“Yes, k’s very painful.”
Celene showed no mercy,
This relationship was long ruined, and she didn’t want to drag it out any longer, getting tangled up like this.
But these words were like a sharp blade, deeply piercing Xavier’s heart, hurting him to the point of suffocation.
“What about him?”
He forced a bitter smile, pointed at Lucian next to Celeste, and asked, “Have you fallen for him?”
As soon as he spoke, both of them were stunned.
Lucian looked down at Celeste, secretly waiting for her answer inside.
But Celeste fell silent
Did she like him?
At most, it was just a good impression.
After all, not only is he handsome, but he also has abilities and cultivation superior to other men, so having a good impression is normal.
But she couldn’t answer truthfully
Since Xavier cared so much, she would take the opportunity to make him give up hope, but she couldn’t openly use Lucian in front of him.
“Who I like has nothing to do with you.”
Celeste looked at him indifferently and said. “You and I are nothing to each other anymore. From now on, who I like or who I marry, you have no right to
interfere with me”
This answer was ambiguous.
She neither said she liked him nor disliked him
But in Xavier’s eyes, he believed she was protecting Lucian
1 insist on interfering!!!
He furiously smashed the vase beside him
The bodyguards outside surged in, and several of them beat Lucian to the ground.
Celeste wanted to stop them, but he grabbed her.
“You like him that much?
Xavier’s eyes were filled with intense pain, but within the pain was a hint of unwillingness: “If one of us has to die, who would you choose!”
“What do you mean
No sooner had Celeste asked the question than he walked over and picked up Lucian, and the two of them stood on the stone tailing.
This meant the understood instantly.
Celeste’s pupils constricted:“Are you crazy?! Are you trying to threaten me with Lucian’s life?”
“No.” He chuckled, “It’s both our lives.”
“I just want to take a gamble, to bet if there’s any place for me in your heart at all.”
She stared at him, her chest heaving violently.
She was so mad the almost laughed:“Xavier, I don’t want to play this game with you. If Lucian so much as gets a scratch, do you think you can walk out of Austin alive!!”
dorant matter anymore…”
Xavier laughed in the wind, and murmured “If I don’t have you, I don’t want to live any
With that, he pulled Lucian backward, falling with him.
anymore.”
Celeste’s heart leaped to her throat.
She quickly lunged forward and grabbed, fortunately catching Lucian’s hand in time, and with that leverage, he climbed back up.
But Xavier fell to the first floor.
“Cess.” His mouth was full of blood, his voice as soft as a sigh You really don’t love me anymore.”
Celeste looked down, her nails digging deep into her palms.
She watched him lie in a pool of blood, watched his pupils gradually dilane, watched him being carried away.
Yet, no ripples stirred within her,
Three months later, at the celebration banquet.
Sloane Group successfully developed a new product, which topped the sales charts within a month.
try was saying that Celeste was a dark horse.
Everyone in the industry was
And that she was chosen by Lucian.
“Congratulations.” Lucian walked over to Celeste, clinked his glass against hers, took a sip, and then said:“His condition… isn’t very good”
Celeste’s hand, holding the wine glass, trembled.
Lau time he broke his leg. The doctor and if he cooperates with treatment and does more rehabilitation training, there’s still a good chance of full
recovery.”
But Lucian gazed at her.
“Not only is he uncooperative, he drinks all day, and there were a few times be almost didn’t wake up from alcohol poisoning. Recently, he was also diagnosed with mental issues and might need to be sent to a mental hospital.”
“Do you want to go see him?”
Hearing that, Celeste was silent for a long time.
Finally, she smiled:“No, this is his life’s lesson, he should face it himself *
As for hers, it had already been handed in.
And it was a perfect score paper.
Celeste’s story ends here, but others are waking to unfold
