Feeling that the hand within his palm gripped tightly, Dean did not move and let Celeste grip his hand, turning pale, 'Poor girl, though I can see she is quite stubborn.'Then, he turned his attention to Old Lady Armstrong, who was still wooing Dean's grandmother regarding the dowry increase. Dean's eyes darkened, 'Looks like that old woman wants to feel something from me!' Dean thought, raising the corners of his mouth faintly.'Alright, this shameless bunch of people dare to speak lowly about the people I care about. They want money? Well. I will fulfill their demands. Once Celeste marries into the Davis family, I will let these people know what it means to speak bad about Celeste!' Dean added in his heart.Remembering what Hugo had explained about the fight between the Armstrongs, the sense of revenge in Dean's heart rose.Everyone present was smart people. They knew what the older woman wanted to do.Dean was in no mood to see this boring family. He did not want to witness Celeste
Old Mistress Armstrong took a deep breath before saying, "So, we thought, that since Celeste married the young master, then we would all become one big family.""We shouldn't act like strangers to each other. Of course, we'll let Old Madam Davis make the decision for Celeste's wedding gifts. It is just-""You can speak what's on your mind," said Old Mrs. Davis.As if given her complete chance, Old Madame Armstrong let go of her doubts, "It's like, Frodo's Company is facing some problems, can we ask you for a favor? I know such a request is quite harsh, but Celeste is about to marry young master Davis. If it's her father's business If things go well, Celeste will also be proud. That's why the Armstrongs have to trouble your family."Celeste suddenly sneered, "I think grandma seems to be looking too anxious. For Old Madam Davis and the Davis family, I am currently nothing."Speaking against Celeste, Old Madam Armstrong's face immediately crumpled, "Celeste, haven't you forgotten? Even i
"Also, the hotels under the Davis Group of Companies, of which there is one in the California area, gave that to Celeste. Celeste doesn't own any shares in our company, so just give us half of the profits we've made.""How to settle about that, only decide among yourselves. The things needed for the wedding, grandma will do the preparations. As for the clothes and accessories, I will leave it to the two of you.""And again Dean, the villa you live in in New York, clean it up a bit. When you get bored with the old place to live, then the two of you can move to that place. Don't be careless, do a neat job, don't let Celeste suffer. Another thing, Martin and Aurel, visit the church and ask the pastor, a good date in the near future. As for the guest list, we'll cover that at home. For now, that's all that is certain." Old Madame Davis immediately took a sip of her tea and continued, "Dean, remember everything I've said? After you send Celeste back, contact a lawyer immediately. Grandma w
Celeste smiled as she watched the show as this family endured. She found it quite interesting.Dean had noticed Celeste's reaction. It didn't seem like the girl was angry, and more like she was watching the show with interest.He looked at Celeste with a doting gaze, 'People pay attention to the property she will have, yet she looks at them like a show. But, if they want this girl's rights, it's up to her to decide,' thought Dean."You think too much, Mr. Armstrong." Old Madam Davis said as she finished her tea, "Celeste's property is of course her husband's duty to worry about it. I believe Mr. Armstrong's family is also busy with your business, so you don't need to distract yourself on Celeste's business, do you?"Frodo's face turned pale as he replied in embarrassment, "It is. We have thought too much already."Old Madame Armstrong couldn't hide her mood, as her face was displeased.However, she needed to be polite with Old Madam Davis, so she steeled her embarrassment and opened h
Mr Martin could not believe it, but it all made sense now, "Is that true?""Wait and see, we will find out."Mr Martin smiled smugly, "If that's the case, mother, I won't be against it. It's just that they—"Old Madam Davis smiled mysteriously, "Things are still unknown, what will happen in the future, just wait and see. As for other matters, why not let fate decide?"The mother and child conversation was like a tangled puzzle. Aurel did not understand at all, "Mom, honey, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand anything?""Aurel, mother knows that you have suspicions and worries about today's matters. But I can assure you that the wedding gift for Axel's wife will be of the same amount as the Dean's. As for Cleo's gift, the treatment given will be the same as well.""Mother, I—" because Old Madam Davis exposed her inner thoughts, Aurel must have felt awkward. However, Axel and Cleo were her children, as their mother's worry was understandable."Alright, you don't have to t
What did Old Madam Davis mean by that excessive gift?Celeste knew how much she was worth. Even if it was meant to compensate, not everyone could handle such an amount of reward. Then, what made Old Madame Davis do that?Also, all of Dean's actions today confused Celeste.In her memory, today was the first time she had met Dean.Celeste did not think she had such extraordinary charm that she could make a man who had seen and met all kinds of women from various backgrounds fall in love with her at first sight.'Then what did all that man's actions do today?' Celeste thought.The thought of Dean holding her hand, comforting and supporting her, the concern and the child
Celeste lowered her head and opened her eyes.The scenery and the person in front of her were extremely blurry. As her normal vision returned, she replied, "Sorry, I've kept you waiting for too long."Dean naturally linked his hand with Celeste's, "Let's go."She tried to push Dean's hand away, but the man's grip was too tight. Even after several attempts, Celeste still failed.'This man! We haven't known each other for three days, but we have the courage to do this,' Celeste thought.Dean's car was parked not too far away, so when Celeste was about to get angry, Dean put Celeste in his car, leaving the Armstrong family's villa.After traveling for thirty minutes, the car sped into an underground parking lot attached to a high-end restaurant. After they got off, Dean and Celeste took the special elevator to the private room that Dean had pre-booked.In the luxurious and spacious private room, ethereal music could be heard from the background.Celeste sat inside lazily on the couch. Th
Dean's gaze changed slightly, "No.""Hah?" It was too shocking. How could this eligible single man never date?"Why, you don't really believe? I have lived a clean life and an honest life."Celeste muttered to herself, 'Could it be that he really has health problems? Or maybe he really has a perverted hobby?'It was as if Dean could read Celeste's mind, again with a stone face, words that came out of his mouth like bombs, and they threw Celeste entirely off guard and made her blush, "I'm perfectly healthy, and I don't have any perverted hobbies. If you don't believe me, then we can spend some time communicating together after we get married."Celeste lowered her gaze to hide the anger in her eyes, 'Dirty old man! Who wants to communicate with you? Dammit, I am innocent!' You want to get into my bed in a dream!'Dean's gaze was filled with joy, 'She is indeed a young woman, every feeling from her heart was perfectly reflected on her face. A plain girl? I don't mind changing that fact.'
