Chapter 1168
Liam said indifferently. “The best way to take revenge is not to kill with one blow but to torment mentally, time after time.”
Celeste completely agreed with this view because that’s exactly what she did.
But she still said, “You’re really dark–minded. If we’ve been together for a while and I decide you’re not good enough and want to break up, you won’t hold a grudge and do the same to me, right?*
Liam glanced at her, “I won’t do that to you.”
Just as Celeste was about to praise him, she heard Liam slowly say, “At most, I’ll tie you to the bed and bully you every day.”
Celeste was lost for words.
“Don’t you feel guilty doing this?”
Liam chuckled, leaned in close to her ear, and whispered, “Don’t you enjoy watching captivity videos? I’ll let you experience it firsthand
Celeste fell silent
She definitely needed to change her computer password and lock it!
After the argument, Celeste asked about the matter, “Is the man you found the real Bart or a fake Bart?”
Liam countered. “What do you think?”
Celeste said, “Definitely a fake”
If a person who had been lost for over thirty years could be found so easily, those parents who had lost their children wouldn’t need to spend more than twenty years looking for them.
If the police couldn’t do it, Liam certainly couldn’t.
لي
“Can you trust the man you found?”
Liam slowly said, “As long as there’s money, you can trust
Celeste gave a thumbs–up, “Mr. Reed, you’re really generous.”
Celeste thought for a moment and then asked, “Has his training been sufficient? He won’t say anything wrong, right?”
Liam said, “Owen found people from their old hometown and thoroughly investigated Bart’s characteristics, how he disappeared, and some things from his
childhood. He has all the details”
Even if he didn’t have all the details, it wouldn’t matter because seeing the “real” Bart would scare Helen to death, so how would she care if he was real or fak
“What if Helen and him do a paternity test?”
Liam countered, “Do you think she dares?”
Celeste put herself in Helen’s shoes and thought about it, and indeed she wouldn’t dare
It was not the fake that was scary, it was the real one. As long as she didn’t check, she could always deny he was real
Liam was really clever, how come she didn’t think of it!
Just as she was about to say something else a glass of mango juice was handed to her from the side
Celeste took it and said, “Thank you”
As she was about to drink it, Jarred’s voice came from the side, “You’re welcome.”
Celeste fell silent.
The mango juice that she was about to drink made her unsure whether to swallow it or spit it out.
Jarred handed a glass to Liam, “Mr. Reed, would you like some?”
Liam looked cold.
Celeste said, “He’s allergic to mangoes”
Jarred stopped and apologized quietly, then he swapped it for a glass of wine and handed it over, “Red wine should be fine.”
Liam glanced at it but didn’t take it.
Celeste was very nervous and was about to make an excuse for Liam, but she heard Jarred say, “Is Mr. Reed not good at social drinking?”
Liam was a bit embarrassed, answering in a deep voice, “I just don’t really like drinking, that’s all
Jarred chuckled, “That’s a shame,” he whispered to Celeste, “You once told me you liked guys who could hold their liquor. I thought you’d go for someone who could match you drink–for drink”
Celeste was about to respond, but before she could do it, Liam snatched the glass of red wine and downed it in one go.
This guy Jarred! Still loved to provoke as he used to
And Liam, he’s so easily rled up.
Celeste scowled and said, “Whom I choose is my business. What’s it to you?”
Jarred wasn’t offended. He responded with a smile, ‘As old friends, we’re just catching up. No need to get your knickers in abiriat.”
