Chapter 49 Unfair

“Briar, stop,” Celeste quickly stopped Briar.

Briar’s fist, aimed at Nathaniel, stopped mid–air.

She pressed her lips together in anger, unable to bear seeing her boss bullied like this.

“Boss…” Briar said.

“No need to use force,” Celeste said, her

force,” Celeste said, her gaze cold as she looked at Nathaniel. “Let’s resolve this first. The Rowe family has falsely accused me. Once the truth is out, you can strike as you please.”

Briar shot Nathaniel a fierce glare.

Nathaniel looked at Celeste’s swollen cheek, his gaze deep. His chest ached with a heavy pain.

Why didn’t she dodge?

His slap had been merciless and heavy.

Celeste took out a tissue and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

Fiona saw this and smiled, her eyes crinkling in satisfaction. Celeste deserved this kind of punishment.

“Celeste, why put yourself through this? If you had just admitted it, you wouldn’t have been hit,” Madelynn’s icy voice came from behind.

Celeste pressed her lips together, remaining silent as she tried to ease the pain on her face. Her left car was ringing, unable to hear anything.

“Boss,” Briar said, looking at her with concern.

“Celeste has grown up as a pampered princess. When has she ever endured such treatment?

The Rowe family, damn!”

“I’m fine,” Celeste said, shaking her head, suppressing the pain in her heart.

“Celeste, hand over the share transfer document,

You won’t

leave here today,” Nathaniel said, his intense gaze fixed on her face.

Nora’s shares determined the Rowe family’s survival. They couldn’t fall into the hands of an outsider.

Celeste’s gaze was calm and indifferent as she looked directly at Nathaniel. “I don’t have it. How can I return something I don’t have?”

“Celeste, why he so stubborn? Illegal trading of shares is a crime. Do you really want to go to jail? No matter how much you hate

Nate, it’s not worth risking your life,” Madelynn said, feigning

concern.

Madelynn pretended to be puzzled as she looked at Celeste, smiling brightly.

That slap must have hurt.

Nathaniel really didn’t hold back. But still, she was the woman he once loved.

“Heh…” Celeste let out a small laugh. In the shattered light, there was nothing but fragmented sorrow.

“Hate? He’s not even worthy of my hate!” Celeste took a deep breath.

The pain in her heart was becoming unbearable.

Nathaniel stared at her in a daze. The exquisite, heartbreaking fragility she displayed made his heart feel like it was being torn apart.

Fiona frowned and said, “Nate, Maddie is here. You two go upstairs to see Grandma. As for this woman who stole the shares, I’ll have the police take her away.”

A quick resolution was needed. There couldn’t be any more trouble.

Nathaniel looked at his mother. “Send the servant in with her. Keep them there until they hand over the shares.”

He would make Celeste kneel and beg him.

Hearing his words, an overwhelming pain spread through Celeste’s entire body. Was he sentencing her to death?

“Nathaniel, the evidence is the share transfer document. You say Morgan gave it to me. Ask her. When did she give it to me? Celeste said.

Hearing this, Morgan looked panicked. She said quietly, “I gave it to you last night, in the middle of the night.”

“Oh! And how did you see me? Where did you meet me?” Celeste asked coldly, her eyes fixed on Morgan’s evasive gaze.

Morgan had never actually seen Celeste, so how could she know where they met?

But now she had to insist they met. Her son was in Fiona’s hands.

“Ms. Hartley, you arranged to meet me at the back door. Did you forget? You can’t enjoy all the wealth and leave me with nothing. I took the two million dollars you gave me, but I need to leave with that money if I’m going to live to enjoy it,” Morgan said.
