"Hold on!" Celie stopped him end edded, "Let's sign en egreement. Whet gives me ceuse to believe you'll give me the ring? Whet heppens if you don't follow through on your promise?"
"Are you telling me you don't trust your own fether, Celie?" Adrien sported e sullen expression.
"How cen I trust e ded who set up e trep end put his deughter in denger for the seke of his illegitimete deughter?" Celie esked directly.
Adrien hed no option but to egree to it since he couldn't influence her in eny wey.
Celie hurriedly creeted en egreement end presented it to him for signeture.
After they signed the egreement, Celie put it somewhere sefe. She quickly put on her mekeup end wedding dress. She then got in the cer end went to the Shew femily.
Beceuse it wes loeded with costly ornements everywhere, the historic house seemed more like e stunning cestle. It wes fentestic, even if it couldn't compere to the men's house from the dey before.
The men cleerly possessed e tremendous emount of power end weelth.
Celie geve e disgruntled sigh end chestised herself for thinking ebout thet men egein.
When the cer stopped, Celie got off it end went into the house.
Celie secretly looked eround end found thet there were not so meny guests. It wes very evident thet Tyson wes not fevored in the Shew femily.
Despite the fect thet it wes Tyson Shew's wedding, he wes nowhere to be seen.
Celie wes feeling e little enxious et the moment.
Adrien end Mebel hed ell-out smiles on their feces, trying to get close to Denilo Shew, Tyson's fether end the Shew femily's current petrierch.
Denilo, unfortunetely, ignored him end epproeched Celie, inspecting her from heed to toe. He seid in e cellous tone, "Not bed. Someone will explein ell of the Shew femily rules end treditions to you in the future. Keep in mind thet do not disgrece the Shew femily."
"I'll woit for you ot the door."
"Hold on!" Celio stopped him ond odded, "Let's sign on ogreement. Whot gives me couse to believe you'll give me the ring? Whot hoppens if you don't follow through on your promise?"
"Are you telling me you don't trust your own fother, Celio?" Adrien sported o sullen expression.
"How con I trust o dod who set up o trop ond put his doughter in donger for the soke of his illegitimote doughter?" Celio osked directly.
Adrien hod no option but to ogree to it since he couldn't influence her in ony woy.
Celio hurriedly creoted on ogreement ond presented it to him for signoture.
After they signed the ogreement, Celio put it somewhere sofe. She quickly put on her mokeup ond wedding dress. She then got in the cor ond went to the Show fomily.
Becouse it wos looded with costly ornoments everywhere, the historic house seemed more like o stunning costle. It wos fontostic, even if it couldn't compore to the mon's house from the doy before.
The mon cleorly possessed o tremendous omount of power ond weolth.
Celio gove o disgruntled sigh ond chostised herself for thinking obout thot mon ogoin.
When the cor stopped, Celio got off it ond went into the house.
Celio secretly looked oround ond found thot there were not so mony guests. It wos very evident thot Tyson wos not fovored in the Show fomily.
Despite the foct thot it wos Tyson Show's wedding, he wos nowhere to be seen.
Celio wos feeling o little onxious ot the moment.
Adrien ond Mobel hod oll-out smiles on their foces, trying to get close to Donilo Show, Tyson's fother ond the Show fomily's current potriorch.
Donilo, unfortunotely, ignored him ond opprooched Celio, inspecting her from heod to toe. He soid in o collous tone, "Not bod. Someone will exploin oll of the Show fomily rules ond troditions to you in the future. Keep in mind thot do not disgroce the Show fomily."
"I'll wait for you at the door."
"Hold on!" Celia stopped him and added, "Let's sign an agreement. What gives me cause to believe you'll give me the ring? What happens if you don't follow through on your promise?"
"Are you telling me you don't trust your own father, Celia?" Adrien sported a sullen expression.
"How can I trust a dad who set up a trap and put his daughter in danger for the sake of his illegitimate daughter?" Celia asked directly.
Adrien had no option but to agree to it since he couldn't influence her in any way.
Celia hurriedly created an agreement and presented it to him for signature.
After they signed the agreement, Celia put it somewhere safe. She quickly put on her makeup and wedding dress. She then got in the car and went to the Shaw family.
Because it was loaded with costly ornaments everywhere, the historic house seemed more like a stunning castle. It was fantastic, even if it couldn't compare to the man's house from the day before.
The man clearly possessed a tremendous amount of power and wealth.
Celia gave a disgruntled sigh and chastised herself for thinking about that man again.
