching the embarrassed Celeste again, "Celeste, I may be arrogant, but I will not be unreasonable. I hope our relationship will develop because we will live together. I did not expect us to spend our days treating each other like strangers." He paused for a moment, "I understand that there's no way you'd accept our relationship right away, for the last twenty years of your life, you didn't expect yourself to marry and live with someone else. But the fact is that you didn't reject me, so I guess It's not that hard to accept all of this, is it? Don't use the excuse that you agreed just because you had no choice. As far as I know, you're not that kind of person." "Hmm, don't speak as if you know me well." Celeste was confused and desperately tried to hide the fact that her m
The maid cleared the dishes and brought a set of the best tea. Celeste and Dean had their teacups in hand as they sat on the couch by the window, enjoying this rare moment of peace. After taking a sip of her tea, Celeste lazily leaned her whole body on the sofa, and she turned her gaze towards Dean, who was sitting beside her, "How much funds are you going to inject into the Armstrong Company?" Dean put down his teacup as he turned his gaze to Celeste, "I'm still waiting for the Armstrong Company's evaluation report." "Could you send me a copy of the evaluation report when you get it?" "Sure, what do you want to do?" asked Dean, curious. Celeste smiled coldly as she replied, "To take back what is mine of course." Dean looked at Celeste enthusiastically, "What do you mean?" "I want more than ten per cent of the funds that will go to the Armstrong Company. So, I need to know the exact amount. "Worried that the Armstrong Company might do something about that amount?" "That's abso
The attorney displayed professionalism as he gathered the documents to be signed and stepped back.After they chased the lawyer away, Celeste turned and headed upstairs without saying anything else.Depressed, Frodo leaves the house.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat in the living room, having dark expressions on their faces as they sat across from each other."Mother, we can't let that little bitch succeed." Damari said while clenching her teeth.Old Madam Armstrong's wrinkled and merciless facial muscles contorted as she agreed, "Hmm, she wants to get rid of Armstrong's property? That's up to me to decide.""Yes, mother. You have to think of a way to stop Celeste and not let her take a dollar from our family."With a sly face, Old Madame Armstrong replied, "Don't worry, we won't let her have her way."Hearing that the old lady had a plan, Damari's eyes lit up, "Mother, you have a plan, don't you?"The two women put their differences of opinion aside as they gathered their mi
Ivory is the most heartless and arrogant person in the whole family. As a rich man's daughter, she only cares about spending money and playing with handsome men.The living room was filled with a suffocating atmosphere that was almost frightening. Everyone had thoughts of their own, but nothing could stop the silence.Damari could not take it anymore; nothing could be resolved if they kept silent. She picked up the document on the table and handed it to Celeste, "Here is the company's financial report. Take a look. If there are no problems, the money will be transferred to you in a moment."Even though Damari thought she was calm and collected, her unfocused gaze gave her a chance. She was nervous.Celeste flipped through the report and gently placed the document onto th
Dean still had an emotionless expression on his face. However, when he saw Celeste, his eyes filled with gentleness and favoritism, "To send you this," he said as he handed a collection of documents to Celeste.Receiving the things handed over, Celeste saw Dean's deep gaze, "Come in and sit down?"Dean nodded as he held Celeste's hand and walked to the couch. Sitting naturally beside Celeste, he crossed his legs and placed Celeste's arms in his lap with one hand on top. He then shifted closer to Celeste's ear and spoke loudly enough for everyone to hear, "Celeste, please continue with what you are talking about. I will always support you."Then, Dean positioned himself as a spectator as he stroked the slender fingers on his palm.Celeste tried to ignore the strange sensation in her hand by coughing lightly, "I assume this evaluation report is accurate?"Frodo shivered involuntarily, Helena clenched her fists tightly, Damari's face was pale as a tissue, and Old Lady Armstrong took the
"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
