Chapter 583
Liam tried putting his coat on her, but she kept shaking it off, this went on for quite a while.
Wait, wasn’t Celeste supposed to be the clingy one?
It seems like it’s the other way around.
Skyler looked displeased. She didn’t expect Celeste to show her face!
She took a deep breath and called out, “Liam‘
Liam froze Celeste shook off his coat.
Of course, Celeste heard Skyler She turned her head and smiled, “Mrs Reed, long time no see”
Skyler’s face changed, but she still had a polite smile “Celeste, what brings you here?”
Celeste casually said, “Isn’t Mrs Reed the host of this birthday party? Why don’t you even know who’s on the quest list?”
Skyler replied, “I knew Sienna invited you. But given the circumstances, I thought you wouldn’t be in the mood to come. | underestimated your resilience
Looking at Skyler, Celeste said, “You’ve put it quite delicately”
“I wasn’t in the mood, but Liam kept calling me. It was so annoying. We were married once, so I came.”
Skyler glared at Liam.
He didn’t refute her words, as if admitting to what she said.
“Liam respects his grandmother. He doesn’t want to upset her on such a joyous day”
The implication was clear: Liam called you here for Sienna’s sake, not yours. Don’t flatter yourself.
Celeste said with a smile, “He does respect Sienna. He was worried I wouldn’t come, so he gave me this necklace.” She touched the red diamond on her neck.
Liam looked at her but said nothing.
Skyler was taken aback, and her face darkened.
The ladies behind her started to chatter.
They debated whether the diamond necklace was real or fake, and Celeste confirmed it.
Not only that, Liam gave it to her. Weren’t they divorced?
And Celeste seemed different after the divorce.
She used to never stand up to Skyler
But now, she’s changed. Anyone could tell she was mocking Skyler with her words.
But clearly, Skyler was losing this battle.
Skyler held back her anger, “You didn’t get anything from the divorce; it’s normal for Liam to compensate you. This necklace is nothing for the Reed family.”
Celeste tumed to Liam, “Your mom said this necklace isn’t expensive, so why don’t you give me a few more?”
Liam looked at her and said, “Okay”
Holding back her anger, Skyler said to Liam,” Kaylee and Wesley are already with Sienna; you should go too. Don’t be late and make a fool of yourself”
Liam looked at Celeste, “Let’s go together”
Celeste said casually. “You’re the grandson, I’m an outsider. You go first, Ill go when it’s my turn.”
Liam frowned
He wasn’t precisely comfortable leaving Celeste here, Skyler’s sneaky moves had blown his mind, and he was afraid she might be mistreated alone.
Celeste whispered to him, “Off you go, I’ll be waiting for you”
If Liam didn’t hightail it out of here, she wored he might tick off his mom by sticking around to protect her.
