Chapter 82 Rich Hot And Infertile Husband (Or Maybe Not)

• At 5 AM, Garfield had called and chewed him out, accusing him of playing tricks and threatening him that there would be hell to pay. Only then did Shawn realize how serious this was. He didn’t even have time to freshen up, and hurriedly called Celeste to ask if she had let Liam talk to Nicolas about it. In fact, no one had been picking up Celeste’s phone In the blink of an eye, over an hour had passed, and Shawn tried to find someone to delete the post. But as soon as one was deleted, a new one immediately replaced it. The trend was like a premeditated explosion, becoming harder and harder to contain Thinking about the project that might be in trouble, Shawn anxiously paced back and forth in the room. “How’s it going? Still no answer?” Helen placed the heated coffee on the table. Shawn frowned and shook his head, “No one’s picking up.” Helen glanced at the time, “She should be awake by now, right? Is she ignoring your calls on purpose?” “There’s no reason for her not to answer my calls” Shawn said. “Maybe she’s too quilty to pick up, Helen snorted, “You called her yesterday, asking her to help talk to Liam and Nicolas. And bam! Today, the news came out. Isn’t it too coincidental? A store giving back to customers, not on the day of purchase, but after two or three days? With such a big fuss, is that normal?” Shawn frowned, actually feeling a bit strange about it, but also thinking that Celeste had no reason to do so.
• He said, “You’re misunderstanding. Letti is now the only heir of the Campbell family, would the Campbell family being in trouble bring her any benefits?” Helen didn’t buy it. “Don’t forget whose daughter Celeste is. She’s as ruthless as Caitlyn. Remember how she confronted you when she saw us in the parking lot last time? If she knew what happened back then, she wouldn’t compromise for her own gain! As for being an heir, she’s now the Reed family’s eldest daughter-in-law If Liam becomes the heir of Quantum, she’ll be the lady of the Reed family. Do you really think she’d care about the Campbell family’s meager profits?” Shawn’s face turned a bit dark, as he also considered this possibility Celeste had never been close to him since she was young, and their relationship had become very tense after Caitlyn’s incident, only improving after Celeste’s marriage. In the past two years, he felt that Celeste was gradually getting out of his control. She was becoming more and more perfunctory in doing the tasks he assigned, even suspecting that she might have learned something. If this were true, would her becoming the lady of the Reed family really be a good thing for him? Just as he was thinking about it, his phone suddenly rang. It was Celeste. Shawn gestured for Helen to be quiet and answered the call. “Dad, I just woke up and saw your call.” Celeste’s voice was a little hoarse, sounding like she had just woken up, “I wanted to talk to you too.
• Mr. Francis agreed to the request you asked me about yesterday.” This sentence dispelled all Shawn’s doubts. “You mean Nicolas agreed? Shawn asked. “Yeah, Liam told me last night. He spent the whole night drinking with Mr. Francis and didn’t get home until early morning. I wanted to tell you, but it was too late, and I didn’t want to disturb your rest, so I planned to tell you this morning. I never expected you to call first. Celeste said. “Mr. Francis said, Mr. Reilly can come with the item and shopping receipt, and if the manager verifies the item is fine, they can refund the money.” She said it so seriously that Shawn began to doubt if he was mistaken. After some hesitation, he whispered, “Haven’t you seen today’s hot news?” “What hot news?” Celeste sounded clueless, “I just woke up, didn’t have time to look at anything else before I saw your call. What’s up?” Shawn’s face darkened, “Mr. Reilly’s jade purchase made the news. “Isn’t that normal for such expensive jewelry to be reported off the news?” Celeste didn’t understand, “What’s the problem?” “Everyone knows about it now because of the news, how is Mr. Reilly going to return it?” Shawn frowned, ‘Can you ask Liam to talk to Mr. Francis again, see if the seller can take the bracelet back under the pretext of it having issues?” Celeste sneered in her heart, what a shameless request! How was she supposed to explain this to Liam? Shawn didn’t care about her situation at all.
