Chapter 1307

Ernest still remained silent and just stared at Liam. He wanted to judge for himself if Liam was onCeleste or Cindy's side.

Before that, he would not rashly answer questions.

Liam frowned and looked at Ernest, questioning, "You still don't trust me?"

With this sentence, Ernest shook his head and explained, "I just don't want to take any risks. Afterall, we don't know whether you came here on your own or if it was Cindy that asked you to comehere."

"I came here all by myself," Liam interrupted.

Ernest smirked. He let down his guard and explained, "Liam, since you are so straightforward, thenI will be frank. We have only one motive, and that is to have Cindy sign the official documents torelinquish her position as Celeste's guardian. If she doesn't wish to do that, then she will continue tobe her guardian until Celeste turns eighteen. Our priority is to ensure Celeste continues herstudies."

Liam nodded and replied, "There's no doubt that the priority here is to ensure Celeste gets tocontinue studying."

"I'm very glad you agree with us. Liam, my dad doesn't want Cindy to know the whereabouts ofCeleste for these few days," Ernest added, "We're planning on letting her cool down and figure outwhat she wants."

Liam was also a very smart person. With just one sentence, he was aware of what to do.

He nodded and said to everyone, "Well, I respect your decision, but I am involved in this matter. Thereason why all of this turned sour is partially because of me. I am sorry for that, and if you all need

my help, I'm always willing to lend you a hand."

"We just need you to not tell Cindy Celeste's whereabouts," Ernest reiterated.

"Consider it done," Liam nodded and continued, "Let's pretend I never came here. You guys cancontact me anytime."

After finishing his words, Liam looked around, this time, more sincerely.

Ernest nodded and said, "Liam, you should go back and rest. You can rest in my room if you wish."

"I still have class after this," With that, Liam left very quickly.

Maria and Ernest saw him off, but Celeste did not go downstairs.

"Mr. Robinson, can you please give me an autograph?" Maria pleaded when Liam was about toleave.

Liam stopped and stared at Maria. Thinking of what she just said just now, he paused. He did notreject it nor did he agree.

Maria looked at him nervously and felt a little disappointed.

Was he going to give her an autograph or not?

Just then, Liam opened the car door. He took out a book from the car and gave it to Maria.

Maria was dumbfounded. She found that the book in his slender flingers was an album.

This was Liam's latest photobook.

There was an autograph on it.

Maria raised her eyes in surprise and met Liam's gaze, gasping, "Is this for me?"

Liam nodded.

Maria quickly took it over and thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Robinson. I'm so happy! I'll be your fanforever."

Liam chuckled and muttered self-mockingly, "Your performance just now was far worse than a fan ofmine."

Maria was a little embarrassed.

Then, Liam got into the car and left quickly.

Soon, his car left the premises.

For a long time, Maria was spaced out.

Ernest interrupted her trance, "Let's go back. Don't be a nymphomaniac."

Maria came to her senses and pouted, "What's wrong with being a nymphomaniac? He's my idol."

Ernest sighed, "I wonder if Liam will tell Cindy."

"Of course not," Maria denied, "He's not that kind of person. He's my idol, and I have absolute faithin him."

Ernest didn't pay much attention to her. He just took a glimpse at her and quickly went back.

Meanwhile, Liam returned to his own room without contacting Cindy. After taking a shower, he wentto class.

When he came back in the evening, Katherine called him, "Liam, have you found Celeste yet?"

"No," Liam's tone was cold and distant.

"She's still missing?" Katherine was dumbfounded, "Did she not leave any traces?"

"Yes," Liam replied, "I've been looking for her all night. I have a class to attend during the day, so Iwent to class. I couldn't find her."

"Then why didn't you inform us?"

"Who should I report this to? Have you all been looking for Celeste?" Liam shot back.

Katherine was stupefied and felt a little embarrassed. She tried to explain, "Cindy doesn't allow meto look for her, and I can't just leave."

