Chapter 1069
Old Mrs. Hann said, “If she can’t come because of work, it’s okay. I understand the importance of work for young people.”
Steven was relieved. He originally thought the old lady would understand, but then she continued, “If she can’t come, we will go to her. Steven, do you know where Celeste’s set is? Can you take us there tomorrow?”
Steven explained awkwardly. “The set is their workplace, not someplace anyone can just go in.”
Old Mr. Hann frowned, “Not anyone? Aren’t you the boss? How can you, as a boss, not bring us in? What’s going on?”
Steven was speechless. Seeing their normally talkative grandson now speechless, the old lady suddenly felt something was wrong. She asked sternly, “Steven, tell us the truth, did Celeste have any problems?”
Steven opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything.
Sheldon and Hiram’s face also changed.
The two old folks suddenly felt a tightness in their chest, Old Mr. Hann trembled, “Did something happen to Celeste? You guys are still hiding it from us!”
In the end, it was Sheldon who spoke up. “Dad, mom, Celeste is fine. She just ran into some problems at work and can’t show up.”
The two old folks asked in detail and finally found out about the problems Celeste had encountered on the set. After hearing the whole thing, the two old folks felt both distressed and angry.
They were looking forward to meeting her. But not only did the meeting fail, their granddaughter was also framed. Thinking about all these, they couldn’t help but blame Hiram, “Didn’t you say everything was arranged? How could this happen? She’s clearly being framed, why isn’t it solved yet and Celeste is still being slandered?”
Hiram had no words to defend himself, and he could only stand there and take the blame.
Ever since he remarried, the old folks from the Hann family had been cold towards him. Especially Old Mr. Hann, who found him annoying just by looking at him.
He tried his best to improve the relationship over the years, but to little effect. When he found out his youngest daughter was still alive, he invited the old folks over, hoping to use this opportunity to acknowledge his child and improve the relationship. But he didn’t expect this to happen before they even met How could Old Mr. Hann not blame him?
Steven watched Hiram being blamed, he couldn’t bear it and whispered, “We didn’t expect this. The company is dealing with it now. Celeste is safe now, and you guys don’t have to worry.”
Old Mrs. Hann sighed, “How can we not worry when we haven’t seen her?”
Steven thought about it and sent a message to Liam.
Liam had just put Celeste to sleep when his phone vibrated. He picked it up and saw it was a message from Steven [How’s Celeste?]
Liam replied: [Just got to bed.]
Steven wanted to ask if they had slept separately or together. But then he thought that was a stupid question. How could Liam be playing fair after going through all the trouble to get Celeste by his side?
But now wasn’t the time to dwell on that. Steven said: [Shoot me some pics of her.]
[Why?] Liam asked.
[Cut the crap!] replied Steven.
He wasn’t clueless about Liam’s sudden change in attitude. He must have figured out the deal between him and Celeste, otherwise he would’ve started arguing by now.
[My grandparents need to see she’s okay before they can chill. Hurry up. If you can’t take a pic, I’ll have to bring her home.] Steven said.
Liam gave a sly smile, whipped out his phone. He snapped a few shots of Celeste, who was sound asleep, and then sent them over to Steven.
