Chapter 171
Skyler said softly, “It’s okay.”
“Did you try the white truffle I asked Celeste to give you some time back? How was it?”
Skyler frowned. “White truffle? I didn’t see it.”
Shawn was stunned. “That’s impossible. I handed it to Celeste personally How could you have not seen it?”
“What are you implying?” Kaylee raised her voice. “Are you saying my mom took your stuff and won’t admit it? What good stuff hasn’t she seen? Does The Reed Family need your little gifts? Don’t think marrying Celeset into The Reed Family means The Campbell Family can climb up the social ladder. She doesn’t count for much in our family!”
Shawn’s face darkened, and Skyler waited for Kaylee to finish before saying softly, “Kaylee, how can you speak to your elder like that?”
Kaylee snorted and completely ignored him.
Shawn, a middle-aged man in his fifties, felt a bit embarrassed being scolded by a young girl.
Skyler said. “My daughter’s temper is not good, Mr. Campbell. Please don’t mind her”
Shawn forced a smile “No, how could I possibly take offense at a younger generation?”
“In fact, you don’t need to focus your attention on me. Liam knows what to do about the company’s affairs, and I don’t have a position in the company so I can’t help much.”
With that sentence, she cut off any further comment from Shawn.
Shawn laughed and said, “You misunderstand. I didn’t mean that. Celeste relies on you in The Reed Family, and my giving you gifts is just my personal sentiment as a father, hoping your relationship will be harmonious”
Skyler glanced at him “As long as shes good to The Reed Family, I’ll treat her well. I just hope she understands that.”
These words were full of meaning, and Shawn’s face darkened.
In the coffee room, a uniformed police officer was getting water, so Celeste had to wait nearby.
The officer finished, looked back at her, nodded, and left with his cup.
Celeste was a bit confused but then saw a WhatsApp message from Trisha.
We’ve picked ten lottery numbers, let’s hope we hit the jackpot!
The next message showed two lottery tickets with their chosen numbers
Celeste sent a “pray for wealth” emoji, put away her phone, and went to the nursing station to ask about Liam’s condition.
The nurse on duty happened to be in charge of Liam and explained his situation in detail.
“The wound is quite deep, but luckily, he can be discharged in the afternoon. He just needs to rest at home, and in about ten days, the stitches can be removed Once the wound scabs over it’ll be fine Just make sure the wound doesnt get wet during that time.”
Celeste was still a little worried. He lost so much blood, can he really go straight home?”
“Actually he didn’t lose that much blood”
As they were talking another nurse walked in and said. “The patient in bed 32 woke up, and the police have already taken him away. Can you get someone to clean up the room? I’m off work now”
“Already? That guy in bed 22 wasnt doing too well. What did he do to make the police take him away so quickly?”
