As they spoke, a Hidden Guard acknowledged the order, grabbed the screeching Eve Warren from the floor, and dragged her away like a dead dog.
"Celeste Grant… you goddamn bitch… Just you wait."
"I won't let you get away with this! One day, I'll kill you!"
In response to her threats, Celeste Grant just laughed. "Hahaha, Jocelyn Grant's mother, you still know nothing about capitalist exploitation. Even if a mistress showed up, she'd have to work on a factory assembly line screwing in bolts. Even the Jade Emperor himself would have to haul sandbags for me. Drag her away."
Once her voice faded away, Celeste Grant felt the very air had cleared. She wasn't in any rush to kill Jocelyn's mother. Since she was here, Celeste intended to play the role of a proper host. Since this woman looked down on mortals so much, she would first let her experience the hardships of being one.
"I hope she can last for a while. It'd be a shame if she died so quickly, hehehe."
