As Adrian watched her retreating figure, his gaze darkened slightly. He lifted a band and gently brushed his finger against his lips. To this day, no one knew that ther had lassed -not even Celeste.
She was fast asleep that night. Even if some parts of her were aware, she probably wouldn’t have a complete recollection of it.
Celeste headed to the clinic. She had scheduled some workers to renovate the place.
The contract was delivered two days ago, and she had signed it. Until now, she had yet to meet the landlord in person
The workers told her that the renovations would take a week to complete. Hence, she planned to use that time to furnish the clinic with everything it needed.
All the licenses had been approved. Once the renovations were done, she could officially open for business.
The next evening, Celeste got a call from Alaric, who asked her to drop by and check on his recovery. With that, she grabbed her medical lot and headed straight to the Wrenford residence.
When she reached the from door, she overheard Damien and Margot conversing in the hall.
“Are you sure that’s what he said?”
“Yes!” Damien replied seriously. “Everyone was there, and he admitted to us that the young girl is his daughter.”
“Did you send someone to look into it? Who’s the child’s mother?” Margot’s eyes widened in shock.
“I did look into it, but we couldn’t find anything except that the child is staying at Aviso Tower.
His expression darkened, and his demeanor was terrifying.
“Avison Tower? Isn’t that where Celeste Lives? Why would Adrian’s daughter live there?” Margot furrowed her brows. “Don’t tell me that there’s something between Adrian and Celeste”
“That’s impossible!” Damien instantly shut that idea down. “He must’ve had that child with another woman. It can’t be with Celeste!”
“I know the child can’t be hers. What I’m saying is, what if Celeste is looking after the girl because she has some secret deal with Adrian? Otherwise, why would she help him look after the child?” Margot appeared solen as she said this.
Upon hearing this, Celeste couldn’t stay silent anymore.
This was how runs started
Adrian had anticipated this. That must be why he had carefully gone over the story with her ahead of time.
Without hesitation, she strade into the house. “If you don’t know the truth,
run your mouths behind people’s backs!”

“Celeste, we were just talking about Aditan’s daughter. No one was talking about you.” Margot glued at her with disdain, resuming her position as the matriarch. Damien approached Celeste and grabbed her by the wrist before dragging her to the backyard. “Come with me. I’ve got questions to ask you.”
