True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1296

Celeste was a little surprised that Cindy had arrived so quickly.

"Who is it?" Liam asked.

"My aunt," Celeste turned around and whispered to Liam softly.

Liam nodded and dropped his guard.

Celeste took a deep breath and opened the door.

Cindy's sharp eyes were right in front of her.

Celeste pursed her lips subconsciously.

"Aunt," she still greeted her.

"Smack!"

Celeste was immediately greeted with a slap.

Instantly, a red palm print appeared on Celeste's face. She was dumbfounded.

Liam took a deep breath. He was shocked that Cindy would be so angry.

"Miss White," He quickly came over and closed the door first. Then, he stood in front of Celeste.

Celeste's face was burning with pain, and she didn't know how to react.

This was the first time that Cindy had slapped her. It was unexpected.

"Liam, get out of my way!" Cindy saw that Liam was shielding Celeste. When Celeste looked into Cindy's cold eyes, she felt a chill run down her spine.

"Ms. White, how could you do that?" Liam blamed himself. If he hadn't told Cindy, maybe Celeste wouldn't have been slapped. He tried to reason, "Celeste is still young. You shouldn't hit her."

Even if she was disobedient, Cindy shouldn't have slapped her, especially considering the fact that Celeste was a girl.

"I'm going to beat her up today," Cindy was impatient and shouted at Liam, "Get out! It's none of your business here. Leave, now."

"Miss White," Liam tried to persuade Cindy and said, "I'm the one who told you, so I'm partially responsible. Unless you promise to sit down and have a good talk with Celeste, I can't leave like this. What the hell is going on between you two?"

"Get out of my way," Cindy lost her patience and tried to shove Liam away.

Liam stood firmly in front of Celeste. He looked at Cindy and insisted stubbornly, "I'm sorry, Ms. White. I'm sorry, but I can't do as you say."

The next second, Celeste walked out from behind Liam. Her hand that was initially cupping her injured cheek was now placed down. She stood in front of Cindy.

The force of the slap had caused half of her face to swell up. That just went to show how powerful that slap was.

"Celeste!" Liam shouted, "Don't come out!"

Celeste ignored him and raised her chin slightly. She stood proudly in front of Cindy and looked at her.

Celeste did not avoid her gaze. She looked stubborn and arrogant.

Only her eyes were red-rimmed, and there were tears brimming in her eyes.

"Aunt Cindy, if you want to hit me, then you can continue," Celeste was absolutely serious, "Since I'm back, I'm not afraid of any consequences."

Cindy frowned, her expression grotesquely grim, "You...! Are you trying to anger me? Who allowed you to come back? Didn't I tell you to live in Heinz's house?"

"Heinz, Heinz," Celeste sneered and smirked. "Who told you that it's Heinz's home? Why do you always bring him up?"

Cindy was stunned, "It's Heinz's home. Didn't you tell me that?"

"So what?" Celeste asked back.

"Anyhow, it's not right for you to have such an attitude. I've tolerated your mistakes several times, but you still dare to act like this. You've become too stubborn."

Celeste took a deep breath and said, "You want me to live there. What is your purpose?"

"I...!" Cindy wanted to say something, but when she saw Liam there, her words became stuck in her throat. She turned to Liam and asked, "Liam, you go back first."

"I can't," Liam was not at ease about this situation.

"Hurry up and leave," Cindy chided.

"Miss White, I can't go," Liam was worried that once he left, Celeste would get slapped again. After all, Miss White looked very angry.

"I'm telling you to leave. This is between me and Celeste. It's inconvenient for you to stay," Cindy remarked coldly.

"You don't want your scandal to be heard by Liam, don't you?" Celeste suddenly said calmly. She looked at Cindy stubbornly and refused to admit defeat.

"What... What did you say?" Cindy's eyes widened in shock. She looked at Celeste, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Celeste didn't want to say it, but Cindy's slap had made her lose her composure.

The anger and grievance in her heart as well as her resistance to her family background made her so angry that she burst in fury.

"Don't you know what I'm talking about? The things between you and Heinz are on the Internet. They say that you sucked up to Heinz, saying that you were his close friend. They say that you've climbed up the ranks with his help. You're already the star actress, but you still want to be his wife. It's a pity that he doesn't look up to you."

Celeste plucked up her courage. Her every word sounded fiercer by the second.

Cindy couldn't believe her ears after being questioned.
