My Rich Hot and Infertile or Maybe Not Husband

Chapter 137

Celeste forced a smile, so he knew. She said, “What difference would it make? Even if I told you, would you really abandon Ms. Denton?”

Liam fell silent.

Celeste felt extremely disappointed; he didn’t even bother lying to her.

That’s great,” Celeste laughed, “It just proves that my decision is correct.”

Liam looked at her, puzzled. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Celeste took her wallet out of her bag and said calmly, “But I’m not as heartless as you. You got hurt because of me, but you provoked me first. I’ll cover the medical expenses, and if you think it’s not enough, there’s nothing I can do. We’re not divorced yet, this is all I can do.”

As she spoke, she handed Liam a signed check. He glanced at it, and it read twenty thousand dollars.

Liam’s face turned ugly, and he tore the check into pieces, ‘Enough, Celeste!”

Celeste glanced at the pieces on the floor and said calmly, “I’ll take that as you accepted it. As for the divorce, please get it on your agenda soon. I can’t keep covering for you with the ‘unable to get pregnant excuse for much longer.”

After leaving the hospital, Celeste’s shoulders drooped, looking exhausted.

Everything was a mess, as nothing went according to her wishes.

She knew she was taking her anger out on Liam, but she couldn’t stand Skyler’s attitude anymore.

She looked down at the thin scratch on the back of her hand, caused by Skyler’s ring when she pushed her away.

Skyler’s dissatisfaction with her had been building up for a long time. Although she usually hid it well, it was clear from her eyes that she didn’t like her.

Neither her as a person nor her background met Skyler’s expectations.

And with no children after years of marriage, this dissatisfaction had reached its peak. Liam’s defense of her only deepened the conflict.

She wondered if all mothers-in-law disliked their sons being too close to their wives. Or was it that widows like Skyler, who lost their husbands at a young age, were particularly possessive of their sons?

Although she and Liam didn’t have a great marital relationship, she could always feel Skyler’s growing dislike for her whenever he stood up for her.

Like that remark just now, how could it hurt so deep if it wasn’t intentional?

Even Liam couldn’t be blamed entirely, he was indeed the root cause!

The Campbell family

Shawn’s family was having dinner when a phone on the table rang.

Shawn answered the call, smiling, “Mr. Reilly, what brings you to call me at this time? Have you had dinner?”

“Dinner? Shawn, you’ve raised quite a daughter! She’s scheming against our family, and you still have the nerve to ask?!” Mr. Reilly said.

Shawn’s smile faded, and he said solemnly. “Mr. Reilly, what do you mean by that? What did my daughter do wrong?”

“Are you playing dumb?” Mr. Reilly was furious, “My daughter is usually well-behaved and sensible. Yesterday, she went out with your daughter, Angel, and ended up spending over 30 million on a crappy bracelet, using the company’s money! When I asked her what happened, she said that your daughter wanted her to help get back at someone? She agreed out of kindness, but now we can’t return it! There are over a hundred employees in our company who need to support their families. I really want to know, just how big of a grudge does your family have to blow 18 million to settle it? Does this make any sense?”

Sitting across from him, Angel tightly gripped her fork.

Damn Adriana! She got herself into trouble and then pushed the blame onto her, utterly shameless!
