Tame Me My Brother -in-Law Chapter 20
SEBASTIAN’S POV
As soon as Celine came to a stop in front of us, she directed her mournful
stare at the woman standing next to me. At the same time… her fists
tightened and her toe fingers curled, which caused my body to react in an
unusual manner. I tried to catch her attention by clearing my throat, but she
continued to look as if she were going to murder her sister as her eyes were
fixed on her.
“Celine! What the hell are you doing—”
“Oh… how are you doing, my dear sister…?” Celine cut her off and moved
closer to show the intensity of her blazing gaze in close proximity. The lips of
Brylee quivered, and I couldn’t tell if it was from anger or fear; nonetheless, I
could see that she was feeling anxious as she attempted to cut off Celine
before she could finish her next sentence. “Mom is dead. Our mother is
dead…”

Celine’s words struck me as being inappropriate at the engagement
celebration, but I didn’t give a hoot about what she had to say at all. Even

though I was in the position to put a stop to what she was doing, I was more
interested in finding out more about what she’s up to. It seemed like she was
about to spill something here.
“Mom is dead, Brylee… Were you aware of this?” she repeated and there was
an undulation to her voice and a hint of choked grief.
For some reason… everyone couldn’t help but frown because of that pitiful
voice of hers.
A moment of surprise passed over Brylee before she snapped back with a
question. “Are you insane?” She inhaled deeply before making an accusatory
gesture with her finger toward Celine. “I don’t know what nonsense are you
talking about! My mother is here! And her name is Sasha!”
After listening to what Brylee had to say, Celine erupted into a noisy bout of
laughter. Loud enough for to hear by the several hundred people that are
currently encircling her at this very moment in time.

After that, she made her way over to the server, who was just as preoccupied
with watching her as she picked up a glass of wine from the tray and then
immediately swallowed it down in one gulp.
“What kind of fuss do you think you’re kicking up here?!” Julio hurried forward
and grabbed his daughter’s hand for the second time as a desperate
last–ditch effort to stop his daughter. The expression of irritation and
frustration that covered his entire face was palpable.
Celine winced at the taste of wine, and probably with the words and actions
of her father. I smirked, thinking she wasn’t a fan of alcohol. This was new to
things that were written in the result of the investigation weren’t true.
“Oh… my
dearest father…” she chuckled as she started to walk around Julio.
“Your ex–wife is dead. Are you happy with how things are right now?” her
gazes were locked against Julio, but he avoided them, causing Celine to
smile in victory.

As soon as Brylee saw that the situation was rapidly deteriorating, she raced
forward in a frenzy to give Celine a slap on the arm. “Stop it! You’re ruining
my engagement party! Please, stop making a scene here!”
Celine slapped Brylee’s arm back before she gripped her wrist tightly that
Brylee almost winced.
“Really?” she scoffed as she harshly released Brylee’s arms when she saw
her reaction before she folded her arms over her chest. I could already see
that she was trembling from the cold. “Am I causing a scene here my sister?”
She had a smile on her face, but it was clear from the look in her eyes that
she was being mocking and sarcastic. “You sent a lot of messages to mom
yesterday. Didn’t she tell you that she would take her own life? How nice… she
passed away but her daughter is enjoying in her engagement party. What a
memorable occasion your engagement has become!”
To my surprise, Julio slapped her across her face and my eyes widened
when Celine tumbled to the ground, with blood trickling from the corner of
her lips. I think she was still recovering from her illness from the other day and

here she was again, going through the same thing that happened to her that
day.
My chest heaved up and down when I saw tears streamed down her face
and started to talk to herself. “Did you see that, mom?” she cried out. “They
didn’t feel any sorrow at all upon hearing the news of your passing. What
they are feeling is only disgust and repulsion at me for crashing their party.
So much for the rich and powerful Wheeler family!”
To my complete shock, Brylee promptly got down on her knees and assisted
in bringing her up, but Celine remained slumping on the ground. “Celine,
don’t make any more trouble, okay? Let’s go. I’ll take you home…”
My brows knitted together in surprise when Brylee acted in such an
unexpected manner all of a sudden. What kind of drama was she portraying
now?
Celine cocked her head to the side to look at Brylee, and then all of a sudden
she burst out laughing in a very loud voice.

“Celine, please…” Now, Brylee was begging at her. “Let me take you home so
that we can talk about it, okay?” After giving her sister a bear hug and a nod,
Celine proceeded to sob on her sister’s shoulder. “Don’t cry. Ssshhh… I’m
aware that you are feeling distressed, but I know that you will get over this.
Let’s go…”
Because Celine was facing me while she was hugging Brylee, I saw how her
lips curved into a smirk before she whispered something to Brylee to which I
was aware that it was only me and Brylee could only hear. “From now on… I’m
going to take away everything from you. I’ll take away whatever you care
about!”
I saw that Brylee’s shoulder become rigid just before she pushed Celine away
from her. In spite of this, tears were running down Celine’s face, making her
appear to be the very embodiment of agony and sadness. What a brilliant
actress she is!
