Chapter 1137
“Some of them–Steven Garcia stopped mid–sentence, his emotions were flaring up, “What, what did you just call me?”
They’d known each other for a while now, but she had never seen Steven so surprised before. She couldn’t help but smile, “I called you bro. If you can’t accept that right away, I’ll just go back to calling you Mr. Garcia like before.”
Steven asked, “Has Liam Reed told you everything?”
Celeste Campbell hummed in response, “He showed me your childhood pictures. I think we look alike.”
Steven was grinding his teeth in frustration. That Liam didn’t even warn him beforehand or give him any time to prepare mentally.
He said softly, “That’s because you haven’t seen our mom’s pictures when she was young. You look more like her. There are photos at our grandparents‘ house. When we get back home, I can find them for you.”
Thinking of the elderly couple from the Hann family she had seen in the video, Celeste asked softly, “Did the grandparents come specifically for
this?”
“Yes,” Steven didn’t hide it anymore, “You were supposed to meet them that day, but then that incident happened. But it’s good that you know now We can start planning the recognition ceremony and reveal your background sooner, so those who don’t know the truth won’t gossip about
What Steven was referring to were, of course, those who gossiped about Celeste’s divorce and her not being the Campbell family–he
After Celeste and Liam divorced, she heard a lot of rumors. At first, she was bothered, but after a while, she just didn’t care anymore

Steven was smart. As soon as she said that, he knew. “It’s about the Campbell family, isn’t it?”
Celeste nodded, “I need to resolve the disputes in the Campbell family.”
“I’ll help you Just tell me what you need.”
Celeste shook her head, “Bro, don’t do anything for now. Shawn Campbell might be stupid, but Helen is suspicious. If she detects our relationship and starts to guard against us prematurely, it’ll be hard for me to incite conflict between her and Shawn. We need them to start fighting.”
Shawn wanted to adopt her as his daughter to get closer to Liam. This was an excellent opportunity for her. If her background was revealed prematurely, even someone as stupid as Shawn would doubt her motivation for accepting this.
She must make these two people experience the pain her mother had suffered.
Steven let out a sigh. Although he was really anxious, he had waited for several months already. Waiting a bit more wouldn’t matter. After all, Letti had recognized him. It was just a matter of time before she was formally adopted.
And besides, she was doing this for Caitlyn. Caitlyn’s kindness in raising Celeste was something neither the Garcia family nor the Hann family could forget. If Celeste wanted to pay her respects, no one had the right to stop her