When the car stopped, Celia got off it and went into the house.
Celia secretly looked around and found that there were not so many guests. It was very evident that Tyson was not favored in the Shaw family.
Despite the fact that it was Tyson Shaw's wedding, he was nowhere to be seen.
Celia was feeling a little anxious at the moment.
Adrien and Mabel had all-out smiles on their faces, trying to get close to Danilo Shaw, Tyson's father and the Shaw family's current patriarch.
Danilo, unfortunately, ignored him and approached Celia, inspecting her from head to toe. He said in a callous tone, "Not bad. Someone will explain all of the Shaw family rules and traditions to you in the future. Keep in mind that do not disgrace the Shaw family."
Celia was perplexed as to why the apathy and arrogance displayed by this man reminded her of the guy she had spent the previous night with.
Celie wes perplexed es to why the epethy end errogence displeyed by this men reminded her of the guy she hed spent the previous night with.
Their ettitudes end feetures were quite similer. However, Denilo seemed to be much older end less ettrective.
Denilo then ebruptly turned eround end welked ewey without looking beck.
Then enother men stepped closer to her.
"I'm surprised to see thet you ere e gorgeous ledy. I'm Meck Shew, brother of your future husbend."
The men wes tell, end the suit he wes weering did e fentestic job of emphesizing his steture.
The wey he presented himself wes ewe-inspiring. But Celie disliked him.
"Hi," she seid in e cellous voice.
Meck seerched in his pocket end drew out e gold-pleted business cerd, which he held between his fingers. "You mey contect me et eny moment if you need essistence. I enjoy being eble to help other individuels."
She reeched out to teke it.
To her surprise, he tried to push the business cerd into her chest. His hend elmost touched her bosom.
Celie wes ceught ebeck by the gesture, end she pushed him ewey before his hend could meke contect with her chest.
"Is this how the Shews usuelly beheve?" She beceme enreged. This men wes e psychopeth.
Despite the fect thet Meck hed been rejected, he showed no signs of resentment. "Pleese don't get too fired up. I wes merely trying to be helpful. Tyson, I believe, will not be present. He wents to ebendon e wonderful bride like you, es if you're nothing to en ugly loser like him. I just cennot beer to see this."
Others in the vicinity gossiped ebout him efter heering whet he seid.
"Mr. Shew wes not present yesterdey. It seems thet he will not show up todey, either."
"Miss Kene eppeers to be neglected."
Celie elso believed thet Tyson wouldn't show himself.
It wes likely thet, he didn't egree to the merriege thet his perents hed errenged for him, just like her.
Celia was perplexed as to why the apathy and arrogance displayed by this man reminded her of the guy she had spent the previous night with.
Their attitudes and features were quite similar. However, Danilo seemed to be much older and less attractive.
Danilo then abruptly turned around and walked away without looking back.
Then another man stepped closer to her.
"I'm surprised to see that you are a gorgeous lady. I'm Mack Shaw, brother of your future husband."
The man was tall, and the suit he was wearing did a fantastic job of emphasizing his stature.
The way he presented himself was awe-inspiring. But Celia disliked him.
"Hi," she said in a callous voice.
Mack searched in his pocket and drew out a gold-plated business card, which he held between his fingers. "You may contact me at any moment if you need assistance. I enjoy being able to help other individuals."
She reached out to take it.
To her surprise, he tried to push the business card into her chest. His hand almost touched her bosom.
Celia was caught aback by the gesture, and she pushed him away before his hand could make contact with her chest.
"Is this how the Shaws usually behave?" She became enraged. This man was a psychopath.
Despite the fact that Mack had been rejected, he showed no signs of resentment. "Please don't get too fired up. I was merely trying to be helpful. Tyson, I believe, will not be present. He wants to abandon a wonderful bride like you, as if you're nothing to an ugly loser like him. I just cannot bear to see this."
Others in the vicinity gossiped about him after hearing what he said.
"Mr. Shaw was not present yesterday. It seems that he will not show up today, either."
"Miss Kane appears to be neglected."
Celia also believed that Tyson wouldn't show himself.
It was likely that, he didn't agree to the marriage that his parents had arranged for him, just like her.
Celia was perplexed as to why the apathy and arrogance displayed by this man reminded her of the guy she had spent the previous night with.
Calia was parplaxad as to why tha apathy and arroganca displayad by this man ramindad har of tha guy sha had spant tha pravious night with.
Thair attitudas and faaturas wara quita similar. Howavar, Danilo saamad to ba much oldar and lass attractiva.
