110. LOW PRICE CELINE’S POV “But…” I threw the check back, and I was disappointed that she moved back so, it fell on the plate in front of her, her eyes went really wide in shock. “I do not wish to end my marriage to your son, so…” I moved the chair further back and then stood up. “What?!” she shouted angrily. “I said… I don’t want to get a divorce just yet…” I shrugged my shoulders and ignored her reaction, which looked like she was having a heart attack because of the next words that I said. “However… if you’re ready to add an additional zero behind, I might truly consider accepting your offer and divorcing your son as soon as possible… I let out a roaring laugh, tossing my head back and waving my hand in the air as I turned to walk away, but her words prevented me from doing so. “I used to think that fifty-thousand dollars was already consid excessive for a person as low as you, and I can’t believe you’re ask for five-hundred million dollars?” she said, her face was shocked. “So… this makes me think that you don’t really love Brylee that much, because why are you so reluctant to spend money for her, my dear mother-in-law?” I said as I crossed my arms over my chest, facing her. “One more thing… would it not bring humiliation to my husband if I were to give up my title as Mrs. Anderson for such a low… low price?” I jumped a bit when she slammed her palm down on the table with a loud thud, her eyes were glowing with fury as she glared at me. “Who do you think you are to tell me such things?! Get on your knees and beg for forgiveness right this instant!” The phony smile that had been on my face began to fade, but I did not move. On the other hand, my eyes widened when she strode over me with long strides while saying… “So, you want to be my daughter-in- law? Very well then… I’ll teach you what the rules of the Anderson family are!” She then raised her hand to hit me, and I closed my eyes ready for the hard impact, but a loud voice from the living room suddenlyC0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
interrupted her. “Mom!” “Sebastian…” She quickly put her hand down to her side and smiled at him as if nothing had happened. “Mom…? Celine…? What are you two talking about? And why are you standing there?” Sebastian entered the dining room with a huge smile on his face. He looked like he came from a jog outside because of his outfit and sweat that was trickling down from his forehead. He walked towards me and immediately wrapped his arm around my shoulder. “Have you eaten your breakfast?” he asked, whispering into my feigned a smile and shook my head in response. Olivia’s expression of annoyance was clear to see on her face as s fixed her gaze on me, but when my husband turned to look at her, he smile quickly took over. “Come on, let’s get something to eat…” Sebastian remarked as he guided me to my seat. “The workout has left me exhausted…” Olivia was standing still, her hands clenched in anger, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction at my seeming victory. “Why are you up this early?” he asked as he took the seat next to me and started putting pancakes on my plate. I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Olivia had walked back to the dining table and sat down on the chair she had previously occupied. “I’m going to school today…” I responded before I started to eat. “Alright, I’ll send you there later…” He smiled, paying no attention to the fact that I was cold towards him “Did you see the school supplies I bought for you?” “Yeah, thank you…” The way he smiled at me made his mom grimace as if she was disgusted with his son being sweet towards me. “Brylee has gone home!” she informed him, while her fiery eyes did not leave mine the entire time. “That’s good…” he nodded before asking from the se rvant for some coffee.
“What do you mean that’s good?” The focus of Olivia’s glare shifted to his son at this point. “I agree that there are some people who really ought to have left by now, but there are also other people who shouldn’t have left!” Olivia made an unsettling noise by prodding the dish with her for the plate. “Mom’s right…” Sebastian stated. “It’s high time that you paid a visi to your family. I’ll pick you up after you get out of school tonight, and we’ll pay them a visit at your house. okay…?” “Sure…” I put on a phony smile and carried on with my meal. “Cynthia…” Olivia called out to her daughter, who had just walked into the dining room carrying a backpack. “We’d love for you to join us for breakfast…” But the young woman only took up a loaf of bread and started walking away while muttering, “I’m going… Bye! I’m already late for school…” 3/4 “I’ll go with Cynthia…” I whispered to Sebastian and reached over to grab my school bag from the chair beside me. “You’re free to leave once you have completed eating your breakfast.” He ordered. “I’ll give you a ride…” “No, I’m fine…” I responded, and then went out in a hurry. After noticing that Cynthia was about to shut the car door, I sprinted after her to prevent her from doing so. “Hey! What exactly are you up to?” She questioned while examining my body from head to toe. “I’ll go to school with you…” I responded with a smile before jumping inside the vehicle. “No! I don’t want to go with you!” Cynthia protested in response and she started to push me out of the car. “Get out! Get out of here!” “Mr. Driver, let’s go!” After I ordered with a firm voice, the man who was behind the wheel acknowledged my request and then sped out in a blaze of glory. “Hey, pull over!” Cynthia yelled at the driver, but he paid no a to her and continued to concentrate on the road. “I said, sto
are you trying to keep up with her? She is a complete unknown! the car right now!” Nevertheless, the driver continued to drive away, and it didn’t matte how loudly she yelled at him. When we finally arrived at school, Cynthia sprang out of the car and bolted away from me as if I were a plague. I shook my head as I mumbled my gratitude to the driver before I finally walked out of the car. •
