Chapter 166 Where’s the Proof
As Susan spoke, she ríudged Celia with a grin.
Celia seized the opportunity to speak. “I plan to apply for your graduate program in my senior year and hope for a chance to study design with you.”
Alan nodded in understanding and encouraged her. “Keep up the good work.”
After that, he left under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Susan’s heart filled with excitement when she heard Alan’s response.
She grabbed Celia and exclaimed, “Celia, it’s looking very promising! You need to keep pushing forward. Don’t let me down!”
Celia couldn’t hide her delight and responded, “Don’t worry, Mom! I’ve got what it takes.” Joining Alan’s graduate program was well within her reach.
However, the next moment, Grace approached her with a grim expression.
– For some reason, Celia felt an urge to avoid her.
“Let’s talk!” Grace said, her words carrying an unspoken weight.
Celia tried to ignore Grace. As she was about to leave, Grace reached out and firmly grasped her wrist. “What’s the matter? Feeling guilty?”
Susan hurried over and asked, “Grace, what the hell are you doing? Let go of Cece!”
Grace ignored Susan and turned her attention back to Celia. “I’m giving you a chance. Can we talk privately?”
The crowd of onlookers couldn’t help but exchange curious glances at the unfolding scene.
Celia took a deep breath and reluctantly agreed, “Mom, I’ll be fine. I need to have a private conversation with her…”
“But…” Susan was worried.
She gave Grace a disapproving glare and asked, “What’s there to discuss with this woman? Who knows what ulterior motives she might have?”
Celia reassured her. “It’s alright, Mom. Don’t worry! She wouldn’t dare do anything to me in front of everyone here.”
Upon hearing this, Grace couldn’t help but give them a mocking smile. Celia’s uneasiness grew, and her hands anxiously grasped the edges of her clothing.
