Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1701: Throw Her Out

Celeste Linden didn’t want her daughter exposed to the public eye, so she held Danielle and went back to her room.

...

In the room.

Celeste Linden gently touched Danielle’s head, "Danielle, were you scared just now?"

Danielle sat on the bed, frowning, "Mommy, that aunt was so scary just now, the way she looked at me was like she really hated me."

Danielle widened her eyes and mimicked Carlotta’s fierce expression from earlier.

Celeste Linden reached out and hugged Danielle, "That auntie doesn’t hate you, it’s just that mommy had a bit of a past conflict with that auntie."

Danielle tilted her head, "Mommy, is Uncle Ethan my daddy?"

Celeste Linden’s heart skipped a beat; with the commotion earlier, Danielle had heard the adults’ conversations and naturally knew that Ethan Barnes was her daddy.

Unexpectedly, it was through Carlotta’s mouth that Danielle found out about this.

Celeste Linden nodded, "Yes, he is."

Danielle immediately showed a sweet smile, her voice filled with childish innocence, "Mommy, no wonder I felt a closeness when I saw Uncle Ethan, he’s my daddy, after all! I have a daddy too!"

Seeing Danielle’s happy and satisfied expression, Celeste Linden didn’t know what to say.

"But mommy, I am daddy’s child, why do they all say I’m an illegitimate daughter? What does illegitimate daughter mean?"

"Also, I see other people’s daddies and mommies living together, sleeping together, why are my daddy and mommy not together?"

"Is daddy with that fierce auntie from earlier?"

Danielle raised her questions.

Celeste Linden couldn’t answer any of these three questions, and she was even thinking about whether the commotion Carlotta caused would lead to any rumors spreading?

She didn’t want Danielle to grow up with the "illegitimate daughter" label.

Celeste Linden felt like a heavy stone was pressing on her chest; she hadn’t expected the spa trip to turn out like this. She composed herself and said, "Danielle, you’ve had a long day too, mommy will give you a bath and then it’s time to sleep early."

Danielle nodded, "Okay."

...

On the other side, Carlotta watched Celeste Linden holding Danielle and leaving, feeling very unwilling. She wanted to rush forward, "Celeste Linden, don’t leave, how can you, a homewrecker, destroy others’ families and still walk away?"

At this moment, Ethan Barnes grabbed her arm, "Carlotta, my patience with you is limited, from now on, you better keep your mouth shut!"

Carlotta looked at Ethan Barnes, only to see his eyes coldly staring at her. His aura, commanding without anger, was chilling.

At this time, Ethan’s hawk-like narrow eyes scanned the crowd, he spoke lightly, "Mind your mouths, be careful not to get into trouble for idle talk, get lost!"

The word "get lost" had barely left his lips when the gossiping onlookers quickly scattered.

"Boss!" At this moment, a few loyal subordinates rushed over with the antidote.

"Ethan, is this how you’re treating me? Has a dog eaten your conscience? I see you’re bewitched by Celeste Linden and her daughter!" Carlotta continued to curse.

Ethan Barnes glanced at his men, "Throw her out!"

What? He actually told them to throw her out?

How could he do this?

"Ethan, you’re actually treating me like this... Mmm!"

Two of the subordinates stepped forward, covering Carlotta’s mouth, forcibly dragging her away, then forcefully throwing her out of the Elysium spa.
