Chapter 149
She lowered her head and hoarsely apologized, “I’m sorry, ma’am. It won’t happen again.”
Celeste skipped dinner and went to bed early.
She didn’t know when Liam returned, but when she woke up the next day, she was the only one in the bedroom, and it seemed like Liam hadn’t come back
at all
Upon asking Martha, she was told Liam had returned around 11 PM and likely spent the night in the study. He had left early the next morning.
Celeste had become quite indifferent to Liam and even wished he wouldn’t come back. She enjoyed living alone in the spacious villa and even considered getting a pet.
However, she knew that Liam was heartless and disliked animals. He might throw her pet away while she was gone, leading to a huge fight between
them.
Just after washing her face, her phone rang.
Seeing that it was Shawn, Celeste decided not to answer it and left her phone upstairs as she went downstairs to eat.
Trending topics caught her eye as she woke up in the morning.
[A mysterious woman splurged 18 million on a rare, top-quality jade bracelet; the seller rewarded her with an Hermès designer bag] [The mysterious woman was suspected to be Garfield Reilly’s daughter]
[What does a 18-million jade look like?]
[I can’t understand the world of the rich]
She wondered how much Nicolas paid to get trending topics like that. In any case, there were nearly ten hot topics on the matter.
What surprised her was that stingy Nicolas was willing to give an Hermès bag. Though it didn’t last long, as she found out online that the gifted bag was worth just around 3,000 to 4,000, nothing compared to the 30-plus million bracelet.
He was always been stingy, but he was really good at creating a vibe. Just in one night, the news of Mr. Reilly spending over 30 million on jade had spread everywhere.
Shawn must have seen the news since he called first thing in the morning.
Celeste went for a run, played with the neighbor’s dog, and only during breakfast did she take her phone to call Shawn back.
By this time, Shawn was already freaking out.
At 5 AM, Garfield had called and chewed him out, accusing him of playing tricks and threatening him that there would be hell to pay.
Only then did Shawn realize how serious this was. He didn’t even have time to freshen up, and hurriedly called Celeste to ask if she had let Liam talk to Nicolas about it.
