Chapter 84

84. MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND

CELINE’s POV

The words I said didn’t faze Brylee at all. She immediately started laughing uncontrollably and asked, “Do you really think I believe what you said? I’m scared…” she pretended as though she was terrified by covering her face with her hands before she laughed out loud once

more.

“Of course you’re not afraid of anything because you have no heart…” I laughed sarcastically but deep inside, I was still in a lot of pain for

mom.

Brylee still couldn’t find in her heart to love her own mother, even up until the day that she was no longer physically present on this planet.

“In fact, I admire you very much, my dear sister… You clearly know that your husband-to-be and I were doing something in the restroo but you could be so generous, as to turn a blind eye to it and even cover up for me. Thank you so much…”

“Do you really think that you can get him by having sex with him?” She sneered at me in a tone that conveyed complete disdain. “He’s just messing around with you… It’s very normal for men to behave in such a manner, my sweet and naive sister… Plus, he was intoxicated, so it’s possible that he mistook you for me!”

Wow… what an amazing way to put the brakes on and lick her own wounds. She must be proud of herself…

“Well… it’s natural for men to fool around, and women do the same thing too…” I said. “Playing with your fiance has been one of the most humbling experiences of my life… and to put the cherry on top of it all, his very first time was spent with me. You know what? I had a blast of a time with him. He’s so… so… good in bed!”

But then I looked up and saw a picture frame flying toward me from. above. Luckily, I was able to duck out of the way in time to avoid being hit by it, and the picture frame, which featured Cynthia, landed on the sofa.

Nevertheless, Brylee arrived at my side in a flash and grabbed hold of my hair. “You b itch! You deserve to burn forever in hell!” She let out a furious scream. “Do you have the audacity to fight with me?”

I didn’t say anything, but I lifted my knee and hit her in the stomach with such force that she took a step back and grabbed her stomach with both hands. However, she quickly regained her composure and walked towards the bedside table.

She opened it up and rummaged around inside until I saw her taking out a pair of scissors. She rushed towards me once more and pulled my hair. My eyes widened with shock and horror.

It was too late when I realized that she had already cut my long black hair. “This hair is causing me so much trouble!”

When I reached up to touch my hair, I was so shocked to discover that it had been cut to just above my shoulder. I turned around to loo at my sister, and I saw that she was grinning and holding the hair that she had cut off before dumping it and stomping it with her feet on the ground.

“Is that the best you can do?” I asked, with a smirk plastered all over my face as I looked at the shocked expression on her face caused by the way I reacted to her cutting my long hair. “I’m going to go to the salon tomorrow, because I think it’s still long…”

“What?” she asked, with her eyes still wide open from shock. “You’re not bothered that I cut your hair?”

“Why would I?” I shrugged my shoulders as I scanned Cynthia’s closet, looking for something to wear because I was already shivering

from the cold. “My hair is already short, Brylee… But what if your man still wants me? How will you comfort yourself now?”

She was completely taken aback, and her small hand was clenching the pair of scissors that she was holding.

I walked up to her and leaned over, whispering… “Does Sebastian really become that intoxicated when he drinks? But why did he call my name earlier in the restroom? That’s supposed to be your name, right?’

I bit my bottom lip as I pulled away, my hand sn atched the pair of scissors out of her grasp before placing them back in the drawer.

“Do you think… it’s possible that your fiancé will marry me?” I asked behind her, my lips touching her ear, and I could feel goosebumps breaking out on her skin.

“You b itch!” Brylee was flustered and exasperated as she spun to grab my wrist and squeezed it with great force. “Do you really think you already have him under control? Let me tell you my dear sister… he won’t marry a piece of trash like you!”

“Oh, is that so…?” I gave her a sarcastic grin as I yanked her hand away, walked towards the laundry basket, and took the mini camera out of the pocket of my pants, all while maintaining eye contact with her. Just you wait and see, my beloved sister…

“You have your own house but why do you want to sleep in mine?” a shadow of anger settled over Cynthia’s face as she stood in front of me while I was lying in her bed reading a book, unresponsive to her complaints. “Hey! I’m talking to you! Do you hear what I’m saying?” she threw her stuffed toy at me, which caused the book to fall on my

chest.

I sighed as I got up, putting the book on the nightstand before turning

to face the irate girl who had been acting like a spoilt brat “Why am I staying here in your room? Why am I sleeping in your bed? Why don’t you ask your father about it, huh?”

“You know what? I’ll tell Jake that you like my brother!” she abruptly shifted the conversation’s focus. “How shameless can you be? You slept with my brother but you’re still with Jake! I’m going to let him. know about this!”

“Whatever floats your boat…” I gave a shrug as I stood up and headed towards the window, where I peered out and saw the glistening swimming pool below.

“It wouldn’t bother you if Jake found out about what you did?” She inquired, but I was unfazed by the question. “Celine, don’t you like Jake? You don’t care about him, do you?”

As I turned to look at her, a grin spread across my face. “Cynthia, it makes no difference whether I care about him or not. The fact that you care about him is the most important thing, but you cannot violate the boundaries of morality. Do you understand?”

Instantaneously, there was complete and utter silence in the roo

I turned around and looked at the water once more until I noticed Cynthia’s hand trying to pull the window shut, but I was able to prevent her from doing so. “No…”

“It’s cold…,” but despite what she said, I shook my head.

“It’s cold so you want to close the window…” I said. “Don’t you know that once you violate the taboo, you will be ten thousand times colder than what you feel now?”

Cynthia appeared perplexed as she looked at me and furrowed her brows.

“You hate me, right?” I continued. “You hate the fact that Jake likes

me. You hate the fact that this world is unfair. You hate every single obstacle that is stopping you from your feelings…”

Cynthia did not respond, but her eyes showed that she was becoming increasingly enraged as she comprehended what I was trying to

convey.
