Chapter 1148
On the way back, Celeste was over the moon, saying things like “Sandra has great taste“, “unlike you who are too straightforward and don’t appreciate” and so on….
Liam just shook his head and shut her up with a cherry.
Her supposed “coincidental” encounter was actually meticulously arranged by Liam.
At that time, because of Sydney Denton, Celeste always had some distance between her and Liam. Even though it was so obvious, she refused to think about it. She subconsciously felt that Liam didn’t truly like her wasn’t good enough for her, and naturally wouldn’t take her matters to
heart.
Looking back now, free from her previous biases, she felt she might have been a bit too harsh on Liam.
He did all the good deeds, but the blame fell on him.
Celeste wasn’t close with Carla. The fact that she stood up for her was clearly Liam’s doing.
Her closet used to hold many of Carla’s ready–to–wear and custom–made designs, all sent by Liam through Owen.
Liam wasn’t good at picking these things, but he knew Celeste’s taste–she only cared about price, not quality
As a top domestic fashion design industry figure, Carla naturally became Liam’s first choice.
Such a big client deserved extra respect from her.
With a heavy hitter like Carla standing up for her, the authenticity of the dress was beyond question.
“Celeste having such a relationship with Sandra is unimaginable.”
“Having been with the Reed family and seen the world, she remains nonchalant even when wearing such a treasure. Unlike some people, who become as excited as a hen laying eggs when wearing a couture dress that others have worn on the runway”
“Angel lending her a dress was obviously meant to humiliate her. Who knew that the one Celeste wore was worth more than the workmansh Angel’s dress? What a joke.”
“Lana’s designs always emphasize craftsmanship and tradition, which have become her popular topics. Any random domestic designer can come up with more innovative designs. It’s all about marketing. True design should be like Sandra’s, perfectly blending with the wearer and complementing each other.”
“Just like the difference between a newbie and a pro gamer.”
Seeing that Celeste was not ridiculed but became the center of attention, Adriana was so angry that her face turned green.
But the person with the most upset expression was undoubtedly Angel, who had just “generously” offered to lend Celeste a dress.
She intended to embarrass Celeste but ended up embarrassing herself instead.
To avoid further ridicule, Angel could only suppress her dissatisfaction. Using the excuse of hosting guests, she left with a sour expression
Celeste fixed her hair, picked up the gift box, and went to the reception to give gifts.
Liam silently followed behind.
As soon as Celeste handed out the gifts, Liam intercepted them, pulled out two gift bags, and calmly said, “This one’s hers.”
She gently pinched the gift bag Liam gave her, immediately pushed hers back, and retorted, “No need, you handle your stuff. I’ll take care of
mine.”
Liam pursed his lips, “Do you really need to draw such a clear line
‘ween us?*
Celeste’s eyelids twitched violently.
Was he already stepping into character, playing the “lovesick puppy” who kept trying to win her over?
