Chapter 32
Celeste looked at William coldly and said, “William, I didn’t attackyou back then because I didn’t want to soil my hands. But that doesn’t mean I can be pushed
around.
“One of those slaps was for your betrayal six years ago. Don’t think I don’t know that you had eyes for both me and my dear sister behind our backs.
“Later on, you made it seem like I was the one who betrayed you! Even though you cheated on me, you acted like the righteous one, and everyone simply played
along.
“It really opened my eyes.”
ald be treating
Then, Celeste continued, “The other slap was for your hostility five years later. I don’t owe any of you anything. Since we decided to cut ties, we should b each other like strangers.
“I’ll live a good life even without the Hart family’s protection. So, all of you better not talk to me when you see me again. The sight of you people disgusts me!”
After saying that, Celeste pulled Julian away and turned around to go back to the private room without even waiting for their response. Then, Ethan suddenly said, “Celeste, walk away if you dare! If you take one more step, you’ll never return to the Hart family.”
Was he trying to be gracious?
Celeste sneered in disdain at his words. Without looking back, she pulled Julian away and closed the door behind her.
After slamming the door shut, Celeste slowly let go of Julian
She felt exhausted, as if she had just fought a big battle. Even though she had acted fearless and indifferent earlier, she still
felt sad on the incid
on inside.
Her so–called family didn’t want her to be happy at all They always wanted to humiliate and embarrass her. She had never done anything wrong or hurt anyone, so why did they treat her like that?
Julian could feel her sadness, and his gaze turned even gloomier.
He wanted to destroy everything that had hurt her. Yer, he lud his hostility very well
He gently asked, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine,” Celeste’s face was pale, but she still smiled and said, “I’m sorry you had to see that.”
When she said this, she didn’t dare to face Julian. She felt as if she had exposed her ugly scars from her past to him.
She was afraid that Julian would find out she had given birth to someone else’s child for money.
Someone like her didn’t deserve to be in the same room as Julian, let alone lay a hand on Samuel.
That young boy was pure and innocent. Not to mention, he also liked her very much. He would be disappointed if he knew that she had abandoned her child for money.
At the thought of this, Celeste felt an ache in her chest.
She felt that she could no longer stay here.
She hurriedly rushed to her seat to get her bag and said, “Let’s call it a day. I feel a little unwell, so I’ll be heading home. Thanks for the dinner.”
“Ms. Hart, what’s wrong? Do you want to see a doctor? Samuel leaned over in concern and wanted to hug her legs.
Unexpectedly, Celeste, who had always tried to please him, suddenly stepped away.
Stunned, Samuel’s arms abruptly halted.
that. I’m sorry.” After saying that, she walked past Julian and fled the room without even waiting
Celeste apologized, “I–I’m sorry, Samuel. 1–I didn’t mean to do th for Samuel’s response.
Julian looked at the open door with a dark expression, emotions swirling in his gaze. No one could tell what he felt.
Samuel finally returned to his senses and rushed out of the room. He yelled, “Ms. Hart!”
However, Celeste was nowhere to be found.
Samuel’s eyes tumed red. When he turned to look at Jullan, tears were rolling down his cheeks, “Dad, d–does Ms. Hart hate me now?
Julian bent over, picked him up, and comforted him. “Of course not. She adores you.
