S POV
“Celine… stop it!” Brylee tried to stifle her sister’s continued babbling by
placing her hand over her mouth. There was fear in her eyes as she glared at
Celine and I don’t know why she was feeling this way. “The alcohol’s gone
straight to your head! You have to stop talking now, or you’ll embarrass
yourself even more…”
“You sold your virginity for ten thousand dollars?” Mia repeated what Celine
had just stated in her own words. I, too, found it impossible to believe what I
had just been told. Did she actually carry it out? Or is she simply inebriated
and making things up as a result of having consumed an excessive amount
of alcohol?
Everyone perked their ears up in response to what was spoken. As if they
hadn’t considered the possibility that she might have sold her virginity for something else.

“Yes…” she smirked at Mia, her eyes fluttering as she spoke. “For ten
thousand dollars. Easy money, right_?”
As she smiled, a few strands of her gorgeous hair were blown against her
face by the breeze, and I had to suppress the impulse to tuck it behind her
ear. Her lovely face looked particularly surreal under the effect of alcohol.
After everyone heard what she said, they instantly started to dislike her more
than they already did.
“A girl from the island who has never experienced what the city has to offer…
Of course, I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that she gave up her virginity in
exchange for the sum of ten thousand dollars… Don’t you care about your
self–esteem at all?” Mia remarked in a condescending manner.
A few of the men looked puzzled but didn’t say anything else about it.
“How much confidence can she possibly have in herself?” a woman who
appeared to be in her mid–thirties made a remark. “If she gave a damn
about her self–esteem, the netizens wouldn’t have thrown shade at her on

“Sall–esteem.?” It appeared as though Celine was struggling to
comprehend what exactly that meant by the way her eyes were contracted
and half–closed, On the other hand, and to my astonishment, she started
laughing out loud, “It means nothing when it comes to money, Money can
save a person’s life but self–esteer can’t…
Before leven noticed that she was biting her lips because they were shaking,
her expression during the conversation immediately changed to one of
Intense annoyance,
“The stomach cancer…” she continued. “The hospital would’ve discontinued her treatment if I didn’t pay them. Money is very… very important!”
As they saw Coline break down, everyone exchanged shocked glances with
one another. They were all rendered speechless by the spectacle that was unfolding in front of them.

said, “I don’t know how she acquired that sickness, but she was too young to
have it. I thought. If we have money. If I already have money. I thought she
could’ve lived longer. But Money couldn’t even save her!”
One of her eyes abruptly shed a tear as she looked up and continued to
stare blankly, at no one in particular.
“Celine…” Brylee hissed and my eyebrows furrowed as I looked at her. “You
have to stop now!”
“Why, my dear sister?” Celine inquired of her while sporting a sarcastic grin
on her lips. “Don’t you miss our mom?”
“You’re delirious, Celine! Let’s go. I’ll take you back to your room…” Brylee
attempted to take control of the situation by pulling her sister’s hand to assist
her. But everyone let out a gasp when Celine pushed Brylee away, causing
Celine to fall forward to the ground when Brylee tried to avoid her hand from
pushing her.
“Celine!” Jake yelled, which caused both of us to stand up from our seats;

“But, I’m so worried about you!”
“You have nothing to worry about me.” I saw her give him a warm grin as
she lifted her hand to stroke my cousin’s face. This thing drove me to clench
my hands even more tightly. “My body and my mind are still functioning

well…”
“Mr. Harvey!” Mia called out. “She told you that there’s no need for you to take
her back to her room. Since it is your hotel in any case, I presume that every
member of your staff can be relied upon, right?”
Jake’s expression was one of concern as he observed Celine’s vanishing
figure as it retreated from our line of sight.
I heaved a sigh as I got out of my seat and stood up. “Where are you going?”
I could feel Brylee’s hand tugging at the hem of my shirt as she tried to get
me to sit down again.
“I–I’ll just use the restroom…” I stated, and she appeared to have been
persuaded by what I had to say because she quickly released her grip on my
shirt.
I got an uneasy feeling about Celine, so I decided to slip out of the lobby and
watch her as she left the hotel to go to the pool at the right side of the
building rather than turning to the right to get to the elevator. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

I crept closer to the water and concealed in the shadowy section of the area
so that she wouldn’t notice me as I made my way near the pool.
People who didn’t wish to swim in the sea could make use of the hotel’s
kidney–shaped pool, which was huge located on the property’s side. There
was a massive rock garden at the front, with a waterfall that gushed out of it.
It appeared to be quite wonderful and stunning…..
I saw Celine stand by the pool, and before I could save her, she wobbled in
the water, making my eyes widen when I saw her fall down in the pool…
