Chapter 226

“That’s enough. Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? You’ve been taking everything from Nell ever since she was young.

“Now, you are jealous because she is living a better life than you and you think that you can take advantage of me? Celine, have you lost your mind from all the movie shootings? What do you think the Mortons are? An ATM that you can use for your show?”

Celine did not expect Jason to say something this harsh. So she sat there in disbelief while her hands that held her phone shook from all the frustration.

“JASON MORTON! Where is your conscience?! Why are you talking back to me? Did I not contribute to this relationship with you all these years? If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have put myself through all that grievance just for that!

“How could you do this to me now? You said you would love me for life, that you would treat me well. In fact, you were the one who tricked me into jumping in this hole!

“Jason Morton! I believe I’ve never done anything wrong to shame you, but what about you? I’m fine with your hot and cold attitude at times, but all I’m asking from you is just a present and this is your attitude? Do you regret this marriage or should I say you never wanted to marry me from the start?”

Celine shouted her lungs out through the phone and it made Jason frown.

“I didn’t say I don’t want to marry you from the start.”

“Then what did you mean just now?”

“I...”

His father’s reminder rang in his ears. In the end, he controlled the rage he felt at the bottom of his heart.

Anxious, he said, “I’m just trying to say that it is important to make the public believe that we are in love; it is not necessary to compare yourself with others.

“A good relationship should never be shackled by all those things, it’s about the understanding between you and me. What do you think?”

Celine clenched her fists tightly as her body stiffened.

A moment later, she said with a cold look, “What if I insist?”

Jason also reacted coldly to her answer.

“Celine, can you be more understanding?”

“Why should I? Must I, Celine Jennings, live under the shadow of Nell Jennings? Must I forever lower myself in front of her? I don’t want to!

“You are my husband and your wife, me, is being bullied outside. Should you not stand up and protect me? Or are you scared of Gideon’s power and status? If not, why are you so scared of stepping on Nell’s tail then?

“If you want to be a coward, just say so! Don’t worry, if I can’t rely on you, I won’t force you to help me either. There are a ton of men in this world that I can rely on!”

“CELINE!”

A shout came from the other side of the phone.

Celine slowly reacted to the shout and realized that she had said something wrong.

Shocked, she quickly explained, “Brother Jay...”

“Hmph!” Jason grunted coldly.

“What? You’ve finally revealed your true intentions? Okay, if you think I’m no better than other men, you can leave. I really don’t mind at all.”

“I didn’t mean it that way...”

“I don’t care what you mean! Bear in mind that the title of Mrs. Morton is just a deal between us Mortons and Jennings. After the deal is over, we will go our separate ways. Don’t ever come to me with your problems again, goodbye!”

Bam! With a slam, the call ended.

Celine was shaken.

“Deal? Separate ways? Huh?’

Things that she never wanted to face before was pried open by the conversation, and the ugly truth threw her into a state of despair.

“Brother Jay, so that’s how you think of me? I see... I devoted myself to you for so many years yet you view me as just a deal? Haha... Hahaha...

HAHAHAHA!! How ironic! What a joke!’

Celine burst out into maniacal laughter as she gripped onto her phone tightly. In laughter, she was starting to lose her mind as her body shuddered and tears rolled down her cheeks.

“Jason Morton, it is you who has failed me when you said such words to me today. I will make you regret what you say one day!’

...

Two days later.

“Cannon Fodder Guide’ finally wrapped shooting after all the hiccups.

With the shooting done, everyone could take a temporary break but as producers, Nell and George could not relax like the others.

Instead, they had to attend promotion tours together with Celine and two other actors who had more screen time than others.

After a few promotional runs, the tour ended without any problems.

Celine still hated Nell but for whatever reason, she looked less energetic lately. Instead, she looked dispirited. It was as if she had experienced some devastating shock because she was even thinner than before.

Worried that she was exhausted, Tim wanted her to go home and rest but Celine refused to.

Ever since her argument with Jason that night, her heart could not rest.

With the promotional tour on her schedule, at least there was something to distract her from overthinking.

If she really went home and rested, she might really lose her mind by being all alone.

Nell did not know what had happened between her and Jason, so she did not care. She was just grateful for the peace and quiet time because Celine was not in the mood for trouble lately.

Today, she received a call from Tim saying that he would bring her and Celine to a charity ball tonight.

Other than being a charity ball, the grand event was also a place where female celebrities compete with each other just to secure more spotlight.

Nell wore a black mermaid gown to the ball, which showed off her grace and glamour. She tied her hair up and wore a diamond necklace with a starry design around her neck that made her look even more glamorous.

Tim then brought her around and chatted with a few investors.

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 He was not good at socializing but he knew no matter how bad he was in this field, he must act well to not shame himself or who he represented.

Since Nell had been in the public relations field for many years, she was much more skillful than Tim. Hence she was able to fill in for Tim’s shortcomings and sail through the situation with ease.

However, Celine arrived a little later. She usually attended events with Jason but today, she came alone and it made her uncomfortable.

She was very depressed. Even though she had put on meticulous makeup, she had lost the glow that she had on her face before.

Angel could not follow Celine in, so she parted with Celin at the entrance.

When Celine came down from the car, Angel said, “Ms. Celine, I’ve called Young Master Morton but he said he’s busy and cannot make it tonight.”

Celine froze for a second there before she sighed a breath of relief.

“I got it.”

She then walked in alone.
