Three hours later, the results were finally out.

Celeste insisted on waiting for the results and did not leave the center.

There were two copies of the report. Cindy didn't even bother to take a look at it. On the other hand, Celeste was reading through the report meticulously.

The entire report was written in another language. Lucky for her, she was raised abroad, and thus she had no problem reading them.

In the end, she realized that she not at all related to Cindy, not even a bit.

At that very moment, Celeste felt her heart sink.

This result made her inexplicably relieved and tense at the same time.

She was not Cindy's daughter, which proved that she had nothing to do with Heinz. But then, who on earth was she?

Who were her parents?

Celeste stood there in a daze. She held the report in her hand tightly, and her face looked pale.

Cindy came over and looked at her condescendingly, asking, "Have you read through it clearly?"

Celeste was rooted in place.

"I am not biologically related to you," Cindy uttered indifferently, "An illegitimate daughter? Am I the kind of woman who gives birth to a child and refuses a loving husband to raise the child all alone?" She was obviously not this kind of person.

Celeste also didn't expect such a result.

They were not related at all.

She used to address Cindy as her aunt, but now, this sounded particularly insulting.

The fact that Celeste always thought that she was Cindy's illegitimate daughter was never true. If they were completely not related, then how was she going to rely on her anymore?

As they had a verbal agreement before, since the report showed that she was not related to her, Celeste would willingly cut ties with Cindy.

Celeste looked at the report in a daze.

Cindy and Liam were both staring at Celeste. She did not speak and seemed particularly pitiful.

Liam subconsciously turned to look at Cindy.

Cindy raised her head slightly and said haughtily,

"Since the report is out and it shows that we are not related, you have to keep your promise. Move out immediately. From now on, we will cut all ties from each other." Celeste froze. She pursed her lips and said, "I have one more question."

"Go ahead."

"Who are my parents?" Celeste looked up at Cindy. She didn't want to miss this opportunity to get to the bottom of things.

Cindy was stupefied and immediately answered, "I don't know who your parents are. You were already an orphan when I adopted you, so I have no idea who your biological parents are." "Where did you adopt me?" Celeste stared deeply into Cindy's eyes, not missing the slightest bit of expression on her face, "Even if you adopt me, you have to adopt me from somewhere right?" "Northern City Orphanage," Cindy uttered coldly, "You can go check it out."

Celeste was puzzled. After a long while, she nodded and said, "Okay, got it. I will check it out."

After saying that, Celeste bowed deeply to Cindy and thanked, "Nevertheless, I am still very grateful that you raised me up all these years."

Cindy's face looked terribly gloomy and she snorted coldly. Although she was exasperated, she had no place for her to vent her anger.

She could do nothing else but glare at Celeste as she roared, "Pack up your things now and get out of my apartment."

She left after saying that.

Celeste pursed her lips as she watched Cindy leave. She was stunned in place.

Liam didn't leave either.

He sighed as he stared at her, asking, "What are you going to do now?"

Celeste was completely at a loss for what to do.

She couldn't continue to stay in London anymore. Without a guardian, she would not have a place to stay. All the money she had in her bank account was given to her by Cindy. She might still be able to survive on that amount of money for some time, but that amount of money was not able to pay for her school fees.

Celeste did not speak and remained silent for a long time.

Liam didn't say anything either.

The air between them was heavy.

A few moments later, Liam offered, "I'll take you back." "There's no need to," Celeste shook her head.

"Celeste, listen to me. Go back and have a rest. When Miss White has calmed down, go and apologize to her. Even though she doesn't have the best temper, she wouldn't really bear to kick you out of the house," Liam wanted to be the peacemaker.

After all, all of this happened because he said a little too much.

Celeste shook her head and said, "No, thank you, Mr. Robinson."

Now, she had cut ties with him as well.

He was no longer Liam. Instead, he was addressed as Mr. Robinson.

For a moment, Liam was at a loss for words and the atmosphere was tense.

A while later, Celeste turned away and was about to leave.

In a moment of desperation, Liam grabbed her by the wrist.

Celeste looked into Liam's eyes and asked, "Mr. Robinson, let go."

"Why are you so stubborn?" It was the first time Liam had met such a stubborn girl. He sighed, "You are the only one who is going to suffer. Why can't you just give in and tolerate it? Why do you think Miss White could become so famous? Do you know how much embarrassment and humiliation she had to endure before she could be so successful? Compared to her, your embarrassment is just child's play." Celeste was speechless because she was at a loss for words.

Liam's words were reasonable, but she just couldn't see herself doing that.

She felt that her dignity was more important.

"Let go," Moments later, Celeste still repeated the same words. Her words were emotionless, yet abnormally determined.

She still decided to leave. Even though she had no idea where she was going to go or what her next step was, she still chose to leave.

Liam frowned as he looked at her. He gradually loosened his grip as he saw the calmness in her gaze.

With that, Celeste turned around and left.

Liam's hands were suspended in mid-air, and he came back to his senses in an instant. Looking at Celeste's figure, he shouted, "It's getting dark outside. If you just wander around aimlessly, what are you going to do when you are in trouble? Don't forget that you're in a foreign country."

However, Celeste didn't look back and strode away without any signs of hesitation. Feeling a little depressed, Liam stepped forward quickly.

However, when he came out of the clinic, Celeste was nowhere to be found.

He frowned and his eyes were full of anxiety.

Liam picked up his phone and called Cindy.

The phone was connected, but Cindy still answered in a cold and sharp tone, "Liam, don't persuade me this time. Ask her to walk her own path. I won't interfere with her decisions anymore." "Miss White, she's gone," Liam was concerned, "What if she gets in trouble? I know that you are just upset, but what if something bad happens to her? You are going to regret it."

"That's also her fate. That's all I have to say."

With that, Cindy immediately hung up.

Liam felt helpless. He had no choice but to drive around and search for Celeste.

Soon, he arrived at her apartment. He knocked on the door but no one answered.

Liam grew even more anxious. He texted Celeste and even called her, but she didn't pick up any of his calls. In the end, she even switched off her phone.

With no other options available, Liam made a call to Ernest and asked, "Ernest, did Celeste go to your place?" "Didn't Celeste go back home already?" Ernest was very surprised, "What's wrong? Is she not home?"

"Yes, she did come back, but something happened. I can't get in touch with her right now."

The sky was gradually getting darker and it was already nighttime.

Ernest instantly became nervous, "What on earth is going on?"

"It's complicated," Liam couldn't explain, "Anyways, don't ask. It's their family business, so it's not my place to tell you."

"Then I'll go look for you right now. We'll go and look for her together," Ernest quickly made up his mind.

"Sure."

Ernest found a reason to leave the house but he didn't meet up with Liam first. Instead, he went to the school first. Usually, if Celeste didn't go back to her apartment, perhaps she might be wandering around the school.

After all, she had nowhere else to go. The only place she could go was the school.

When he arrived at the school, it was already very dark. Fortunately, there were still people in the school.

Ernest looked around, but Celeste was nowhere to be seen.

Just when he was about to give up, he saw a small figure squatting in the corner motionlessly.

She looked so pathetic.

Ernest squinted and he walked over.

As if she had sensed something, the person squatting on the ground suddenly looked up. She couldn't see clearly who was walking towards her, and Ernest immediately noticed how terrified she looked. "Don't be afraid. It's me, Ernest," Ernest quickly said.

Celeste heaved a sigh of relief.
