Chapter 28
Whatever! She had to ask for a favor, so she would bear it.
Celeste smiled sincerely and said, “I haven’t done this in a long time, so my skills are rusty. I’ll be more careful next time.”
Liam’s expression improved a bit.
Seizing the opportunity, Celeste said, “Mr. Reed, picking a good day for divorce is just as important as picking one for marriage. When we got married, we didn’t choose the right day, and our marriage didn’t go smoothly. So, for our divorce, we should choose a good day so that we both can move on and find our own happiness. According to my research, the 21st, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, and 31st of this month are all good days. Which one do you think is more suitable?”
Liam sneered, “Except for weekends, all these days are good days?”
Her little tricks seemed so insignificant in front of Liam.
Celeste shamelessly said, “Indeed, there are many good days this month.”
Liam didn’t respond.
Not getting an answer, Celeste continued to ask, “Mr. Reed, which day do you think is suitable?”
Finally, Liam got fed up with her nagging, his face darkened, and he said, “One more word, and you can deliver the stuff yourself.” Celeste’s gentle demeanor finally disappeared, and she said imitably, “Liam, these are two different things! I’ve done everything ! promised. You have no right to go back on your word!”
Seeing her true temper revealed, Liam’s brows relaxed a bit. He tapped the lunchbox next to him with a spoon and said, “Celeste, you want a divorce and yet keep your relationship with the Reed family hidden from Shawn. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.” Celeste was speechless. She hadn’t planned to let Shawn know about the divorce.
Before Caitlyn’s accident, Shawn and Caitlyn’s marriage had already encountered problems, and not long after that, he considered
divorce.
But at that time, some important positions in the company’s management were all cultivated by Caitlyn, and she still held nearly half of the company’s shares. If they divorced then, it would have caused chaos in the company. Persuaded by his lawyer, Shawn gave up the idea of divorce.
Three years after Caitlyn’s accident, Shawn gradually took back the shares and restructured the company’s management, replacing them with his people. When he considered divorce again, she was unfortunately chosen by Liam.
When the Reed family proposed marriage, Shawn was both shocked and delighted. After all, marrying into the top family in J City would undoubtedly add to his status in the business world Naturally, Shawn agreed to the marriage without hesitation.
To make Celeste willing to marry into the Reed family and help him in business, Shawn promised not to divorce Caitlyn for ten years. After ten years, if Caitlyn still hadn’t woken up, their marriage would be dissolved, and he would cash out Caitlyn’s shares, ensuring her medical expenses for the rest of her life.
