Chapter 97 Rich Hot And Infertile Husband (Or Maybe Not)

• Celeste stood up. “Dad, I thought you left.” Shawn said gently, I was about to, but I saw some fresh fruit downstairs. I didn’t know what Liam likes, so I just bought some of everything. You can peel some fruit for Liam in a bit.” Celeste nodded and took the basket from him. Ironically, when she was a kid and sick, she wanted to eat cake, but her dad never bought her one even though there was a dessert shop right across from his office. She hadn’t received the care she should have from her father, but Liam did. “Liam, how do you feel now?” Liam said indifferently. “It’s nothing serious. I can be discharged later.” “Rest well at home, and if you want anything, ask Celeste to cook it for you.” Celeste couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Why did her dad have to drag her into his attempts to please Liam? Liam glanced at her and said, “OK.” Shawn exchanged a few more pleasantries before getting up to leave. “Celeste, come with me for a moment. I need to talk to you” Celeste wondered what he wanted to say. They left the hospital room, and Shawn strode towards the rooftop. Celeste hurried after him, asking. “What do you want to talk about?” As they entered the rooftop, he finally stopped, turned to her with a dark expression, and asked, “Did you deliver the white truffle I asked you to give last time?” Celeste nodded, “Yes, I did.” As soon as her words fell, Shawn suddenly slapped her hard across the face.
• The slap was fast and vicious Celeste’s ears rang, and her face stung terribly “Skyler never received anything! Who did you give it to?” The thought of Kaylee’s humiliation made Shawn’s anger flare, “You think you’re so capable now that you can decide everything for yourself? You even have the confidence to liel Don’t forget who got you into the Reed family! Celeste’s vision went kinda fuzzy for a sec, she brushed her messy hair behind her ears, and looked up, I am not lying” “You still dare to say that! Shawn raised his hand to slap her, but this time Celeste was prepared and grabbed his wrist, “Liam’s in the hospital room, you try to touch me again, see what happens! Hearing this, Shawn really couldn’t move his hand anymore, he gritted his teeth and said, “You’ve gotten pretty tough, huh? Threatening your own father?” Celeste shook off his hand, “Do you even remember you’re my dad? You believe what others say so much, but why don’t you believe in your own daughter? I said I delivered the item, that’s it. You were humiliated by Skyler, why are you taking it out on me?” Shawn didn’t buy her explanation at all, Would she tell me she didn’t receive it if she had? Last time when I asked you to mention the City of C project to Liam, you kept putting it off. So now that you have Liam as your backer, you think the Campbell family doesn’t matter to you? Your mom’s treatment costs millions every year, do you think that money comes from the sky? I’m asking you to do these things for whose sake? If the Campbell family can’t get stronger, who in the Reed family will look up to you!” He sounded so righteous, as if all he did was for her and her mother’s sake Did he think that the Reed family would appreciate wealth and status obtained by such means? The Reed family would only look down on her even more! Tve said it. I delivered the item.
• If you don’t believe me, you don’t have to entrust me with these matters in the future. When it comes to flattery and pleasing others, I’m not as proficient as you” “You” Shawn’s anger welled up again, but at that moment, several people entered the rooftop, and he held back his words. Celeste left directly. In the hospital room Nicolas brought up Celeste’s mistaken kneeling and laughed heartily Liam frowned. “Enough” Nicolas held back his laughter and teased, “Well, at least you got to experience how it feels to have someone kneel before you. How’s it feel?” “Not bad.” Liam glanced at him, “When you die, there might not be anyone who will genuinely kneel for you.” The smile suddenly disappeared from Nicolas face. Not to mention sadness, the last time he was on an IV due to a fever and posted a photo on Instagram, several of his ex-girlfriends commented that he deserved it “Any news from the police?” Liam asked about the real issue “Ar first, they denied it, but after checking the surveillance, they all confessed. Together with the case from last night, this year is already their third crime. Those two bastards” These two were repeat offenders-their first crime took place last year. They met a drunken girl at a bar and seeing her alone, took her to a hotel and defiled her.
