Chapter 1306


    Liam was even more exasperated the moment he saw Ernest. Seeing that Ernest was smiling at


    him, he quickly calmed down and said sarcastically with a fake smile, "Ernest, you are so good at


    lying."


    Ernest yed dumb and just beamed at him. With that, the two of them just stood thereughing,


    and there was an obviously tense atmosphere surrounding them.


    "Liam, what are you talking about? I don''t quite understand."


    "You don''t understand?" Liam sneered sarcastically, "What do you don''t understand? You''re so


    hypocritical trying to y dumb in front of me."


    "Liam, I don''t agree with you," Ernest was not furious at all. After all, it was indeed his fault for lying


    to a friend, but Liam was definitely on Cindy''s side. With that, Ernest didn''t dare to say too much


    about Celeste.


    "Do you know what I want to do now?" Liam red at Ernest, his pupils filled with sheer fury.


    Ernest took a guess. Liam desperately wanted to


    beat him up.


    But so what?


    Ernest was not the kind of person who would just stand there and allow a one- sided battle. He


    would fight back for sure.


    But the only thing Ernest could do now was to y dumb.


    "I can''t figure out what you are going to do!" He shook his head and shrugged innocently, "I really


    wanted to understand your thoughts."


    Liam clenched his fists at his side with a loud crack.


    Ernest still had an innocent smile on his face as he asked," Liam, do you want to start a fight?"


    "I really want to beat you up, and you do deserve it," Liam growled, "Is it fun ying around with


    me?"


    "Of course not," Ernest shook his head quickly, "What tricks can I y with you, Liam? If you didn''t


    come, I would have gone out by now."


    "Hah!" Liam became even more exasperated, his chest heaving up and down. It seemed like his


    anger was about to burst through his chest at any moment.

    Concurrently, Maria hade over and saw that Liam was standing with his back towards her,


    while Ernest was standing at the top of the stairs. It seemed like a fight was about to break out.


    Maria was a little worried and stopped them, "Ernest, stop messing around!"


    "Maria, you''d better go back to your room," Ernest was afraid that Maria would say that Celeste was


    staying here, so he quickly interrupted her words.


    Maria was dumbfounded and pursed her lips. When she looked at Liam again, there was a look of


    hesitation and apology in her eyes.


    She wanted to tell him, but she was not someone who would betray her friends.


    Liam turned around and looked at Maria''s hesitant face. He squinted his eyes slightly. He could see


    that the girl in front of him had something to say.


    "You''re Maria, right?" Liam looked at her and asked.


    "I''m Maria Lowe," Maria immediately rified, "You can call me Maria."


    "Okay, Maria then. Tell me where Celeste is?" Liam was direct.


    Maria was frightened and subconsciously nced at Ernest.


    With just one nce, everything was exposed.


    Ernest was very calm and did not feel sorry or guilty at all. He just looked at them calmly.


    Liam stood on the steps, his gazes switching between Maria and Ernest. He had long lost his


    patience.


    "Maria, are you not willing to tell me as well?" Liam asked, "Aren''t you friends with Celeste?"


    Maria was stunned and nodded, "I''m sorry, Mr. Robinson. I''m a friend of Celeste. It''s precisely


    because I''m her friend that I''m more worried about Celeste. I..."


    Before she could finish her sentence, Liam caught on to her and smirked, "You can''t tell me. That


    means you know, but you refuse to tell me."


    Maria couldn''t say it aloud. She looked at Liam and avoided his gaze. She didn''t know how to face


    him.


    Liam''s sharp gaze pierced through Maria''s words. He was rooted in ce for a very long time. He


    just stared at Maria and waited for her toe clean.


    However, Maria was still silent.


    "Liam," Ernest chuckled, "Did youe all the way to my house just to stare at my cousin?"


    Liam snorted with contempt in his eyes, "You''re putting on such a show. Do you think I don''t know


    anything about it?"


    Hearing this, Ernest''s gaze shed.


    It seemed like Liam was certain that they had brought Celeste away.


    "Liam, I''m also very anxious that Celeste is missing."


    "Bullsh*t," Liam swore out of anger, "Do you really think that I didn''t check the surveince footage


    beforeing? You left with Celestest night and she got in your car. How dare you im that you


    didn''t bring Celeste away?"


