Chapter 11
Kendric came downstairs, and Ms. Quinn noticed he seemed ready to head.
out. She approached him, “where are you off to at this late hour?”
“I have something to deal with.” he replied while adjusting

Ms. Quinn wouldn’t expect Kendric to head out late at night, all alone, to
pick up Celeste.
Kendric’s assistants promptly located Celeste. Upon learning that she was
currently at the police station, Kendric’s expression turned stern. Especially
after he heard Gavin’s exaggerated version of story, his discontent grew even
stronger.
He decided to pick her up in personal.
His assistant made some investigation and figured out the situation. Celeste
was taken away by the cops because she didn’t have her identification with her,
and on the other hand, it was confirmed that she headed to the strip club.
Neither piece of information should be exposed to the public.
Kendric fiancée had gone to a strip club and caused enough trouble to get
herself arrested by the police. What a scandal.
Inside the car, Kendric’s expression was cold and intimidating.
“Celeste Alinsky.”
A police officer called her name from outside. “Come out. Your guardian is
here.”

Celeste nearly stumbled. What? Her father was thousands of miles away.
Where did this guardian jumped out from?
Kendric brought Celeste’s passport, confirming her identity and age, and
then the police released her.
Kendric waited at the door.
As Celeste stepped out, she immediately met his intense gaze. In that
moment, she felt a sense of “A Moment in Time.” Kendric had been away on a
business trip for half a year, and this was their first meeting over the six
months.
It’s only that this place didn’t seem quite pleasant.
Last week, her breakup call had been intercepted by Kendric’s assistant. It’s
time for them to have a good talk and make thing clear
Kendric took big strides toward her. After such a long separation, this was their first reunion. He still wanted to touch her hand, but Celeste calmly dodged
his advances.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward and tense. Celeste passed by Kendric without making eye contact.
He followed behind her. His burning gaze fixed on her.
She had come out wearing only a tight top and a denim jacket over it. The night air was chilly. It gave her goosebumps. But then a thick coat was draped over her shoulders, and she raised her head to see Kendric holding her close.
“Get into the car.” He nudged her toward the car, and then instructed the driver to depart.
Inside the car, silence filled the space.
Halfway, Kendric finally sensed the atmosphere weird. He broke the ice,
“did you have fun at the nightclub?”
Celeste sneered. This was how he had always been. He didn’t ask her why
she had been at the police station or why she had gone to the nightclub. He
simply assumed she went to the clubs regularly.
“No fun.”
Clearly, that’s not the answer he wanna hear.
“You’re not going there next time. I don’t like it”
In the past, Kendric’s likes and dislikes were Celeste’s principles for doing
things. She never touched anything he didn’t like, and she liked whatever he
did. But now, when Celeste heard his commanding words, she only felt a deep
sense of rebellion.
“But I do.” ME
Kendric frowned, seemingly displeased with her sudden rebellion “Just for
once.”
He closed his eyes, clearly wanting to end this conversation.
Fine, hard to communicate with this arrogant man. Celeste didn’t wanna
waste any more words explaining it’s her freedom to go to nightclubs.
When they returned to Melville family, the villa was brightly lit, and people
filled the white marble pavilion in the courtyard. Ms. Quinn and others stood in

the yard, anxiously waiting. When they saw the car drive into the yard, they
hurried forward.
Celeste originally wanted to go back to her rented apartment, but
unfortunately without Kendric’s permission, the driver completely ignored her wishes. She felt somewhat helpless. However, she also felt more determined to leave. Even if she stayed here, these guys would keep ignoring her thoughts and feelings.
She lightly brushed off the coat that Kendric draped on her shoulders. Then she got off the car and walked straight into the villa without any glances at the crowd.
Ms. Quinn couldn’t hide her surprise when she saw Celeste return. Equally puzzled was Ophelia, who stood beside her.
The two exchanged glances, and Ophelia’s curiosity got the better of her. She asked in a hushed tone, “Ken, why did Celeste come back?”
Kendric answered with a chilly tone, “where else should she go if she didn’t come back home?”
He shot an unrelenting glance at Ophelia and continued, “and why are you still here so late?”
Ophelia’s face flushed instantly as she stammered, “I… I…”
Of course, she couldn’t reveal that she’d been living here for over a month.
“I asked Ophelia to stay over here,” intervened Ms. Quinn.
Kendric didn’t care why Ophelia had come or how long she would stay. He ended this topic directly, “tell your brother to come pick you up tomorrow.”

He turned and headed upstairs without a backward glance. Ophelia turned
teary–eyed. “Is Ken trying to kick me out?”
Ms. Quinn consoled her gently, “Ophelia, I won’t let this happen as long as
I’m here.”
