Tame Me My Brother -in-Law

GATECRASHER CELINE’s POV After hearing all that happened years ago from Mr. Smith, | am unable to adequately express how | was feeling. | experienced a wide range of feelings, including anguish... wrath... sympathy, and love. | felt pain, sadness, and love for my mother even more, for lovingin spite of all she went through with Julio’s hands. And a deep- seated hatred for him. A resentment that will never go away towards my father.

Now | understood why Judespisedso much, to the point that his beatings cdangerously close to taking my life. He didn’t have much affection for my mom at all. He didn’t love her. And the ache in my heart for her only grew more. My mother gave up much more than her life forand for Brylee... but why did they even treat her like that? For JuLauren... getting married was merely a strategy to get more wealth. He now controlled all of the Stewart family’s riches and had only kept Brylee around as a means of covering his tracks. What a cruel and callous person he was! I didn’t buy into the story that my grandparents had died in a car crash either. There had to be something sneaking around behind there. And it’s imperative that | discover the truth. This indicates that both Brylee. and | were the rightful owners of the money that Juwas spending. Because all of that wealth belonged to my mother.

Everything that Mr. Smith shared withprompted a shift in my perspective. | have decided not to leave Lauren’s mansion any longer. I'm not going with Jenny anymore because | am determined to uncover the facts and exact retribution on everyone who was responsible for the pain and suffering caused to my mother and her parents.

15 +25 BONUS “Mr. Smith... do you have any hatred in your heart for my father?” | asked. “Do you despise him for the fact that he’s the reason why my mother died?” While he was staring at the grave of mom... he maintained his silence, and her eyes turned bright red.

It stands tothat he despises my father just as much as | do.

| turned to look in the direction he was looking and groaned as | crouched down to set the flowers on top of my mother’s grave. “I'm afraid that even in her final moments, she was still unaware that it was Juwho was responsible for causing her death...’ “Celine...” “There's no need to fret, Mr. Smith...” | whispered to the man next to me. “I won't let myself be taken advantage of by the wrong love like my mother did...” Love? | could never have a romantic relationship. Because, in addition to money... this, was also the source of all problems in the world, they root of all evils, just like money.

“You have to leave Lauren family, Celine...” he said again. “If Jufinds out that you know everything, he won't let you go!” | couldn’t help but grin as | stood up and looked at him. “Don’t worry, I'm smarter than that. I'm smarter than him...” Mr. Smith gave the impression that he was at a loss for words. | was aware that he was concerned about me, but at this point, there was nothing that could stopfrom carrying out all of my plans. They will pay for all that they did to my mother and to her parents.

“I will be staying in the city for a while, Celine...” he said as he held both of my hands. “If you need anything, you can cto me. | will help you even if it means putting my life in danger...” +25 BONUS His words caused a lump to form in my throat. Even though this is the first twe've met, | already feel as though I've known this man.

for years.

“Did you hear me, Celine?” He repeated the question while looking intently into my eyes.

“Yes...” | smiled and nodded while gently squeezing his hands. At first, all | wanted to do was get revenge for my mother, but now | wanted to conduct a thorough investigation.

What were the events that took place twenty-one years ago? Everything that had once belonged to my grandparents would be reclaimed one by one, and it would be possible if I had to work on it. | will be the one to reclaim everything that didn’t belong to JuLauren, because he’s not worthy of it.

At this very moment, | was acutely aware of the flash of callousness that passed across my eyes. The look in my eyes, which seemed to crave blood, left Mr. Smith speechless.

| took out my phone and dialed the number for a taxi service, and not much longer after that, the car arrived.

“Celine...” When I looked up at Mr. Smith, | noticed that he had a disturbed expression on his face.

“Don’t worry...” | spoke in a whisper. “Mom will watch overand keepsafe from up above. | am confident that she will protectfrom anything that could be harmful...” “Call me, okay?” he suddenly cried. “Do you hear me? You have to calland discuss every plan you have in mind...” | acknowledged his kindness with a nod and embraced him.

After | pulled away from him, | went back to where | had been kneeling +25 BONUS and bent over to kiss my mother’s gravestone. “Bless me, mom...” | mumbled as tears streamed down my face despite my best efforts to stop them.

| took a slow, deep breath to helprelax, and as a result, when | looked up, a broad smile was plastered across my face.

“I know you can do this, Celine...” | cheered myself silently.

| walked down the path, the path where | would repay all the pain wrecked onwith vengeance.

When | arrived at Anderson’s Villa, the hall immediately struckas extremely spac ious. The entire venue was decked out with the most beautiful, fragrant, and fresh flowers possible.

Flowers, red wines, handcrafted sweets, and a variety of seafood were placed on each of the long tables.

Everything gave off the distinct impression that it was extremely wealthy.

There were perhaps two dozen waiters who shuttled back and forth to ensure that every guest had the greatest possible experience. In addition to this, they arranged for the most well-known pianist in the city to give a performance at the event.

| took off my black overcoat and was now dressed in a seductive long black dress that had a high slit at the side of my thigh. My appearance won't make them think that | was just a gatecrasher. But my face was more than an invitation because | had the sface as the celebrant’s future daughter-in-law.

After pulling my long, dark hair back into a high ponytail, | reached for the bright red lipstick out of my purse, which | then applied to my lips.

| finished my preparations for the party by dusting face powder over my face.

15 +25 BONUS The moment | entered the venue, the air was filled with the most sophisticated pieces of classical music, each one smoothly transitioning into the next.

It should cas no surprise that the Anderson family was one of the wealthiest in the entire city. This spectacle was possibly even more lavish than the wedding of shigh-profile female celebrities.

As | continued to move forward, my gaze was drawn to a tall and strikingly good-looking man who was entering the venue. He was grinning broadly as he made his way towards me.

“Hello to the most stunning girlfriend in the world...” he greetedwith a wink and | blushed. “Long tno SEEN “Yeah...” | gave Jake a sweet smile. Long tno see, my handsboyfie...” +25 BONUS
