last update Huling Na-update: 2026-01-18 22:54:13

Ellen drifted around Monte Carlo in a daze.

'Why...'

'Why can't I control Cecilia anymore...?'

She wholeheartedly believed that she could still trick Cecilia with the same old tricks. When Cecilia's family died, she was completely dependent on Ellen. She followed her words as if they were the law. She never once heard Cecilia turn her down.

Back when they were in high school, she turned everyone against Cecilia with the same trick. As long as she acted weak and pitiful, people would side with her and shun Cecilia. So then, she would swoop in and defend Cecilia, earning both Cecilia's affection and respect from her classmates.

It was easy.

Even when they were working in the Eldritch Group, Cecilia would always give in to her demands. Otherwise, how else can Ellen secure an executive position while Cecilia works in a rank-and-file position?

Everything was smooth sailing before. Ellen and Elizabeth were so used to controlling Cecilia that they forgot that she has her limits too.

    “Lia, we have received reports from the headquarters that police were investigating a crime involving our product.”“The missing batches of oxycodone, morphine, and tramadol have been found in a warehouse in Hackney. According to the police, there are multiple people who overdosed on our products.”“They’re asking you to assist with the investigation.”Cecilia’s temples throbbed upon hearing this unfortunate news. Just a week after the messy encounter with Ellen in Monaco, she thought she could relax and spend more time with her daughter. However, there is now an urgent investigation in London that she needs to address. It’s not a good thing if the police are involved in their business.And as if sensing Cecilia’s next question, Jennifer continued, “One of the people who overdosed was a rich international student in King’s College. His father is a senator in Centriona, and he has asked one of the world's top forensic pathologists to help investigate this case. So, unfortunately, this

    "Just wait here, Lia. Our service was caught in a traffic jam, so maybe they will arrive in 10 minutes.""Yeah, Jen. It's okay. Check out first so we can just rest here while waiting.""Cecilia!!!"Cecilia took out her phone, intending to message Celeste's nannies, when she was surprised by a shrill scream. She looked outside the hotel and saw Ellen, dressed in a chic red dress paired with a Formula 1 jacket. She seemed to have just been watching the Grand Prix with her attire. Cecilia pursed her lips, frustrated that she had encountered Ellen once again. Monaco really is a small country. Who would have guessed that she would meet Ellen again?Ellen's eyes widened in disbelief. She rushed inside the hotel, not caring if she bumped into a bellboy. "Cecilia! So you are here! Small world, huh? To think that I would see again?"She attempted to walk straight to Cecilia, but she was blocked by Cecilia's security. "Who are you!? Let me through! I need to talk to Cecilia."She stepped bac

    Lake Geneva, Switzerland. Celeste was walking her puppy, Leon, at a park near the lake. They had avoided going to the park near their house because of the mysterious people who had been following them before, so they took a quick drive and found this quiet park near the lake. Celeste was dressed in a beautiful floral dress and a yellow cardigan, which highlighted her pinkish chubby cheeks. Her curly brown hair was neatly tied in a low pigtail. She was also carrying a dainty strawberry bag filled with goodies that she likes to eat. She looked like a walking garden with her whole outfit that she chose herself. Leon strutted around the park, his tail bouncing as he guided Celeste. Meanwhile, Celeste's nannies and guards sat at a bench nearby. They let Celeste and Leon be and did not interrupt their peaceful play. "Oh..."Celeste's steps halted as she saw a tall man sitting at a bench at the corner of the park. He was carrying a box of donuts and a cup of coffee. With his long legs cr

  • Celeste's Mommy Runs Away    Chapter 19: Friend

    Cecilia settled down on a cozy couch that faces the racetrack. There were lots of yachts docked beside them. Julian's yacht was overflowing with gourmet food and champagne. The staff inside were accommodating and hospitable. "Wow! As expected of last year's world champion! Julian Dela Merced is simply impressive." Alwyn slumped on the couch next to Cecilia while holding a champagne flute. He adjusted his seating as he appreciated the views from the yacht.Cecilia smugly smiled, "And you said that I have to be careful with him. Yet, here you are, enjoying the perks of being friends with Julian.""You know, I talked to my friends and said they were eager to meet the mysterious founder and CEO of CE Pharma."Upon hearing his words, Cecilia immediately shook her head. "Not happening.""I know. Why do you think I threatened you just to meet you?""I always wonder why you don't want other people to personally meet you. A lot of people are saying that CE Pharma's CEO is an old balding noble

    "Ellen, what just happened there?!" Aleck screamed after they got kicked out of the restaurant. Out in the streets of Monte Carlo, Ellen looked disheveled with her hair covering her face. She could not believe that the restaurant would not give them face and just casually tossed them out to the streets. It was extremely humiliating. Especially after so many people have seen their disgraceful faces getting dragged by security. No matter how many times they shouted that they are from the infamous Verro family, the security simply did not care. Whether it was a prince or an ordinary person, they would not tolerate such vulgar actions. For them, offending the Verro family is nothing to worry about. This is what infuriated Aleck the most. If he can use his influence in other parts of Europe, he cannot do so in Monaco. Ellen quickly fixed her hair and her clothes as she stomped her way to the car waiting for them. She said, "It's because of Cecilia! I saw her inside!"Aleck frowned. "Cec
