Ceres turned her head away with a cold expression.
Johny stared at Ceres all the time.
This time, his and Caleb's positions were reversed.
"Ceres, calm down and wait here. I will come back to pick you up." Johny turned to leave.
He thought that perhaps Ceres was just taking things too hard for the time being. He gave her time.
Johny's departure made Caleb so happy.
"Ceres, you have recognized me as your godfather. You must keep your word. You can't go back on your word!"
Ceres rolled her eyes at Caleb, thinking that he was too annoying.
In less than two days, Caleb was discharged from the hospital, and he brought Ceres back to the Bullock family's manor.
At first, Caleb had planned to hold a banquet and invite all his friends and relatives to witness Ceres given a legitimate identity. However, considering that the red spots on Ceres's face had not been removed yet, he could only temporarily postpone the decision.
Caleb then gathered everyone in the manor and announced that Ceres was his goddaughter. He asked all the servants to treat Ceres the way the servants treated Jamie.
Jamie didn't say anything, but she was so angry in her heart.
After Caleb went to the Bullock Group, Jamie angrily rushed into Ceres's room and lifted her quilt.
"Ceres! You two-faced woman! You said that you don't want to be my father's goddaughter, didn't you? Why did you come back?"
Jamie was so angry that she almost went crazy. As long as Ceres told Caleb what Jamie had done back then, Caleb would definitely treat Jamie differently.
Ceres was very upset, and when she saw Jamie coming over to make a fuss, she exploded with anger as well.
"That's right. I'm just double-faced. So what? Can't I have a godfather to back me up?"
"You..."
Jamie wanted to beat Ceres up.
"Don't provoke me! Otherwise, I will tell godfather about you giving me a bottle of fake antidote."
Jamie was so angry that she was even lost for words. Now, Ceres had something on her.
"Besides, Jamie, remember what you have done. If I tell godfather one or two things, you know what will happen. Think about your situation carefully!"
Jamie glared at Ceres, wishing that her look could kill Ceres.
"Fine, Ceres, you win! Just you wait!"
Jamie strode out of Ceres's room.
Ceres used the quilt to cover herself again.
She was really upset and had no mood to quarrel with Jamie.
The reason why she agreed to come back with Caleb was that she had no other choice at that time. Now, she knew that couldn't continue to stay here.
Ceres suddenly lifted the quilt and looked at the ceiling in a daze.
She had to escape.
The sooner, the better. Therefore, Ceres decided to do it tonight.
Jamie was in her room, wantonly venting her anger. She pushed everything on the dressing table to the ground. Some bottles were smashed into pieces. The servants outside the door did not dare to make any sound.
Jamie absolutely couldn't tolerate Ceres staying here.
