Chapter 26
CELINE’S POV
I had to force a hard swallow as I felt Sebastians warm hand on my flesh,
which was scorching. Nevertheless, the reverie was disrupted the very next
second when he spoke the most nasty remarks, which caused the smile on
my face to freeze for a split second for a moment of stunned silence. “So…
this is how you earn money normally?”
Because I didn’t want to appear weak, I fought back. As I gripped thepel of
his suit and murmured in his ear, the corner of my mouth twisted into a sneer
once more. “Regardless of how I make my money… it remains the fact that
you’ve enjoyed everyst bit of my service, haven’t you?” While I was saying
this, I rubbed my body against his, and his eyes darkened and became chilly.
The sensation of his eyes cutting through my skin and reaching my nerves
was excruciating.
His expression clearly conveyed his abhorrence of the situation.

As I stepped away from him, I maintained a very subtle smile on my face.
“You don’t have to worry, Mr. Anderson once the money fills my pocket, I
know how to keep a secret..”
He grasped my chin, and although it hurt… I didn’t show any sign of
difort. Instead, my face was expressionless as I stared at him. “One
million dors?” he scoffed. “You really are the cheapest girl I’ve over known,
Celine Lauren…”
I rolled my tongue along my inner cheek, caressing my chin that he’d hurt.
But the words he just said to me was more painful…
“Five million dors and you’ll take this secret to your grave!” He spat at me
as he pulled a check out of the pocket of his suit and began to sign it before
throwing it in my face.
I had to bend down to pick up the check after it had fallen on the ground, and
I couldn’t help but smile triumphantly when I realized that he had actually
written five million dors in it. “How generous of you, my dear
brother–inw…”

“Get out of my sight!” he shouted and Iughed as I put on the dress I was
wearingst night that he took off from me.
“Goodbye and thank you, your majesty.” I blew him a kiss on the way out of
the room before flipping my hair and going about my business.

However. I didn’t expect to see a girl walking down the hallway that made
me quickly examine my surroundings.
I thought I was in a hotel. I was wrong. It conjured images of a magnificent
mansion, a life lived in the height of opulence and extravagance, and
mountains of cash.
These words started rattling around in my head all of a sudden.

This was not a hotel but rather the vi that belonged to the Anderson Family.
Even the air they inhaled had a sweet aroma of honey because it was such
an elegant and respectable ce.
“Brylee..” I was taken aback by the girl’s voice. And I am able to recall her

now. She’s Cynthia, Sebastian’s younger sister.
So… she thought I was Brylee?

I tried to get away from her and head down the steps, but she followed
behind me. “Hey, I was wondering if you could tell me more about your sister
Celine’s return to the Lauren family? You didn’t kick her back to the ind
where she was staying, did you?”
I came to aplete halt, but I didn’t turn around to face her when I did so.
“Has she offended you by any chance?” I asked. These wealthy folks were all
callous and ruthless individuals.
Cynthia took a step forward and gave a hesitant smile. She continued by
saying that “everyone in the city knows what kind of girl she is…” You have no
choice but to expel her from the city because she is such a shameless
woman. Please, Brylee… don’t allow her to bring shame on the Lauren family…”
I let out a snort ofughter, which caused her eyes to go wide as she
pondered the reason for my response being the way it was.

Why do you folks feel the need to hit others so frequently?”

“Bryke..” The look in Cynthia’s eyes conveyed a great deal of displeasure at
the fact that she didn’t take me down. I maintained a chilly gaze on her while
smiling to myself. “It seems that legendary Anderson family is nothing more
than this. Why don’t you hold a mirror up to yourself instead of wasting your
breath fretting about how other people might bring disgrace to the Lauren
family?
I was out of breath when I stopped talking. I rolled my eyes when I saw tears
pool in her eyes. I hurriedly left the enormous and elegant vi, feeling
grateful that a cab had just passed in front of me, that I had been able to g
it down by waving my hand.
