64. INCEST

CELINE’S POV

“Seb!” A sound suddenly emerged out of nowhere, which served to break the eerie silence that had been prevailing. Sebatian’s sister Cynthia walked over to us with a grin on her face and looked up at her brother. “I was looking for you upstairs…” she said with a smile. “I thought you were still dressing up. Dad is also looking for you…”

“Where’s dad?” Sebastian asked, and he didn’t remain for much longer. But just before he left, he glanced thoughtfully at me in a way that sent shivers down my spine.

“Cynthia!” Brylee made a move toward her in an attempt to give her a hug, but she pulled back and examined her thoroughly from head to

toe.

“Mom is looking for you, too…” she said, rolling her eyes at my sister.

“Oh, okay…” Brylee put on a happy face and pretended as though she hadn’t noticed how Cynthia was behaving towards her.

“Two-faced hypocrite!” the young woman stuck out her tongue at Brylee after the latter turned around and left us without even saying goodbye. “Jake!” her frowning face suddenly lit up when she moved to hug Jake, who was stunned beside me.

“Hey there, sweetcakes…” Jake whispered into her ear, and hugged her back. “You’re still as clingy as you were back then, huh?”

“I miss you, Jake…” she said, pouting. “You didn’t even bother to call me or visit me when you arrived home…”

“I’m sorry… but you probably know that I’m extremely busy with the new venture I’m managing with your brother…” Jake responded as he

broke away from hugging Cynthia, and then he noticed that I was simply observing them together at that moment. “Oh… and just so you know, Celine here is Brylee’s sister. I’m sure you’ve already met her

“Yeah…” she replied with a lack of interest. “She is well-known across the entirety of the internet…”

“And she’s my girlfriend…” Jake flashed a grin as he reached out and grabbed my hand before drawing me in closer to him.

“Your what?” The look of surprise and disbelief spread across Cynthia’s face as her eyes widened.

“My girlfriend…” he repeated, while chuckling. “Celine… this is Cynthia, Sebastian’s sister…”

“Hi…” I pretended that this was the first time I’d ever seen her and offered my hand for a handshake… but to my astonishment, she paid no attention to me and instead turned to face Jake.

“I can’t believe I forgot, I still have something to do…” She gave him a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “Let’s catch up in a while…” she said. before disappearing from our sight.

“You’re using me as a deterrent to the girl, aren’t you? Do you really think it’s okay for me?” I asked Jake after Cynthia walked away from sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

us.

Jake froze, smiling helplessly.

“What did you say?” he asked. “When did I use you as a deterrent?”

I gave a shrug of the shoulders as I made my way over to the long

table.

“Celine, please forgive me… I…”

“Don’t worry about it…” I waved my hand at him. “I’m glad I would be

able to help you this time. After all, you helped me before…” I smiled as I picked up a strawberry and shoved it inside my mouth. “But… would she need to see a therapist?”

The appearance of Cynthia’s eyes was peculiar. I could see a mixture of shyness, joy, and hospitality in them all at the same time. But upon hearing that I am Jake’s girlfriend, the expression in her eyes changed to one of vigilance, pain, shock, and anger.

I had witnessed these things replicated in Brylee’s eyes.

It was love…

Is Cynthia in love with Jake?

I shook my head. This couldn’t be! This was incest!

“This love doesn’t make sense…” Jake heaved a frustrated sigh. Therefore… he’s also aware of it. “When I found out that Cynthia was starting to develop a crush on me, I stopped coming over to their house. I don’t know how or why this happened. My presumption was that she would outgrow it as she got older, but it turns out that I was wrong…”

I gave him a routine smile while arching my brow at him.

“Do you want me to help you get rid of her?” I suggested. “Just let me know what you need, Jake, and I’ll be more than happy to assist you…”

Even though I lacked any other virtues, I was aware that benevolence should always be repaid tenfold.

“Then agree to be my real girlfriend…” he proposed again, but I scoffed and rolled my eyes at him.

I turned around and walked away, but Jake followed behind me, and I felt him ruffle my hair as he laughed out loud. I eventually went back

to where I had been sitting earlier, not taking a glance at him anymore.

“Jake…” someone called him again, and when we both turned our heads to see who was calling, I saw an elegant and stunning middle- aged woman with a beautiful smile on her face. She was dressed in a long white dress that had off-the-shoulder sleeves.

She gave off the appearance of being Jake’s mother, and it confirmed my suspicions when I heard him refer to her as “mom…”

took advantage of the opportunity to get away from Jake and made my way through the crowd, but I could feel that some people were watching me.

As I walked by… people were talking, laughing, eating, and drinking. Of course, they had already recognized me as Brylee’s sister, who has a bad reputation because right at this moment, Brylee was giggling and blushing next to Sebastian while she was talking to the other guests at the party.

And while she was wearing a pure white dress, I was decked out in a

black dress that evoked the devil.

However, I didn’t mind about those people’s eyes at all. I was looking for Julio and Sasha Lauren, to investigate further. I wanted to see how they would react if they saw me enjoying myself here at the party.

When I gave it some thought, I couldn’t help but smirk.

But where did the two of them go? It was impossible for them not to attend on this occasion, because I’d seen them already dressed up for the party this morning.

I heaved a sigh as I made the decision to go outside. The backyard of the house owned by the Anderson family is enormous and featured a rockery, a bamboo forest, a beautiful pavilion, and a fountain in the center of the garden.

However, it was still in the early days of spring and the temperature outside was very low. Naturally, only a few people were milling around outside, while in the huge back garden, there was not a soul in sight.

I began to aimlessly wander around… thinking about what I would do next after I had finished getting my revenge on them. Either I’ll continue my education here in order to make my mother proud from up above, or I’ll move back to the island where we used to live together.

I can still do anything I want on the island, but the education I received in the city was more comprehensive and advanced, so I believe that the best option for me will be to put aside more money and find a place to live on my own.

If I was ever unable to bring mom and her parents’ money back, at least I was able to give them the justice that they deserved. And the only way that justice could be done would be for me to bring the Lauren family to their knees through my own actions.

I was about to go back inside the villa when I heard a strange voice.

No… it was actually a moan?

At that moment, I was dumbstruck.

That voice…

That delicate gasp…..

Who in the Anderson family would have the nerve to act so brazenly in the middle of the party by doing something like this?

Or perhaps I heard it wrongly…

With a mind filled with questions, I turned on my heels and began walking towards the bamboo forest in an extremely cautious and

quiet manner.

There was a rock garden that was hollow on the inside, and there was no way for anyone to get to the other side.

A magazine article that I had read before, stated that there was a rockery in the Anderson family that led to the garden that was decorated for the various seasons and featured branching paths.

It was written there that the vibrant garden that was located on the other side of the rockery contained a variety of rare and priceless flowers.

From the world of azure, one could travel into a multi-colored, diorama that was permeated with a fragrant mist.

But because it was still cold, almost all of the flowers in the garden had already been stripped down to their branches, so it was not worth it to look at, even though at the time it had been ranked as the most incredible design in the magazine.

In all likelihood, no one will come to see this kind of view.

In addition, every woman who attended the party today was dressed to the nines in the most exquisite gown… which means that if they came out here, even their sn ot would probably be frozen.

I frowned as I approached the rockery in a cautious manner, ignoring the cold weather. I scooted my body forward a little bit at a time and

leaned over like a crook.

Unexpectedly, I was stunned by what I saw.
