Chapter 1282


    Maria and Celeste went back to Celeste''s room immediately. Closing the door, Maria lowered her


    voice and asked urgently, "Why did Ernest ask you about your major?"


    In Maria''s opinion, Ernest had a motive for asking Celeste about her major.


    Celeste did not know whether tough or cry at Maria''s mysterious intuition, "He''s probably just


    asking."


    "Just asking?" Maria curled her lips and didn''t agree at all, "Celeste, you are too simple-minded


    sometimes. See here, people don''t get up early without a reason. If not, I''m sure everyone would


    want to sleep in. So, if people ask you questions out of the blue, they definitely have a hidden


    purpose."


    "What''s his purpose then?" Celesteughed helplessly, "Don''t you think you''re overthinking? He''s


    your cousin, so don''t think so badly about him."


    "Sigh," As soon as Maria heard Celeste''s tone, she knew that Celeste was too naive. She could


    only drop the topic and say, "Well, I admit that I''m narrow- minded. So, what are you going to


    choose?"


    "I haven''t decided yet," Celeste hesitated and wanted to ask Maria about her opinion, but she felt


    that she couldn''t say everything. If she told her everything, she wouldn''t feel like herself.


    Reading her thoughts, Maria decided to take initiative, "What do you want to say? Just go ahead


    and tell me. Why are you hesitating?"


    "Gary called me earlier and asked me what I would major in," Celeste''s delicate brows furrowed as


    she looked at Maria with a conflicted expression.


    "Wait, let me guess," Maria was very smart. She looked at Celeste and gave her opinion, "If I am


    not overthinking things, Gary wants you to choose a major that matches his so that it will be


    convenient in the future, right?"


    Celeste was extremely surprised.


    She looked at Maria in disbelief. How did she guess it right?


    Did she know Gary that well?


    "You don''t have to answer. Looking at how surprised you are, I can tell that I hit the nail on the


    head," Maria said with a sigh, "Gary is a very overbearing person to want you to choose a major


    that matches his. However, I have to say that he is really taking things seriously. Looks like he''s


    very serious about taking this rtionship of yours into the future. He''s included your future life into


    his ns as well."


    Celeste''s heart suddenly throbbed, and she felt a little nervous.


    Had he included her life into his ns?


    Was he that serious because he cared about her choice?


    Before, she was annoyed that he was so bossy to interfere in her choices of her university majors.


    But now, after hearing Maria''s words, she felt extremely shocked.


    Suddenly, she realized that she had been very rude towards him.


    "What? Did you refuse him?" Maria asked with concern.


    Celeste nodded and admitted, "I was in a bad mood when I heard that he wanted to interfere with


    my choices. So, I didn''t tell him."


    In short, she hated being easily manipted and being forced to change her future aspirations.


    She felt disgusted and could not ept it.


    In addition, the future was full of uncertainty.


    Her birth was not weed by others. She had no parents, only Cindy, the actress of the century.


    Ever since she was born, many people said that she was Cindy''s illegitimate daughter. In fact, she


    also suspected that she was Cindy''s illegitimate daughter, but she could not confirm it.


    She wanted to take a DNA test, but what would the results yield?


    If she was, so what?


    If she wasn''t, so what?


    Celeste was lost.


    That part of her life was far out of her reach. In that case, her future career and happiness should at


    least be under her control.


    However, Gary''s attitude immediately put her on guard.


    She really didn''t like it.


    However, Maria''s words made her feel that she had gone too far.


    He cared about her, so he had asked her back then.


    "If you don''t tell him, then that''s that. You have to choose ording to your preference," Maria did


    not care and exined, "Don''t worry too much. Choose what you like. Women who don''t rely on


    men are outstanding. If you rely on him all the time, then your life will be very boring."


    "Maria, Ernest said that Gary is the eldest son of the Jones family. He will be responsible for the


    family in the future," Celeste was still affected by Ernest''s words.


    After hearing this, Maria blinked before shaking her head, "I don''t think so."


    Celeste was stunned and asked, "Do you have a different opinion?"


    "Gary''sst name is Smith, did you notice? Gary hasn''t even addressed his father as his dad even


    until now. He hasn''t changed his surname and still stubbornly follows his mother''s surname, Smith.


    ording to what I know, my aunt''s father''s surname is Yarbrough. In short, that''s something from


    the past generation. Look, he isn''t even willing to call him father, and still refuses to change hisst


    name. Where''s the sense of responsibility and burden that he is supposed to carry?" Maria had a


    feeling that Gary would be unwilling to do so.


