Chapter 197
“Celeste didn’t graduate from some random college. She graduated from the University of T, so what she said about the unexpected rejection should be
true.”
The University of T is notoriously difficult to get into. Only very talented students would be admitted.
Angel’s school wasn’t even one of the top five in their area, so the notion that she was more talented than Celeste was ridiculous.
“Besides, giving away millions worth of jewelry; my own mother didn’t even treat me that generously.”
“If what Celeste said is true, isn’t Angel an ungrateful person? Others treat her so well, and she spreads rumors online and destroys their reputation?” “Generally speaking, people in extreme fear tend to find the person who first saves them the most reliable and depend on them. But after the fire, Angel only attached herself to the Campbell family. I found it weird when I saw the news this kid is too calculating, so it’s no wonder she did such a thing.” The public opinion shifted completely. Compared to Angel’s baseless rumors, Celeste’s evidence was solid.
With witnesses and material proof, Angel couldn’t find a way to refute.
Angel’s face now looked ugly with surprise and rage.
Just as Celeste was about to continue, Shawn hurriedly spoke up. “That’s all in the past. Why bring it up now?”
Celeste glared at Shawn.
He only jumped in like this because he was worried about Angel. When Celeste was being slandered just now, he didn’t seem anxious at all.
“Dad, I didn’t bring this up. I just wanted to know the truth. Haven’t you always hoped that we sisters would get along? I’ve been holding onto this matter for many years. Isn’t it good to get it out today?”
Shawn frowned, “Angel was young and didn’t understand things back then. Didn’t she delete the posts afterward? What’s the point in bringing it up again?”
“So, Dad, you mean that Angel really did make up those stories on the internet?”
Shawn suddenly realized that he’d been tricked.
He frowned at Celeste, “Angel is adopted and naturally sensitive. If she vents her emotions online, can’t you, as her sister, give her some slack?”
Celeste felt like her heart was encased in ice.
Shawn was still defending Angel at this point.
She was about to speak, but she heard a soft laugh from behind, “Your father-in-law is so unfair, dude. It’s almost unbearable. Isn’t your wife his biological daughter?”
Shawn was startled and looked up to see the person talking.
Liam was standing not far away, looking like he didn’t give a damn. The one who had just spoken was Nicolas, standing next to him.
The two seemed to have been observing the scene for quite some time.
Liam’s appearance made those who had just been pointing fingers at Celeste immediately shut up.
Celeste impatiently glared at Liam, thinking, “Why the hell did this guy show up now, stealing my thunder?!”
As for Shawn, he was feeling a bit panicky. He still remembered that after he had beaten Celeste in the hospital last time, he lost several big clients that very night.
