S POV
When Celine entered the room, there was a sudden and dramatic change in
the previously buoyant atmosphere. It was so cold that it felt like the
temperature had plummeted to zero. Celine, on the other hand, started
appreciating the taste of her own food as if nothing had happened.
Jake chuckled to himself as he reached for a giant prawn to give to her. “You
have to try this one, Celine… I cannot overstate how delicious it is.”
“Thank you, Jake…” Celine cracked a grin before taking a bite of the prawn.
What do you think?” my cousin asked, and my fists automatically clenched
under the table.
She said “It’s good…” but then there was an abrupt sound of a light smirk
Coming from one of the ladies that was teasing Brylee earlier.

On the other hand, the people in the area didn’t stop.
“She has no decency, displaying her face to the whole public like that She
has never traveled very extensively over the world. She is only proficient in
the art of eating? The tone of the voice that I heard was even more mocking.
“Wel, oren’t you pointing out the bleeding obvious here? Her legal custody
was handed over to that old hag, who was also her peasant mother You
know like mother like daughter.”
And everyone burst out in a loud laugh

As soon as she concluded her statements, she immediately began guering
the wine, much to the humiliation of the ladies mocking her

“Celine. Don’t make a big deal out of it. Take a seat…” Brylee remarked with a
frown.
“You may speak shit about me and I’ll take it everything… but keep my
mother out of this!” Celine’snapped, ignoring Brylee as she focused her eyes
to the ladies who were talking about her. “Otherwise, who knows what this
peasant could do…” she drawled, a shadow of smile playing on her lips as
she stared at me and I gulped. But if anyone were to look carefully, Celine’s
expression was verging on stoniness.
“Coline!” Brylee got to her feet and bowed her head respectfully to the ladies.
“I’m sorry… Celine didn’t mean what she just said. She still doesn’t know what
the rules here. I beg of you, don’t agitate her any further than this. I… I’m sorry
if I forgot to teach her some manners.”
Everyone instantly rolled their eyes and grumbled. “What a striking contrast between a proper young lady and a scummy hick…”
Celine fell silent after that and all I could do was stare at her. I could feel that
she’s pretending—pretending to be an impolite yokel, a shameless sister.…..

she’s pretending that she’s a strong woman to protect herself.
What kind of person are you, Celine Lauren?
I was pulled out of my thoughts when Brylee’s friend, Mia stood up from her
seat. “May I have your attention, please.” she clapped her hands, getting the
attention of everyone at the table. “Let’s play truth or dare game, okay?”
“That would be fun!”
“Why don’t you explain the rules so that we could start playing?” Brylee
asked, she’s obviously excited to play the game.
“Whoever the bottle points to, will either drink or answer the truth.“Mia
explained and everyone erupted in applause and screamed in excitement.
“Okay, okay? It’s time to start the game!”
Brylee and her friends transferred to a round table and everyone who agreed
to play truth or dare joined there except for Celine who didn’t seem to be

interested in the game. She was paying more attention on the food she was
eating. When she looked up, our eyes locked, and she glared at me. I could
see from the look in her eyes that she’s not willing to reveal any sign of
weakness.
Jake was sitting next to her and had the need to participate in the game, but
he couldn’t leave Celine by herself.
“Celine, I think it would be fun if you join us…” Mia remarked while sporting a
devilish grin.
“No, I’d prefer not…,” she responded and turned her gaze away.
“But…”
“Don’t force her if she doesn’t want to….” After I told them, they all looked at
each other and shrugged their shoulders.
I couldn’t help but smirk when I noticed out of the corner of my eye that she Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
was once more staring at me. And it didn’t come as a surprise to me when
she got up from her seat pulled Jake with her, and brought both of them
over to the circular table where the rest of us were sitting. She plopped down
between Mia and the other girl who had been making fun of her earlier.
The girls giggled, and Mia leaned in close to Brylee and whispered something
to her just before she picked up the bottle.
After Mia had spun the bottle in the middle of the table, the other girls started
singing a chant. “Stop! Stop! Stop!”
They were all stunned into silence when it finally stopped, and they looked up
to see who had been pointed by the bottle.
Celine.
“So, Celine. You’re the first one who’s pointed by the bottle… Congrats!” Mia
chuckled to herself as she lifted the bottle and balanced it on its base. “Are
you going to drink, or answer a question?”
“I’ll drink…” After that, she drained a glass of red wine down her throat. As

soon as she put down the glass, her face flushed with a bright pink color.
As the game progressed, Brylee dared Mia to kiss the man who was sitting
across from her, which Mia did without showing any reluctance.
“Celine… one question or a glass of wine?”
When she saw the bottle pointing at her once more, her eyes widened in
surprise. And as expected, her choice for the second time around was
another glass of wine.
“Same for me…” After the bottle had pointed out to Jake, he laughed and
took the wine glass from the table.
Celine had been singled out for the previous few rounds, and she had little
choice but to accept the dare because she was adamant that she wouldn’t
answer any question.
When she was ready to take a sip of the wine for the umpteenth time, the
glass was yanked away from her.
Tl take the wine for her.” Jake said and everyone at the table groaned in
protest
“That’s not right, Mr. Harvey.” Mia moaned about it. “That wine belongs to
Celine. If you drink that one for her, then she will be forced to suffer the
consequences of another glass…”
Everyone was in agreement
