Chapter 175
Well whose faut was it that he came up with the rotten idea last night?
Just then, Celeste returned
Nicolas immediately stood up and said, “Celeste, I have some matters to attend to back at my company I’ll leave first. You take care of Liam. If you need anything just contact me
Liam glanced at him, “You’re leaving empty-handed, how inappropriate. Why don’t you take the frut basket with you?
Tm not the patient, why should I eat frut
Halfway through Nicolas suddenly realized that Liam wasn’t asking him to take the fruit basket but hinting that he showed up empty-handed
Twont take the fruit basket. You keep this card, there are fifty thousand in it, which was the reward I promised you before, along with my compensation for Liam’s lost work and emotional compensation for you After all you two went with me last night and encountered such an unlucky situation
Celeste glanced at it but did not accept it. “My husband’s daily salary is much higher now. Due to the arm injury, he probably needs to rest for at least a week, right, sweetheart?”
The hidden meaning in her words was that Nicolas money was probably not enough
Liam was amused by the word ‘sweetheart and looked over. It depends on the recovery of the wound, could be as short as a week or as long as half a month
Celeste had a “See? I told you so, I didnt be to you expression.
Nicolas found his lips twitching. These two really were made for each other, even joining forces to swindle his money under these circumstances! Celeste didn’t mean to be unkind, she somewhat blamed Nicolas. If he were already at the scene, why would Liam get injured”
So, Nicolas directly wrote a check for two hundred thousand dollars for Celeste. It was my lack of consideration. You hold on to this check, and you can cash it at any bank in J City. Is that enough for your husband’s lost wages?”
Celeste accepted the check and returned the card Nicolas had given her earlier. “It’s still a little short, but since we’re friends, let’s call it even. No need to get too nitpicky; it’ll hurt our feelings”
Nicolas felt a wave of helplessness inside
Celeste thought Liam was telling her that taking two cards was too much, but then she heard him say. You should take five hundred thousand is a round number”
Celeste…
She really thought too highly of Liam, he was much more cunning than she was!
Liam calmly said. “Truthfully, the bracelet could be bought for less than two million”
Celeste quickly realized that Nicolas was the most insidious person of them all!
“Let’s forget it after all, this wealth was accidentally obtained “She handed Liam a check T take the bark card, and you can have this check”
Liam didnt take it, instead, he looked at her left cheek and frowned. “What happened to your face?”
When Celeste first came in, she was facing him with her night cheek, so he didn’t notice When she handed him the check, she turned her whole body around, and the finger marks on her left cheek became quite obvious
Celeste reached up to adjust her hair on the left side and said softly “it’s nothing”
