Those clients were all companies related to the Reed family. He couldn’t help but wonder if Liam knew something and did this on purpose. Anyway, he had just defended Angel. No matter how cold Liam was to Celeste, he wouldn’t just stand by idly and watch her suffer. Shawn was annoyed. He should’ve realized it sooner. With Liam injured, how could Celeste come to the jewelry exhibition all by herself? Thinking about this, he immediately changed his tone, “Mr. Francis, you’ve misunderstood. Of course I love Celeste, my only biological daughter. It’s just that Angel is adopted, and I feel sorry for her being all alone, so sometimes I can’t help but take more care of her. Mr. Francis, you haven’t built a family yet, and you naturally don’t understand the difficulty of being a father”
Nicolas smiled and abruptly said, “I heard that the second daughter of the Campbell family just bought a new car a while ago, and it cost hundreds of thousands, right? Liam, I remember when you got married, your father-in-law gave your wife a small Cayenne as a dowry gift. How much was it worth?” Liam said indifferently. “One hundred thousand.”
Celeste was a little surprised. Liam usually couldn’t care less about the car she got as her dowry, but he actually knew the price.
When Nicolas mentioned the car, Shawn immediately had a bad feeling, and sure enough, Nicolas continued, “The biological daughter’s dowry car is worth one hundred thousand, while the adopted daughter casually buys one worth hundreds of thousands. Your wife has been in a coma for six years, Mr. Campbell, and you don’t care for your own daughter who has been without a mother since such a young age, but continue to disadvantage her for an orphan. I really don’t get it.”
Hearing his words, no one spoke up for Angel anymore. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
After accepting her sister’s dowry of more than three million, driving a car more expensive than her sister’s gift, and taking advantage of all the benefits of the family, Angel still went online to mock her
sister, repaying kindness with hatred.
“How come people who seem so nice online turn out to be so evil?”
“When Liam got married, I heard the gift money was worth nearly one billion. And the Campbell family only gave a lousy car. How can they be so cruel?” “What was Shawn thinking? Favoring an adopted daughter over his own?”
“The adopted daughter knows how to act pitiful. We all must have been fooled by her!”
Angel’s look was distorted, and Shawn’s face was turning green and pale.
“What can a car prove? Maybe Mr. Campbell is compensating Angel for something Celeste did when she was young. Angel was only fourteen years old when she posted those things online, and how could a 14-year-old girl have evil intentions? She was just documenting what she saw and felt. After all these years, who can tell right from wrong? What’s suspicious is Mr. Francis bringing up the car. Maybe Mr. Francis is encouraged by Liam and is biased towards Celeste”
At this point, someone actually chose to turn a blind eye. This person was, of course, Jarvis.
Celeste really didn’t understand how she had offended this guy who seemed determined to fight her to the death.
Angel clearly twisted the facts, and now he said that what happened when Angel was young had long since passed, and it was all mere speculation? Such double standard!
Just as she was about to get angry, she suddenly heard Liam coldly say, “So what?”
Celeste was taken aback and looked at Liam curiously.
