Celeste continued, “But there are many things in the world where sincerity alone isn’t enough to make it happen. We also need


    to consider many other factors. | think you understand the reasons well.”


    Her casual words were like huge rocks that crashed into Steven''s heart, stirring up wave after wave.


    Celeste said nothing else and turned around to leave.


    Be quickly caught up to Celeste and grabbed her hand, her gaze confused and anxious. “Aunt Celeste, why? You''ve praised


    Steven in front of me not just once before, and you have always liked him. Why did you change your mind too?”


    “Liking Steven and marrying my daughter to him are two separate matters.”


    Celeste’s tone was still soft, but her words were sharp and piercing


    Although Wyatt took Steven as his godson, it was only because he admired Steven’s character. But what the Lovett family had


    done recently made Wyatt unhappy. Wyatt is not hungry for power, and he doesn’t care about social status, but we could not let


    Amelia marry into an immoral family like that. | agree with him on this.”


    “Aunt Celeste, Hunter is his own person. He can’t represent the whole


    Lovett family!” Be tried her best to speak for Steven.


    “Wyatt and | have decided. Amelia is still young, and she hasn’t graduated from university yet. It’s too early to talk about


    marriage now. We''ll see in the future.”


    Weird. It was too weird.


    It was one thing that Wyatt insisted on acting this way due to his male ego. But why did Celeste’s attitude suddenly change


    drastically, as if they had reached an alliance?


    “Ms. Be.”


    Be turned around and saw Steven standing alone a few steps away with a pale face, and even his voice sounded cautious.


    “Steve, did you hear everything?” Be felt bad for him.


    “Ms. Be, thanks for worrying about Amelia and me.”


    Steven forced a bitter smile. “Let’s take it slow. | believe that as lo as Amelia and | love each other and stay together, they may


    ac us one day...”.


    One day.


    How long was he going to let his beloved woman wait?


    Steven choked up, unable to continue speaking.


    A bitter and sour pang of pain spread in Be’s_heart. She walked to


    him and patted his shoulder: “Steve,


    you have a tough road ahead with


    Amelia. Ane Bie een easiby\ \\


    influenseGra unt Celeste doesn’t


    have the final say. Your brother is a


    bastard who crossed Wyatt’s bottom


    line, so Wyatt is venting his anger on


    the Lovett family.”


    “Hunter is not my brother anymore.”


    Steven gritted his teeth. “When he


    lost his sense of justice and allied


    himself with Shannon fo powenand

    I''ll go home and tell my father that if


    he doesn''t do anything about Hunter,

    Lovett family. Then | won''t be a


    Lovett anymore.”

    Be sighed and said sternly, “Don’t do this, Steve. Your extreme approach won''t solve the root of the problem.


    “Justin and | will handle Hunter. After


    all, he is your brother and the eldest

    a huge blow to them, your family will

    “Ms. Be...” Steven fell into a deep struggle, his clear eyes welling up with tears.


    “Like me, you cherish your family very much. | don’t want to see get estranged from them. Whether it’s about Amelia or Hunter, |


    do my best to help you.”


    Be’s gaze was burning. “I''d rather be the viin than let you be one
