Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 1451

Celine’s face was filled with sorrow and distress.

"As the only surviving bloodline of the Pierce family, I had to shoulder the responsibility. Rory's wife passed away suddenly from grief, leaving two children in the mansion. As their aunt, I took over the care of the children and temporarily stayed in this mansion."

I seized on the loophole in her words and asked, "Temporary?"

She glanced at me, not responding directly, and continued, "It was chaotic at that time."

Celine calmly recounted the events, and if I didn't know the whole story, I might have been moved by her kindness.

Suppressing my inner anger, I maintained a faint smile, watching her continue performing.

Meanwhile, everyone in the hall nodded and sighed intermittently, their eyes filled with admiration for her.

"Little did we know, that night, someone took Rory's daughter away during the chaos. It wasn't until morning that she was discovered missing, and the Pierce family immediately sent people to track her down. Many days later, they found the child in a welfare institution in the west."

"Are you sure she was taken away and not sent away?" I asked with a smirk.

She looked at me firmly and said, "Yes, she was taken away."

Then, she shifted her gaze and continued, "I intended to bring the girl back, but just as my men arrived, someone tried to take her away again, resulting in her falling off a cliff and dying."

There was a collective sigh from the crowd.

"I felt guilty because my father had ordered me to bring the girl back at all costs, especially since she had grown up with the members of the Pierce family."

I narrowed my eyes at Celine, who showed no signs of panic. She remained calm, like a screenwriter laying out a plot with logical clarity and no loopholes.
