Chapter 339

Before Celeste could finish her sentence, Mr. Sterling had already slapped her across the face.

Disbelief etched on Celeste's face. "Dad?"

Mr. Sterling fixed his gaze on her. "I don't care whose foster daughter she is. From now on, you stay clear of her! Even your grandfather agrees. As long as she doesn't cross the line with you, just let it slide."

"But why? Grandpa always dotes on me," Celeste said, bewildered. "She hit me first! Why are you taking her side?"

Mr. Sterling inhaled a deep breath. "That's not for you to worry about. She's not someone you can mess with. I'm only doing this to teach you a lesson. You know the Sterling name carries weight, and I don't want any unnecessary stains on it. I've managed to cover up your past antics, but as for Miranda, don't provoke her again! If she does start something, I'll report to them. I'm doing this for your own good!"

Celeste clenched her jaw, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Of course, it would be best if you could make peace with her," Mr. Sterling advised.

Celeste lowered her gaze, harboring a growing resentment.
