    “Hey, who’s this?” As soon as the call was connected, Nics’ voice came through, sounding calm and


    steady, unlike his usual frivolous tone.


    Celeste was puzzled. Didn’t this guy have her phone number?


    Did he not save it?


    But she didn’t have time to think about it, and quickly said, “It’s me,


    Celeste.”


    Nics eximed in surprise, “Oh, it’s you’ What’s up?”


    Being so direct, Celeste felt a bit awkward. But now wasn’t the time to be awkward, so she got straight


    to the point, “I need a favor from Mr. Francis.”


    Nicsughed, “What can I do for you? Liam is way more capable than me.”


    In other words, she should go to her husband.


    Celeste was pretty straightforward, saying directly, “We had a fight, and I don’t want to talk to him any


    more than I have to. Plus, Mr. Francis is the only one who can help with this issue.”


    Nics became interested, “You guys had a fight? What about? Tell me more.”


    Why did she feel like Nics was so excited to know about her fight with Liam?


    “It’s not a big deal, I identally gave the socks I bought for him to Mr. Fletcher, and he got mad at


    me.” Celeste said.


    Nics got the point, “You gave socks to Mr. Fletcher?”


    “Mr. Fletcher helped me a lot at the party, so I bought him a tie as a thank you gift. The socks were


    identally mixed in, not meant as a gift.” Celeste


    said


    “Oh, Nics said meaningfully, “then Liam is being unreasonable. It’s just a pair of socks, is it really


    worth getting upset over?”


    Celeste didn’t want to discuss who was right or wrong with him. Nics was Liam’s childhood friend,


    and if she said anything else, it could easily get


    back to Liam.


    “Mr. Francis, let’s get to the point. I need your help.” Celeste said.


    Nics attitude warmed up. “We’re all family here. Just tell me what you need.”


    Celeste briefly exined the situation at the jewelry store yesterday and Shawn’s request.


    In fact, Nics already knew about the incident yesterday, even pulled out the surveince footage


    from the store and watched it again.


    The bracelet was something he had spent over 20 million to auction off from Myanmar, and then gave it


    to his mother. His mom didn’t want it because she thought it looked old-fashioned, and he had no use


    for it. So this cunning businessman put it up for sale at the jewelry store for over 18 million.


    The bracelet had been sitting there for half a year when he heard from the store manager that it had


    been sold. He wondered who the sucker was, only to find out it was Liam’s wife who helped sell it.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    He was shocked after watching the surveince footage. He thought he was shameless enough at


    making money, but he had met someone even more


    ruthless


    Liam’s wife had given him so many surprises. How could he have ever thought she was just a dumb


    beauty?


    “So you mean, you want me to return the bracelet for Ms. Reilly? Nics asked.


    Celesteughed, “If I wanted you to help me return the bracelet, I would’ve gone to Liam instead of


    you.”


    Nics didn’t have much connection to her, and over 18 million wasn’t a small amount. He might not


    be willing to help her with this, but if Liam were to ask, it would be a different story


    Celeste was very smart


    Nics liked talking to smart people, so he smiled, “Then what do you want me to do?”


    Celeste revealed a smile, ‘Mr. Francis made a lot of money selling that jewelry for over 18 million,


    right?”
