"Mr. Robinson, you don't have a full understanding of the matter, so I can't really explain it to you," Celeste commented lightly, "Furthermore, I have no obligation to explain it to you. Either way, thank you for your kindness. Since you don't know much about me and her, don't simply judge the situation. Thank you."

"Okay," Liam was a little confused by Celeste's attitude. Seeing that Celeste didn't want to say anything more, he immediately blocked her way back home.

"Celeste, you said that I didn't understand. If that's the case, you can tell me the truth and let me know the whole story."

"There's no need for me to do so," Celeste shook her head and said firmly, "It's over. I don't want to waste my time on this. It's meaningless."

"But, Miss White is ill," Liam looked at her and refused to let Celeste go.

Celeste felt her body stiffen, and she was feeling a little frustrated.

"Mr. Robinson, I'm not a doctor," Celeste insisted, "I can't give her any professional advice. Miss White should go to the hospital, and not come to find me."

"She didn't say that she wanted to see you. I came here myself," Liam said.

"If that's the case, it's needless for you to do this."

"Celeste White, how can you be so cold-hearted?" Liam was full of shock. He no longer knew the Celeste who was acting this way.

"Please get out of my way," Celeste said coldly.

"Don't forget that you were raised by Miss White. Without her sacrifice, you wouldn't be here today," Liam's voice was steely, and he sounded like he was blaming Celeste for all of it. Upon hearing this, Celeste's body tensed up.

She looked into Liam's eyes. Although they couldn't be seen clearly behind the sunglasses, she could still feel the same pressure and anger radiating from him.

"Yes, you are right. I was indeed raised by her. She has worked hard to raise me until the age of 16. I am very grateful for that."

"I don't see the slightest trace of gratitude from you," Liam accused her even more severely.

"That's because my only bit of pity for her has been eradicated by her shameless behaviour, and everything else has been turned into ash. There is no more relationship, no more pity I have for her. I don't want to know anything about her, neither do I want to understand. So please don't appear in front of me again. I don't want to have anything to do with her anymore."

Celeste sounded calm and clear, which made Liam frown.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Fine, Mr. Robinson," Celeste found that if she didn't make it clear, Liam would still block her way and refuse to let her leave.

Therefore, at this moment, she could only make everything clear to him. Otherwise, she would be stuck here with no idea when she could leave.

"Since you are so hung up about this matter, I think it's better to explain it to you clearly," Celeste said coldly.

Liam nodded and said, "Okay, tell me."

"You said that you already know my general situation and also Miss White's. You only know that she's ill, and you are anxious. Now let me ask you, have you ever heard of the fact that she blackmailed Mr. Jones for money?"

Liam was flabbergasted and he squinted.

Although his eyes were hidden behind the sunglasses, she could feel that they were twitching.

"Thirty million dollars," Celeste repeated again, "She sold her custody over me for thirty million dollars. She sold me, but she also gotten something in return."

Liam looked at Celeste in disbelief and staggered.

It was as if someone had grabbed hold of his neck that very moment, making it difficult for him to breathe.

The shock and astonishment made him feel like he was suffocating.

"Would Miss White do something like that?" He blurted out in doubt, and it seemed like he had subconsciously asked the question weighing on his mind.

"Well," Celeste smiled helplessly, "You don't believe that she did this, but when the contract was signed that day, many people were present. Her agent, her assistant, her lawyer, the relatives of the Jones family, Ernest, Maria and I, everyone was there. Many people can prove it, so I am not lying."

That was the truth.

Liam knew that it was a fantasy for him to hope that things didn't turn out like this when he asked about it.

"Mr. Robinson, since you wanted to know, then this is the truth. I've already told you that I left her because I wanted to continue studying. It doesn't matter if I ended the relationship with her, and it doesn't matter whether I have a conscience or not. I just wanted to study hard, and I don't wish to have such a complicated life."

After that, Celeste stepped forward.

Liam had no choice but to step back. He retreated almost subconsciously to make way for Celeste.

Celeste didn't want to look at Liam, so she walked past him. When she looked up, she saw Maria behind Liam. Meanwhile, Maria was also staring at Liam's back in a daze.

"Maria, let's go," Celeste walked to Maria and took her by the arm.

"Celeste, wait," Maria said in a low voice.

Celeste was shocked. Maria gently pulled back her arm and walked towards Liam.

Meanwhile, Liam also turned around and saw Maria as soon as he looked up from his daze.

Maria was full of shock and disbelief, and she looked very embarrassed.

When Liam saw Maria, he immediately asked, "Miss Lowe, is it true? Did Cindy really sell Celeste off?" "Of course she did," Maria explained with a grim expression. She felt absolutely exasperated just looking at Liam and said, "Mr. Robinson, I thought you were a very reasonable person. You're open and kind, at least on the surface. I've always regarded you as my idol and role model."

"But now, no, just now, I heard you interrogate Celeste, and I suddenly realized that I'm being absolutely ridiculous."

"The idol I was so proud of is actually a person who can't distinguish right from wrong. The reason why you questioned Celeste was not that you didn't believe it, but because you didn't want to believe it." "It's because you don't believe that Miss White was such a person that you forced Celeste to answer so many questions."

After being questioned by Maria continuously, Liam remained silent.

His gaze fell on Celeste next to her, who was motionless.

"But you are wrong," Maria said as she burst into tears. "You are wrong. I will never like you as my idol or take you as my role model ever again. I even regret coming to London. Oh, no, I wouldn't have seen your true colours if I didn't come."

"Of course, I finally know who you are now." "Liam, you don't deserve to be my idol and role model. You and Cindy are the same kind of people. Please go back to her side and never appear in front of Celeste again."

Liam frowned, "It's none of your business. Get out of my way."

"You should have gotten out of our way you're the one who has nothing to do with this," Maria shouted at Liam rudely, "If you dare show up in front of us again, don't blame me for being rude."

As soon as Maria finished speaking, she clenched her fist and waved it at Liam. Then, she turned around and walked away with Celeste.

Meanwhile, Liam was standing alone at the stairs, rooted to the ground like a statue.
