My Rich Hot and Infertile Husband (Celeste and Liam) novel Chapter 175

His voice became smaller and smaller, eventually shutting up.

Well, whose fault was it that he came up with the rotten idea last night?

Just then, Celeste returned.

Nicolas immediately stood up and said, "Celeste, I have some matters to attend to back at my company. I'll leave first. You take care of Liam. If you need anything, just contact me."

Liam glanced at him, "You're leaving empty-handed; how inappropriate. Why don't you take the fruit basket with you?"

"I'm not the patient, why should I eat fruit…"

Halfway through, Nicolas suddenly realized that Liam wasn't asking him to take the fruit basket but hinting that he showed up empty-handed!

"I won't take the fruit basket. You keep this card; there are fifty thousand in it, which was the reward I promised you before, along with my compensation for Liam's lost work and emotional compensation for you. After all, you two went with me last night and encountered such an unlucky situation."

Celeste glanced at it but did not accept it. "My husband's daily salary is much higher now. Due to the arm injury, he probably needs to rest for at least a week, right, sweetheart?"

The hidden meaning in her words was that Nicolas' money was probably not enough.

Liam was amused by the word "sweetheart" and looked over, "It depends on the recovery of the wound; could be as short as a week or as long as half a month."

Celeste had a "See? I told you so; I didn't lie to you" expression.

Nicolas found his lips twitching. These two really were made for each other, even joining forces to swindle his money under these circumstances!

Liam calmly said, "Truthfully, the bracelet could be bought for less than two million."

Celeste quickly realized that Nicolas was the most insidious person of them all!

"Let's forget it; after all, this wealth was accidentally obtained." She handed Liam a check, "I'll take the bank card, and you can have this check."

Liam didn't take it, instead, he looked at her left cheek and frowned, "What happened to your face?"

When Celeste first came in, she was facing him with her right cheek, so he didn't notice. When she handed him the check, she turned her whole body around, and the finger marks on her left cheek became quite obvious.

Celeste reached up to adjust her hair on the left side and said softly, "It's nothing."