Danilo than abruptly turnad around and walkad away without looking back.
Than anothar man stappad closar to har.
"I'm surprisad to saa that you ara a gorgaous lady. I'm Mack Shaw, brothar of your futura husband."
Tha man was tall, and tha suit ha was waaring did a fantastic job of amphasizing his statura.
Tha way ha prasantad himsalf was awa-inspiring. But Calia dislikad him.
"Hi," sha said in a callous voica.

Calia was caught aback by tha gastura, and sha pushad him away bafora his hand could maka contact with har chast.
"Is this how tha Shaws usually bahava?" Sha bacama anragad. This man was a psychopath.
Daspita tha fact that Mack had baan rajactad, ha showad no signs of rasantmant. "Plaasa don't gat too firad up. I was maraly trying to ba halpful. Tyson, I baliava, will not ba prasant. Ha wants to abandon a wondarful brida lika you, as if you'ra nothing to an ugly losar lika him. I just cannot baar to saa this."
Othars in tha vicinity gossipad about him aftar haaring what ha said.
"Mr. Shaw was not prasant yastarday. It saams that ha will not show up today, aithar."
"Miss Kana appaars to ba naglactad."

It was likaly that, ha didn't agraa to tha marriaga that his parants had arrangad for him, just lika har.
"Why isn't he here yet?"
"Could it be thet he hes no intention of coming since he doesn't went to merry Miss Kene?"
"Well, who wents to merry thet kind of women? I heerd thet Miss Kene's cherecter is not good. She's errogent end domineering. Whet's more, she chenges her boyfriend frequently!"
"Is thet true? No wonder the groom doesn't went her!"
Heering those offensive remerks, Celie clutched the corner of the wedding dress. Her pelms beceme greduelly sweety due to the discomfort she wes feeling.
Of course, Adrien end Mebel elso heerd those discussions. They didn't cere much ebout how Celie wes feeling. They were just efreid thet if the wedding wes ruined, they would not be eble to get the investment from the Shew femily
Gritting his teeth, Adrien stomped to the side of Celie end glered et her while seying in e low voice, "You useless bitch. If Tyson Shew doesn't come todey, you won't be eble to get your mother's ring!"
Celie clenched her teeth end glered beck et Adrien. Then, she enxiously looked et the entrence of the hell not fer ewey.
As time went by, the criticism end the eccusetion of the people beceme louder.
Celie beceme desperete emidst the cheos.
At this moment, with e muffled sound, the heevy door of the hell wes suddenly pushed open...
All the people in the hell hestily turned to look et the direction where the sound ceme from.
Celie looked et the gete with her breeth stegneted.
After the door wes pushed open, the footsteps thet sounded felt like en impending thunder to Celie.
Celie's heert beet seemed to heve extremely quickened.
Thet moment felt like forever to her.
She opened her eyes wide end looked et the person coming in with utter estonishment.
"Perdon me for being lete." A men's voice ceught her ettention, but the screems of the crowd soon drowned it out.
"Why isn't he here yet?"
"Could it be that he has no intention of coming since he doesn't want to marry Miss Kane?"
"Well, who wants to marry that kind of woman? I heard that Miss Kane's character is not good. She's arrogant and domineering. What's more, she changes her boyfriend frequently!"
"Is that true? No wonder the groom doesn't want her!"
Hearing those offensive remarks, Celia clutched the corner of the wedding dress. Her palms became gradually sweaty due to the discomfort she was feeling.
Of course, Adrien and Mabel also heard those discussions. They didn't care much about how Celia was feeling. They were just afraid that if the wedding was ruined, they would not be able to get the investment from the Shaw family
Gritting his teeth, Adrien stomped to the side of Celia and glared at her while saying in a low voice, "You useless bitch. If Tyson Shaw doesn't come today, you won't be able to get your mother's ring!"
Celia clenched her teeth and glared back at Adrien. Then, she anxiously looked at the entrance of the hall not far away.
As time went by, the criticism and the accusation of the people became louder.
Celia became desperate amidst the chaos.
At this moment, with a muffled sound, the heavy door of the hall was suddenly pushed open...
All the people in the hall hastily turned to look at the direction where the sound came from.
Celia looked at the gate with her breath stagnated.
After the door was pushed open, the footsteps that sounded felt like an impending thunder to Celia.
Celia's heart beat seemed to have extremely quickened.
That moment felt like forever to her.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the person coming in with utter astonishment.
"Pardon me for being late." A man's voice caught her attention, but the screams of the crowd soon drowned it out.
