KNOW YOUR PLACE
CELINE’S POV
I didn’t wait for the driver to open the door for me when the luxury car pulled up in front of Lauren’s
mansion. Instead, I pulled it open and exited the car without saying anything to the person who was still
inside, watching my every move.
Before I pushed the door shut, I could still hear Sebastian sighing deeply, and as soon as the car was
out of my line of sight, I turned on my heels and walked into the house.
I was ready to push on the main door when all of a sudden it opened, and I heard footstepsing
down the stairs. When I looked up, I noticed Brylee descending the stairs still in her pajamas and
casting a murderous gaze in my direction.
I didn’t take my eyes off of her and instead chose to make eye contact with her in order to convey the
message that I was
completely unafraid. It was out of the corner of my eye, but I could make out my loving father sitting on
the couch, drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.
And Sasha was following close after her stepdaughter, who she
favored the most.
“Did anything happenst night?” Brylee asked me this question as she came to a halt in front of me,
crossing her arms over her chest.
took my time to analyze her face, and when I noticed the ck circles that were surrounding her eyes, I
couldn’t help but cr ack a smile. It’s possible that she couldn’t get to sleep or stayed up the whole night
because she kept thinking about what me and her fiancé were doing.

What a pity! Unluckily for her, she was unaware of the fact that, to that man… she appeared to be far
less significant than she had ever imagined.
“Didn’t you hear my question?” She inquired once more, this time with a somewhat more insistent tone,
but I did not alter my position in the least. Instead, I reached into my bag and pulled out my phone, then
pushed the record button before putting the phone back inside the bag and turning to face my angry
sister.
However… just as I was ready to say something, Julio stopped reading the newspaper, ced it on the
coffee table, and started walking towards us.
“Celine, we have also seen the report about what happened yesterday …” he said, maintaining a calm
demeanor despite his icy tone. “Even if we don’t know theplete backstory, how could you have
been okay with it when other people mistook you for Brylee?”
I made an expression that suggested I didn’t want to respond to his inquiry by pursing my lips and
staring at him in disgust.
“But your performance is not that bad, huh…” Sasha interrupted, a delighted smile stered on her
lips. “Tell me anything you want, I’ll buy it for you. And by the way… you can call me mom from now on,
my dear…”
“Really?” I focused my cold gaze on her with a raised brow, the corner of my mouth curved into a smirk.
“Are you sure, mommy?”
“Of course, sweetheart!” she said, hurrying forward and grabbing my hand. “We are family, Celine…
Although I’m your stepmother, I can treat you like my own daughter, just like how I treat your sister…”
What’s her drama this time?
I couldn’t help but chuckle as I wrenched my hand away from her grip.

“I apologize, but I don’t need another mother. I only and her name is Sandra…”
one mother
Sasha was startled and her expression became increasingly irritated. as she backed away from me
and embraced her husband, who was standing beside Brylee.
I snorted as I passed by them and continued down the stairs toward the basement, which was where
my room was, but Brylee suddenly stood in my way and blocked my path.
“You didn’t answer my question, Celine!” she roared in my face. “What happened to you with the
Anderson familyst night?”
I rolled my eyes impatiently and let out a groan as I tried to shove her _aside, but she was unwilling to
move.
“Get out of my way…” I whispered, gritting my teeth.
“Who do you think you are, huh?” she screamed. “Just because my dad has given you permission to
stay here does not mean that you’re going to behave in such a manner against me or towards my
mother!”
At that moment, she was staring at me with a fiery rage in her eyes. And even though I haven’t made
up my mind about whether or not I should tell her the truth, I must say that it was really gratifying to
watch her be both furious and insane at the same time.
But once again, my annoyingly persistent father intervened, and I rolled my eyes in response to the
sound of his voice.
“Celine…” he groaned. “You pretended to be your sisterst night in Anderson’s vi. Although I know
that you had no choice but to pretend to be your sister, you need to tell us everything that happened
while you’re there with them…”
I didn’t bother to turn my head in his direction to look at him. During the entirety of his speech, my gaze
was fixed on Brylee,

“Every little detail is important to us…” he continued. “We don’t want to be blindsided by anything that
comes our way…”
“Well… there were quite a few events that took ce in Anderson’s mansionst night…” I started. “But
I have no idea where to start…”
I gave a shrug of my shoulders and took a stride forward, but Brylee forced me to take a step back by
pushing me. “Did you sleep with
him?”
I just stood there and stared at her in silence before making the
decision to tease her a little bit.
“I’m asking you, Celine!” she growled. “Did you sleep with my fiancé?”
I gave her a huge mocking grin, which made her angry eyes even more pronounced. “I’m not deaf,
Brylee… Why are you shouting so loud?” said, wincing. Then my eyes nced at the clock hanging on
the wall. ‘Oh… It looks like I’ll be runningte for school; I really ought to get going…”
I purposely knocked Brylee’s shoulder as I moved past her, but I suddenly felt excruciating pain on my
scalp, and that’s when I realized that she was pulling my hair, so hard that I almost wanted to cry.
“You bi tch!” she screamed like crazy. “You need to know your ce, do you get that? Who do you think
you are, huh? What makes you think you’re so important?!”

CELINE’s POV
“Did you sleep with Seb?” Brylee continued to speak while her fingers remained entangled in my hair
and she exerted a stronger pull on them. As a result, I felt another jab of pain in my scalp, which
caused me to grimace.
My attention was briefly drawn to my father, who appeared to be pretending not to notice anything while
he was hugging his wife. Nadia could be seen giggling to herself as she stood hidden behind the door.
She appeared to be enjoying watching us as if she was watching a y.
My vision immediately became blurry, and I focused all of my might on striking Brylee in the stomach
with my elbow.
“S hit!” She let out a loud cry, releasing her grip on my hair, and t she stepped back from me while still
standing there holding her
stomach.
“Brylee!” Sasha’s eyes widened, and just as my sister was about to lose her bnce and fall over, Julio
grabbed hold of her.
I straightened up and red at them as I scoffed. “You have to be nice to me if you want to find out
anything. Otherwise… I won’t tell you anything you need to know…” I could already feel that my words.N?velDrama.Org content.
were my biggest weapon.
“You…” Brylee gritted her teeth, and cast a malicious nce in my direction with her gaze.
I gave her no attention and spun on my heels as I continued to make my way down the stairs and into
my room, but I could still hear Brylee venting to my father about something.

“Dad!” she was almost sobbing. “Did you see what she’d done to me? Why didn’t you help me?!”
Dad remained silent, most likely considering what he would say to Brylee in his response.
“I don’t know what happened to themst night…” Brylee continued, and this time around, she was
already crying. “What if she ratted me out while she was with the Anderson family? What should I do
now? You should let her leave the house, dad! I don’t want her to stay here anymore. I know she’s
going to steal Seb away from me!”
“Looks like the wretch pulls up her defences when she is subjected to what are known as “enhanced
interrogation tactics…” When I overheard Julio say that, I just shrugged my shoulders and went into my
room, where I then quietly shut the door behind me with a light thud.
