Chapter 253
“Mr. Fletcher was taking photos on the rooftop, and I thought he was sneakily taking pictures of me, so I snatched his phone away. This happened the first time we met! When you’re accusing me, how much respect do you have for our marriage?
Her anger had been somewhat subsided, but Liam’s words just ignited all her grievances again.
“Other people’s husbands respect and love their wives. What about you? Martha caused a scene at your company, and you were afraid of offending people and damaging your reputation among your employees, so you put the blame on me and made me the bad guy. You appeared to be the good guy who still cared about the old employees. Isn’t that a bit too much?”
Liam’s face turned gloomy. “In your heart, am I just a despicable person who pushes the blame onto women when things go wrong?”
Celeste was furious and didn’t mince her words, “Of course! You didn’t want a child, but you didn’t tell your family. Instead, you blamed me for infertility. I had to drink that disgusting medicine every day, and even contraception was considered a crime by your family. In what way are you a man, a husband?”
Liam’s face grew darker and angrier, while Owen in the front seat didn’t dare to breathe.
What was wrong with Ms. Campbell? How dare she talk to Mr. Reed like that?
He hurriedly defended Liam, “Ms. Campbell, today’s incident was my fault. I called you without Mr. Reed’s knowledge.”
Celeste sneered, “So now you can’t even admit it?”
Owen nervously said, “Ms. Campbell, I’m telling the truth, Mr. Reed really didn’t know…
Liam interrupted him, “Celeste, after more than a decade of education, is having a child the only thing on your mind? You think that once you have a child, you can secure everything you have now? If that’s your purpose, let me tell you, I’ll never have a child with you in my life!”
Celeste laughed mockingly and angrily replied, “Well, let me make it clear to you, I’d rather have a litter of puppies with a dog than have a child with you!”
Liam’s face turned livid. “You’re absolutely vulgar!”
“You’re the one who can’t tell right from wrong!” Celeste glared at him and then turned to Owen, “Pull over! I want to get off!”
“Ma’am, please calm down. Mr. Reed really didn’t know about today’s incident. And about the child..
“Stop the car! Let her get out!”
Liam cut him off angrily. He rarely used such harsh words unless he was extremely upset.
Celeste continued in resentment, “Did you hear that? He’s the one asking me to leave. It seems I need to work harder to earn those ten billion you mentioned earlier, right?”
Liam wished he could kill Celeste with his eyes!
Owen chose to remain silent and quickly pulled over
After Celeste got out of the car, she didn’t look back and disappeared into the crowd.
Liam was still furious, and Owen was awkward
He apologized in a low voice, “Mr. Reed, this was my fault. I contacted Ms. Campbell without your permission. I was worried that she wouldn’t come, so I didn’t tell her exactly what had happened over the phone.”
As a result, Celeste came to help him out of desperation, which was why she was so angry.
Liam coldly said, “You really think hiding behind a woman can solve the company’s problems? What difference does it make if she steps in? If ! compromise today, will everyone follow suit when I fire an employee in the future and make a scene at the company? If I dare to do this, I’m not afraid of being accused! After all these years with me, don’t you know me yet?”
Owen’s face turned pale, I’m sorry”
Liar closed his eyes tiredly and said nothing more.
Trisha had been away with the crew these days, and Celeste had nowhere to go. After wandering around the hospital, she returned home.
The main reason was that the hospital only had one bed, and she didn’t want to keep making Elaine sleep on the hard armchair, so she didn’t feel comfortable staying there overnight
As for her other friends, they all had their own careers, and when she got married, Skyler had cut her guest list. None of her friends were invited to her wedding except Trisha, which caused a huge rift between her and her friends.
She couldn’t bring herself to approach anyone
The idea of buying a house came up again
However, she wasn’t divorced yet and didn’t have the qualifications to buy a house in J City
Just as she was helplessly looking at those high quality properties but couldn’t make a move, Zach called and asked, “Did you cancel the Celestial Haze
account?”
“Uh, didn’t you say I can’t take on other jobs during the shooting?”
Zach’s mouth twitched, “But I didn’t tell you to cancel it ”
Celeste laughed, “I didn’t want to update that account anymore. There’s been a lot of messy stuff spreading online lately, so I thought I’d just cancel it.”
Zach was silent for a moment and said, “There were many actors who recommended themselves for your role. Among them were award-winning actors and some soon-to-be A-listers. Do you know why I chose you?”
