True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) -
Chapter 1327
Eventually, the lawyer had Celeste sign the documents personally since she was already sixteen. She should know what she wanted.
Celeste saw Cindy sign the documents without hesitating and couldn't help feeling sad.
Thirty million dollars.
Cindy still chose to sell her off.
Celeste looked at the sky outside the window. Thirty million dollars was a huge amount of money. Her heart was instantly heavy and she was tense.
"Celeste, come on. Sign it," Grace found Celeste was acting hesitant, so she nudged her, "Sign it. Don't think about anything else."
"30 million is a small amount of money," Heinz added, "You should study hard in the future. After finishing your studies, you only need to work at the Jones Estate for a few years to pay it back. You don't have to give yourself too much stress."
Heinz had realized a long time ago that this child was very thoughtful.
The child's future would be difficult since she was sensitive and over-considerate. It was better to give her some responsibility so that she would have something to strive for.
Sure enough, Celeste was slightly relieved when she heard what Heinz had said.
Instead of signing the contract immediately, she looked at the Jones' family's lawyer and said, "Sir, I would like to know if I can change my surname?"
Cindy was stunned to hear this. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Celeste.
Celeste looked back at her and didn't try to evade the piercing gaze.
"Since the other party wants 30 million dollars, then my surname does not have to be White, am I right? Am I still obliged to be surnamed White?"
"Of course," The lawyer nodded, "If 30 million dollars doesn't include having your surname changed, we can file a lawsuit."
"Is this really what you want?" Cindy looked at Celeste and asked.
Celeste said frankly, "Yes, this is exactly what I mean. From now on, I do not want my surname to be White anymore. Thirty million dollars will be the end of our relationship. I don't have to feel indebted to you anymore."
"Then what will your surname be? Jones?" Cindy looked at Celeste then at Heinz.
Heinz didn't say anything because he didn't expect Celeste to ask this question on the spot. It definitely successfully embarrassed Cindy.
"That's none of your business," Heinz scoffed timely, "Since you've sold your right over her custody, then all the rights will belong to us. Celeste, you can take your time to choose whatever surname you'd like to have."
Celeste didn't say anything.
Grace added, "Whatever her surname is, it's just a name. Heinz, you can search for Celeste's birth parents. When you have determined her actual identity, Celeste can choose whether to change her surname to our family name, or retain the name given by her birth parents."
Cindy's face froze and she looked very awkward.
Celeste signed the contract quickly.
Heinz exchanged a glance with Grace. Then, Heinz also signed the contract.
Monica smiled gently and said, "Mr. Jones, you are really a pro at networking. I heard that Celeste learns very fast, so she will become a true pro in the future."
The situation grew tenser.
Obviously, Monica was doing it on purpose.
Heinz flashed a cold smile, "Of course, Celeste will definitely be a genius in the future. She will never associate herself with anyone who is depraved. If a person abandons all morals, then the person is a failure no matter how successful they may be."
"Seems like Mr. Jones is looking down on the entertainment industry," Monica still had an eerie grin on her face.
Heinz returned the favour with a smirk, "Miss Wilbur, you can't represent the entire entertainment industry. You can only represent yourself and Cindy as her agent. You can't represent others. You don't have adequate capital, nor a good reputation to represent them. Furthermore, they may not like to be represented by you. Don't you think so too?"
This was definitely mockery.
Everyone present could perceive it.
"Indeed," Cindy's lawyer also said with a smile, "The seniors in the entertainment industry are all tough. They all have their own bottom line when they talk and do things. They know what should be done." "Mr. Sherwood, let's not talk nonsense about those who can and can't represent the entertainment industry," Heinz sneered, "They have signed their names. Please transfer the money to them and complete all the follow-up procedures."
"Yes, Mr. Jones. You can be rest assured that if you have any doubts, the entire legal department will be fully prepared to defend you."
"Very well," Heinz was very satisfied. He turned to look at Celeste and said with a faint smile, "Celeste, did you hear that?"
Celeste nodded and said, "Uncle Jones, I'll defend my rights by the book, and I'll even protect yours. Thank you for being my guardian." "We're a family. Don't mention it," Heinz smiled and said to Alex, "Alex, see them off."
"Yes, sir!" Alex stood up.
Cindy stood up immediately and turned to leave without looking at Celeste.
Monica was not in a hurry. She shot a wee smile at Heinz and said, "Mr. Jones, let's have a talk in private."
Heinz smiled and shook his head, refusing the request, "There's no need to talk. Miss Wilbur, we have to pack up and prepare to leave."
"What do you mean?" Cindy, who was just about to leave, stopped and turned to look at Heinz with astonishment.
"We are moving to another place," Heinz smiled mischievously, "We can't be neighbors with you anymore. We've bought a lot of new houses, and we will be staying with our own people." Cindy was stunned.
Her expression tensed up and contorted into something ugly.
Grace was also a little surprised. Heinz had mentioned this before, but it was too quick for this to be on his agenda already.
Monica was also taken aback. Then, she looked at Cindy and seemed to have realized something. She then looked back at Heinz and said, "Mr. Jones, you are truly rich."
Heinz ignored Monica and once again ordered them to leave, "Alex, see them off. After that, let's move."
"Yes!" Alex immediately said to Monica and their lawyers, "Please follow me."
Monica frowned and turned to leave.
Cindy's face was also pale as she staggered away.
So, they were moving to another place.
It was not a joke.
It was not until the movers arrived that Celeste realized that this was not a joke. They really were moving.
She was extremely surprised and deeply impressed by Heinz's resoluteness.
30 million dollars had completely removed
Celeste's last bit of hope for Cindy, and she didn't want to have anything to do with Cindy anymore.
Soon, she packed up and followed everyone to the new place.
The time taken to travel to their new home from the original one was about forty-five minutes. Both were in opposite directions to each other. However, their new residence was more beautiful and spacious. It was a five-story villa. There was a garage and a cellar in the basement. It looked very luxurious.
"Heinz, we've moved way too quickly," Nerissa arrived at the new house and asked in surprise, "Did Zachary also purchase it?" "Yes," Heinz chuckled, "Aunt Nerissa, I bought all five villas here, and the five over there were bought by Zachary and his friends." "What are you planning to do by buying so many houses?" The old lady was shocked.
"I don't want to be neighbours with others," Heinz smirked, "You can come stay here often in the future."
