Rupert smiled slightly. Stroking the top of Celine's head affectionately. “Have you forgotten that your uncle and Aunt separated a year before your father's case came to light?”Celine looked down. “You just walked out of my life.”“I didn't know that the end of my worries would turn out like this. I didn't have the courage to go back then because the situation was really tense. The slightest misstep on my part, you know, your grandfather and Grace won't stay silent.”Celine's shoulders seemed to tremble.“Do you know what made me choose to part with Grace?”This question made Celine look up, staring intently at Rupert who was wearing a sad smile. “Aunt Grace said that you were no longer in line with her thinking?”“That's one of the many reasons.” Rupert sighed softly. “But the biggest one is that I can't live with someone with such ambition that she forgets what'

There was still plenty of time before the banquet began. And this was put to good use by Celine to study what Fania had given her. Several other files that Zephyr and Uncle Rupert had given her were also scattered on her desk. All of them she had read over and over again but...“I'm going to go crazy if I have to study and know the correlation of all this,” he complained. While rubbing her head with a sad face. He slightly adjusted his hair to make sure nothing fell out because his head had been working hard since before. “Good thing my hair roots are strong. Otherwise, I'm sure that overnight my beautiful hair would no longer be on my head.”“What are you talking about?” asked Karen while carrying a tray of lunch. Since Celine was cooperative in telling her what she had for breakfast, which made Karen's heart skip a beat. Who would have thought that Celine would be cheating with cola again? She wanted to get angry and throw a fit, b

“I didn't expect your choice of dress to be so far off in a color that I think... doesn't suit you,” Sella said with a faint grin. Her eyes had not been distracted from watching Celine who had just arrived. Although Celine was expected, the twenty-minute delay really made her feel annoyed.Apart from listening to a lot of pleasantries full of innuendo from Cristine, her sister-in-law, she also couldn't stand it because Byran had ignored her from the beginning. If not for wanting to mend fences with her husband, at least not until their divorce was legalized. Sella knew she had been foolish in her steps, to the point that her affair had been discovered by others, especially Bryan and Cristine.And this frustration, she poured out on Celine who had just arrived. He didn't want Cristine to get the impression that Celine was better than him. He had already told her how Celine was out there along with a lot of evidence that could be gathered. So how did Cristine

Jacob's words just now made Celine stare at the man with interest. It was as if she had never seen Jacob before. “You... would do that for me?”Without hesitation, Jacob nodded. “I would do anything for you, sweetheart. Let's just say, it's all to make up for my past mistakes. You know, I really regret saying a lot of bad words to you.” The man stood up and walked closer to Celine, but before he could reach her side, Jacob said, “Mr. Edgar, before I put this beautiful ring back on your grandson, let me tell you something.”Since then, Edgar had been silent. Choosing to listen carefully to what was happening at this banquet. As long as it was within his tolerable control, Edgar did not need to voice anything. Everything he needed to say was already represented by Grace. But for this time, it was Jacob who asked and he had to respond.Smiling slightly, Edgar answered. “What is it?”“Let me make Celine La

“Are all Celine's boxes in the car?” Karen asked for confirmation. The maid in this luxurious house had gone back and forth several times to bring Celine's gifts and arrange them into the car.“I think this is the last box, Miss,” said one of them. “There are no more boxes for Miss Celine.”“Good.” Karen let out a long sigh. “They really are people who love to spend money. None of their gifts are cheap.” She checked her cell phone again in case there was a message from Celine, but since her last message saying she should get ready, there were no more messages. “Should I wait here?”But no, Karen at least could not wait where her eyes did not see Celine directly. Waiting was part of her job as an assistant especially when Celine was working in front of the camera, it was impossible not to check the results. And if the results are not satisfactory, Celine does not hesitate to ask for a reshoot
