Chapter 71 Rich Hot And Infertile Husband (Or Maybe Not)

• Mr. Reilly doesn’t want to offend Mr. Francis or the Reed family, so she’s pinning the blame on me. Do I really have that much influence over Ms. Reilly?” At this point, a lady next to her handed Angel a tissue to comfort her. “This isn’t your fault. Who in their right mind would spend over 18 million on a bracelet?” This lady was Shawn’s secretary, Helen, who Celeste had seen with Shawn in the underground parking lot before. Now she was wearing casual clothes, eating at the spot that used to belong to Caitlyn, looking like the lady of the house. Shawn frowned and glanced at Helen, “What’s the need of talking about this now? Mr. Reilly has made it clear that he wants us to foot the bill for his daughter!” “Will we obey what he orders?” Helen sneered. “Why should others be responsible for his daughter’s matters? That company is falling apart.
• He only stands a chance now because his sister’s marriage.” Helen said. “You don’t understand the complexity of this situation. We need Garfield Reilly’s help to secure the Riverside Shire land. The bidding isn’t final yet, and if we offend him now, we might lose this project. A multi-billion dollar project is just around the corner, and we can’t let it slip away.” Shawn said. Helen looked puzzled. “Does Garfield really want to let go of such a big project?” Shawn scoffed, “Of course not, but he can’t handle it. His brother-in-law happens to be in charge of the project, and although he wants it, it’s not legally allowed.” For this project, Shawn had already given Garfield gifts worth over 10 million.
• But the guy was still not satisfied! Helen frowned. “So what do we do? Over 30 million is not a small number. Are we really going to pay for her?” Shawn obviously didn’t want to spend the extra 30 million for no reason. He picked up the phone and said, “I’ll make a call to see if Mr. Reed can help.” Helen forced a smile but didn’t say anything else. As soon as Celeste got in the car, her phone rang. Seeing it was Shawn, she didn’t want to answer. Shawn usually didn’t have any good news when he called her. However, Shawn wasn’t going to give up easily. If she didn’t pick up, he would just keep calling. Celeste had no choice but to answer. “Hello, Dad.” “Letti, what’s going on? Why did it take you so long to answer?” Shawn asked. Celeste replied, “I was in the bathroom just now, it wasn’t convenient to answer. What’s up, Dad?” “Nothing much, are you with Liam?” Shawn asked. “He’s at work. If you need to talk to him, please call his office: Celeste said. “I’m not looking for him, just have a question for you.” Shawn said.
