Chapter 504
She thought she must be seeing things, so she waited for three seconds before turning the light on again,
Then, she was left dumbfounded by the dazzling piles of cash all over the room.
The floor was covered in stacks of bills, at least a dozen centimeters thick, stretching from the doorway all the way into the living room. There was even a 3D pyramid made of gold bars on the coffee table.
She felt like she had stepped into a millionaire’s home, and if the police were to show up at that moment, she’d be scared shitless.
Liam hugged her waist from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, and whispered, “Do you like It? All of this is yours.”
Celeste had no words.
It’s not that she didn’t have integrity, but really, who could keep their cool and sanity in the face of piles of cash and gold bars? But she was just an ordinary person.
“Who’s more generous, me or Steven?”
After the initial shock, Celeste gradually regained her senses.
She recalled Liam’s text in the elevator just now. Was that to prepare for this surprise?
How did he manage to get so much money in the middle of the night?
Did he own a bank or something?
Celeste suddenly felt a headache coming on.
She thought Liam was a bit off, and things got even more serious when he was drunk.
Just because she complained about his stinginess, he brought back a whole bunch of money?
Was he trying to show off his wealth?
Seeing that she didn’t answer, Liam got a little unhappy and hugged her even tighter.
“I’m asking you, who’s more generous, me or Steven?”
Celeste had no doubt that if she said Steven was more generous, Liam would bring her even more money.
Celeste had a headache. If she had known that he would cause such a scene when drunk, she would’ve tried to mediate between them earlier.
She tried to soothe him, “You’re generous, you’re generous, okay?”
Liam finally seemed somewhat satisfied and took her hand, saying, “Call the driver to load the car, and we’ll deposit the money into your account.” Celeste quickly stopped him, ‘Let’s do it tomorrow; it’s too late now.”
If the driver caught wind of this, who knows what kind of wicked thoughts he might have? They could both end up in trouble.
Drunk Liam wasn’t thinking straight
Celeste took out her phone and called Owen.
The previously lightning–fast Owen now didn’t pick up at all.
Celeste was helpless. Owen was like a ghost, and this money was definitely sent by him on Liam’s orders.
With no way to contact Owen, Celeste didn’t know what to do.
Not to mention that Liam seemed to be holding onto her like a helpless child, even if she could get away, she was genuinely worried that a thief might break in at night and hurt Liam.
Contacting Sienna would definitely scare her, and she might even pester Celeste with questions, especially since she hadn’t even said a proper goodbye after the divorce. And it would be even worse if she contacted Skyler,
Celeste suddenly stopped. She was sure that Skyler would deposit all the money in the house into her own account and badmouth her.
Celeste would rather burn up all the money than let Skyler have the upper hand.
Liam, that bastard, really knew how to cause trouble for her!
She called the driver and told him to leave.
Celeste sat there, anxious and deep in thought about what to do with the money, while Liam kept talking nonstop.
Liam talked for a long time, growing more and more sleepy, but it seemed like he sensed that as soon as he fell asleep, Celeste would disappear
So even though he kept yawning, he held onto Celeste tightly.
