The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 636 Sensitive or Enraged After Being Exposed

Marcus poured a glass of wine and pushed it toward Celeste. "Celeste, a toast to you."

He then turned toward Shawn. "Mr. Haines, don't you enjoy playing the hero? Now, you have the perfect opportunity to show off. Why are you hesitating?" Though his lips curled slightly, there wasn't a trace of amusement in his eyes.

"Marcus, let it go!" Celeste forced a smile. "I admit I was wrong today. I'll drink three glasses of wine as punishment. We're a family, right? Let's not make a big deal out of this."

"Celeste, that's quite a statement," Marcus sneered. "Someone just tried to make a move on my wife. How is that me making a big deal out of nothing?

"Be honest, Celeste. Did you organize this gathering for Nat's sake? Or are you dissatisfied with me, so you're trying to find her a new boyfriend?"

"Marcus, stop slandering me! That wasn't my intention." Celeste's voice rose in pitch. She knew all too well how terrifying Marcus could be when he was angry.

"Marcus, you're being too sensitive! No one here thinks that way. Shawn just had a little too much to drink and held out his hand. Do you have to twist things that badly?"

Celeste stood up and added, "I already said I'd drink three glasses as punishment. What more do you want?"

Seeing how Celeste was fuming, Marcus calmly continued pouring the wine, filling every empty glass on the table.

"Waiter, bring 50 more glasses and a case of whiskey," he said coldly.

Natalie grabbed Marcus' hand. "I think that's enough!"

Marcus lifted his gaze slightly. "Nat, this isn't something I can just let go. I don't like it when your relatives keep trying to set you up with another man. That's basically pushing you to cheat. I can't get along with people like that. This matter won't be over that easily."

Initially, he had planned to let it slide after escorting Shawn out with Natalie. But then, Celeste refused to admit her wrongdoing when confronted by Natalie's brothers, making excuses for herself instead.
