Chapter 30
Sharp and nimble, William stopped Ethan and said, “Mr. Hart, calm down.”
Stacy looked at William, feeling somewhat unhappy. She didn’t understand why he had stopped Ethan. However, she couldn’t express her unhappiness either, so she frigned kindness instead.

are you so agitated? Am I wrong?
She walked over, patted Ethan’s back, and said, “Dad, don’t be upset. You can’t let this affect you
Susan also walked over and advised, “Yeah, you finally got to see her after a while. Let’s be civil.” Celeste felt even more disgusted as she looked at their feigned act of familial affection. She scotted and mocked, “Why are yo
“You.” Ethan wore a twisted expression
When Benedict and Sally saw Celeste’s cold attitude, they felt as if they didn’t know her anymore…
They were also secretly glad they had broken off their son’s engagement with her. Otherwise, Celeste would’ve angered them with her behavior too. “Celeste, no matter what happened between you two, Ethan is still your father. How disgraceful of you to talk to him like th
that. How could you say that he’s dead to you?” Benedict scolded Celeste with a frown. He was no longer as kind as he had been to her back then.
Sally also said in disgust, “you got kicked out of the family because you did a shameful thing. It’s bad enough that you didn’t feel remorseful, but you’re e being rebellious now.
your mother! It’s your own fault that you ended up this way!”

When Celeste heard Sally’s words, she narrowed her eyes at her. There was even a hint of anger in her cold gaze.
Then, she remembered something.
Back then, when Sally had insisted on breaking off William’s engagement with her, it wasn’t because she had given birth to a child. Rather, it was because she had lost power in the Hart family.

Ultimately, Sally had played a part in Stacy’s relationship with William,
Even though Celeste didn’t care about that scumbag, William, she couldn’t ignore Sally’s scheming behavior back then either. She coldly looked at Sally and sheered, “Since you people didn’t even feel remorseful, why should I? Do you really think you’re still my family? Get the hell away from me!”
sally hadn’t expected Celeste to actually be this nude to her. She had never been disrespected like this in her life. She was so angry that she trembled. “Celeste, you’re just too rude!”
William was also furious. He said, “Celeste, apologize to my mom right now!

william’s expression tumed eerily dark. This was already the second time.
Celeste, the woman who had been submissive back then, was now saying rude things like this.
William couldn’t stand it and immediately raised his hand to slap Celeste.
Celeste had been caught off guard, so half of her face was numb from the slap. Her ears
He was a than, so he was naturally stronger than Celeste. Not to mention, were ringing too, and she couldn’t really hear anything apart from that. Everyone, including William, was stunned for a moment when they finally realized what he had done.
William was about to say something, but before he could, Celeste slapped him back twice in retaliation.
