Chapter 90
90. EVIDENCES CELINE’s POV The entire crowd let out a gasp, and countless photographers snapped pictures as they witnessed the most remarkable event that had taken place in New York this year, or maybe not this year, but the entire thing that had happened in the city. Tomorrow… this will undoubtedly be one of the headlines, and I can’t wait! Sebastian exhibited no signs of surprise… as if he was aware that this would occur in the future. He didn’t say anything; he simply stared at me with a dumbfounded expression on his face. “What do you think I will respond to you with?” He asked me this while his hand was on mine, squeezing it, but his face remained emotionless the entire time. “I think… You will say, yes!” I smiled at him, showing him my most alluring and perfect smile… but he didn’t budge from his position, and just raised an eyebrow at me. “You’re that confident that I will say yes?” he smiled at me this time, but it seemed to be accompanied by ridicule. “Hey!” Someone in the crowd suddenly yelled out. “You are so shameless to steal your sister’s husband!” and everyone started shouting and throwing insults and bad words at me. “Sl ut!” “Wh ore!” “Shameless Woman!” “I don’t understand how the Lauren family gave birth to such a ditz…” One of the bridesmaids said, and I saw Cynthia stunned from her seat before lowering her gaze on her lap. “She is truly without any sense of shame! Nobody else comes close to matching her level of bit chin ess!”
“Oh… it’s such a pity! How is it possible for Miss Brylee to have a sister like her?” It felt like someone was pr icking me with needles the entire time with various kinds of caustic language. But all I could do was laugh at myself for what they had to say, and before long I had released Sebastian’s hand and turned to face the crowd with a smile, showing to them that I wasn’t affected by their words. “Hey, guys… take it easy!” I laughed. “I’m just kidding… Why are you all getting so worked up?” They frowned, and there was complete silence as everyone ma their way back to their seats. “There’s no need to worry, everyone! I won’t put a stop to the wedding I’ve just arrived here to give my sister the wedding gift that I prepared for her…” I made the announcement while clapping my hands three times to indicate that a video should start playing on the large screen that was positioned on the right side of the stage. It was a video of a woman taking a shower, and while she did so… the water was cascading down on her body and she was running her fingers through her blonde hair to remove the bubbles. The woman’s back was turned to the camera. After a few seconds, she pushed her dark back and pulled it up… revealing a small butterfly that appeared to be a tattoo; however, when the camera focused on it… everyone who could see it could tell that it was a beautiful birthmark. When the girl who was showering turned around, the entire scene played out in slow motion. People gasped when they saw the face of the woman smiling sweetly while looking directly at the camera. And then the screen went blurry. “Are you. familiar with the girl seen in the video?” I inquired, and the expressions on everyone’s faces revealed that they had no idea what to say as their gazes darted from me to Brylee and back to me again.
I couldn’t help but chuckle as I turned around, pulled my hair back, and flashed the guests at the wedding the birthmark that was on the back of my neck.- “That’s definitely me…” After hearing what I had to say, I heard a collective “ohhhh…” coming from them. I grinned as I clapped my hands three times one more time, and then another video appeared on the screen. This time, it was the vide hat they thought was me having sex with that young model. Whe noticed how flawless the girl’s neck was, their eyes widened even further. No stain. No tattoos. No birthmark. Brylee appeared to be passing out as she stood there, sobbing, and searching for something to hold on to, because her soon-to-be husband moved just inches away from her, looking at her disgustingly. The crowd was all stunned as they sent deadly stares at my sister. Oh… Brylee, my dear… I was just starting. When I turned around, a hand suddenly fell from my face and struck me very hard. And I was very, very familiar with that hand. The heavy hand that belonged to Julio Lauren.. “How can you frame your sister in such a way, Celine?!” he roared in my face, and his eyes were bloodshot red as he cast a menacing glare in my direction. “Celine…” The shaking of Brylee’s hands accompanied her trembling voice as she lifted her veil, showing me her face covered with fake tears. “How could you subject me to such cruelty? I did absolutely nothing but take care of you. I even asked dad for you to stay in the house and help you get back to school, but this is all you did to me?? Why?!” What? Everyone was taken aback by the unexpected turn of events, and their -expressions conveyed confusion as they wondered who among us
was telling the truth. “You’re an ungrateful child, Celine! Sasha decided to step in, and I rolled my eyes. “Right from the beginning, your father and sister have been nothing but kind to you! How could you possibly place the blame for your mistake on Brylee? You’re so heartless! I can’t be you can do this to us! To our family!” I laughed at them as I touched my face that had been struck by Julio. This was not something for which I had planned and I wasn’t prepared for. I underestimated them! Facing such compelling evidence, they can calmly continue to lie. “Why do you want to hurt me like this, Celine…?” Brylee collapsed to the ground in an unexpected manner and sobbed in her hands dramatically. “Is it because of Seb? Do you love my husband-to-be?” Mrs. Anderson rushed over to Brylee and gave her a bear hug before wiping away the tears that were running down her face. “It’s okay, Brylee. I’m here… We’re always here for you…” My sister sobbed loudly as she threw herself into Mrs. Anderson’s arms and buried her face in the woman’s chest. “It’s so painful, mom… I can’t believe my own sister would be capable of doing something like this to me…” “Celine!” My name was suddenly called out by Mrs. Anderson. “Leave this place at once! Or I’ll report you to the security staff and have them drag you out of here!” At this precise time, Sebastian intervened between me and his mother. Everyone appeared anxious as they waited for what he was going to say, but before he could open his mouth to speak, I raised my palm, which caused him to frown and stop moving in place. “I won’t stop your marriage, Seb…” said in a hushed tone, assuring him. “All I need is five million dollars!” “What?” he asked, staring at me in disbelief. “Why?” Another video materialized on the screen, and this time it showed. Sebastian and I engaging in sexual activity inside of the restroom. After the video, everyone was shocked when a picture of an ultrasound of a baby appeared on the screen. This caused the room to erupt into complete and utterOriginal from NôvelDrama.Org.
chaos. “I’m pregnant, Seb…” I said. “And that five million dollars I was asking for is for me to get an abortion so that you don’t have to worry about both the baby and me. You’ll only need to think and take care of your family with Brylee…” MARRY ME
