Chapter 201
“Since you were so popular, didn’t you ever think about dating?”
Celeste replied without looking up, “I already had someone I liked at the time, so why waste other people’s time?”
Liam paused for a moment.
“Let’s settle for this one.” Celeste stood up, “What do you think?”
Liam looked down and said, “It shows your taste, no doubt.”
Celeste laughed, but just as she was about to say something, she heard him casually say the second half of the sentence: “As always, it’s unbearable to
look at.”
Celeste’s smile froze on her face, and she unhappily took off the cufflinks and handed them back to the salesperson.
Liam thought she would pick another pair, but she just strolled away to look at diamonds instead.
Liam followed her and couldn’t help asking. “Didn’t you say you were going to pick cufflinks for me?”
Celeste finally found an opportunity to mock him, “My taste is not good enough for Mr. Reed, so let’s just forget it.”
Liam’s eyes twitched. This woman’s temper has really been growing lately!
He reluctantly said, “I can bear to wear it if it’s a gift from you.”
Humph, he’s really taking advantage of her.
Celeste deliberately looked disdainful, “So you’ll be tolerating it and doing me a favor every time you wear them? I really can’t let that happen.”
“Indeed I might, but… Liam hesitated for a moment, glanced at the row of diamonds next to him, and smiled, “Buy an expensive diamond one then, so you won’t feel guilty.”
Celeste: “…”
Not far away, Angel gloomily looked in Celeste’s direction.
She originally wanted Celeste to make a fool of herself, but instead, she ended up being the one embarrassed. Those who had been chatting warmly with her before were now completely avoiding her.
Shawn said in her ear, “Pull yourself together. How much longer do you want to embarrass yourself for?”
Angel clenched her fists, her lips trembling with anger.
Helen frowned, “She’s already very wronged, and you’re still scolding her?”
Shawn glanced at her unhappily, “How many times have I told her not to have a direct conflict with Celeste? When has she ever listened? I’ve told her a hundred times to keep a low profile when picking up the car, but she still made a big scene!*
Helen looked unhappy. “How can you blame Angel? If it wasn’t for Celeste causing Mr. Reilly to lose 30 million dollars, would we be in this mess right now? Would you need to be insulted by Kaylee? Angel was just trying to stand up for you. Who knew Liam would come? And just now with the bracelet, it’s obvious that she and Liam did it on purpose! Can’t you see that?”
Of course, Shawn understood.
It’s just that he had to give away that bracelet under the pressure. He naturally had his own worries.
Liam didn’t say much just now, but the way he stood there, it was obvious that he was on Celeste’s side. Plus, Mr. Campbell’s investment in Smart Chips was going super well, so maybe it was all because Liar’d been looking out for Celeste after all.
That Celeste mattered to Liam was an advantage for him. What was a bracelet compared to that?
He said in a deep voice, “Stand up for me? You think I don’t know what she’s thinking? It’s all because you spoil her, encouraging her to steal the spotlight. Don’t bring it up again.”
With that, he turned and left.
Angel looked almost sick.
Helen glanced at her and sighed, “Forget it. It’s nothing I fear you’re so impatient that you’ll always be under her thumb in this lifetime.”
