Chapter 1325
"What should we do?" Monica was anxious, "Do you mean that we can't continue to investigate it?""That's not true," The boy shook his head and explained, "We can still try to trace the person'stracks, but the cost we have to pay is too high. Think about it, we are going to investigate on ourown now. We don't understand the laws in the United States, and we don't know where they comefrom. Hence, it's quite difficult for us to continue searching for the person."
"Do you mean that if we want to find out who it is, well have to utilise a lot of manpower andresources?" Monica asked.
"That's right."
"It doesn't matter," Monica was adamant, "We have it. You must find out who the person is.Otherwise, we won't be able to survive."
The boy hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes, I can try."
Cindy looked at Monica and said, "Monica, we still don't know what the other party's intentions areby doing this. The person's not blackmailing me, so I think I might have offended the person.However, I don't know who it is, even more so since the person's from the United States."
"Mr. Holland's wife is also in America," Monica suddenly said.
Cindy was stunned and looked at Monica in surprise, "Monica, are you suspecting Mr. Holland'swife?"
Monica nodded, "You've fooled around with him. If she finds out that you slept with Mr. Holland,she'll definitely get angry. That's why she's warning you." "If that's really the case, why wouldn't shewarn me directly?" Cindy said doubtfully, "There's no need to do that at all."
"Perhaps she doesn't want Mr. Holland to lose his reputation. After all, their child is also studying inthe United States. That's why she endured all these and only gave you a warning."
Cindy was lost in thought and did not speak for a long time.
"Okay, let's check this guy out. Ray, as for you, after signing the agreement, you're going to pretendthat this never happened. After this, I'll pay for all the expenses incurred in London for the four yearsthat you're here."
"I will try my best." "That's good. You can leave first."
"Alright."
Soon, Ray left.
Meanwhile, Cindy still shook her head and muttered, "I still don't think it's Mr. Holland's wife. We metat a party some time ago and his wife even drank with me. We had a great time, and it didn't seemlike she knew. So, I don't think it's his wife."
"We must find out regardless of who it is," Monica made up her mind, "Wait for a moment, I'm notleaving yet. There is a lawyer downstairs. Since Heinz is going to sign an agreement with you, I'll letthe lawyer take a look just in case."
"Alright."
After finding that the two went downstairs, Ernest controlled the drone to fly back to his side silently.
After calming down, Ernest edited the video on the rooftop and sent it to Gary.
After watching it, Gary immediately called Ernest.
"Did you use a drone?"
"Yes," Ernest admitted coolly, "You're doing your best for Celeste, so I have to do my best too."
Gary knitted his brows but did not reply.
Ernest smiled again, "Anyways, Celeste is our younger sister now, so we should do our best.
When Celeste is going to get married in the future, we need to have our dignity and prestige as herbrothers. At the very least, we need to hold a certain amount of standing and power, am I right?"
What Ernest said seemed to be true, which made Gary kind of annoyed.
"You're thinking too far," Gary hinted, "There are just too many variables in life."
"Gary, what do you mean by variable?" Ernest asked, "Don't you want Celeste to get married in thefuture?"
"It doesn't matter if I hope so or not," Gary continued, "The problem here is whether Celeste wantsto get married."
"Who knows," Ernest chuckled, "Since she is part of the Jones family and is our sister, her surnamemight be Jones too."
Gary snorted softly.
Ernest grinned cunningly, "Gary, I almost forgot that your surname is still not Jones. Will your wife inthe future follow your surname, Smith? By the way, mom's actual surname isn't Smith either. Whenwill you change your surname?"
Gary did not say anything.
Ernest couldn't help teasing him, "Maybe I should rephrase my words. You should change yoursurname when you are studying abroad. To have the same surname as Celeste is fate, won't it be?
Otherwise, you'll be the only one whose surname is Smith once Celeste changes her surname toJones."
"Don't worry about me," Gary finally said. His tone was calm.
However, Ernest could still sense the tense atmosphere.
This matter should be enough to irritate Gary.
He was definitely going to reconsider changing his surname after so many years.
"Alright, I won't worry about you. I only worry about Celeste," Ernest smiled and said, "I'll godownstairs now. The agreement will be ready soon."
"You don't have to keep an eye on Cindy," Gary said, "Don't let anyone notice your drone. Once it'sdiscovered, there'll be trouble."
"Gary, don't worry. I'm very confident about my drone," Ernest smirked confidently.
"I hope so."
After hanging up the phone, Ernest put away his things silently and went downstairs as if nothinghad happened.
That very noon, Alex asked the Jones' family lawyer to draw up an agreement and brought thelawyer along to get Cindy to sign it.
When Celeste heard the news, the lawyer had already arrived downstairs. Cindy and her lawyer, aswell as her agent, Monica, had come too.
Grace asked her to go downstairs personally.
Although Celeste was mentally prepared, she was still nervous. She didn't know how to face thewhole situation.
Especially the moment when she met Cindy again.
"Celeste, are you afraid?" Seeing that Celeste was not in a hurry to rush down the stairs, Graceknew that Celeste was afraid too.
The girl in front of her was only sixteen years old, and she was just a child. It was normal for her tobe afraid in the face of such a big issue and decision.
After walking over, Grace hugged Celeste gently and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Celeste. UncleJones and I will protect you. We won't have this kind of trouble in the future. When you are 20 yearsold, we won't interfere with any of your decisions."
Celeste felt at ease after hearing Grace's words and taking in the faint fragrance of Grace's bodyodour.
She was touched after hearing what Grace said.
There was always warmth surrounding Grace.
This warmth of hers could calm people down quickly.novelbin
However, it made Celeste feel sad too. It was rare for her to meet such a warm person, so she feltlike crying.
She had never met a person as gentle and considerate as Grace. Grace could easily see throughher fears and worries, and provide her comfort at the right time.
"I'm fine. Let's go downstairs," Celeste finally said.
"Okay," Grace nodded and took Celeste's hand as they walked down the stairs together.
