Chapter 49


    Celeste was reluctant. Skyler’s friends were all rich, and she had never been good at dealing with


    them. So she didn’t want to go and made an excuse, “Isn’t Kaylee at home? She’s better at talking to


    thesedies than I am. I’m not good with words and might make things awkward.”


    “Kaylee went out with friends, or I wouldn’t have asked you. You’ll have to deal with them when you go


    out with Liam in the future. You can’t refuse every time, or people will think the Reed family’s daughter-


    inw isn’t presentable.”


    Celeste didn’t say anything.


    “Get ready ande over as soon as you can.”


    After saying that, Skyler hung up the phone,


    With no choice. Celeste had to get ready and head to Skyler’s house.


    Skyler had been a socialite in J City when she was young. After marrying into the Reed family and as


    they became more famous, her position in the celebrity circle has been consolidated. She often invited


    some wives of the Reed family’s business partners to gatherings. On the surface, it was to make more


    friends, but the real purpose was to exchange information.


    Some things that men couldn’t openly talk about, women liked to discuss privately.


    Around 10 am, threedies arrived Mrs Garber and Mrs. Kelley were familiar to Celeste, but Mrs.


    Meyer was a stranger.


    Judging by her attire, Mrs. Meyer shew no difference from the other twodies, but when she spoke,


    Celeste felt that Mrs. Meyer was more dominant. Mrs. Garber and Mrs. Kelley were always giving in,


    and even Skyler was more intimate with her than with the others. As Celeste brought the fruit, Mrs.


    Meyer nced at her and said leisurely, “Skyler, this is your daughter-inw, right? She’s quite pretty”


    Skyler smiled faintly without responding.


    Celeste put the things down and then left.


    Mrs. Kelley waited for her to leave before asking. “Skyler, did you get that medicine? Do you think it


    helped?”


    “I’m not sure.”


    “How many doctors have you guys found for her now? She should be pregnant soon, right? Is there

    something wrong with her body?” Skyler, with her eyes down, calmly said, “As far as I know, her


    medical report shows that there’s nothing wrong with her. I don’t know why she hasn’t gotten pregnant


    yet”


    “That’s really weird! Could she be cursed or something?”


    Mrs. Garber chimed in, “Seriously, from upbringing to family background, which part of her is a match


    for the Reed family? I really don’t know what the Old Lady sees in her”


    “I heard that she and her mom were in a car ident years ago. The passenger in the front seat was


    seriously injured. But she was sitting in the front seat and was totally fine, not a scratch on her. Her


    mom, on the other hand, ended up in a vegetative state. Don’t you guys find that strange?”
