Chapter 1926
"Celine, stop daydreaming.”
Preslie's younger aunt walked over.
She said to Celine with a darkened face, "What's wrong with you? What nonsense are you spewing? There's no weight if you make such claims here, but if you spread this, you may face legal consequences."
Celine face turned red in anger.
She had called her relatives here to show off, but she didn't expect them to turn on her.
"I'm telling the truth," said Celine. "Preslie really is working at the President's office."
Preslie's aunt got anxious and said, "Preslie, what did you tell your mother to make her believe you? Tell your mom you were just lying, if not, you'll be seen as a joke!"
Before Preslie could speak, a loud voice boomed, "My daughter is working at the President's Office!"
That was Calter's voice.
As his voice fell, a wave of laughter was heard again.
Celine was furious with the laughter.
She cried out, "All of you, you just don't believe me, do you? Fine then, I'll make you believe me!"
After that, Celine told Preslie, "Let's bring the whole lot of them to the President's Office. Let them have a look at it!"
Celine figured that if she and Calter could enter the President's Office, their relatives could too.
Calter shouted as well, "That's right! Bring them all to the President's Office now and let them witness everything!"
The angrier Calter and Celine's shouts got, the harder their relatives laughed. They were soon in hysterics
"The President's Office isn't a farmer's market. Do you think you can enter it at will? What an idiot!"
"I think Preslie's really great with her words, she managed to convince her parents. She's great at talking, no wonder she could become a salesgirl."
"Let's just listen to them and forget it. If one day the family ends up being arrested, we can laugh amongst ourselves at this inside joke."
Celine was livid.
She raised her voice and almost screamed, "Preslie, bring them to the President's Office!"
Preslie was both embarrassed and speechless.
She'd told her mother not to invite her relatives over as it was unnecessary to show her off in front of them. However, her mother did not listen to her.
She already knew her relatives would not believe that she really was working in the President's Office. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
In fact, it didn't matter to Preslie whether they believed it or not.
She had never once expected her relatives to believe in her.
She didn't have the authority to bring these relatives to the President's office. Of course, even if she did have the power, she would never do such a thing.
Celine became angrier when Preslie stayed quiet.
She cursed Preslie in her heart.
She cursed her own daughter for being an idiot.
She scolded Preslie internally for being a fool despite working in the President's Office.
If it was Amelia, she would simply bring the whole lot of her relatives to the President's Office and silence them all with the cold hard truth.
In the end, Celine dragged Preslie to her room.
Her eyes were red-rimmed. "Preslie, what are you doing! Don't you see your relatives laughing at your father and mother? Are you unbothered by it?"
Preslie did not say a word.
She wasn't impacted by the situation at all, but she did not know how to reply.
To add oil to the flame, Preslie felt like it was her parents' own fault for being mocked by their relatives.
Of course, Preslie didn't have the heart to say it out loud seeing her mother's red-rimmed eyes.
"Preslie, promise me you'll bring them all to the President's Office!" Celine said in a shrilling cry.
"Mom, just forget about it. If they don't believe us, there's no need to explain it to them."
Hearing Preslie's words, Celine was about to explode.
She pointed to her own face and said, "I just want my pride back. You're practically asking me to throw my pride away. I might as well just die!"
Celine sat on the ground and began to cry loudly, "My pride is gone. I have nothing. I'm being mocked, oh my goodness."
"Preslie, my good daughter, you really disappoint me. I was pregnant with you for ten months only to be mocked. Are you still my daughter? Are you even my beloved daughter?"
Preslie said nothing.
Her mom was crying so badly that Preslie found it annoying.
She then spoke, "Mom, it's not like I want you to be mocked by our relatives, but the President's Office is not some tourist spot where anyone can just simply go."
Celine didn't care about that.
She smacked her thigh and said, "I don't care. Think of a way to do it. You have to let them believe you. Otherwise, that'll mean you don't care about me. I will lose my pride, and I might as well not live anymore!"
With those words, Celine stood up and ran to knock her head onto a wall.
Preslie saw what her mom was about to do and was scared to the heavens.
She hurriedly hugged her mother and said, "Mom, don't do this. I'll find a way. I'll make sure I find a way."
Hearing Preslie's compromise, Celine stopped crying.
Preslie then called Sheldon.
It was impossible for her to simply show up to the President's Office with a large group of relatives. She could only ask Sheldon for a favor.
Preslie lowered her voice and spoke to Sheldon in
the corner of her room.
As she spoke, she was inexplicably embarrassed to the point where she just wanted to bury herself. "Mr. Hawls, my parents bragged about me in front of their relatives talking about how I'm working in the President's Office and my relatives don't believe them. My mom insisted that I bring all of them to the President's Office so that they'll believe it. But, but I don't know what to do. Can you help me think of a way, Mr. Hawls?"
Sheldon's eyes darkened on the other end of the line.
He didn't expect that helping Yesseca with a favor for Preslie would cause so much trouble.
"Mr. Hawls, can you help me?" Noticing that Sheldon was silent, Preslie asked again.
Preslie pleaded desperately.
It somehow touched Sheldon's heart.
Preslie's words had touched the protective desire deep in his heart.
He suddenly had a strong impulse to protect Preslie and to prevent her from suffering any injustice.
