Chapter 178 Rich Hot And Infertile Husband (Or Maybe Not)

• Seeing no one speak, Latonia said, “Shawn, if grandpa is hospitalized because of an illness, we siblings should bear the cost and take care of him. But since this happened at Celeste’s house, shouldn’t she be responsible?” Another relative also chimed in, “If not for Celeste’s negligence, grandpa wouldn’t have gotten hurt like this. Who knows what lingering effects. he’ll have.” Uncle tried to quiet her down, not wanting to argue in front of Shawn. Everyone had their own interests in mind, arguing over custody and not yielding. Celeste stood at the door, watching this farce unfold by the so–called “devoted children,” and suddenly understood why her great–grandfather never wanted to give away his savings.
• She listened at the door for a long time, waiting until everyone’s faces turned red before walking out. Upon seeing her, everyone stopped arguing. Latonia stared at her and asked, “Celeste, what did grandpa say?” Celeste coldly replied, “Nothing, he just drank some water and rested.” Latonia didn’t believe it, “Drinking water took that long? Didn’t he say anything else?” Celeste looked at her, “What else do you mean?” Latonia was left speechless, barely managing to say, “Nothing.” Out of greed for grandpa’s money, even if she was shameless, she couldn’t ask in front of the younger generation.
• Just then, a commotion arose in the distance. Celeste turned around to see Liam walking towards them. On his right was Skyler, and behind them, two burly men in suits escorted Kaylee. Shawn was momentarily stunned before quickly stepping forward to greet them, “Skyler, Liam, this is just a small matter, why did you all come?” Celeste’s expression darkened as she stared at the impatient Kaylee, clenching her fists and heading straight for her. Liam attentively observed her actions, and at the critical moment when she lunged forward, he swiftly advanced, seizing her raised wrist and deftly diverting her off to the side. Celeste’s voice trembled, “Let go of me!” Liam whispered, “I’m bringing her over to apologize to Grandpa David.” Celeste’s eyes filled with tears as she looked at him, “What’s her way to apologize? Throught the gifts?” Liam pursed his lips, “Just let her say sorry. Whatever it takes for Grandpa David to chill out, we’ll go with it. But you can’t lay a finger on her.” Once Celeste made a move, things would get even messier, and he didn’t want her involved in this.
