93. VIRAL
CELINE’s POV
After a few moments, the entire city of New York was nearly brought to its collective knees by the news that Sebastian Anderson had finally gotten married, which he had posted on his personal account on one of the social media platforms.
On the other hand… the name that appeared on the marriage
certificate was not that of Brylee Lauren but rather that of her sister, Celine Lauren, who is none other than me.
I wasn’t sure what to think at the time, but just the idea of the Lauren family getting angry was enough to make me silently celebrate the
outcome of what I’d done.
After pulling out my phone, I discovered that the general public was in an uproar, and within a short amount of time, our marriage became a topic of conversation and began trending on social media.
This caused my lips to curve higher as I smiled in victory.
Have people shared it too quickly?
Some people were skeptical about the validity of the marriage. between the affluent son of the Anderson family and the notoriously reckless second daughter of the Lauren family.
And the video from the wedding scene went viral almost instantly as well… and everyone was very ecstatic about it.
There was a wide variety of commentary published across a variety. of platforms. Some people even went so far as to boldly speculate that there were many different types of grudges and entanglements, in addition to secrets that were unknown to the general public.

There must have been a lot of people at the hospital where Brylee was taken by this point, causing it to be crowded and noisy.
On the other hand, the vast majority of the comments that I perused were focused on me, Celine the sl ut…
I was pulled out of my thoughts by Sebastian’s phone ringing, and he answered it while he was driving and pressed the loud speaker button.
“Mr. Anderson, we’ve arranged for the moderators to be here…” The
interior of the car seemed to reverberate with the sound of a man’s
voice that was very recognizable. “Every post and comment will be deleted right away…” he reported to Sebastian in a hurry.
“Okay, Jason. Thank you for informing me…” he said before he hung up the phone, and shortly thereafter, he drove up in front of Anderson Villa, but the security guard there refused to let me in.

“I’m sorry, young master, but your mother gave me instructions that Miss Celine is not allowed to enter the villa without her permission…”
After hearing what the guard had to say, the man’s expression
changed from serious to somewhat fearful.
“Back off!” Sebastian snarled while gripping my hand firmly.
“But Sir…”
“I said, f uck off!” he shouted, and I jumped, removing my hand from his grasp. “She’s my wife now!”
“I-I’m sorry, young master…” The security guard’s eyes widened as he stammered and immediately stepped back and opened the door for us, backing out of the way… but Sebastian shoved him, making me step back from them, and I headed my way into the living room alone, where I saw the ser vants taking down the decorated flowers around
the house.

Because everyone was so busy… it appeared that nobody had noticed that I was there. I continued to walk further until I reached the staircase, at which point I abruptly heard someone call my name.
“Celine!” I came to a complete halt and turned around, only to find. Jake coming toward me while still dressed in his best man’s suit and bearing a bewildered expression on his face.
“Jake…” I said, sending him a small smile. “L-long time no see…”
Jake did not return my smile and instead cast a frown in my direction while displaying an extremely pained expression. “Is what I read on the internet really happening? D-did you two actually get married?”
My eyes flashed, and my eyelashes flittered slightly as I bit my lip. “Y- yes… we got married.”
“But why?” he asked, staring straight at me. “Why would you marry my cousin? Isn’t he the person your sister wants to marry?”
I heaved a sigh, rolling my eyes at him. “Is there a law that allow stolen marriages?”
His eyebrows furrowed deeper as he clenched his fists. “Is everyt that was written online true?” His tone was somewhat anxious, but sounded more like being upset.
“Jake…” I made an effort to stop him from asking, but he brushed it off.
“The comments were saying that you… you are poor and you idolize the rich, thus you were determined to seduce your brother-in-law just to become Mrs. Anderson. Are you not exactly the same as those famous people who would do anything for wealth and fame? Why? What was my cousin doing with you in the washroom that day? Was it like… what they had said… a part of your… scheme?”

I shot a slicing glare back at him after I heard him say those words. Are you done?” I turned around and walked towards the kitchen but I heard him speak again.
“Why aren’t you taking the time to explain to me what’s really going on?” Jake yelled at me from behind. “Why don’t you debate and explain for yourself?”
I took a deep breath before I answered him without even bothering to turn around and look at him. “Their comments weren’t wrong. I was just trying to achieve my goal, and I’m indeed a woman who’s willing to do anything to get what I want!”
I heard him heave a sigh of defeat, and when I turned to look at him, he was staring at me with a broken-hearted expression. He turned away from me without saying anything else before walking away.
Over the years, I got used to being silent. I have no habit of explaining things to anyone. Moreover… I didn’t want Jake to know the truth because I knew that if he did, it would hurt him even more than it already does.
As I proceeded further inside the house… I saw an open room and I walked inside to check who they were and I saw Sebastian’s father having a conversation with some older men who appeared to be their immediate relatives. The moment they all laid eyes on me, they became rigid.
“Could that possibly be Celine?” I overheard the man with the dark hair sitting next to William Anderson asking, and in response… he nodded before greeting me with a brief smile.
Mr. William Anderson was a very impressive man. In spite of everything I’d done to his family, he was still pleasant to me and didn’t show any animosity towards me. And I was glad to know about that.
“Does she even have the audacity to come here?” The other man, who

had gray hair and wore it in a brush-up style, said something, and then everyone started talking about me, with the exception of William, who shook his head and gave me an apologetic look.
As they continued with their conversation, I stole a chilly glance at them and noticed the irony and contempt in their expressions. I
couldn’t help but c rack a grin as I turned to leave.
“Excuse me, I’ll just go upstairs…” I informed them, having purposefully made my tone severe.
“Have the two of you picked up the certificate of marriage yet?” William asked and it made me think that they had never bothered to check their phones or read the news yet, so they didn’t have any idea that Sebastian had just posted it on his personal social media
account.
