93. VIRAL
CELINE’s POV
After a few moments, the entire city of New York was nearly brought to its collective knees by the news
that Sebastian Anderson had finally gotten married, which he had posted on his personal ount on
one of the social media tforms.
On the other hand… the name that appeared on the marriage
certificate was not that of Brylee Lauren but rather that of her sister, Celine Lauren, who is none other
than me.
I wasn’t sure what to think at the time, but just the idea of the Lauren family getting angry was enough
to make me silently celebrate the
oue of what I’d done.
After pulling out my phone, I discovered that the general public was in an uproar, and within a short
amount of time, our marriage became a topic of conversation and began trending on social media.
This caused my lips to curve higher as I smiled in victory.
Have people shared it too quickly?
Some people were skeptical about the validity of the marriage. between the affluent son of the
Anderson family and the notoriously reckless second daughter of the Lauren family.
And the video from the wedding scene went viral almost instantly as well… and everyone was very
ecstatic about it.
There was a wide variety ofmentary published across a variety. of tforms. Some people even
went so far as to boldly specte that there were many different types of grudges and entanglements,
in addition to secrets that were unknown to the general public.

There must have been a lot of people at the hospital where Brylee was taken by this point, causing it to
be crowded and noisy.
On the other hand, the vast majority of thements that I perused were focused on me, Celine the sl
ut…
I was pulled out of my thoughts by Sebastian’s phone ringing, and he answered it while he was driving
and pressed the loud speaker button.
“Mr. Anderson, we’ve arranged for the moderators to be here…” The
interior of the car seemed to reverberate with the sound of a man’s
voice that was very recognizable. “Every post andment will be deleted right away…” he reported to
Sebastian in a hurry.
“Okay, Jason. Thank you for informing me…” he said before he hung up the phone, and shortly
thereafter, he drove up in front of Anderson Vi, but the security guard there refused to let me in.
“I’m sorry, young master, but your mother gave me instructions that Miss Celine is not allowed to enter
the vi without her permission…”
After hearing what the guard had to say, the man’s expression
changed from serious to somewhat fearful.
“Back off!” Sebastian snarled while gripping my hand firmly.
“But Sir…”
“I said, f uck off!” he shouted, and I jumped, removing my hand from his grasp. “She’s my wife now!”
“I-I’m sorry, young master…” The security guard’s eyes widened as he stammered and immediately
stepped back and opened the door for us, backing out of the way… but Sebastian shoved him, making
me step back from them, and I headed my way into the living room alone, where I saw the ser vants
taking down the decorated flowers around
the house.

Because everyone was so busy… it appeared that nobody had noticed that I was there. I continued to
walk further until I reached the staircase, at which point I abruptly heard someone call my name. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.
“Celine!” I came to aplete halt and turned around, only to find. Jakeing toward me while still
dressed in his best man’s suit and bearing a bewildered expression on his face.
“Jake…” I said, sending him a small smile. “L-long time no see…”
Jake did not return my smile and instead cast a frown in my direction while disying an extremely
pained expression. “Is what I read on the inte really happening? D-did you two actually get
married?”
My eyes shed, and my eyshes flittered slightly as I bit my lip. “Y- yes… we got married.”
“But why?” he asked, staring straight at me. “Why would you marry my cousin? Isn’t he the person your
sister wants to marry?”
I heaved a sigh, rolling my eyes at him. “Is there aw that allow stolen marriages?”
His eyebrows furrowed deeper as he clenched his fists. “Is everyt that was written online true?” His
tone was somewhat anxious, but sounded more like being upset.
“Jake…” I made an effort to stop him from asking, but he brushed it off.
“Thements were saying that you… you are poor and you idolize the rich, thus you were
determined to seduce your brother-inw just to be Mrs. Anderson. Are you not exactly the same
as those famous people who would do anything for wealth and fame? Why? What was my cousin doing
with you in the washroom that day? Was it like… what they had said… a part of your… scheme?”

