Chapter 3 Her Name Is Celica Savill

  • Upon hearing this, Genevieve's anger flared, and she stood up, approached Celica, and slapped her face once more, leaving it red and swollen.
  • "You're still denying it, huh? Celica Savill, not only have you betrayed my son, but you're even using our money to support some man out there, aren't you?!"
  • Genevieve had never considered Celica as part of the Hyde Family because she already had Luna in mind. As soon as Nathaniel recovered from his illness, she planned to kick Celica out. In Genevieve's eyes, Celica had no right to be a part of the prestigious Hydes.
  • Celica touched her swollen face and hadn't expected that Genevieve would create such a dramatic story based on a shirt. She calmly looked at Genevieve and said, "I've been with the Hyde Family for three years, and Nathaniel has never shown any interest in me. Besides, people abroad have always been more open-minded, so if we're really talking about betrayal, I'm probably the one who's been hurt the most."
  • "You!" Genevieve couldn't stand anyone questioning her son's integrity. She raised her hand to slap Celica again, but this time, Celica easily caught her wrist.
  • "Madam Hyde, you're the elder here. I'll accept your two slaps, but let's not forget how I joined this family in the first place. If this situation gets ugly, neither of us will benefit from it."
  • Back then, she was forced into the Hyde Family. If it weren't for the Savills using her mother against her, Celica would never have willingly become the Hydes' puppet for three years and protected Nathaniel from all the gossip and criticisms.
  • "Are you threatening me?" Genevieve's eyes widened in anger.
  • After three years, the innocent lamb Genevieve thought Celica was turned out to be a fierce wildcat.
  • "No, I'm just offering a friendly reminder." Celica smirked and released Genevieve's hand. "If you have no other matters, I'll take my leave."
  • With that, she went upstairs, packed her belongings, and left.
  • ...
  • In the CEO's office of Hyde Corp, Remus knocked and entered, walking directly to Nathaniel, who was sitting on the couch. "Mr. Hyde, I've found it," he said while handing his boss a file.
  • "Her name is Celica Savill. I've done some research. She was at the wolf pack graduation party yesterday. It seems she was drugged and ended up in your room."
  • Remus immediately dismissed the suspicion that Celica was intentionally placed there by someone else.
  • It sounded like a story of Alice falling into Wonderland.
  • Nathaniel remained expressionless, flipping through the file, which included a set of photos.
  • Although the evening light was dim, the camera captured the woman's delicate face. Her exquisite facial features were captivating, and her figure was curvaceous. Her full breasts accentuated her top, creating a rounded curve. Her slim waist seemed like it could be held with just one hand, which reminded him of the passionate scene from last night when he held her and embraced her passionately.
  • Seeing Nathaniel's gaze lingering on the photos, Remus' complexion worsened. He cautiously added, "Mr. Hyde, there's something you may need to know."
  • "What is it?"
  • "This Celica Savill, she's married." Remus almost bit his tongue as he spoke.
  • Having worked closely with Nathaniel for many years, he knew how rare it was to find a woman who didn't trigger his boss' allergies. It was like a scientist discovering a second Earth in space.
  • Then again, Nathaniel had a germ phobia. A married woman... probably wouldn't do!
  • Sure enough, Nathaniel's expression turned grim instantly, and the air around him grew icy. His amber wolf-like eyes were filled with displeasure, and he exuded a dangerous aura.
  • Remus secretly wiped away some cold sweat. After all, I was only speaking the truth.
  • Buzz...
  • Suddenly, Remus' phone rang at an untimely moment. It was a call from the Hyde Estate.
  • The assistant instinctively looked at Nathaniel, who seemed to silently approve.
  • Quickly, he answered the call, and after a brief two-second conversation, he hung up.
  • Remus looked at Nathaniel with hesitation once more. "That was Hyde Estate, sir. They said Madam Hyde has taken some people to the estate and is causing trouble for Mrs. Hyde. Madam Hyde claimed that Mrs. Hyde is...is having an affair." Remus spoke somewhat nervously.
