Chapter 92
out “Mom!”
As soon as they got out of the car, Samuel sweetly called out,
Celeste was playing the role of Samuel’s mother, so she was naturally addressed as such. But for some reason, hearing Samuel call her “Mom” sent a sharp tremor through Celeste’s heart.
She was momentarily stunned, and it took her a while to regain her composure.
She gently patted Samuel’s head and smiled. “Alright, let’s go!”
Samuel held Celeste’s hand, and they greeted the teacher before he can off to say hello to his friends.
“Sam, is this your mom? She’s so pretty.”
“Yes!” Samuel replied proudly. Celeste couldn’t help but smile as she started chatting
ing with some of the other parents nearby.
Suddenly, a cold sarcastic voice interrupted their conversation. “Well, well, if it isn’t Celeste.”
Celeste tumed around to see a woman in her 20s. She was dressed in designer clothes and carrying a Louis Vuitton handbag. Her face with meticulously makeup applied was filled with disdain as she scanned Celeste.
Celeste recognized her immediately. It was none other than William’s sister, Quincy Prescott. Her husband, Arthur Burne, and her son, Todd Bume, were standing by her side.
As enemies, they often crossed paths. It seemed Todd was also attending this kindergarten.
Quincy had always disliked Celeste during her time with William. She often targeted Celeste and spoke ill of her in front of Sally and Benedict while going out of her way to please Stacy
Quincy’s face twisted with contempt to see Celeste. With a haughty tone, she sneered, “Celeste, you’re like a jinx wherever you go.”
Quincy rarely visited the Prescott family, but she had heard over the phone that Celeste was the reason William’s hand was nearly crippled and how the Prescott Group’s collaboration with the Hart Corporation and Ford Corporation had fallen apart. However, she wasn’t aware of the full details.
Celeste lowered her gaze. She didn’t want to argue with Quincy in public, especially in front of Samuel.
But Quincy was clearly not willing to let this opportunity to berate Celeste slip by. She continued, “You know, the Prescott and Hatt families were doing just fine while you were gone, but everything went downhill as soon as you reappeared,
“you’re the reason William was in the hospital for so long. You disgraced our family back then, and you haven’t changed in a bit. All you do is bring trouble to everyone around you.”
“Quincy, that’s enough.” Celeste’s eyes darkened.
When it came to Quincy and the Hart family, one had didnapped her, and the other had taken Miranda away. They were only reaping the consequences of their actions.
“Oh? Did I say something wrong?” Quincy stepped closer with an aggressive air.
Seeing this, Samuel quickly stepped in front of Celeste. “You bad wornan, don’t bully my mom,” he declared.
Samuel’s eyes were vigilant as he stared at Quincy, Julian wasn’t there, so he had to protect Celeste.
Mom? Quincy was momentarily stunned as she looked at Samuel.
It occurred to be that they were at a kindergarten right now. Her eyes flicked back to Celeste with a mocking smile playing on her lips. “So this is the illegitimate child you had with some man?”
Several mothers nearby, who knew Quincy was William’s sister, began to gossip and flatter her. Hea
“Who’s this, Quincy? What illegitimate child?”
Hearing this, they started whispering among themselves.
The parents who had
t been chatting with Celeste took a few steps away from her.
Quincy played with her nails and smiled as she continued, “This is William’s ex–girlfriend. She has a questionable character, Back then, she betrayed William and had this illegitimate child with another pan.
“I’m telling you, nothing good follows whenever she shows up. I wouldn’t be surprised if her son is just like ber…”
Quincy’s
‘s ability to twist the truth was impressive. Noticing the judgmental states from the other parents and some even warning their children to stay away from Samuel, Celeste felt a surge of anger,
Enraged, she tied her cold gaze on Quincy and asked in a chilling voice, “Who are you calling an illegitimate child?”
Chancy could insult Celeste all she wanted, but Samuel was Celeste’s bottom line. At this moment, she exided an icy, intimidating air.
