Chapter 1301


    Celeste stayed at the hotel for the time being.


    After agreeing to help Celeste deal with the matter, Alex arranged for Celeste to stay in the hotel.


    Then, he contacted awyer to make some legal inquiries.


    When Ernest left, heforted Celeste and told her not to leave. Then, he told Alex to increase


    hotel security. This was to ensure that Celeste would not leave on her own.


    With that, Celeste managed to stay in the hotel.


    Alex soon got in touch with awyer. Overnight, he managed to inquire about various issues


    regarding bing an underaged teenager''s guardian.


    That night, Ernest returned home. Before he entered the house, he saw his mother waiting for him


    at the door with an anxious look on her face.


    There was a sh of guilt on his face. He didn''t say where he was going, which probably made his


    mom worried.


    "Mommy, I''m back. Sorry for making you worried."


    Ernest spoke first.


    Grace immediately said, "It''s good that you''re back. Where did you go? Why are you in such a


    hurry?"


    "Mom, let''s talk in the house," Ernest didn''t want to be heard by others. Since Celeste didn''t ask


    Maria for help, she probably didn''t want to spread the news.


    Thus, he was aware that he had to avoid Maria for the time being and try not to let Maria find out.


    Grace noticed that her son was doing something behind her back. She nodded at him, "Alright, let''s


    go upstairs first."


    "Where''s dad?" Ernest asked as he walked into the vi.


    "Your dad is in a conference meeting on the third floor."


    Feeling much more relieved, Ernest followed his mother to his room on the second floor.


    Back in the room, Grace asked anxiously at once, "What happened? Why are you doing things


    behind everyone''s back?"


    "Mommy, I didn''t want to talk about this., but I''m afraid that you will be more worried when you find


    out. Also, I don''t want you to misunderstand dad," Ernest had a lot going on in his mind and


    exined, "So on my way back, I thought about it over and over again. I still think that I should tell


    you the truth." "What''s the matter?" Grace''s face turned grim unconsciously.


    Grace was an experienced person after all and had gone through a lot of things. Now that her son


    was being so serious, she couldn''t help but feel concerned about him.


    "Here''s the thing," Reluctantly, Ernest asked, "Do you know who Celeste''s aunt is?"


    "Celeste''s aunt?" Grace frowned and asked in confusion, "Who is her aunt?"


    Ernest wanted tough when he saw his clueless mother, "Mom, your life was really surrounding us


    and dad throughout these years. You have no idea about the outside world."


    "Other than these concerns, I don''t really care what happens outside. Quickly, tell me. Who''s


    Celeste''s aunt?"


    "Cindy White," Ernest revealed as he looked at his mother.


    "Cindy White?" Grace was startled. She tried to recall who the person was when suddenly, a figure


    shed through her thoughts. She was startled and asked, "The actress?"


    "Yes," Ernest nodded and continued, "Judging by your reaction, I believe you know who she is."


    "I know, she is a superstar. Before I met your father, I liked Cindy''s acting very much," Grace


    recalled that back then, she met Heinz for the first time five years after giving birth to his children.


    She even saw Cindy seducing Heinz and felt extremely awkward back then.


    Speaking of which, she was also quite impulsive at that time and exposed his privacy.


    For a time, the entire Northern City knew that Cindy was pursuing Heinz, eventually exposing the


    actress''s unruly personal life.


    Simrly, Heinz''s usual ascetic male image had also been questioned like never before.


    Now that she recalled her behaviour, she really did pull off some tricks.


    Aplicated look shed across Grace''s face. She looked at Ernest and quickly regained her


    composure, asking, "What are you trying to say, Ernest?"


    "Mom, Celeste''s aunt is Cindy White."


    "Well, I didn''t expect Cindy to have a sister," Grace chuckled and added, "It''s very good for Celeste


    to have a superstar as her aunt."


    At the very least, Cindy was able to pull through all the difficulties and emerge as a sessful


    actress. She even won severalrge awards and proved her worth through her amazing acting


    skills.


    After all, impactful movies were needed for her to survive in the entertainment industry.


    This was the best way to prove how talented an actor or actress was.


    "Mommy, that''s not the point. What I want to say is that Celeste is on bad terms with Cindy."


    "On bad terms?" Grace was puzzled, "Why?"


    "Cindy doesn''t have a sister. In fact, she adopted Celeste. I don''t know if she has a sister. I only


    know that Celeste said that she was not biologically rted to Cindy and was adopted. Now, they


    are on bad terms and Celeste won''t be able to continue her studies here on her own."


    Grace was dumbfounded and frowned after giving it some thought. She asked, "Ernest, I don''t quite


    understand. Why are they on bad terms?"

    "Because Cindy is still in love with dad," Ernest replied bluntly.


    Grace''s jaw dropped as she stared at her son in a daze.


    Ernest quickly rephrased his words, "My bad, I''ll try to exin a bit more. First, Cindy is still in love


    with dad. I''m not sure if it is true love or not, but she doesn''t seem to be able to let go of dad.


    Second of all, Celeste thought that she was her illegitimate daughter, but it turned out that she was


    not. Therefore, she could only cut off all her ties with Cindy."


    "Wait," Grace was confused, "If Celeste is adopted, does that mean that Cindy suddenly refused


    guardianship of Celeste over someone like your dad?"


    "Mommy, that''s more or less the entire picture," Ernest felt that his mother was quite humorous,


    "Judging from your tone, you seem to pity Superstar White."


    "Of course I am," Grace nodded seriously, "Your dad''s already so old now, so is he still that


    charming? I can''t believe that Miss White is still hung up on your dad. She clearly knows that there


    is no way she could ever get together with him. Is she out of her mind?"


    "I don''t know."


    Grace spected, "Since you don''t know, then there might be some misunderstanding present.


    Maybe she''s just not over your dad."


    "Mom, this doesn''t seem to make a difference, right?" Ernest looked at his mother, not knowing


    what to do, "Neither of them is good."


    "Celeste knew that her aunt was interested in dad, so she was pissed off about it."


    "She just couldn''t ept it and felt ashamed." "No wonder she always looked so guilty when she


    looked at your father. I thought that it was because your father had a livid-looking face and it


    frightened her. I didn''t expect it to turn out this way," Grace murmured. After thinking for a while, she


    suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief, "Hey, don''t tell me that she thought she was Cindy and your


    dad''s illegitimate daughter?"


    Ernest was also stupefied and admired his mother''s vivid imagination, "I didn''t ask her about that,


    but now that you''ve brought it up, I think it might be possible. The problem now is that the DNA


    report hase out, and it shows that she is not biologically rted to Cindy. In other words, she is


    not Cindy''s illegitimate daughter."


    "True," Grace sighed, "Your father wasn''t really that close with Cindy."


    She could recall that back then, Heinz had no interest in Cindy at all. To be exact, he wasn''t really


    interested in the way that a man would be towards a woman.


    He was not the slightest bit interested in sleeping with Cindy.
