Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 536 Progressing Too Slowly

Gabriel brought out a small box. “Just inject this into Edwin and he will no longer be affected.”

Celina took the box and placed the aroma diffuser back in his hand. “I’ll handle Edwin. Place this diffuser in the room.”

“Yes, Miss Celina,” Gabriel answered easily.

Once they settled the plan, they returned to the house. Celina put down the syringe that Gabriel had given her and psyched herself up to greet the guests with a bright demeanor. Like a princess would, she maintained a smile on her face. She was polite and took care of her guests equally, becoming the ‘Snow White’ that everyone had their eyes glued on.

The guests soon changed their tune.

“Celina is such a responsible and kind person. I can’t imagine her hurting anyone, let alone her own father. I think people were jumping at shadows earlier and making a fuss out of nothing.”

“That’s my thought too. Let’s say that she wants to inherit her family’s assets, but she has no siblings to compete for the inheritance. Wouldn’t the Saunders Residence and everything belonging to them go to her after David passes on? Celina has no need to do that!”

“We’re the ones who jumped the gun when we mistook her actions.”

“That’s the case, isn’t it? She’s still young. She probably got tongue-tied because of the shock earlier.”

“Let’s not forget that she was severely shocked when Mr. Saunders got into that accident. We should toast her and console her.”

In just a few minutes, Celina was once again the belle of the ball as waves of people came to her to get themselves in her good graces.

Elise silently observed Celina’s actions from a corner. She couldn’t stop her lips from curving up into a contemptuous smile when she saw the couple who had accused Celina earlier squeeze themselves over.

Truth was an insignificant thing in this world. Justice was worth nothing. The masses typically were more interested in protecting their own interests when compared to holding onto envy and grudges.

Elise moved her gaze away and scanned the floor again. Gabriel was still absent.