    Ernest''s eyes lit up.


    "You took her away and now you''re ying dumb," That exined Liam''s rage as he continued, "If I


    knew she was here, I wouldn''t have been in such a hurry to look for her the entire night."


    Hearing that he had been looking for Celeste the whole night, Maria narrowed her eyes. No wonder


    she found that he looked so fatigued and his eyes were bloodshot when he entered the house just


    now.


    It turned out that he had been looking for Celeste the entire night.


    Maria couldn''t help but shoot a look of guilt and pity towards Liam.


    Meanwhile, Ernest chuckled, "Liam, what about this? I can only tell you that Celeste is very safe. I


    can''t tell you anything else." "Where did you take her to?" Liam demanded, "If you don''t tell me, I''ll


    call the police."


    Seeing this, Ernest was a little helpless.


    Maria also felt that she couldn''t hide it anymore. She quickly exined, "Liam, don''t worry. Celeste


    is with us now."


    Ernest frowned and nced at Maria sharply.


    Maria shivered after being red at. However, she raised her chin in defiance and said, "He already


    saw you, so why are you still trying to hide? Besides, he is so worried about Celeste. As long as we


    tell him, he won''t be so concerned anymore."


    Liam turned to look at Maria.


    Then, Maria pointed to Celeste''s room and said, "Celeste is in that room."


    As she spoke, she walked up to Celeste''s room and knocked on it.


    The door was opened from the inside.


    Celeste stood at the door and saw Maria and Liam, followed by the helpless Ernest.


    In fact, she had already heard all themotion the moment Liam came to the vi.


    However, she did not dare to go out.


    She didn''t want to destroy Heinz''s n because they really wanted to help her.


    Furthermore, she wouldn''t be able to continue her studies by her own.


    All the while, Celeste had overheard that Liam found the surveince footage of her apartment and


    saw that she left with Ernest.


    She was very moved that Liam had been looking for her.


    "Mr. Robinson," Celeste greeted, "I am very touched and grateful that you''re worried about me and


    looked for me for the entire night. I''m the one who told Ernest and Maria not to tell anyone about my


    whereabouts. It''s my fault. If there''s anyone to me, it should be me."


    "Celeste," Liam immediately shook his head. He had fine lines around his brows and looked quite


    weary, "I don''t mean to me you. I understand how you felt when you left, but it''s too unsafe for a


    girl like you to leave so rashly. This is not our hometown. Our habits andws might differ. Do you


    understand what I mean?"


    "I do. Thank you," Celeste felt that her chest was heavy and was quite upset. She didn''t know if


    Liam was doing this because her aunt asked him to.


    Did Cindy ask Liam to look for her?


    Looking at Liam''s gentle face, she didn''t have the courage to ask.


    "Liam," Meanwhile, Ernest walked over. He stared at Liam and said very seriously, "It''s not my


    intention to hide her from you. To be frank, I''m not sure if you are a friend or a foe."


    Liam frowned. When he turned to look at Ernest, his handsome face suddenly darkened as he


    grunted nonchntly, "You are not my friend."


    "Don''t be upset," Ernest was still smiling, "I know my actions were wrong. It''s just that I did this all


    for Celeste''s sake. Now, let mee clean. Celeste has to continue her studies, but we have no


    idea what her aunt wants to do."


    The meaning behind his words were obvious. Even though Ernest did not finish his sentence, Liam


    obviously knew what he was talking about.


    Liam hade to look for Celeste but Cindy wanted to stop him. This really made him very


    disappointed in Cindy.


    "Celeste," Liam nced at Celeste and said, "I don''t know what Miss White is nning to do, but do


    you have a n of your own?"


    Disappointment instantly spread in the depths of Celeste''s heart.


    She felt her heart sink.


    It turned out that her aunt didn''t ask him to look for her. She was just overthinking things.


    "I just hope that Mr. Robinson can pretend not to see me. Please don''t meddle in our business


    anymore," Celeste uttered softly.


    Liam frowned. When his eyes fell on Celeste''s face, he noticed clear disappointment in her eyes.


    After pausing for a moment, he turned to look at Ernest and asked, "What are you going to do about


    this?"
