Chapter 120
I was aware that the words I had chosen were as cruel as ever. However… I was just true to myself. I had already made it clear that I didn’t need love from the very beginning. Love would only destroy my life, like what it did to my mother. I heard Uncle Karl sigh before he spoke in a soft and worried voice.” Celine… doesn’t he treat you nicely? I saw on the television that he seemed to be very nice to you. Are you sure you don’t need his protection?” I remained silent while holding my phone tightly in my hand and chose not to respond to his question. “I just hope that you won’t get hurt, Celine…” Uncle Karl continued. “I hope that someone will protect you, since dealing with Julio Lauren is not an easy situation to be in. If there is no one around you who can defend you, I have a terrible feeling that…” I cut him off by saying, “Please, Uncle Karl…” which caused him to pause. “The world can be such a harsh place. If you put all of your faith in the decisions made by others, you will end up humiliatingly disappointed. My mother was a living example!” Uncle Karl did not react, and because I just now realized that I raised my voice a little bit, I took a long breath and tried to calm myself down before I spoke again, this time using a soft tone. “Uncle Karl, I know that you’re only trying to look out for my best interests, but… you have to know that he’s not the person for me…” He heaved a sigh. “Always keep in mind that I’m here for you no matter what you decide to do; I’m always here to support you, Celine…” “Thank you, Uncle Karl…” After that, I got off the call and hung up. When I looked at the time, I saw that there were only two more hours of school left to go before it was over. Therefore, I hurriedly walked down the corridor, and I was just about ready to go to my class when a young lady with braided black hair who was panting came to a stop directly in front of
me. “You’re Celine Anderson, right?” She questioned, barely able to draw in a breath. I frowned as I looked at her from head to toe. “You… you’re Cynthia Anderson’s sister-in-law, aren’t you?” she asked again when she sensed that I was going to ignore her. “Cynthia…?” She nodded. “Yes. Some girls took her into an empty classroom…” “What? Why would they do that to her?” “I think… it was because of a boy, but I don’t know the specifics of what happened…” she said. “When I was on my way to the restroom, overheard a number of girls saying that they would take Cynthia vacant room so that they could teach her a lesson…” A lesson? I did not hesitate and took hold of the girl’s wrist. “Let’s go! But hold on… how can I trust you?” “My name is Jessie…” She said while biting the inside of her lip, and I raised an eyebrow at her. “I… I was once bullied by other students, and Cynthia helped me. After that, no one was ever brave enough to pick on me again, and I owe a great deal of gratitude to Cynthia for rescuing me. I had been following her in silence, despite the fact that she never allowed me to…” After observing her facial expression, I reached behind her trousers, 5/6 slipped my hand into the back pocket, and took her phone before beginning to dial my number. “Hey! What are you doing with my phone?” She questioned, but she didn’t make an effort to retrieve it back. “You’re aware of the repercussions, should I discover that you have been lying to me!” I exclaimed as I handed her back her phone after getting her number. “Come on! Bring me to that empty classroom!”
She paused as she put her phone back into her pocket and nodded. ” Okay!” SAVING CYNTHIA CELINE’S POV “This is what you get for trying to seduce my man!” As soon as we reached the empty classroom, I made a halt and peeked into the door that was slightly ajar, and I was greeted by the obnoxious yelling of a young woman. I found Cynthia dormant on the ground where she had been lying while the girl continued to send her murderous gaze. The girl was dressed in a very short black skirt and a red crop top. The heels on her shoes were about five inches high, and her blonde curly hair cascaded all the way down to her waist, and had delicate make-up on her face. “What’s her name?” I turned to ask Jessie in a whisper, who was standing behind me, waiting for me to act to save Cynthia. “Melanie…” she answered right away. “Melanie Calhoun…” I immediately texted her name to Uncle Karl, asking for information about her. Around Melanie were three other young women who appeared to be wearing an identical ensemble of opulent clothing; yet, their hair was styled in a variety of ways, each of which was distinct from the others. The only thing that they shared in common was the sarcasm and disdain that could be seen in their expressions as they looked at Cynthia. But what surprised me even more was the boy who was standing next to Melanie. He was crouching down, so I couldn’t get a good look at his face, which made me frown deeper. “You have no decency whatsoever, Cynthia!” The young woman yelled once more. “Did the
daughter of the richest man in New York attend this school with the sole intention of stealing someone else’s man?” “You got that right! Shameless!” Cynthia didn’t put up any resistance at all, just like I didn’t when I was being beaten by the girls in the rain, even though they shouted at her and started punching and kicking her everywhere. The only difference between us was that her brother came to rescue me, while the man who was supposed to save her was just watching her cowardly while she was beaten up. However, after seeing this, Melanie felt a great deal of discontent. She approached her, knelt down, and pulled her hair, but Cynthia continued to show no signs of emotions throughout the interaction. “What if I release the footage of you sleeping with my man, huh?” she asked incredulously. “Would it be such a huge success that it would be talked about all across the city?” After that, she let out a resounding chuckle. “Do you believe that your loved ones would take pride in seeing you become famous as a result of an inappropriate video?” Cynthia’s eyes avoided her completely, and she instead focused her attention on the boy who was simply observing the spectacle in silence. When Melanie followed Cynthia’s gaze, she questioned her. “Are you still hesitant to leave him? Johnny, come here…” The young man walked over cautiously after being startled. “That’s enough, Melanie…” He uttered it with some trepidation.” You’ve given me enough of trouble for today!” When I did finally get a look at the boy’s face, I was taken aback. He was an exact clone of Jake in appearance… Now I comprehend the reasoning for Cynthia’s decision to have sexual relations with that man. She’s looking for a replacement to help mend the holes in her heart that were made by Jake. I couldn’t help but let out a frustrated sigh and shook my head in disappointment.
