Chapter 1719

Outside the room, Gary's eyes narrowed. Unable to stand it any longer, he opened the door andwent in.

He could not stand seeing Celeste get upset. Now that it seemed as if she had failed to defeatCindy, it had to be a crushing blow to her confidence.

Cindy was not only wicked, but also crafty.

She pretended to be crazy when she was in fact still in her right mind. Furthermore, she dared toscorn Celeste. There was no way that Gary could put up with that.

After he opened the door, he strode into the room.

Celeste turned around and was flabbergasted to see him. "You... Why are you here?"

Gary hurried to her side and looked at her with a faint smile on his lips. The adoration in his eyeswas plain for all to see.

Once he was close enough, he embraced her. It was clear that he doted on her and was protectiveof her.

"Didn't you say that you didn't want to meet her? Why did you come here secretly?" Gary askedgently.

Celeste pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed that he had found out. She also felt sorry for notbeing able to avenge themselves.

She could not help being apologetic about it.

Seeing her expression, Gary understood what she was thinking immediately.

"I'm sorry," Celeste said.

"Silly girl." Gary reached out a hand to caress her head.

His gaze was only focused on her, as though she was the only person in his eyes.

She would be the only one in his heart forever.

His emotions for her were overflowing, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

It was a very pure moment.

No matter what she did, he would support her unconditionally and help her clean up any messes.He would not blame her, nor would he get angry.

His affectionate gaze made Celeste feel rather embarrassed. She pouted and smiled, saying, "Imay a little silly, but my efforts weren't all in vain. Seeing how this hateful woman ended up lookingso hideous substantiates my belief that retribution and justice do exist. In addition, I also found outthat she intentionally killed my biological mother, and she had planned to do so from the verybeginning. Henceforth, I'll show no compassion to this woman. Everything should come to an end."

Gary was slightly shocked. "She admitted that she had intended to murder your mother from thebeginning?"

He had arrived later and did not hear their earlier conversation.

She nodded. "She admitted it. She wanted Yannie to die."

Gary narrowed his eyes, and his gaze turned cold. He looked at Cindy, who was sitting on theground.

Cindy also looked up at them.

The romantic scene between the couple just now would probably have aroused envy, jealousy, andhatred in every woman.

When Cindy saw how Heinz's son lavished Yannie's daughter with adoration as though she was themost precious person to him, Cindy could not help being consumed by jealousy.

Her face twisted as she growled angrily, "What the hell? So what if I intended to kill your mother?She deserved to die."

Hearing that, Celeste gasped.

Gary patted her on the back, comforting her silently.

Then, he said coldly, "She deserved to die? I wonder who's the one who truly deserves to die."

Cindy chuckled at his antagonistic reply. "Of course it's you guys. Both Yannie and Celeste deserveto die."

Gary held Celeste tightly in his arms as he looked down at Cindy. His smile was as cold and sharpas a blade.

Smiling sardonically, he said, "You seem very confident. Are you so sure that we won't be able to doanything to you?"

"It's a fact that you can't do anything to me." There was a smugness in Cindy's grin.

At that moment, Alex came to the door and said, "Mr. Gary, the mirror is here."

Two bodyguards carried a full- length standing mirror into the room. It was two meters in height andhalf a meter in width, and it could stand on the ground stably.

The sight of it surprised Gary and Celeste.

They gaped at Alex.

Alex smiled and explained, "I asked someone to prepare it because I thought it might come inhandy." "Place it in front of Cindy so that she can look into it," Gary ordered coldly. "Doesn't shealways regard herself as a beauty and thinks she can still be as beautiful as she used to be? I thinkwe should disfigure that old face of hers."

Hearing that, Cindy shuddered.

Noticing her reaction, Gary smiled faintly and looked at Alex.

Alex beamed. "My thoughts exactly, Mr. Gary. Why don't we disfigure her face with the word'b*tch'?"novelbin

Gary looked at Cindy with a smile. Noticing her ashen face, he deliberately raised his voice andreplied, "Hmm, I think that's a good idea. Very good."

"This is a hospital. A hospital in England. You can't do this," Cindy retorted, her voice trembling. Shewas terrified.

If they really disfigured her face as they said, her life would be ruined.

She was not going to let that happen.

Alex smiled and said, "We've already asked to discharge her from the hospital. We've also told thedoctors and nurses that they shouldn't try to interfere and that we'll take full responsibility forwhatever happens. Mr. Gary, let me get someone to get to work on disfiguring her face."

"Yes, we should do it. This woman harmed Celeste's biological mother, who should've been mymother-in-law. Naturally, we have to avenge her," Gary replied. "Tie her up first and stuff a gagged

into her mouth to prevent her from shouting. Then, carve the word onto her face and let her look atit."

Cindy struggled to get up and run away.

However, the mirror had already been placed before her, and the two bodyguards stepped forwardto seize her.

A towel was stuffed into her mouth.

Cindy looked at herself in the mirror in horror. Her panic-stricken eyes coupled with her gag mouthcontorted her face and made it even uglier.

If they carved that word onto her face, she would be severely disfigured.

She did not want that.

She cast an imploring look at Celeste.

However, Celeste merely looked at Cindy coldly.

Celeste had no pity for Cindy.

She was not a saint. There was no need for her to take the moral high ground. She did notsympathize with Cindy at all. All she wanted was for Cindy to be punished, and the sooner thebetter.

The bodyguards tore the bedsheet into strips and tied Cindy up.

Gary said, "Take out the towel first and let us observe this woman's ugliness. There's no rush. Iprefer to prolong the torture."

"Yes, sir," a bodyguard replied and pulled the towel from Cindy's mouth.

Once she could speak, Cindy immediately said to Celeste, "Celeste, no matter what, I raised you.You owe me a debt of gratitude."

"So what if I do?" Celeste said angrily. "I'll just continue to carry that debt since I've no intention ofrepaying it. You're not worthy of that."

Gary laughed and said appreciatively, "Yeah, that's the spirit. So what if we owe her? You didn't askher to raise you. She did it on her own accord, therefore she shouldn't expect any repayment."

Pursing her lips, Celeste looked at Cindy and said coldly, "Quit holding me to some moral highground. You're the least qualified person to do so. You should've died the moment you tried to killmy mother. Uncle Jones and Aunt Smith have given you countless chances. Gary even sacrificedso much blood for you. However, you don't deserve any of it. You only deserve death."

Someone applauded.

Alex was clapping his hands in glee.

"Well said. Cindy doesn't deserve mercy. She should've died a long time ago."

As Cindy looked at Celeste, she felt that she had no choice but to continue pleading. "Celeste, youcan't do this to me. You can't disfigure my face. What will it take for you to let me go?"

"Let you go? Will my mother in heaven agree to that? Will the blood that Gary gave you agree tothat? Do you think you're worthy? You're begging for mercy now, but look at what you've done,"Celeste replied.

"Let me go, Celeste. I'll apologize to you, so just let me go."

"No way," Gary interjected, dashing Cindy's delusional hopes. "Don't even think about it."

Celeste suddenly stepped forward, saying, "I'll do it. Give me the knife."

Her words startled Gary. He looked at her and said quickly, "You don't have to. Let me do it."

"No." Celeste shook her head, her gaze resolute. "This is a score that I have to settle on my own."

Gary stared at her, feeling conflicted.

He did not want her to dirty her hands.

However, Celeste's had a look of determination in her eyes. She had made up her mind.

She wanted to do it as a way of severing all ties with Cindy.

Hereafter, they would no longer have any sort of

relationship.

She was going to put an end to it herself.
