Chapter 1139
At first, Celeste was puzzled, but it made sense when she heard it was Helen’s arrangement.
After years of being the mistress and enduring humiliation, she was finally about to become a wife. Of course, a grand wedding was in order.
Mrs. Kelley complained, “They had a rehearsal yesterday. Helen is very particular about the venue, especially the gazebo. She checked it over and over again. I don’t know why she was so fascinated by those balloons there.”
Gazebo?
Celeste thought about it. It must be the one that Mr. Hilliard performed last time.
What’s so special about that place? It’s not even in the center of the venue,
Mrs. Kelley, now too sensitive about the mistress to wife upgrade, couldn’t help but curse, “Men are all scurn. They don’t want a woman who treats them well and saves them money. Instead, they deeply love those who burn through their money like it’s nothing.
Now I get it. If you have money, you should spend it. Be good to yourself and your children. If you’re stingy, not only will he not appreciate you, but the money will eventually end up in another woman’s pocket, becoming the dresses in her closet and the bags on her shelf.”
After she finished, she reminded Celeste, “You need to be smart too. Holding onto Liam’s wallet is more effective than holding onto him Handsome men are more likely to cheat.”
Celeste sent screenshots of the bank transfers Liam had made to her to Mrs. Kelley, shamelessly saying. In our house, he usually mandam
money willingly.”
Mrs. Kelley wanted to block her right away.
But Celeste wasn’t done showing off. She slowly said, “It’s better to marry a handsome man because an ugly man not only cheats but is also
ugly.”
Was that a dig at Mrs. Kelley?
Her husband, Bryce Kelley, was indeed average–looking. When she was young, she had many good–looking and well–off suitors
But she was brainwashed into thinking that a man with a humble and honest look was more reliable and insisted on marrying him, even falling out with her family over it.
Even when he cheated on her and begged for forgiveness, she really thought he was tempted and set up by others. She even helped him cover it up to prevent her family from finding out.
But in the end, a man cheating is like eating shit. Either it never happens, or it happens again and again.
She used to be blinded by her illusions. She found Bryce Kelley’s pitiful looks tolerable. But now that she saw clearly, his face disgusted her more and more. Celeste was right.
“Hertha, are you at Ruby Lake right now?”
Suddenly asked by Celeste, Mrs. Kelley felt helpless. Celeste usually called her Mrs. Kelley. When she needed a favor, she affectionately called her Hertha and had the final say on the interpretation.
“I’m heading there now. What’s up?”
Celeste thought for a moment, “Can you do me a favor? Check the gazebo carefully and see if there’s anything unusual.”
Mrs. Kelley said, “This is Helen’s wedding. She definitely wants it to be grander than anyone else. She must have checked it more carefully than us.”
*Please check it for me anyway.”
Celeste always felt Helen’s excessive attention to that place was a bit odd
“Okay, I’ll check it for you again.”
Celeste said, “Thank you, Hertha.”
Liam changed into his suit and came out. Celeste was downstairs curling her hair.
She was wearing a slightly retro dark green evening dress. Her makeup was vintage and exquisite. Although she looked beautiful, it didn’t seem .to match her age.
Especially her self–curled hair, which looked a lot like the hairstyles of Broadway stars in the 1960s.
