Chapter 499
Janis chuckled beside him, “Liam knows better than you do. He and Ms. Campbell are a couple. How could he not know?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone’s expressions varied.
The younger generation all knew about Liam and Celeste’s divorce, as they were all in the same circle.
But the older generation might not be in the loop, like Hiram and Janis.
Hiram didn’t even know Celeste was Liam’s wife… ex wife.
If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have been chatting so happily with Liam for so long.
Celeste pursed her lips.
Since both elders didn’t know about her divorce, if she mentioned it now, the Garcia family elders would definitely feel awkward.
So Celeste didn’t say anything.
Celeste didn’t speak, and the Garcia siblings didn’t feel it was appropriate to bring it up either. Liam also hoped that everyone wouldn’t mention
the divorce.
After Janis finished speaking, Liam said, “I just hope that no matter what the situation, Letti will always take care of herself first.”
He knew that no matter what he said now, Celeste might not listen, but what he said at this moment was what he really wanted to say.
From the moment he knew that Celeste had climbed along the outer wall of the twelfth floor from the women’s restroom to the men’s restroom, he had felt more than once how dangerous it was
At a high altitude, several tens of meters above the surface, without any protective measures, if she had slipped, there would have been almost no chance of survival.
He would rather she be the one to stand by and watch instead of saving anyone.
Hiram didn’t catch the meaning of Liam’s words, but Janis did.
Janis smiled, “So Ms. Campbell is both brave and smart”
“Yeah,” Hiram sighed, “I’m glad she was there, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Clair, you must thank her.”
Clair said gently, “Do I need you to remind me, Dad?”
She raised her wine glass, turned to Celeste, and said, “Ms. Campbell, I should have personally come to thank you for what happened at the hotel, but after I came back that day, my health hasn’t been great, and I’ve been recuperating for a while. It wasn’t until today that I had the pleasure of having you here. I hope you don’t mind. With this glass of wine, I want to thank you for risking your life to save me at the hotel. Without you, I might not be here. My family and I have prepared a simple feast today, and I hope you enjoy it to the fullest.”
Celeste also raised her glass and smiled. “Ms. Garcia, you’re too kind. To me, it was just a minor matter. You being so formal with me makes me feel burdened. Actually, if it weren’t for Kaylee having a conflict with me that day and blocking the restroom door from the outside, I wouldn’t have been delayed for so long. In a way, I also dragged you down. I can’t say I saved you, but I made up for my mistake.”
She didn’t care whether the Garcia family was grateful to her or not. Her goal was to direct the trouble to Kaylee.
Hiram was taken aback, frowning. “You mean Kaylee blocked the door?”
Celeste lowered her head, “Kaylee wasn’t targeting Ms. Garcia, she was after me. But she didn’t know Ms. Garcia was there too, so it was
unintentional.”
Celeste’s words were sincere, but she sneered in her heart. Liam likes to clean up Kaylee’s mess, right? Well, let him do it some more.
