Chapter 242
Martha really wanted to bite that blabbermouth Angel right now!
She didn’t want to lose her job, but she was also not down for just any work.
Liam had already compromised, and if she kept pestering about the Campbell family stuff, even if Skyler wanted to help her, others won’t support her
anymore.
Since she didn’t want to lose her job and she’d got a practical one now, making a fuss would be just making trouble for no reason.
Martha had to force herself to swallow her anger and smile, saying, “Thanks, Mr. Reed”
Angel wanted to show her consideration and took the initiative to help Martha.
However, after Martha climbed over the railing, she pushed Angel away.
Angel wobbled and fell backward. People around her quickly dodged, afraid she’ll hit them.
Angel clumsily fell to the ground.
Celeste reached out to help, “Sis, get up, it’s cold on the ground.
Angel gritted her teeth and whispered, “Thanks, sis.”
Just as she was about to put her hand on Celeste’s, Celeste suddenly pulled back and said, “Stand up by yourself. Don’t let others laugh at you.”
Angel clenched her fists and pushed herself up from the ground.
With the problem solved, everyone went back to their posts.
Wesley strolled over to Celeste and smiled, “It’s been a while, sis-in-law. You look even more beautiful now than before.”
Celeste coldly glanced at him.
His face was similar to Liam’s, but the way he looked at her was like a snake licking her body, making her feel afraid and uneasy.
Celeste forced herself to ignore the disgust and politely thanked him before turning to find Liam.
Wesley followed her, playfully saying, “I heard people have been dressing down but still looking fabulous lately. Didn’t think it was true.” As he spoke, he glanced at Celeste’s chest and lowered his voice, “Never thought you’d be so sexy in a white shirt.”
Celeste felt creeped out by his stare and, suppressing her anger, warned him, “Wesley, your brother is here, you better keep your distance.” Wesley chuckled, “You think he cares?”
His words hit Celeste’s weak spot, and she clenched her fists, keeping silent.
Wesley’s smile grew, “I heard bro’s been getting close to a starlet lately. Such a pity he doesn’t appreciate his beautiful wife with such a great figure.”
”
As he spoke, he leaned in closer to Celeste. Just as he was about to touch her shoulder, she suddenly said, “Seems like your time away didn’t make you any better”
Wesley’s face darkened, and he clenched his fists.
The last incident was blown out of proportion, resulting in him losing some of his father’s trust and receiving punishment.
During his time away, no one treated him seriously, and all the dirty work fell on him. Having lived a privileged life, he never went through such hardships. After a few days, he’d had enough and wanted to return home for Grandma’s help. However, she was determined to teach him a lesson and took away his
cards, car, and ID
He felt helpless, unable to get any help, and blamed Liam for it all.
Celeste decided to leave
As she walked away Wesley calmly said, ‘Sis in law, have you ever wondered why you can’t get pregnant?”
Celeste stopped in her tracks and looked at him, “What do you mean?”
Wesley smiled, “Nothing much Just don’t trust the Reed family too much”
Wesley walked away without waiting for Celestes questions Liam’s voice came from behind, “What were you guys talking about just now?”
