Chapter 62 Mess Around and Find Out

Celia’s smile froze. “Nonsense, I was overseas at the time. Just because people are saying that doesn’t mean it’s true.”

If Susan hadn’t asked Celia’s grandfather, Tyler Hawkins, for help with bailing her out without Benjamin’s knowledge, she probably would have actually gone to jail.

Grace glanced at Celia impassively. “Now that you’re free, do learn to behave. You can keep trashing my boutique as long as you don’t mind being jailed again. I’m fine with it.”

“I said I never went to jail! Did you even hear what I said?” Celia marched forward, only for Emily to block her way.

“It’s two of us against one of you. Are you sure you want to pick a fight?”

Both Grace and Emily were not to be trifled with.

So, after some thought, Celia suppressed her anger and said with gritted teeth, “Why would I? I’m having enough trouble avoiding you as it is.”

After all, Benjamin had warned her not to pick fights with Grace.

“So you do know how to avoid us! Our Grace isn’t someone a girl like you should be messing with,” Emily said, leaning against Grace’s shoulder with pride.

Celia’s hands balled into fists so tightly that her fingernails dug into her palms. She had no one to take her anger out on, so she stayed silent and left to find the others.
