Chapter 13
The scene was silent.
Bernard turned his head blankly and looked at Celeste.
“She… Why didn’t you tell me?”
Celeste choked up and said, “When she was diagnosed, you had just founded the company.
“She knew that you would not hesitate to sell the company to treat her illness. But she also knew that making games was your lifelong dream. She said you should have your own life and be known by more people.
“Later, your company went public, and she didn’t have much time left. She knew that everything was already beyond redemption…‘

Bernard urgently interrupted her, “What do you mean by ‘she didn’t have much time left‘?
“You just put on a show, right? How much money do you guys want? Tell me. I have plenty of money!”
Bernard went crazy, and he was roaring on the stage.
If no one had stopped him, he would have jumped directly off the stage, which was over two meters high, and gone to Celeste to question her.
Celeste looked coldly at him and did not speak.
Although she knew that she couldn’t blame Bernard for this matter, she couldn’t help but hate him.
She hated him for making Elisa bear so many curses.
Seeing Bernard fall apart, Celeste suddenly felt relieved.
Celeste thought, “Bernard loves Elisa no less than me.
“He will only be a million times more agonized than me. That is enough.”
Celeste didn’t wanna waste any more words with him and turned around to leave.
But she saw Bernard suddenly kneel down to her on the stage.
The arrogance on his face disappeared, replaced by infinite humility and tears, which were so clearly reflected in Celeste’s eyes.
“Celeste, I beg you to tell me where Elisa is.
“For the sake of our acquaintance for so many years, please don’t deceive me.
“I can’t bear it. I really can’t bear it.”
He knelt on the ground, one hand on the floor and the other over his chest. He gasped for breath, his heart aching sharply.
Elísa died. Just as he thought of this, the pain in his heart almost killed him.
But Celeste had no trace of pity. She only felt delighted.
“She died. There is no longer Elisa in this world.
“I scattered her ashes into the sea.
“Her life was too short, and there are many sceneries she never saw. She hoped that after her death, she could go and take a look.”
Celeste thought she had made it clear enough, but the pleading voice behind her still did not stop.

“Bernard, if you don’t believe it, go and find her yourself. Just search all over the world. If you can find her, I will kneel to you for bringing her back to life.
“I lived with her for 20 years, and I wished more than anyone else that all of this was not true.”
Bernard was desperate and smiled bitterly, “She hated me, right?”
Celeste shook her head
“Elise said that after that program, she kept receiving money from an anonymous account. She guessed it was yours.”
Celeste posted all the transfer records on Twitter
The smallest amount was 16 thousand dollars, and the larger one was over 160 thousand dollars.

“Elisa was already deathly ill at that time. She said, “Thank you, but it’s too late.‘
“Elisa asked me to keep it a secret from you for a lifetime, but I couldn’t bear the fact that so many people were criticizing her. She was clearly the best woman in the world.
“So I wanted to clear her name, but I also didn’t wanna ruin you because Elisa loved you.
“I will donate this money in Elisa’s name and establish a cancer foundation.
“I wish you and your beloved woman a happy life together forever.
“We’re no longer friends.”
After saying that, Celeste turned around and left.
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
Some were discussing whether Sierra or Elisa was the other woman.
Bernard murmured in a trance, “No. I have always loved Elisa. I only love Elisa.”
When everyone was arguing heatedly, Sierra suddenly picked up the microphone.
She hesitated and said, “I’m sorry. Actually, I’m not with Bernard.”
