Chapter 12
Celeste patiently tried to negotiate. [We’ll split the property 60-40, you get 60, I get 40]
Liam replied again [Ha ha]
Celeste gritted her teeth: [How about 70-30, you get 70, I get 30. I can’t give any more than that!]
This time, Liam took a while to reply. Just as Celeste was considering offering an 80-20 split, the phone rang. Liam called het
She picked up the phone and answered.
Liam’s clear voice came through, “Come with me to Kaylee’s welcome dinner tomorrow.”
“No- Celeste said.
Before Celeste could finish, Liam’s voice came again, “I’ll help you.”
Celeste swallowed the rest of her sentence and obediently said, “Fine.”
Both sides fell silent.
This was their first calm conversation since she moved out that day, and it felt a bit strange.
Liam was actually a pretty good potential husband.
He was handsome, capable at work, and aside from his cold personality and sometimes sharp tongue, he had no bad habits. Although their family backgrounds were very different, he had always been polite to the Campbell family and never treated her harshly in their daily life. He just didn’t love her.
Compared to those wealthy playboys with scandalous lives, Liam only had a sort of ex–girlfriend. Did they really need to get a divorce?

The girl next to him called him again, “Liam?”
Liam glanced at her, put away his phone, and replied coldly, “What’s up?”
Sydney handed him a beautifully wrapped box, and shyly whispered, “I’ve been bored at home lately, so I made some snacks and wanted you to try them.”
Liam didn’t move, just looked at her, “That’s it?”
Sydney’s heart tightened, gripping the box, she whispered, “Not just that… I also wanted to ask about work.”
Liam said, “Stop worrying about stuff online, leave your Twitter account to your agent. In a few days, someone from Galaxy Games will talk to you about a contract, just cooperate with the promotion.”
Sydney’s heart leaped with joy.
Before, she had recommended herself to Nicolas several times, hoping to do a dubbing in Legend, but she was dismissed with a few words by him, which annoyed her.
She wasn’t particularly interested in game voice acting, she just wanted to make things difficult for Celestial Haze.
When Mystery Lover was popular, she was criticized for her acting not being as good as the voice actor. The headlines said her acting was only supported by the voice acting, and without the sound, it looked like a puppet show.
Netizens praised Celestial Haze to the skies, while her hard work in acting was overshadowed by the praise. She could not accept that
