True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1285

Celeste pursed her lips. She lowered her head and didn't say anything in reply.

From the looks of it, she seemed to feel very wronged.

Cindy frowned and reprimanded sharply, "Do you feel wronged? Did you know that because Liam was photographed this time, he won't be able to live in peace in London in the future?"

Celeste raised her head. She wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. Then, she lowered her head again.

"What's wrong?" Although Cindy rarely saw Celeste, she knew Celeste well. "Do you want to refute what I'm saying? If you want to, then tell me why."

Only then did Celeste look up at Cindy.

She knew that her aunt was really angry this time.

"Maria is my best friend. Since I've gotten to know Liam, of course I would introduce him to her."

"You are so loyal," Cindy scoffed, "Do you know how much trouble you have brought to Liam and his team?"

"Aren't all celebrities yearning for coverage? If there is no news, there will be no attention, am I right? Although this news is not good for me, it's not that bad for Liam."

According to Celeste's understanding, celebrities liked to hype themselves and use their private life to gain attention. They would go to lengths to do so.

Even though it was an accident this time round, it wouldn't affect Liam much.

However, it was probably a bad thing for Celeste since she wasn't involved in the entertainment industry.

After hearing Celeste's justifications, Cindy only frowned deeper, "Do you think you know all about showbiz?"

"It's true," Celeste defended herself, "If Liam didn't want anyone to know that he had come to London to study, there would be no need for him to hold a press conference to announce this. Since he has made an announcement, he must have disclosed his whereabouts oh his own."

A light flashed through Cindy's eyes after hearing Celeste's words, but she did not continue to speak. She only stared at Celeste.

"Hence, I don't agree when you say that this piece of news is not good for Liam. Though, this news is the worst for me. I don't want to be found out, and I don't want to have anything to do with the entertainment industry."

"You just don't want to have anything to do with me, don't you?" Cindy suddenly asked.

Celeste looked at her. She froze and said nothing.

Cindy laughed in a self- deprecating way and muttered "It seems that by raising you, I've offended you."

"No, aunt," Hearing Cindy's tone, Celeste felt very sad. After all, Cindy had raised her. Although Celeste was lonely and didn't really see Cindy all the time, she relied on Cindy for food, clothing, accommodation and daily necessities.

"No?" Cindy sneered, "Now that you believe your life is in your own hands, you made a decision on your own to come to London. Now that you're in trouble, you're still thinking of going against me. Very well, Celeste. Very well."

There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Celeste knew that her aunt was angry. However, she was also feeling quite emotional and refused to back down, "Aunt, I have to grow up. I admit that I am largely responsible for this incident and did not consider the fact that I would be photographed. I just wanted to help my friend. If I could turn back time, I would still do the same. I do not want to see Maria disappointed again."

"You are simply being unreasonable," Cindy suddenly stood up, "If you keep acting like that, I will consider leaking your information. Let's see how you'll be able to handle things when the paparazzi finds you."

Celeste was shocked.

She looked at Cindy and pursed her lips. Her face was pale as the colour drained from her face.

She was really scared when she heard that she had to face the paparazzi.

For a long time, Cindy didn't say anything. She just watched the blood on Celeste's face fade away. Similarly, Cindy's expression was ashen.

Celeste froze, not knowing how to react.

At this time, a voice was heard helping Celeste with a smile, "Miss White, Celeste is only 16 years old. You don't have to stoop to her level."

It was Liam.

He was coming down from upstairs and dressed in a white hoodie. It made him look much younger in an instant. In fact, he looked like a high school student.

This was a private house with a modern design. The house was very spacious and had an elegant interior.

Celeste didn't know if this was Cindy or Liam's residence. She just guessed that it should be Liam's residence since he had come from upstairs.

Liam headed downstairs and looked at Celeste. His smile was warm and easy- going as he explained on behalf of Cindy, "Celeste, sit down first. Miss White is just worried about you. It's tough love."

"Liam," Cindy then answered, "This child is getting ruder and ruder. You don't have to speak for her. I'm responsible for educating her."

"Miss White, she's doing fine," Liam smiled again and tried to defuse the situation, "You're just being overly anxious. Let's have a drink first."

After that, he went to the kitchen and grabbed two bottles of mineral water. He then handed one to Cindy, and the other to Celeste.

"Thank you," Celeste thanked him softly and accepted the water graciously.
