Tame Me My Brother -in-Law Chapter 19

The following morning, I made the necessary arrangements for the

cremation of my mother, and her urn was deposited in a columbarium in this

city. I was alone in my sorrow over her passing. I was alone myself, and no

one showed me any compassion; nonetheless, I didn’t feel the need for

either of those things. I am a strong woman, my mom taught me how to be.

And I was able to complete the task on my own. I am going to survive without

anyone else in my life at all.

It was seven o’clock in the evening when my sister and her boyfriend’s

engagement party was held in a five-star hotel, and I didn’t expect that my

beloved dad would invite me. I was pleasantly surprised.

My ears continued to ring with the sound of his voice as I thought back to the

conversation we had over the phone the day before. “You’re required to

attend the engagement party for your sister tomorrow looking like you are

prepared to make positive changes in your life. You won’t be able to leave

until the photo shoot is over.”

As I went through the rain while wearing nothing but a slender white dress

that stopped just above my knees, my jaw clenched and my fists tightened,

not minding the cold water rain that was pouring down on me. I was standing

there barefoot and saturated from head to toe.

“I will not take no for an answer, Celine!” Words that Julio Lauren had spoken

kept resonating in my head as I made my way through the chilly rain.

“Because if you decline to come, you will never be able to get away from the

Wheeler family!”

You are going to be sorry that you invited me to come here, dad…

“When the celebration is over, you will make your way back to the Lauren

family and make amends for your behavior. This is an honor that lasts a

lifetime, Celine… You should feel proud that my family will be able to embrace

you and become a legal Lauren. You’re not allowed to leave until tomorrow.”

I slapped on my best smile and made a beeline for the location of the party.

Due to the fact that word of my transgressions had spread across the city

and the various social media platforms, the security personnel at the hotel

were aware of my presence,

These security officers undoubtedly assumed that I was heading here to

attend the engagement party for my sister, but they were slightly taken

aback when they caught sight of my bare feet and soaked clothes,

especially considering that it was in the middle of chilly December.

“Miss Lauren, are you okay?” the bald security guard came over with an

umbrella in his hand. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

I smiled secretly before I answered him. “I’m so sorry… my clothes are in my

sister’s place, and I just lost my shoes. I’m sorry, but I won’t be able to spend

much time talking to you today. It is imperative that I report to the party

promptly or else my father would be angry…”

After a minute of astonished silence, he then offered the umbrella to me and

smiled. “Do you need this?”

I didn’t pay attention on him and walked straight over.

It was clear to me from looking at the attendees in the hall that these are not

ordinary citizens but rather people who are well–known in the city. Perfect!

I slammed the door open and all of the people’s attention shifted on me,

their eyes scrutinizing me, judging me, and shot me murderous glares but all

I could do was smirk at them as I continued to walk further into the room.

“Congratulations, Mr. Anderson!”

“Congrats! Finally, you’re getting married!”

“I wish you all the happiness, Seb!”

I smiled at the guests as they congratulated me on my engagement party.

Chapter 19 The Engagement Party

Even though it was supposed to be a joyful day, I couldn’t help but feel

unsettled. There was a heavy feeling that I was experiencing right now and I

couldn’t help but wonder why. As if something bad was going to happen.

Brylee looked absolutely stunning standing next to me. She was wearing a

gold–colored long dress without a strap, and it had a high slit that stopped at

the highest part of her thighs, matching the three–piece black suit I was

wearing with my gold neck tie. But whenever I looked at her face, all I saw

was her sister, Celine…

On that particular day, I was present at the press conference, so I saw

everything that took place. And as soon as I saw Celine leave the room, I

hurried after her as quickly as I could.

The moment I saw her pass out in the rain, my heart broke for some reason

that I couldn’t explain.

I didn’t want to think that she was that kind of woman, a woman who had

abortions twice, a woman who decided to have a relationship with a man

who was married, and worst of all, a woman who used her body to gain

Chapter 19 The Engagement Party

money from other people.

That was the conclusion drawn from the investigation, but why does my gut

tell me something completely different? Why did she appear to be so

hopeless and depressed every time I looked at her? Why does she looked so

weak and fragile every time her eyes meet mine?

The only thing I wanted to accomplish at that time was to take her to the

hospital, and when we were inside the car with her head leaned over my

shoulder, I overheard her talking to herself while she was asleep.

“Mom… it’s killing me. I really don’t want to do this…” I could see by the tears

running down her face that she was crying even though her face was soaked

with the water from the rain. “Don’t forget your promise, dad…” that was her

final words before she finally became silent and remained so until we arrived

at the hospital.

What exactly did she mean by those words? I couldn’t help but gently touch

her face with my fingers while dabbing away her tears. That was the very first

time that I had any inkling of how fragile she may be.

Chapter 19 The Engagement Party

Suddenly, a cry of surprise brought my thoughts back as I watched Celine

walked her way towards me and Brylee. She was wearing nothing but a thin

white dress, and was soaking all over from her already black hair, down to

her feet that was bare.

I glanced at her face and she looked like a demon that had just emerged

from the underworld. What exactly is going on with her?

The people who were staring at her were talking about her behind her back

and whispering insults, while several of the male attendees were looking at

her with an obvious lustful intent. She was extremely painful to look at.

My gaze averted back to Celine’s face and glared at her. I wanted to be

angry at her for ruining my engagement party but somehow, I couldn’t help

but notice that she exuded a sense of melancholy.

Everyone was speechless for a few minutes before they reacted and started

murmuring among themselves.

“What’s going on here?”

Sun,

Chapter 19 The Engagement Party

I noticed that my mother was looking at her with a distinct expression of

disapproval on her face. Dad gave her a stern look before shaking his head

and gesturing for us to take back to our seats and see how things play out on

their own.

When I watched Sasha give Julio’s side a hard nudge, my eyes constricted at

them. I saw him stand up with his jaw tightened and his fists closed on his

sides. He rapidly crept up behind her daughter while wearing a grim

expression, as if he were heading to a battle.

“Celine, what the fuck are you doing?!!” The visitors were stunned into silence

as they awaited the event that was about to take place when Julio’s voice

resounded throughout the hall. “Go back home and get dressed in

something else! I told you to behave appropriately at the engagement party

of your sister. What the hell is this?”

Celine gazed up at him with a faint smile in her eyes, rimmed with a hint of

mockery.

It seemed as though Julio couldn’t stand her daughter’s gaze, it was as

Sun,

Chapter 19 The Engagement Party

though he was looking into the eyes of an adversary. “Celine…” he groaned.

“Don’t make a fool of yourself here! Go home!”

As Julio yelled to his daughter, he grabbed Celine’s wrist and was about to

tow her out of the room but everyone gasped when she brushed off her

father’s hand and proceeded to move towards us in a slow but determined

manner.

I was able to sense from Brylee, who was standing right next to me, that she

was getting anxious and frowning while staring at her sister. In anticipation of

what was going to happen, I couldn’t help but give a sly grin. I have a feeling

that this is going to be quite exciting.
