Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband
Chapter 1717: ShamelessThe butler took out a check and handed it to Celeste Linden.
Celeste Linden took it in her hand and glanced at it. The check had countless zeros; it was truly a huge check.
Hiss.
Celeste Linden directly tore the huge check into pieces, a mocking curve appearing on her lips. "Are you trying to use this money to buy my daughter? Sorry, I’m not selling. Danielle is priceless to me; she’s my life. Return Danielle to me immediately!"
"Miss Linden, the young lady has already been taken away. Even if you don’t accept this check, you won’t see the young lady again. Goodbye."
The butler turned and left.
Celeste Linden was furious to the extreme. She never expected the Barnes family to pull such a stunt behind their backs, despicably and shamelessly taking her Danielle away.
What should she do now?
At this moment, Morgan Ashworth and Willow Crawford hurried over upon hearing the news. "Sis, I heard something happened. Are you all okay?"
Celeste Linden immediately grabbed Morgan Ashworth’s hand, "Miles, Danielle was taken away by the Barnes family. They want to take custody of Danielle; they don’t plan to return her to me."
"What?" Willow Crawford furrowed her brows. "How could the Barnes family be so shameless?"
Morgan Ashworth pondered for a moment, "Sis, don’t panic yet. Danielle is a Barnes by blood. They will definitely take good care of her. Besides, Danielle is so intelligent and clever; there shouldn’t be a big problem. I’ll have someone investigate where they took her. Once we find out, we’ll go get her back."
Celeste Linden nodded, "Okay."
...
Morgan Ashworth took Celeste Linden back. She hadn’t eaten much; although the Barnes family would treat Danielle well, this was the first time in three years that Danielle had been away from her. She really missed her.
Willow Crawford brought in some delicious food, "Sis, eat a little first. We need to have the energy to find Danielle."
Celeste Linden could only pick up the chopsticks and force herself to eat.
"Sis, Morgan has been investigating the whereabouts of the Barnes family, but it’s clear they were prepared in advance. Morgan hasn’t found anything yet, but I believe there will be news soon."
Celeste Linden took a bite of rice, "Willow, do you think Ethan Barnes is awake?"
Willow Crawford paused, "I heard he was awake when they took him away."
"Since he’s awake, why doesn’t he return Danielle to me? I could understand old man Barnes taking Danielle, but he’s also competing with me for her!"
Celeste Linden harbored strong resentment towards Ethan Barnes. How dare he compete for Danielle?
At that moment, Morgan Ashworth came in, "Sis, we’ve found the Barnes family’s whereabouts."
"Really? That’s great. Where are they now? I’ll go find them."
"Sis, I just contacted old man Barnes. He said only you could go alone. I’ll take you there and wait outside. Old man Barnes wouldn’t dare to harm you."
Since Danielle was with the Barnes family, Morgan Ashworth didn’t dare to be forceful. Both sides were cautious, so they had to negotiate peacefully.
Celeste Linden nodded, "Okay, Miles, I can go in alone. I’m not afraid."
...
Soon, Morgan Ashworth sent Celeste Linden to the Barnes family. Celeste Linden went in alone, and Danielle’s tender voice immediately came over, "Mommy~"
Celeste Linden looked up and saw little Danielle running towards her.
"Danielle!" Celeste Linden immediately spread her arms wide and tightly hugged Danielle.
