My Rich Hot and Infertile Husband (Celeste and Liam) novel Chapter 174

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!

"I've 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."

Crawling from bar to bar, picking up unconscious girls became a routine. Alone, almost all the single women drinking at night would eventually sober up and probably recognize them, so they bought some illegal drugs to lure the girls into their traps.

These two scoundrels gambled that the victims, out of shame or public opinion, wouldn't dare report the crime. So, their modus operandi became more and more brazen.

If they had arrived a few minutes later last night, things would have been unimaginable.

Even now, Nicolas still remembered Liam's expression when he held Celeste. It was the first time he saw Liam's usually calm face show such an expression.

Thinking of this, he grinned slightly, "If something had really happened to Celeste last night, would you have divorced her?"

Liam's movements paused for a moment, and he coldly shot him a glance. "I'd kill you first."

Nicolas was speechless, "How can you blame me for this? I thought you two were ignoring each other for so long. I wanted to help you build your relationship, but it ended up like this."
