Chapter 806
“No,” Celeste saved the recording and looked up. “Shawn probably thinks I’m getting back together with Liam, which is why he’s so eager to spout this nonsense about adopting me.”
Shawn’s been in a mess lately, seems like there’s a problem with the company. He was on a call at home and Rhea overheard some of it and told her
These past years, with the backing of Quantum, Shawn’s been raking in the dough Betting on his relationship with the Reed family to make money, he didn’t focus on product innovation or expanding the client base who really valued the product. Once she and Liam divorced and the relationship chain broke, Shawn couldn’t keep those clients The company’s downturn was inevitable.
But, the Campbell family’s company has a long history, and Shawn should have accumulated quite a bit of wealth. Them’s no need for him to be like this just because of a crisis. There must be something else forcing him to msort to such tactics
Not understanding Celeste decided not to think about it.
With this recording, she wondered if she could get back her mother’s house
She thought about consulting Mason via text, and when she was halfway through typing, she paused and deleted everything
Asking Mr Fletcher would be more convenient, but if Liam found out there would probably be a fuss
She looked up and asked “Trisha, does that lawyer friend of yours know anything about inheritance disputes?”
Trisha said. “He does all kinds of cases, but why don’t you just ask Mr. Fletcher? He’s much more professional
“We can’t always bother him. Give me your lawyer friend’s contact‘
While scrolling through her phone, Trisha said, “You’re afraid of upsetting Liam, aren’t you? You’re too kind to him! The two of you split up because he didn’t explain things with Sydney, which made you suffer for so many years. Now that he’s chasing you, you should let him experience that heart–wrenching feeling!”
While adding her friend, Celeste said, “We can’t take advantage of Mr. Fletcher, that’s deceiving people’s feelings, isn’t it?”
Trisha huffed. “Maybe Mr Fletcher is like you, not afraid of being fooled emotionally”
“Huh?”
Celeste didn’t understand
Trisha said, “Aren’t you the type who doesn’t mind being fooled emotionally, but can’t stand being fooled financially?”
Celeste…
The Garcia family
Steven stared at the Na in front of him, not taking his eyes off it for a moment.
“Liam, are you watching from there?”
Steven’s voice came from Liam’s phone. Liam kept his poker face and continued reading the documents.
Steven got up and said to the guy behind him, “Tear it apart, mate. I need to see if there’s any spy gear stuffed in there.”
“Tear tear it apart?
The guy thought he heard wrong. He was just marveling at this high–tech robot Quantum had cooked up, and then the next second he’s told to rip it apart. He thought he was hearing things.
Steven sat casually on one side. “Yeah, tear it apart. You’re from the research center, right? Isn’t this what you do? Taking apart a robot shouldn’t be a biggie for you.”
The guy swallowed, “Mr. Garcia, it’s not about it being hard or not. I just think it’s not right. We’re talking patents here, I’m worried if Quantum catches wind of this, they’ll just find some excuse to come after you”
“Just do it,” Steven said, his face unchanged “If shit hits the fan, I’ll take the heat.”
