My Rich Hot and Infertile Husband (Celeste and Liam) novel Chapter 148

Though, she appeared calm upon learning the role went to someone else, her inner disappointment was known only to her.

She had fantasized about achieving career success after her divorce, causing Liam to regret his words. That now seemed like a pipe dream.

What level of success should an actor achieve? A famous actress? Yet now, she couldn't even land a minor role.

Things weren't as simple as they seem for a woman who got married right after graduation.

Real-life competition was fierce, and no matter the means, only the winner was deemed victorious.

Being sheltered by Liam for so long had simplified her thinking. How would she expect someone to take a role in such a way?

"Ma'am, it's time for your medication." The maid’s voice interrupted Celeste's thoughts.

Without turning around, she smelled the familiar scent.

The maid placed the bowl of medicine on the table, and unwrapped a chocolate bar in front of Celeste.

The maid said, "This is chocolate extra sweet. After drinking the medicine, bite into it, and it won't taste so bitter."

Celeste sighed.

Taking her medicine always felt like a battle that annoyed her. Remembering Skyler’s words at the hospital, she took the bitter medicine, downing it all in one shot to the maid's amazement.

It was so bitter!

Celeste had been too gentle for so long that everyone assumed she was a harmless rabbit. In reality, she was a leopard with claws and fangs!

How could Celeste possibly be a rabbit, being able to stand out among many wealthy daughters?

Liam was powerless against her, let alone a mere maid. Even if Martha was loyal to Skyler, if Celeste could maintain her position as Liam’s wife, she would be the future hostess of the Reed family.

But could she hold on to that position?

Martha was angry but didn't dare provoke her further.

Firing her was well within Celeste's rights.
