Indeed, Violette didn’t have any affluent friends. Besides Trisha, she only maintained contact with two college roommates, both from modest backgrounds. They wouldn’t be capable of lending her 50,000, let alone 5 million.
She looked at Liam’s expression, which read “Who else could you borrow from?“, and felt very annoyed.
Angrily, she said, “Then I’ll go to Mr. Francis or Mr. Fletcher, give them more interest. It’s better than being sucked dry by you, you vampire!”
Liam suddenly stiffened, his eyes widening dangerously. “You dare!*
“Just watch me!”
She pretended to take out her phone and dial a number. Liam, with a gloomy face, tried to grab her phone.
In the struggle, Celeste hit the side of the bed, her body swaying. Instinctively, she grabbed Liam’s collar, and he lost his balance. Both of them fell
onto the bed.
At that moment, Grandma returned to her room with Skyler and saw this scene: Celeste, blushing, lying on the bed, with Liam, wide–eyed, on top
of her.
Before Grandma could speak, Skyler scolded them: “What are you two doing?”
Celeste was startled and hurriedly pushed Liam away, standing up and adjusting her clothes, embarrassed. “Grandma, Mom.”
Liam showed no emotion, slowly stood up, adjusted his tie, and didn’t say a word.
With her birthday party preparations snatched away, Skyler was in a bad mood. Seeing Celeste still messing around with Liam, she was even
more furious.
“Celeste, you’ve been married for a few years now, and you still don’t know how to behave? What kind of place is this for you to fool around? Is this how your parents raised you?”
Celeste pursed her lips, her face looking a bit ugly.
Liam frowned. “It’s not a big deal.”
Skyler’s face darkened. “Liam, what do you mean by that? Can’t I criticize her now?”
Before Liam could answer, Grandma said, “Liam is right. There’s only the few of us here. So it’s not a big deal.” She then scolded the two, “But you two really went too far. Liam’s room is just next door. What’s the big deal with walking a few more steps?”
Liam and Celeste had nothing to say.
Was Grandma not angry and even seemed a little excited?
As the two were trying to figure it out, Grandma collected herself and calmly said, “Celeste, planning a birthday party is indeed hard work. You’ll have to work hard in the coming days.”
Celeste bowed her head and said, “I will, Grandma.”
“Alright, you two go ahead”
As they left, they passed by Skyler, who glared at Celeste with resentment.
Celeste sighed inwardly, recognizing that their relationship would never regain its peace and harmony.
Liam had to meet a client that night, so he and Celeste left early.
Not long after Liam left, their uncle’s family also left. Kaylee waited for nearly an hour before Skyler finally came downstairs.
Once they got in the car, Kaylee said, ‘Mom, is grandma getting a bit senile? Why did she let that woman handle the birthday banquet? Does she even know how much it costs? Leaving it to a stranger, has grandma gone crazy?”
Skyler kept a straight face and took a while to reply, “it’s better than letting Valeria handle it.”
“At least Valeria is part of our family, even though she doesn’t get along well with you. But my uncle is pretty nice to me, and at least it’d be someone from the Reed family organizing it. What’s the deal with letting Celeste do it?”
Skyler suddenly stopped and looked stem, “How many times have I told you to stay away from your uncle’s family? Do you take my words as just empty talk?”