I shot a slicing re back at him after I heard him say those words. Are you done?” I turned around and
walked towards the kitchen but I heard him speak again.
“Why aren’t you taking the time to exin to me what’s really going on?” Jake yelled at me from
behind. “Why don’t you debate and exin for yourself?”
I took a deep breath before I answered him without even bothering to turn around and look at him.
“Theirments weren’t wrong. I was just trying to achieve my goal, and I’m indeed a woman who’s
willing to do anything to get what I want!”
I heard him heave a sigh of defeat, and when I turned to look at him, he was staring at me with a
broken-hearted expression. He turned away from me without saying anything else before walking
away.
Over the years, I got used to being silent. I have no habit of exining things to anyone. Moreover… I
didn’t want Jake to know the truth because I knew that if he did, it would hurt him even more than it
already does.
As I proceeded further inside the house… I saw an open room and I walked inside to check who they
were and I saw Sebastian’s father having a conversation with some older men who appeared to be
their immediate rtives. The moment they allid eyes on me, they became rigid.
“Could that possibly be Celine?” I overheard the man with the dark hair sitting next to William Anderson
asking, and in response… he nodded before greeting me with a brief smile.
Mr. William Anderson was a very impressive man. In spite of everything I’d done to his family, he was
still pleasant to me and didn’t show any animosity towards me. And I was d to know about that.
“Does she even have the audacity toe here?” The other man, who
+25 BONUS
had gray hair and wore it in a brush-up style, said something, and then everyone started talking about
me, with the exception of William, who shook his head and gave me an apologetic look.
As they continued with their conversation, I stole a chilly nce at them and noticed the irony and
contempt in their expressions. I
couldn’t help but c rack a grin as I turned to leave.
“Excuse me, I’ll just go upstairs…” I informed them, having purposefully made my tone severe.
“Have the two of you picked up the certificate of marriage yet?” William asked and it made me think
that they had never bothered to check their phones or read the news yet, so they didn’t have any idea
that Sebastian had just posted it on his personal social media
ount.
“Yes…” I nodded, lowering my gaze to the ground.
“Oh my G od! What on earth was Sebastian contemting?” everyone started rambling again.
“You got that right! Wasn’t it enough that he’d embarrassed our fami already today?”
“Uncle Jack… it seemed to me that you were very dissatisfied with my wife…” Suddenly, a familiar and
maic voice sounded, and I turned to look at Sebastian, who had just strode in.
He merely threw his jacket to the maid that was standing at the corner, waiting for some order toe
her way.
The next instant, he approached me, put his arm around my waist, and gave his elders a stern look
before saying, “Dear uncles, this is my wife, Celine… Have you thought of anything nice you could say
to her?”
His voice, which was typically soft and soothing when he talked to his

rtives, came across as harsh this time.
It seemed as though the elderly gentlemen were trying tomunicate by exchanging looks with one
another… but it was difficult for anyone to articte what it was that they wanted to say.
Everyone was also aware that in the event that Sebastian ever lost his temper, there was nothing that
could be done to stop it. Especially when theirpanies had connections with my husband, they
really
had to be cautious with their words.
“T
“Oh, Sebastian…” The man with the dark hair, whose name was Jack,ughed. “I know you think your
Uncle Robert is being mean, but he wasn’t trying to be. But the incident that urred today was
already quite serious, and yet you had to register your marriage with Celine at the same time. They are
specting that this will undoubtedly have an impact on our family and that the value of our stock will
drop significantly the day after tomorrow..”
“Really?” Sebastian beamed, and it appeared as though he didn’t give
a hoot about the things that his elders were trying to caution hi about. “Are you only concerned about
the stock market?”
“You are aware that is not the case, right?” Jack lost his cool and snapped. “I’m concerned as well
about our name. It’s for the sake o the Anderson family that I’m thinking about this!”
“Then it’s only right that I thank you?!” Seb said. “Regarding the stock market, regardless of whether or
not it rises or falls tomorrow, I will not let this small amount of money faze me in the least!”
Seb took me by the hand and led me to the upper floor after he had finished saying those words. Even
after we had left, I could still hear
them continue to talk about us.
“William, what could possibly be wrong with your son? What does he mean unfazed? Is a hundred
millions of dors supposed to be
+25 BONUS
yed like that? Is it really a small amount of money for him?” Jack asked, and Seb’s grip on my hand
became increasingly firm.
“Alright, let’s all calm down first… It’s not like you don’t know Seb’s temper. Let’s just go with the flow
for the time being, and wait till I get a proper discussion with him…” William said and I heard Seb
chuckle as he suddenly lifted me, which caused me to shriek, and he carried me bridal style into his
room.
