All Chapters of Celeste's Mommy Runs Away : Chapter 21 - Chapter 27

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.

His father was adamant in not letting anyone escape from taking responsibility—not even the drug manufacturer. Due to past mishaps involving various clients suing them, Cecilia ti

"I've been trying to look for you.""I kept on wondering how that mafia family found our research facility in France. It was a highly confidential lab, and yet they ransacked our lab trying to look for my research.""So it was you all along."Cecilia pieced everything together. Collin and Elizabeth's strong connection. Elizabeth and Ellen's relationship with the heir of the Verra Mafia. Verra Mafia's brazen attempt to kidnap CE Pharma's head researcher and steal all the research materials was all because they had obtained reliable information from Collin. If not, they would continue with their old ways of stealing their products. However, with Collin's help, they set their sights on the person who can give them more than what they have.And that can only be the head researcher and CEO, Cecilia Eldritch. "Did you think that getting rid of me would open up a new position in the company?""All of you were aware that I am also the head researcher targeted by the Verra Mafia. So if th
