Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 543 Saw a Flicker of Hope

Kenneth quietly paid attention to the changes in Elise’s behavior, and the corners of his mouth curled up

happily. Before, he had always been worried that Elise only loved him when he was Alexander, who was

a righteous and bright man, and would not be able to accept his other side, Kenneth.

However, now, he finally saw a flicker of hope.

Upstairs, Celina was indulging in the strength and sweet words of “Kenneth” when suddenly there was a

loud sound behind her as the door of the room slammed open from the outside.

In an instant, the two people on the sofa quickly separated and grabbed their clothes, covering the

exposed parts of their bodies.

Celina looked at the entrance in panic, only to see David aggressively rushing in, his expression

contorted from restraining his anger, his eyes fierce and unforgiving.

“Daddy…”

At the sight of her father, Celina lost all of her wits and couldn’t even find any words to speak. However, a

few seconds later, she quickly reacted and adjusted her skirt that she was holding up to her body.

On the bright side, the one who had entered was David, and not anyone else. Therefore, although Celina

was a little flustered, she was not worried. After all, the person she had slept with was Kenneth. On the

contrary, she was afraid that no one would know about this fact. The more rumors were spread, the more

far-fetched they would become, leaving Kenneth with no chance to have second thoughts.

Now that what was done was done, it was impossible for Kenneth to shirk responsibility even if he

wanted to. If a man lost his temper, a woman would not stand a chance. Therefore, Celina had to be

careful.

In that case, David’s appearance was a godsend to her.

As Celina fixed her appearance, she caringly covered “Kenneth” with his jacket. Of course, she was only

pretending to cover his face. In reality, she was yanking down his jacket with her every action. She had

to let the whole world know that Kenneth had slept with her!

Unfortunately, “Kenneth” was too strong, and Celina couldn’t pull his jacket down at all. With no other

choice, she could only face David with a helpless and pitiful expression. “Dad, why are you here…”

David’s face flushed with anger as he gritted his teeth. He covered his chest with one hand and pointed a

finger at Celina, roaring, “H-How could you still have the cheek to ask me that? There are so many

guests below, but you didn’t greet them and hid here to partake in this shameless act instead! You really

are as cheap as your mother. You can’t live without a man, can you?!”

David, who had never raised his voice at Celina, couldn’t help but lose his temper.

On the other hand, Celina was confused by his reaction. She didn’t know what had come over David. In

the morning, he was just saying that he was going to set her up with Kenneth. Shouldn’t he be happy to

see them together now?

Although part of the reason why she had given up her body was because she was taken to Kenneth, it

was mostly for the Saunders Family’s future. As long as she got together with him, the Saunders Family

would be able to continue their wealth for a long time. Was that a problem?

Celina retorted indignantly, “I understand that I should abstain before marriage, but we will eventually

become a family anyway. Do you have to get so angry?”

“Do you realize what you’re saying?!” David fisted at his chest, suspecting that he had heard her wrongly.

Not only did Celina not admit her mistake, but she was even spewing nonsense like ‘family.’

“Master David, you must take care of your body and hold your temper!” The servant comforted David

while advising Celina, “Miss, please, hurry up and apologize to Master David. Even if you made a huge

mistake, he will forgive you as long as you repent!”

“Shut up! What rights does a servant like you have to talk about our family?” Celina crossed her hands in

dissatisfaction. “I made a huge mistake? What’s wrong with being intimate with my fiancé? No offense,

Dad, but times are different. In this society, it’s not uncommon for unmarried couples to sleep together

before marriage!”

David’s head buzzed with anger. He took several deep breaths before finally calming down.

“Unmarried couple?! Did you drink so much that you don’t even remember your name? If you don’t admit

your mistake today, you will no longer be my daughter! As for you, Edwin, I am not unkind to your family.

I gave you everything, from money to dignity, but you dare to do this kind of thing to my daughter?!”

Celina was completely befuddled. “Dad, what are you talking about? Did Elise put something in your

drink? You’ve gotten it wrong. There is no Edwin here. He is clearly Ken—”

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Edwin. “Uncle David, it was my fault. I couldn’t

hold myself back in the heat of the moment…”

Although the Haymond Family and the Saunders Family were only distant relatives, Edwin still was

David’s nephew. In order to appear to be close to the Saunders Family, Edwin had always addressed

him as his uncle whenever they met.

Upon hearing his words, a chill ran down Celina’s spine. Her expression stiffened as she turned around

in astonishment, only to see that unbeknownst to her, “Kenneth’s” face had turned into the ugly Edwin!

Edwin…? Why is Edwin here?! Wasn’t I holding Kenneth this whole time?! Celina gaped at him, stunned

into silence.

When she recalled what she had just done with Edwin, her stomach turned upside down. Unable to

overcome her nausea, she threw up. “Blaargh…”

Edwin hurriedly zipped his pants and dropped to his knees in front of David with a loud thump. He

begged in a heartbroken but desperate tone, “Uncle David, although our two families are relatives, it is

not against the law for us to marry. I really love Nana, and as long as you entrust her to me, I will love her

and care for her for the rest of my life!”

Hearing that, Celina swallowed down her disgust and roared angrily, “Keep dreaming!” She didn’t want to

have anything to do with Edwin! She loved Kenneth, and would not marry anyone except him!

Celina’s reaction threw Edwin off, and he felt overwhelmed. “Nana, why are you…” Why did she change

so much?

“Shut up! Don’t you dare to call my name! You disgust me! Disappear from my sight now! Get lost!”

Finally losing control of herself, Celina picked up her discarded high heels from the floor and began

pummeling Edwin with it.

“Nana, please don’t do this…” Edwin did not dare to hurt her, so he could only dodge her blows.

Celina must be suddenly throwing a tantrum because Uncle David did not give us his blessing. However,

as a man, he could not escape at this time. He had to show Celina that he would take responsibility.

Thinking that, he grabbed Celina’s hands to prevent her from moving. “Nana, trust me. I’ll definitely

convince Uncle David!”

“Let go! Don’t touch me!” As Celina struggled, her whole face was contorted from her emotions, and her

hair was all messed up, making her look extremely disheveled.

Edwin was completely dumbfounded. He had no idea why Celina had suddenly become a different

person. However, Celina would always be a goddess in his heart, and he dared not disobey her words.

Thus, he hurriedly grabbed his shoes and socks on the floor and made to leave with his jacket.

On the other hand, David had no idea what happened to Celina either. One moment, she was clamoring

to marry Edwin, and the next, she was pushing him away. Perhaps his daughter had truly taken after his

dead wife, and was not right in the head! However, he couldn’t just leave the Saunders Family’s pride to

crumble. Hence, he extended a hand to block Edwin’s way.

“You can’t just leave like this.”
