Chapter 751
Nicolas shrugged, “I’ve been looking out for you. You used to brag about the lunches your wife made and the new clothes she bought for you. Now that you’re finally single
it wouldn’t be fair if you got her too quickly.”
like me,
Liam’s face turned ghastly pale. What kind of friend had he made?
After Celeste came back, she took a shower and changed out of her wet clothes.
After the shower, she checked on Trisha, who was sleeping, and then contacted the dining hall staff to collect the tableware the next morning since However, after trying to call for a while and no one picking up, she had to send a text message.
After drying her hair, she got ready for bed and was about to fall asleep when the doorbell suddenly rang..
Celeste thought it was the dining hall staff coming to collect the tableware, so she went to open the door.
But as soon as she opened the door, her expression froze.
Outside the door was, surprisingly, Skyler.
She wasn’t alone; at her side was a middle–aged man who looked somewhat like her, Skyler’s brother, and Liam’s uncle, Jade Barlow.
Skyler looked a bit haggard, but her makeup and attire were still neat.
There was heavy rain outside, but she wasn’t wet at all, and her hairstyle was still in place.
Celeste stared at her for a second before raising her hand to close the door.
Jade Barlow seemed to have predicted that she would do this and pushed the door open.
Celeste was hit by the door and took two steps back.
She looked cold and asked sternly, “What are you doing here?”
was raining heavily.
Skyler looked around the luxuriously decorated room with a faint smile on her lips, “This is the house Liam bought for you, isn’t it? He’s really generous to you.”
Since Liam started limiting her access to company funds, Skyler’s life had been quite difficult.
When she used to hang out with the other wives, she always had the latest jewelry and clothes. With the reputation of the Reed family, she was always a leader among the
wives.
But now, her monthly income was not enough to maintain her previous lavish lifestyle, so she rarely went to have afternoon tea with the wives anymore.
Her life was difficult, but Celeste, a divorced woman, could still live in such a mansion. How could she not be jealous?
Celeste initially wanted to say, what did this house have to do with your son? But seeing Skyler’s displeasure, her retort was instantly triggered.
“Generous… that’s not the right word. This house isn’t expensive; it’s not even as expensive as that necklace.”
Skyler was speechless.
Her face darkened, and her chest heaved as if she were about to vomit blood.
Just as Celeste was thinking that Skyler might throw a fit and start spouting stuff like “Get out of my son’s house.” Instead, she took a deep breath and said, “Since Liam gave you this house, you can consider it a small compensation from the Reed family.”
Celeste was too shocked to respond.
Was she out of her mind?
Of course, Skyler wasn’t crazy. Her main point followed, “I heard you and that actor named Leonard are in the same cast. Tell him that as long as he drops the lawsuit, we can meet any compensation he wants.”
“The mess this time is caused by you, and no matter how you look at it, you and Kaylee are relatives. As long as you help get her out, I won’t fuss about Liam giving you the house.”
Celeste was amused by her shameless attitude, “Mrs. Reed, are you pulling my leg?”
