    “Be, tell me the truth. Have you fallen for that bastard again because of this incident?” M asked

    worriedly.


    “No.”


    Be answered firmly. “I’m not so stupid to jump into a pile of shit. I just don’t like owing him anything.”


    Inexplicably, she felt a trace of paniq, but it quickly vanished.


    “That’s good, then. If you want to get back together with him, you probably won’t have any home to


    M cast a chilly nce at her. “Do you want your family or do you want a scumbag? You choose.”


    Be rubbed at the goosebumps that had risen all over her arms in fear.


    “Be! M!”


    Right then, Sasha knocked on the door and strode in. “They’ve just delivered the gowns for Celeste’s


    birthday party. Hurry up ande take a look! I’m not too good at fashion. After all, I even wore pants


    to my wedding.”


    “Sure, sure! We’ll head over right away!”


    Be hurriedly dragged M off to look for Celeste, afraid she would ask further questions.


    The three women arrived at Celeste’s room, only to find a wheeled rack crammed full of gorgeous


    evening gowns.


    Every single one was limited edition and fresh off Paris Fashion Week’s runway. They were so


    dazzling!


    There were also rows upon rows of custom-made high heels on the floor. A few of them were topped


    with sparkling diamonds, making them look extravagant.


    If she had been any other woman, she would be shrieking in delight by now. One could buy a house


    just by scraping off a few of the diamonds and selling them.


    But Celeste, d in a in and ordinary light purple sweater, sat on the sofa at a loss.


    “What’s wrong, Aunt Celeste? Your birthday ising soon. Wh aren’t you happy?” Be sat beside


    Celeste and put an arm arou in a bossy manner.


    “Be, can you ask your dad nicely to call off the party?”


    Celeste sighed helplessly. “I’ve been going back and forth on this with him for half a month now. I said it


    was fine to just have everyone gather at home. I’m not used to eating outside food anyway, and it’ll be


    so tiring and expensive to entertain so many guests. But Wyatt won’t listen, so what should I do?”


    “Wow! Celeste, you’re showing off, aren’t you?” Sasha teased.


    “If we didn’t know you, we’d probably assume you were trying to subtly show off and make us jealous.”


    M put an arm around Sasha’s slim waist and joined in on the teasing.


    Be’s eyshes trembled slightly, feeling ufortable.


    When she was young, out of consideration for her feelings, Celeste made herself invisible at home


    after getting together with her father. She only saw her bustling around in the dining hall during


    mealtimes.


    At the time, Be could not remember much but knew Celeste was her mother’s love rival, so even at a


    young age, she was very protective of her mother and shed with Celeste often. She often caused


    huge uproars at home and even said a lot of terrible things about Celeste to her face.


    Be always thought that Celeste had too little self-respect. How could she shamelessly cling to Wyatt,


    despite knowing he had a family and more than one woman by his side?


    It was not untilter that she learned the whole story from Asher and Axel after she grew up.


    Back then, Be’s mother had contracted lupus, and Celeste had donated bone marrow to her without


    hesitation.


    That was two decades ago, when medical technology was not as developed as it is now. Donating


    one’s bone marrow was notpletely risk-free, and Celeste had gotten long-term after-effects from it.


    From time to time, she would feel unbearable pain.
