Chapter 209
Mason frowned and pushed Kaylee’s hand away, “Mom, don’t joke around. Kaylee is much younger than me. She’s like my sister.”
Kaylee anxiously said, “But I’m not really your sister…”
“Kaylee!”
Skyler scolded, “Go and help your grandma”
Kaylee was reluctant to let go at first, but seeing Skyler’s serious face, she had to grit her teeth, let go, and leave.
After Kaylee had left, Skyler sighed, “She never grows up.”
The beautiful woman was Mason’s mother. Celeste had met her a few times. Although she looked a bit chubby, she was very elegant, and her eyes revealed her youthful charm.
Shanna Fletcher and Skyler were close, which was why Kaylee was considered her goddaughter.
It was clear that both women wanted this marriage to happen, but Mason seemed unwilling
Skyler could see that, and naturally didn’t want her daughter to appear cheap and clingy, so she sent Kaylee away after Mason’s words.
Between the two children, Celeste always felt that Skyler was more intimate with Kaylee, while with Liam she had always kept a polite distance. “Kids, don’t always be so demanding.” Shanna Fletcher said softly, then cast a gentle look on Liam, “I really envy you, Skyler, for having both a son and a daughter.”
Skyler said, “So what? Neither of them listens to me when it comes to important matters.”
Shanna Fletcher of course understood what she was suggesting – Skyler was not very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
But Shanna Fletcher didn’t respond. It was someone else’s family affair, and it wasn’t her place to interfere. She just smiled and said, “Let the younger generation handle their own affairs. We can’t always control them.”
Celeste kept her head down, already used to Skyler’s veiled barbs.
The two women were chatting when Mrs. Meyer, Mason’s aunt Krista, and the organizer of the private jewelry show, came over surrounded by a group of ladies.
Krista looked radiant and dazzling in her white gown. She seemed younger and more energetic than her peers, probably because she had married a younger man,
She was holding hands with a young man who appeared to be in his thirties. He was tall and thin with a handsome face. This must be Krista’s husband. “Why are you guys just standing here? Aren’t you gonna check out the stuff you like?”
Skyler said, “We’re just waiting for that big surprise you mentioned. When’s it gonna happen?”
Big surprise? Wasn’t that Luminous Pearl already a big enough surprise?
Krista chuckled, “What kind of rare stuff haven’t you seen in this world?”
“A gem infused with good luck by the most powerful fortune teller? I haven’t seen that one.”
Although Celeste hadn’t met this fortune teller, she had heard a lot about him. Most of the rumors were about his extraordinary abilities.
And this fortune teller was quite a character. It was said that he rarely showed up, and even if you were rich and powerful, he wouldn’t appear unless he wanted to. As a result, it was near impossible to get him to charge a gem with energy.
Despite this, the entrance to the fortune teller’s house was always bustling, thanks to the contributions of rich ladies.
So when these ladies heard about a gern infused with good luck by this fortune teller, they were naturally very interested.
Krista smiled and said, “Indeed, the fortune teller did infuse the gem, but it’s not mine. It belongs to a friend of mine. The fortune teller said that my friend’s temperament isn’t strong enough to control the gem, so if she insisted on wearing it, the gem’s energy could backfire. So, it was left with me to
sell”
