Chapter 151
She said it so seriously that Shawn began to doubt if he was mistaken.
After some hesitation, he whispered, “Haven’t you seen today’s hot news?”
“What hot news?” Celeste sounded clueless, “I just woke up, didn’t have time to look at anything else before I saw your call. What’s up?”
Shawn’s face darkened, “Mr. Reilly’s jade purchase made the news.
“Isn’t that normal for such expensive jewelry to be reported off the news?” Celeste didn’t understand, “What’s the problem?”
“Everyone knows about it now because of the news, how is Mr. Reilly going to return it?” Shawn frowned, ‘Can you ask Liam to talk to Mr. Francis again, see if the seller can take the bracelet back under the pretext of it having issues?”
Celeste sneered in her heart, what a shameless request! How was she supposed to explain this to Liam? Shawn didn’t care about her situation at all.
“I can’t do that. You asked me to get Mr. Francis to help with this, and I did. He agreed, and now because Mr. Reilly’s on the hot news and feels embarrassed to return the item, you want the seller to claim the bracelet is faulty and take it back? If you were selling the bracelet, would you do that? Agreeing to return the bracelet for a friend, and then ending up being accused of selling faulty products, why would Nicolas agree? I can’t even ask Liam myself.” Celeste said.
Shawn became anxious, “We’re all family, isn’t this the time to help each other? Isn’t it because of my backstage operations that you managed to marry into the Reed family? Now that you’re living the good life, don’t you care about your family?”
He had the nerve to say that!
His operations went far beyond the Reed family.
After her mother’s incident, the company was thoroughly changed by Shawn, and several key employees left. In less than two years, the company faced a
crisis.
In a hurry for funds, Shawn began to consider a marriage alliance While she hadn’t even graduated yet, Shawn began looking everywhere for a suitable partner
As long as they met his requirements, even if they had a terrible reputation or were much older than her, all that mattered to him was the benefit. For the sake of that, he was willing to throw even his own daughter away!
When he was profiting off the Reed family’s name, he never credited her for any of it. Now that there was a problem, she became ungrateful?
She suddenly felt that her expectations of Shawn were ridiculous.
“Over the years, haven’t I gone to Liam for help countless times because of the company? Was there one time that I haven’t tried my best to do what you asked? Even if it’s tough, I’ve never complained, always thinking we’re family and should help each other out. But don’t you think you should consider my situation too? Celeste took a deep breath, her voice trembling as she continued, “Liam and I almost got divorced recently”
“What?” Shawn’s voice suddenly rose. “Why? How come you guys almost split up?”
“Do you remember the last time you asked me to talk to Liam about the production line? Celeste sniffed. “I told you I didn’t tell him, but actually, I lied. I did tell him. And because of that, Liam was really mad. He thought I was meddling too much and always helping outsiders. We had a huge fight over this. and if it wasn’t for grandma’s intervention, he would’ve divorced me for real. Liam and I don’t have a strong emotional foundation, so there are things I really can’t push too far. Because I haven’t gotten pregnant, my mother-in-law isn’t very happy with me, so I can’t keep making Liam unhappy either…”
She sounded so sincere that Shawn’s expression softened a bit. Meanwhile, Liam, who was in a meeting, suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