“What? Do you have any compassion for her at this point?” Johnny averted his gaze as Melanie directed a furious glare in his direction, since he didn’t want to make his girlfriend any more upset. “Do you believe that if you’ve found a bigger fish like her, you’ll be able to just cut me out of your life?” Just… free Cynthia…” he pleaded in the end. “She has nothing to do with this. It’s me…” As soon as Melanie stood up from squatting on the ground, she struck him across the face with a hard slap. “Johnny, I’m telling you this… if I’d raised you up in a tw inkling of an eye, I could easily destroy you with one click! You better remain quiet and do exactly as say if you don’t want to end up in that sleepy little country again!” And the young boy fell silent. “See this guy you like? Is it going to be worth it, huh?” She refocused her attention on Cynthia and jabbed her in the head with her index finger. “You have till the beginning of the following week to get 20 million dollars ready for me. In the event that you do not comply, I will distribute this video to both your parents and the entire city. When that happens, don’t blame me for exposing your wild behavior in bed to every man in New York City!” “Twenty million dollars?” I made a triumphant noise with my hands clapping and walked into the room. ‘Oh my goodness, girl… you really do have a voracious appetite!” 3/6 Everyone was startled when they turned around to look in my direction. They became rigid when they saw me smiling widely as I walked towards them. Jessie, who was cowering behind my back at the time, was a little terrified at this point, but I reassured her earlier that as long as she’s with me, they wouldn’t dare to touch her. The three minions were instantly placed in a condition of heightened awareness. I paid them no attention as I strolled right on by, as I made my way over to Cynthia. I got down on my knees and lifted her chin with my hand. ^ “Look at me, Cynthia!” I smiled when I saw her reaction as her sad eyes gradually began to
condense, looking at me with a hint of brightness in her eyes. I stood up and faced the three girls shooting them a piercing gaze one by one. “Who gave you the permission to beat her?” When I inquired in a loud voice, they began to back away, and you could see the terror in their eyes. “Can you afford the compensation of beating her?!” They became speechless as a result of my penetrating gaze, and no one dared to open their mouths to answer me. “Oh… wow! Isn’t she the sister-in-law who gained notoriety as a result of her indecent video?” I was in the middle of confronting Melanie’s friends when I was suddenly interrupted by her mocking voice. “You two-really do belong to the same family. However, she did steal my man. Am I not allowed to make it public? I want justice!” Because she didn’t appear to be terrified of me, it’s clear that she had expertise at dealing with situations similar to this one. “Did you just say justice?” I smirked. “Are we going to talk about fairness with each other? Then let’s have a conversation about it, shall we?” I stated and she frowned in confusion. “To begin, you’re calling him your man?” I pointed my finger at the boy who, upon first seeing me, had the same shocked expression. “If that’s the case, then why was he with her? What exactly do you think this imply?” “Of course, it proves that she’s a s lut, just like you!” she started provoking me. “A wh ore who sna tches the man that belongs to someone else!” “You are incorrect…” I shook my index finger in front of her face, and her eyes widened. “What this indicates is that you are devoid of all charms. You can’t even get a hold of your man. You’re such a failure!” And she was stunned, her throat bobbed up and down as she swallowed hard. “Secondly, the two of you are not yet married, and Cynthia was involved with him without her not having any idea about your connection to each other…” I continued. “We even have the option of
suing you two for being frauds!” “What? Frauds?” she laughed. “Exactly!” I huffed, rolling my eyes. “You didn’t show up until there was this inappropriate video, but Cynthia has been with him for a very long time. It was possible for me to see it as a strategy that had been camouflaged beforehand. After all, not everyone comes from a wealthy family like us!” “Celine Lauren, are you that shameless that you would turn the truth into a lie?” Now, as she was getting more irate, I was savoring every second of it because I had not yet reached my goal. But I paid no attention to her. “Thirdly!” I yelled right into her ear. “You brought Cynthia here in secret to threaten and assault her without 576 obtaining any consent. This is a very significant offense that you’ve committed, girl. How should you compensate her now?” “Dam n you, Celine?” she let out a scream. “Are you attempting to compete with me here?
