68. BABYSITTER
CELINE’S POV
“What the heck is going on around here?” The room was suddenly filled with the sound of a dignified
voice, and everyone in it, including me, turned to look at the person who was walking over with a
powerful presence and an authoritative personality.
That person was no other than Mr. William Anderson. The powerful and rich man who owned the ce,
and the father of the young woman who I had just finished scolding.
I couldn’t help but scowl at the delighted expression on Cynthia’s face when she saw her father walking
over. He would unquestionablye to the defense of his spoiled brat of a daughter.
“Daddy…” the youngdy whimpered as she ran toward her father and tightly hugged him while crying
her eyes out loud. “Dad, thank you, you’re here…”
Everyone immediately stepped back and made way for the elderly
man. Their eyes were on me, and I could tell that they were probably thinking that I was going to be in
a lot of trouble because I had hurt his unica hija’s feelings by telling the truth about her attitude.
I also noticed that my father was casting a murderous gaze in my direction, and I realized that if I
continued to cause trouble, it would. be the same as approaching the threshold of death. I c ocked my
eyebrows and spun on my heels before striding confidently in the direction of the door.
But before I could take more than two steps, I heard the voice of the rich man calling my name.
“Celine… am I right?” I was taken aback by the fact that he could still

remember my name, so I stopped in my tracks and turned around, facing him.

At this very instant, Sebastian and Brylee, who had been standing and watching from a further
distance, walked over as well.
I showed Mr. Anderson the proper amount of respect by bowing my head, and then I forced myself to
smile, avoiding Sebastian’s gaze.
“Daddy…” Cynthia pulled at his sleeves, causing him to shake his head. As she red at me and
puckered her red lips, it was very clear that she was trying to be coquettish. “Did you see what this
woman.
did to me?”
“Yes, Sir… My name is Celine. What is it that I can do for you?” I
asked, biting my lip. I was praying that he wouldn’t discipline me like my own father had done to me.
He started by saying, “I want to hire you for a month…” and I frowned in confusion at the proposition.
Hire for what? I don’t need a job and I’m still studying. And for a month only? Why?
And as if Mr. Anderson had overheard what I was thinking at the time, he went on. “You and my
daughter will live in the same roof and go to the same school from now on. I want you to help her get
rid of that haughty attitude of her. Within one month!”
What? What I just heard was iprehensible to me. Me? A
babysitter for this spoiled brat? Oh, please…
The old man’s words shocked everyone as well, most especially Sebastian and Brylee.
“Dad! What are you saying?” Cynthia waspletely stunned, and the hand that had been firmly
grasping her father’s sleeve began to
loosen.

“I’ve heard everything that you’ve said to my daughter…” The expression on the elderly man’s face was
so solemn that he disregarded his daughter’s outbursts. “Indeed, Cynthia has many aspects in which
she needs to change. We’ve been focusing on making money over the past few years, neglecting her
education. Her brother dotes on her very much, so she’s even more arrogant. Now that I’ve heard
someone like you who didn’t hesitate to educate her with your words, I think you can give a try at
changing her attitude…”
A grin appeared on his face as he finished his statement.
“Why on earth would you hire me when you have all the money to hire a professional one?” I inquired
due to my bafflement. “Sir… I’m just a student, and what I have said to your daughter was derived from
my own personal experiences; I don’t…”
I was cut off by Mr. Anderson’s hearty chuckle. “Who else do you think is more courageous, more
forthright, and more arrogant than you are?”
His words made me amused at him, but Cynthia appeared to be reaching her breaking point.
“Dad! You can’t possibly mean that!” She yelled out in exasperation while stomping her feet in
response. “Why on earth would you even consider hiring a wh ore like her!”
“Shut up, Cynthia!” Her father rumbled while looking disapprovingly at her. “If I’m beingpletely
honest with you, I couldn’t be more disappointed with you. I know it’s my fault that you became like this.
I realized a long time ago that the reason you are bing more and more arrogant is because you
are too spoiled, but I did nothing to change this attitude of yours despite the fact that I was aware of it.
If you keep acting like this, it would not bode well for your future at all!”
“I don’t want it! I don’t want her!” she shouted to her father. “Who

does she think she is? She’s just a nobody! She’s—” she swallowed her words when she noticed her
father’s stern expression with dark. eyes and clenched fists.
And then I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Brylee had hurried
over to us.
“Sir… Celine is still young and offended a lot of people. I don’t think it’s appropriate for her to be
Cynthia’s guide…” she said as her fiery eyes looked at me while she spoke.
“It’s okay, Brylee…” The man shed a grin. “There’s no need for you. to be concerned about your
sister… Afterward, he shifted his posture to face me. “Celine… let’s talk about this tomorrow so we can
get your thoughts… Oh, no… why don’t you stay here for tonight?”
When he reached out and patted me on the shoulder, it caused me to feel embarrassed, so I looked
down at the ground instead.
“Daddy!” Cynthia was disgruntled. However, Mr. Anderson did not offer any furthermentary or
indicate that he had changed his mind as he looked around the room and began the announcement.
“I would like everyone to please resume their activity. I am truly sorry for the manner in which my
daughter has behaved. There is an important decision that we will be announcingter on…”
When everyone heard this, they all dispersed, and Cynthia stomped her feet and flounced off after her
father, who was also leaving the
venue.
