Chapter 448 Being Stalked
"I'm so envious. So many people are fighting for you. But I am pitifully single." Angy stated with not even a shred of envy or pity in her eyes.
"What is there to be envious of? I really hate this group that likes to show off in front of others. They are so hypocritical." Wendy replied as she looked at the guy that was trying to teach Benson a lesson.
Of course, she could easily tell that this guy was here with some intentions. So, he was actually beating another person, claiming that he was a thief, while he himself was here to steal.
"Just ignore them. Let's go." Celine stated as she started walking away. Since this guy had decided to take care of Ben, she decided to leave. There was no need for her to continue staying here anymore.
Denali, Samantha, Wendy, and Angy both followed her. It was not like they had never seen a drama like this before. Almost every time that they went out even before Celine became this incredibly beautiful, there was always a group of people that came to show off in front of them.
And of course, there was also a group that came with malicious intentions. There was even a time that a group of people had come over to kidnap Celine. But in the end, they were beaten up.
When the young man saw that Celine was leaving, he pursed his lips a little, before finally kicking Benson in the chest. After that, he left Benson groaning on the ground, as he decided to follow this group of ladies.
He was the one that had been informed that there was actually a lady that might attract him. She was an incredible beauty. So, due to the curiosity that he was having, he decided to come over and take a look.
Of course, the one that had informed him of this was Alicia. He had been previously chasing after Alicia. But, due to the fact that they came from different strongholds, they could not interact so often.
It was just that, during some times when perhaps Alicia left her Stronghold together with her mother or father, and went to the stronghold that he was currently in, they would interact.
So far, he was planning that he had to marry Alicia. After all, although he was a playboy, playing with girls as toys, but, he knew that he had to marry at the end of it. But of course, he had to look for a girl that matched his status in order to marry.
But until now, he had not managed to impress Alicia. She always gave him a cold shoulder. They always talked from time to time, but, it was recently that the interaction between them was quite low.
Alicia of course knew about the fact that he was chasing after her. He was always blunt, and had already informed her that he wanted to marry her. Of course, he knew that she had already got an engaged to someone.
But, as long as she wanted, as long as she agreed to be married to him, then, he could utilize his family influence to annul the engagement between her and the whatever guy that she was engaged with.
It was just recently that he was surprised by the news that Alicia had sent him. She claimed that, there was a lady that was way better than she was. If he met with her, he might really forget about her.
Alicia had gone ahead and said to her the image of Celine that she had taken during the time that she was still in Azima.
When he looked at the image, he was impressed. Despite the fact that Alicia was beautiful, the image of the lady that had been sent over was actually a little better than Alicia. So, he decided to go and look for her.
Despite the fact that he was surprised that this lady was actually not from any stronghold, he decided not to care much about it. After all, if this lady actually did not possess any incredible background, then, this was going to be better for him.
And, that was how he utilized the issue of the Panthers organization to get permission from his father to come over. And of course, he knew that his father knew about the reason why he wanted to go out. But, since he never caused a lot of trouble for his father, his father allowed him to go out anyway.
He only arrived here the previous day. He had managed to finish his investigation of her whereabouts through an expert hacker that he hired (kidnapped). He he had gotten the information that she was in this mall. So, he came over, only to find that there was a guy that was trying to confess to her.
When he realized that Celine did not even seem interested in him, he was happy about it. It seemed that the traits of the lady in front of him was as he had been told.
As for whoever that Jack was, he did not care. He believed that he was going to be capable of stealing her away from him. In any case, he had never targeted something and it managed to slip away from him.
He also knew about the fact that, Alicia was only using Celine to make sure that he did not pay attention to her. But still, she was wrong. Despite the fact that the lady in front of him was awfully beautiful, he was sure that since she did not possess any incredible background, there was no way that his father was going to agree to let her get married to him.
In any case, he did not care if he married this lady or not. To him, as long as he got the chance to play with her, that was enough. As for the rest, he did not care about them at all.
…
On the other side, Celine and the group of girls continued their shopping spree. Celine made sure to purchase everything that she was attracted to.
Despite the fact that both Wendy and Angy found this matter a little disturbing, they did not care. Anyway, as long as Celine was happy with this, they were also okay with it.
"That guy has not given up yet. He is stalking us." Celine stated in an indifferent voice.
"Huh?" Both Wendy and Angy were surprised by this, and they turned around, trying to look for any traces of a person that was following them. They did not detect anyone following them despite the fact that they believed that their senses were not bad.
"Stop looking. You will not be able to find him. He is quite stealthy." Celine stated.
Wendy looked at Celine suspiciously. But when she realized that both Denali and Samantha did not react at all, she asked, "The two of you already knew?"
"Yep. That guy doesn't even know how to hide. He is following us so blatantly, and I can easily tell that he is following us. As for him, I do believe that had you not been looking around, he would have thought that he was not detected." Denali reply nonchalantly.
"Are you sure that you guys are not playing a trick on us?" Angy asked suspiciously.
It was just the two of them that could not see this person? Why was it that both Samantha, Denali, and Celine could actually detect that there was someone that was following them. As for them, no matter how much they looked into the crowd that was on this floor of the mall, they could not find anyone.
"Forget about it. Let us continue shopping." Celine shook her head when she realized that both Angy and Wendy were still looking around, obviously suspicious about what she had just said.
After looking around for about a minute or two, both Wendy and Angy finally gave up. Then, after hearing what Celine had just said, Wendy couldn't help but ask, "Isn't what we have already bought enough? Just look at this mountain of bags!"
The girls had found shopping trolleys and that was what they were using to carry the shopping bags. And, currently, there were already three shopping trolleys that had been filled to the brim.
More than that, both Celine and Samantha were still carrying several shopping bags in their hands.
"This is not enough. I have to look for more. You know, I have already told you that I am not sure about the period that I'm going to spend out there on a vacation with Jack. So, the more that I get, the better." Celine responded helplessly.
What vacation? She was going to a stronghold where fighting was a normal thing. Jack had already informed her that she had to be prepared because they were not going there to hide. Instead, they were going to be involved in several matters that might put their lives in danger.
Having already received information from Samantha about the strongholds, Celine of course knew about how dangerous it might be inside the strongholds if a person was not of any strong background.
But still, she did not give up on accompanying Jack to the stronghold. Other than looking for his mother, she was also curious about this other side of the world that she did not know about, not until Jack brought everything to light.
If Jack was not existing, then, there was no doubt that she might not come into contact with anyone from the stronghold.
After another 30 minutes of shopping, Celine finally thought that whatever she had bought was enough. So, the girls finally left the mall.
