Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 2742

After standing up with Adrian’s help, Celine flung herself into his embrace and cried.

What did she do wrong?

Why did they treat her as such?

She was also a victim.

Adrian hugged her and said, “Don’t cry. You should leave before they make things worse for you. They resent you a lot. They’ll bully you badly once they have the chance.”

Celine's choice to defend her brothers had greatly offended her sisters-in-law.

Although Celine was a woman, she was also her brothers’ younger sister. Whose side would she take if not her brothers’? How many people in her position would choose to stand with their sisters-in-law?

The reason Caroline helped the ladies was not purely out of righteousness. It was also due to the lack of the siblingship bond between her and her brothers.

“I’m not leaving, Adrian. I want to wait until Mom comes back. I’ll explain everything to her. I really don’t know how it happened. I’m a victim. Someone’s definitely behind this. Many people attended the banquet, but I was the only one who got in trouble.

“There must be someone setting this trap up to get me killed.”

The person who had attempted to harm her was more evil than she was.

Everyone knew that there was a mastermind behind last night’s incident. If one calmed down and analyzed the situation, they would be able to guess the culprit.

Adrian dared not say anything because the alcohol that Hunter and Celine had drunk belonged to him. It was an opened bottle that he could not finish by himself, and he had kept it in the chiller at the bar corner of his room.

Hunter had been in a bad mood when he went to Adrian to ask for the bottle of alcohol.
