Celeste passed by Gary and she seemed calm and indifferent.
The moment Gary heard that she was going to look for Ernest, his entire body stiffened and a chilling aura erupted from his body.
In an instant, everyone surrounding him could feel the cold aura he was emanating.
Maria couldn't help but quiver.
However, Celeste had already left.
"Celeste! Celeste!" Maria hastily shouted.
Gary's gaze instantly met Maria's.
She quieted down instantly.
Celeste was gone.
Maria shrugged and stared at Gary's livid expression. A touch of schadenfreude flashed across her small face.
She sighed loudly, "Gary, don't assume that I don't know what you're thinking. Even if you have successfully lured Ernest to England, it doesn't mean that you will necessarily get what you want."
Gary squinted at her. Having flashbacks of Celeste looking for Ernest, he suddenly turned gloomy.
She cared about Ernest.
The fact that she cared about someone changed a lot. Usually, her intentions were pure and heartfelt.
However, Gary was aware of what her heartfelt concern could mean.
"See, Celeste cares so much for Ernest," Maria reminded him, "Being apart doesn't mean that the distance between hearts will increase. Gary, don't let that beauty become your potential sister-in-law. This would be so pitiful."
Maria grinned. Her small face was filled with excitement and she was not the slightest bit afraid of Gary's cold glare. Instead, she became even more pleased as she commented, "Personally, I still think that Ernest is more suitable for her. Ernest is kind, caring and not hypocritical. He has all the traits of a perfect boyfriend. Who would want to look for a boyfriend who is awkward and hypocritical? Isn't this just looking for trouble?"
"Maria Lowe," Gary glared at Maria.
"Yes, this is the exact expression that'll scare her off," Maria pointed at him and shouted, "If you threaten me like this, I won't help you. I might help you if you treat me better."
Gary squinted at her, his gaze growing even
sharper.
"Don't glare at me. You can't change anything by glaring at me." Maria pointed at him and said, "I have made up my mind, I want to help Ernest. After all, Celeste is also my friend and Ernest is still my cousin. So there is no need for me to help you. You always threaten me, and it's so frustrating."
Gary's livid face did not even flinch after being threatened. His sharp eyes met Maria's and his voice sank slightly as he threatened her, "Mind your own business. Otherwise, I won't forgive you even if you bring your father up."
"I'm going to help Ernest!" Maria shot back, "The look in your eyes makes it so obvious that you are frightened."
Gary just continued shooting daggers at her. After staring at her for a while, he turned around and left.
Maria shouted from behind, "Say something nice, and maybe I'll change my mind and help you!"
However, Gary answered her by turning his back towards her and leaving.
His back was broad and upright.
Maria pursed her lips and sighed. She muttered to herself in dejection, "You're so annoying and awkward. It's easier to talk to Ernest."
Meanwhile, Celeste found Ernest, who was in the yogurt stall outside of the school.
Ernest was drinking yogurt.
Celeste quickly walked over and bought some yoghurt as well. After paying for it, she drank it while staring at Ernest.
