Celeste was stunned. She wanted to say no, but when she tried to tell him, her voice was a little hoarse, "I..."
"Celeste, no wonder you wanted to go to London suddenly. It turns out that it's not because of Ernest or me, but it's because of Liam. I seem to have forgotten that Liam and Cindy are from the entertainment industry. It's normal for you to know each other."
"No," Celeste tried to deny.
"You don't have to explain anything to me," Gary interrupted her lividly, "I need to congratulate you on becoming Liam's girlfriend."
If words could hurt, then Celeste was really hurt by what Gary said.
"Gary," Celeste herself was shocked by the news. Before she had time to think about what to do, Gary's explosive remarks in the early morning had made her head hurt even more.
Gary had flipped through his phone early in the morning and discovered the explosive news. It was on the front page.
Of course, he knew Liam's impact on the entertainment industry.
Even though the photo did not show Celeste clearly and only showed her back, Gary could tell with a single glance that it was Celeste.
His heart was in a mess.
All the assurance he had exploded at that moment. All of a sudden, he couldn't control himself and shouted at Celeste.
On the other end of the line, Gary's breathing was unstable. After shouting, his chest heaved and he couldn't help but cough.
When Celeste heard his cough, she was also dumbfounded. Despite being hurt, she couldn't help but worry again.
She waited until he finished coughing before asking, "Do you think I'm lying to you?"
"Isn't that the case?" Gary replied distantly.
"Of course not," Celeste tried to reason with him, "I know Liam, but I didn't do anything with him. I'm not his girlfriend. I'm only sixteen."
She wasn't?
Gary was stunned, but when he thought of the photos the reporters took showing Liam holding Celeste in his arms, he couldn't help but be angered. It felt like he was suffocating.
"So what if you're sixteen? Do you regret not being able to spend your nights with Liam since you're only sixteen? You can't wait to reach the age of eighteen, don't you?"
He couldn't hold back anymore and said those unpleasant words in a huff.
This insulted Celeste.
"Gary Smith," With teary eyes, she shouted into her phone, "You are being unreasonable."
"I'm being unreasonable?" Gary snickered, "Liam is so polite, unlike me, right? You're trying to be his girlfriend, aren't you?"
"I don't want to talk to you anymore," Celeste shot back, "I'm so disappointed in you."
After that, she hung up the phone.
When Gary saw that she had hung up, he was even angrier. The fury he was feeling just couldn't go away.
He was really going to go mad.
After Celeste hung up the phone, she immediately got up to wash up. She sorted herself out and prepared to call Liam.
Before she could make a call, he had called her.
"Celeste, you shouldn't go to your language school today." "Is it because of the news?" Celeste asked straightforwardly.
"You saw it?" Liam didn't expect Celeste to see the news this early.
"Yes, I did," Celeste's tone was livid. No one could tell what she was feeling.
Liam pondered for a while and sighed, "Sorry, I've brought you so much trouble."
Celeste was slightly surprised. She didn't expect Liam to apologize. In fact, she was actually quite annoyed. Such a situation was a double-edged sword, and the tides could turn on her any moment now. She didn't want to be a target of the media because she only wanted to live a simple life.
"It's alright."
Out of courtesy, Celeste didn't blame him much.
"Celeste, you can't go to school anymore," Liam was afraid that he wouldn't be taken seriously, so he repeated himself, "You can probably go a few days later."
"I know," Celeste also had some experience. When she was with Cindy, she had also been photographed by accident. She said to Liam, "I'll change my hairstyle. I won't wear my previous clothes either."
"That's good," Hearing that, a smile appeared on Liam's face as he heaved in relief, "Not bad."
"This is just a small storm, it'll be over soon right?"
