Ceres became anxious upon hearing this!
"No! I can not go back!"
Hearing this strong rejection, Caleb's mood was not very good.
"Why?"
"Are you going to put me into a worse situation after you've dragged me down?"
Ceres asked.
"Are you saying that staying with Johny is in peril?"
"Yes! If it was you, could you accept that your wife had suddenly become ugly like me? What would I face then? It would be abandonment and contempt! Even death."
Ceres naturally had to exaggerate the situation.
Caleb felt a little guilty about the red spots on Ceres' face. It was all because of his daughter that a perfectly fine girl had been turned into such a miserable position.
"You deserve it."
Ceres sneered.
She really envied Jamie. When she was Mike's daughter, Mike saw her as the apple of his eye. Now she is the daughter of Caleb. Caleb even doted on her without limit!
Caleb said unconfidently,
"Then you can stay."
Hearing Caleb's words, Ceres was somewhat surprised. "You agreed to let me stay?"
"In the end, I should take a bit of responsibility for Jamie. If I had found her earlier and prevented her from suffering, she might not have treated you like this. Other than me, no one else could protect you."
Ceres did not want to refute anything. One had to know that a father naturally believed in what his daughter said the most, and what others said was bullshit.
"But you can't live here for nothing. Your massage skills are good. You can stay and work in the spa."
After saying that, Caleb left.
Ceres finally heaved a sigh of relief.
She could stay.
The next day, she went to have a bone to pick with Roy. She pulled Roy to a corner, looking like she was interrogating him.
"You want to kill me, right! Your idea was so stupid! You knew that Caleb was having a spa at that time yesterday, but you still asked me to go there! Don't you know he almost killed me with a gunshot!"
When Ceres thought of that time, she still panicked.
In case, if Caleb was really angry, she couldn't stay alive.
Roy only smiled at Ceres's indignation.
"A stupid idea? Carly, I think you might have misunderstood what I meant. I remember that I reminded you again and again not to go inside. Or else, you would stir up trouble. What does it have to do with me if you insist on going in?"
Looking at the sly smile on Roy's face, Ceres knew that she had been tricked.
Ceres pointed at Roy "Fine, you win! You win!"
The smile on Roy's face was still bright.
"I was transferred to the spa. I wonder if this meets your expectations!" Ceres glared at Roy and then went to work.
Roy looked at Ceres from behind and curled a brighter smile.
It seemed that she was indeed a smart girl who could understand everything easily.
He had indeed done it on purpose yesterday, in order to give her a chance to interact with Caleb. Only in this way, she could really know Caleb.
Ceres came to work in the spa and found that it was no better than dealing with organic fertilizer in the garden.
There were only a few people in this spa. They were in charge of such a large hot spring pool. Every day, they had to clean it up. This was because the host might come here at any time. Even the open-air hot spring pool had to be cleaned.