"Same here," Liam replied indifferently, "I have classes the next day so I have to go to sleep. Goodnight."

After that, he hung up the phone.

He made it so that he sounded grumpy and distant.

Katherine was forced to hang up. She let out a cry and looked at Cindy in distress, "Cindy, look,Liam is also angry. I don't think we can get his help to find Celeste."

Cindy's face was gloomy, and she rolled her eyes at her assistant.

"He didn't find her either," Katherine emphasized again.

"That's none of my business," Cindy wanted no involvement in that, "Stop trying to care."

"Fine, I won't," Katherine was helpless and put down her phone, "It's no longer my business if shedies. After all she's not my adopted daughter."

She refused to meddle anymore.

Cindy's fuming face looked even more ashen.

She grabbed the cigarette on the table, lit it, and took a puff.

The white smoke from the cigarette floated into the air and created a small smoke ring. Cindy'sexpression was masked behind the smoke. Despite wearing a lot of makeup, one could tell that shewasn't doing good.

Just like that, another two days passed.

"What's the update on the house now?" Cindy asked.

"Everything has been dealt with," Katherine replied, "You can sign the contract by ten o'clock today."

Nothing else was said.

Soon, the time to sign the contract arrived.

Cindy met with the dealer. They signed the contract and bought the house right beside the villaErnest and Maria were living in.

After everything was done, Cindy said to Katherine, "I want to move there by tonight. I want to livethere."

"Although we bought the house with furnishings, isn't it too rushed to just move in like this?"Katherine was confused.

"I don't care. I'll move in now," Cindy demanded, "Where's the keys to the house? Didn't they give it

to US?"

"Yes. I'll take you there right now," Katherine had no choice but to obey.

That very afternoon, Cindy moved to the villa next door. The two houses were very close to eachother.

When they arrived, Cindy saw Heinz and Grace just about to arrive home. Their car was parkedoutside the courtyard of their villa. As walls surrounding the villa were fences, she could seeeverything inside with a glance.

Cindy happened to see Grace and Heinz who were about to get out of the car.

The car drove around the neighborhood and Cindy was seated inside the car. She squinted hereyes and stared at Heinz intensely.

"Stop the car," She suddenly said.

The driver had to stop the car.

Katherine lowered her tone and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I haven't seen an old friend for a long time. Of course, I have to come down and greet them," Cindyraised her chin slightly, looking very proud.

Katherine sighed, "Don't stir up trouble."

Cindy ignored her and got out of the car.

Just then, Heinz and Grace looked up and also noticed Cindy standing by the car outside the fence.novelbin

Grace was stupefied for a moment, hesitation flashing through her eyes. She asked Heinz softly,"Isn't that Cindy White?"

Heinz also saw Cindy. His sharp gaze narrowed as he watched Cindy silently for a few seconds.

Then, he looked away as if he didn't recognize her. Instead, he reached out to hold Grace's slenderwaist and said to her gently, "Honey, are you tired?"

"A little," After such a long shopping trip, she was indeed slightly exhausted.

Heinz hugged her tightly and tapped her nose intimately, saying, "Let me carry you back to thehouse."

As he spoke, he was about to carry Grace.

Just then, Cindy called out, "Well, well, isn't this Mr. Heinz Jones?"

That d*mn old hag.

Heinz cursed silently and turned to look at Cindy.

"I'm Cindy White," Cindy said as she walked into their compound without invitation right up to them.

Heinz shrugged. His gaze was devoid of emotion but his tone was full of disgust as he said, "Oh,

Cindy White?"

He pretended to recall her.

Cindy stared at him and smiled slightly, "Yes, I haven't seen you for several years. Mr. Jones, youlook more handsome."

"As for you, you have grown so old that I almost couldn't recognize you," Heinz insulted her calmly,"At first glance, I was wondering who this old hag was. I didn't expect you to be Cindy White."