    "But Ernest said so."


    "I don''t think that Ernest knows Gary that well."


    Celeste was confused.


    "Since young, I''ve always felt that Gary would be an amazing entrepreneur. He''s not the type of


    person who would just rely on his inheritance. As for Ernest, the older he grows, the more he acts


    like a fox. He''s slick and cunning." "An entrepreneur?" Celeste frowned slightly, "Are you saying that


    he won''t inherit his family''s business but will go and start his own business?"


    "Yes," Maria nodded and informed Celeste solemnly, "Gary is that type of person. Think about it, he


    has three siblings, two brothers, and a younger sister. Even though his family isrge, there are


    many restrictions ced on him."


    Was it that weird?


    Celeste had never thought about these problems.


    Maria seemed to be all-wing. She knew almost everything about the twins clearly. Her analysis was


    logical and reasonable.


    "Gary doesn''t want to inherit the family business. He also doesn''t want to be restricted. Simrly, my


    dad keeps asking me to take care of my brother. You know that in my family, the only children in the


    family are my brother and I, and my brother is much younger than me. I''m not willing to take over


    my father''spany at all. I think I''ll be too tired. My dream is simple."


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "What is it?"


    "Find a job with a good ie. You can earn your own living, and that''s all I want."


    "Your dream is very realistic, and it''s what many people want," Celestemented, "But I''m afraid


    your father won''t agree." "He probably will," Maria said, "What I''m telling you now is that Gary hopes


    that you two can work together in the future, and you can also bepatible with him."


    Gary had said the same thing yesterday. Now that she heard Maria''s words, Celeste''s heart skipped


    a beat.


    "Think about it. It''s gettingte. I''ll go to sleep first," Maria patted her on the shoulder and turned


    around. Then, she opened the door and left.


    As soon as she came out, she saw Ernesting upstairs. Seeing that, Maria stopped and looked


    at him with a smile.


    "Hey Ernest, you''ve juste upstairs."


    Ernest looked at her and said calmly, "It''s gettingte. Go to bed early."


    "Ok, Ernest. You''re choosing an economics major?" Maria asked again.


    "That''s right," Ernest nodded.


    "Oh," Maria thought for a moment and said, "I see you want to inherit the family business."


    Ernest did not say anything as he looked at Maria. He had already walked up the stairs and stood in


    the corridor as he said, "The difficulty of inheriting a business is far higher than starting your own


    business. If the enterprise fails, it won''t be such aughingstock. However, failing to get an


    inheritance will garner big criticism."


    "You''re very capable, so no one will judge you," Maria shrugged, "But you''re very responsible.


    That''s good."


    After saying that, Maria smiled and she entered her room.


    Ernest narrowed his eyes and watched her disappear into her room. He smiled exasperatedly and


    went back to his room.


    The next day, they woke up early in the morning.


    Celeste got up early and browsed through the news habitually. She was immediately shocked by


    the content of the news.


    The main headline read, "Liam''s suspected secret lover exposed when going to London to study?"


    There was arge photo attached below the headline. It showed Liam holding Celeste in his arms


    with his back to the camera. His eyes were extremely sharp, and he was looking directly into the


    camera.


    She looked at the picture and scrolled to the very bottom. Another photo attached there showed


    Liam running with her into the building.


    Celeste was stunned.


    She didn''t expect to be photographed by someone.


    The content of the news article was that Liam''s girlfriend was studying in anguage school In


    London with Liam.


    In short, there were a lot of spections about Liam and his suspected lover.


    The more she scrolled down, the more afraid she grew.


    Celeste then read through thements. Many of Liam''s fans dered that they would stop being


    his fan and also start a cyber manhunt for his girlfriend.


    It was not that Celeste had never experienced such a situation, but she hadn''t expected such a big


    reaction. It was far more horrible than when she was rumored to be Cindy''s illegitimate daughter.


    Liam was so young and his future was bright. Moreover, he had hundreds of thousands of female


    fans. Those female fans could not ept Liam having a lover. Even if it was only fake news with no


    credibility, it was hard for the fans to ept this piece of news.


    Moreover, most female fans had also expressed being heartbroken and being unable to ept his


    rtionship.


    Amidst her fright, the phone rang.


    She quickly picked it up and saw that the call was from Gary.


    Celeste was stunned and quickly answered the call.


    Gary''s deep and sharp voice was heard over the phone saying, "Did you refuse me because you''re


    Liam Robinson''s girlfriend?"
