Chapter 1169
lete took a t
mango juice and placed it on the table
Jarred swirled his red wine around and suddenly asked. “Remember that thanksgiving party in high school? I had someone tell you I’d be waiting for you at our usual spot Why didn’t you show
Liam gripped his wine glass, shooting Celeste a cold glance
Celeste was lost for words
like walking into a trap
No particular reason I just didn’t feel like going. I thought we’d cleared everything No need to beat a dead horse,” she said.
Jarred looked down 1 waited for you all night that day
Before Celeste could respond. Liam cut in. “You should’ve known this could happen when you decided to wait. Whom are you blaming now?”
Playing the victim card, typical of her ex, he thought
“Mr. Reed, this is a private matter between Celeste and me.”
His words implied, Butt out, you’re not involved
Liam seemed to ignore his hint, “Didn’t Li
might cause her scandal
| you she had signed
company? I not only have a say in her affairs but also in dealing with anyone who
Jarred frowned. “Hasn’t she signed with Skyline Media Group? When did Skyline become your company?”
Liam gave him a casual glance, “One of the perks of a big company. Mr Wilson, is its wide range of operations. You ever consider I might have a stake in your cinema too?
His words implied, I’m filthy rich
Celeste couldn’t help but laugh
Liam was hot one to flaunt his wealth. That was usually her job
Born into a noble family, Liam was like a native Roman, with a broader perspective than most. He didn’t hesitate to splash the cash on her
He never cared for materialistic comparisons, and his focus was always on capability and effort
This was the first time Celeste had seen him flaunt his wealth in front of others, and out of jealousy no less.
She knew Liam was on a mission today Otherwise, he would’ve made his stance clear No need to show off his wealth
His patience was to ensure her plan went smoothly
A man who could distinguish night from wrong on major issues, who wouldn’t be attracted to him.
Jarred seemed a bit stunned by Liam’s words Regaining his composure, he chuckled. “It’s just a normal interaction between friends, Mr. Reed, no need to be so uptight
Liam gave him a look but didn’t respond
Jarred turned to Celeste. “There’s a reunion in a couple of days Want to come?”
Celeste responded flatly. “Sorry, I’m booked ”
Jared chuckled, seemingly a bit annoyed
As he was about to leave, he turned to Celeste, Tl be in J City from now on. Don’t you think it’s time to fulfill your promise?”
Celeste was confused
Liam didn’t know how to react.
Seeing their expressions, Jarred felt quite pleased. Leaving a vague Tll be waiting behind, he left the wedding venue. He only came to show his face. With the ceremony over there was no need to stick around.
