Chapter 1286
Liam lightly traced something on the palm of her hand.
Celeste turned to look at him, but Liam remained expressionless. The finger he had been using to draw on her palm then lightly pinched it.
Celeste chuckled a bit under her breath.
Steven lightly patted her, “We’ve been here for a while. It was a long drive, so we all went upstairs for a bit to rest”
Clair glanced at everyone, politely saying, “Mr. Francis, Ms. Colton, thank you for coming to my birthday party”
When her gaze landed on Liam, Clair hesitated for a moment, then softly said, ‘Liam, thank you so much for coming! After Clair said this, Liam could feel his girlfriend’s piercing gaze.
He was surprised Why was he the only one being thanked separately?
He casually said, “Really, there’s no need. I didn’t bring any fancy gifts.”
He thought he should clear that up to avoid any misunderstanding with Celeste, so he emphasized the word “fancy
Clair chuckled, “Even though the gift isn’t fancy, the sentiment behind it is.
Liam was at a loss for words.
After talking to Liam, Clair finally looked at Celeste Her smile slightly faded as she politely said, “Ms. Campbell, long time no see! Steven frowned, “Clair, just call her by her first name from now on. She’ll be changing her last name back, so don’t get it wrong.” Steven was fed up with the last name “Campbell“; even if Celeste had the same last name as Caitlyn, he wouldn’t be this annoyed. Clair quickly apologized, Im sorry, I just thought it wasn’t official yet. I didn’t want to cause any trouble by calling her the wrong name.” Celeste looked at her for a moment, nonchalantly saying, “It’s no big deal, it’s just a name. Call me whatever you like.
Trisha muttered under her breath, “Fake Angela…
Her voice wasn’t loud, but the others were close enough to hear it. Clair obviously heard it too
Her eyes darkened a bit. “What did Ms. Colton just say?”
Trisha fell silent
She was really looking for trouble, huh? She actually asked that out loud, did she not hear clearly?
Trisha was about to repeat it. Her fiery temper was flaring up, but Nicolas cut her off before she could say anything.
“She was saying wow! This estate has a four–hundred–year history. She was just expressing her surprise”
He then pulled Trisha close, “Babe, you’re too easily impressed. I’ll take you to see a historical site that’s fifteen hundred years old, even more spectacular
than this.”
Everyone knew this was a lie
The small incident was brushed off, and Clair led everyone towards the crowd of guests.
Trisha slapped away Nicolas’s arm around her waist. You shouldn’t have stopped me! I was about to give her a piece of my mind!”
Who does she think she is? Everyone knows Letti’s real identity Doesn’t she know who the real heiress of the Garcia family is? She is just a poser, trying to put on airs
Nicolas also understood what Clair meant with that Ms Campbell, but he still comforted Trisha, “We can deal with this later, it’s her birthday today, it wouldn’t look good if we caused a scene. Celeste hasn’t officially returned to the Garcia family yet, if you start this now, everyone will blame Celeste and say that she’s petty and has bad manners. How would you help her explain that?”
Trisha thought about it and decided that he had a point, but she was still angry. “I told you she was a hypocrite, but you didn’t believe me!”
Nicolas comforted her, “I believe you I believe you. You’re my boss, I believe whatever you say, but we need to keep our cool in public, otherwise, you li embarrass your good friend”
Trisha nodded, “Fine, I’ll listen to you this time.”
