Hayden callously turned down the offer. “I don’t want to drink with you, Ms. Celine. Excuse me.”
Surrounded by her security detail, Hayden walked past Celine.
As Hayden brushed past, Celine cried out to Hayden, but Hayden refused to give her the time of the day. Hayden simply walked on.
Celine stamped her foot in rage.
Although the Fishers were not the wealthiest in Jensburg, the family was in the circle of the rich and powerful. People would always suck up to her every time she attended social events.
Celine was no short of suitors, but these men were merely on their parents’ bankroll and had nothing to show for it.
Her privileged life with the Fishers gave Celine her arrogance, so Celine believed she deserved better than these men who were living off their parents. Still, all the good and remarkable men out there steered clear of Celine because they knew they would have to take the Fishers’ last name rather than vice versa.
Only these incapable trust babies would go for the future head of the Fisher household.
Like Hayden’s other admirers, Celine would not get Hayden off her mind after meeting her in person. Celine had been watching Hayden in the dark since then and fell hard for her.
In the past, Hayden would nod, respond, and sometimes engage a little with Celine.
Sure, Celine was still treated like a princess and no lesser than Caroline at home since the reveal of her identity. A lot had changed now that Celine was no longer the heiress of the Fisher family.
The successor of the Fisher family was no longer Celine but Caroline.
The family members favored Caroline. Apparently, Caroline presented herself with class and grace as a successor should.
The way Celine saw it, Caroline was timid and weak; class and grace were not Caroline’s attributes.
Celine believed the only reason some family businesses had not gone bankrupt under Caroline’s leadership was that the senior executives were helping her. Otherwise, a country bumpkin like Caroline had no means to manage businesses on her own.
