Chapter 109 Rich Hot And Infertile Husband (Or Maybe Not)

• At that time, Shawn was sending her out, saying that the company’s secretary was delivering documents. She remembered this woman well because her eyes made her feel somewhat uncomfortable. The woman felt Celeste’s gaze and naturally let go of Shawn’s hand, saying with a smile, I’m just temporarily acting as Mr. Campbell’s female companion.” Celeste couldn’t be bothered with what was going on between them. As long as Shawn didn’t bring anyone home, he could do whatever he wanted. However, she really couldn’t stand the way this woman spoke. Even just now when she explained herself, she did it with an air of superiority. Speaking with an icy tone, she said. “I’m talking to my dad. What’s it to you?” Helen’s face tightened, and Shawn quickly jumped in, “How can you talk to an elder like that?” “Dad, just because she’s your secretary doesn’t mean she’s my elder, right? If you need a female companion, just let me know. I do know some divorced or widowed ladies who’d be more than happy to help out. It doesn’t look too good if you’re dating your secretary, right?” Angel frowned and said, “Sis, that’s going too far. Dad’s relied on her help with work for all these years, and we, as daughters, haven’t even expressed any gratitude. How can you talk like that?” Celeste laughed softly and looked at Shawn, “When mom had her accident back then, I worried that you wouldn’t be able to handle the company on your own. But it turned out the company was doing just fine.
• So it was Helen who was helping out, huh? This is my bad, I apologize for that.” Helen, who was already flushed with anger, now felt her face burning red with embarrassment. Shawn’s macho attitude used to cause a lot of arguments with Caitlyn. People often said he was lucky to have married such a good wife, or else he wouldn’t have achieved so much. After Caitlyn’s accident, he hurried to take control of the company, wanting to prove to everyone that he could still succeed even without her. What he hated most was people saying he relied on a woman. Celeste just played on this point, shifting the disaster onto Helen. Shawn’s face darkened as he coldly said, “What help? She’s just a female companion for the party” Helen, looking pale but with excellent restraint, bowed her head and said, “I shouldn’t have done that.” Angel wanted to say something but saw Helen’s gesture, and ended up just biting her lip in silence. A nearby salesperson gently asked, “Miss, would you like this bracelet?” Angel calmed down and glanced at the distance, suddenly having an idea. She lowered her head, looking shy and hesitant. “It’s too expensive. I’ll look for something else.” Just as Celeste was about to speak, a sarcastic male voice rang out, “Let your sister buy it for you.
• The money is nothing for the Reed family. Back in the day, she always gave you whatever she didn’t want, and now that she’s married into a wealthy family, she’s got to take care of her little sister, right?” Celeste looked up and saw a young man in a suit, about her age, with a clean-cut, star-like appearance. His name was Jarvis, and he was Celeste’s high school classmate Her eyes involuntarily darkened at the sight of him, as he brought back some unpleasant memories. Angel looked nervous. Glancing at Celeste fearfully, she stammered, “Jarvis, don’t say that. My sister has been good to me.” Jarvis scoffed, “Good to you by giving you her trash like charity? Taking you in has earned her quite a reputation, so she ought to treat you well, right? But how does she actually treat you?” Jarvis’s family was quite powerful in J City, and as soon as he spoke, others began chiming in. That adopted girl from the Campbell family is Angelica, the internet celebrity, right?” “Yeah, that’s her. No wonder she looked so familiar. So Celeste is the sister who’s always been giving her a hard time?” “Exactly. When the Campbell family adopted Angel, they made headlines and earned a lot of money.
