Chapter 226


    Chapter 226


    Celeste had many questions in her mind, but before she could ask them, she heard Liam on the other


    side of the phone say, “Who wants to talk to her? Don’t make decisions for me!”


    Celeste was speechless…


    Owen let out a dry chuckle, “Ma’am, please don’t take it to heart. Mr. Reed wasn’t shouting at you. He


    arrived at the office this morning looking quite off-color. I suggested he visit the hospital first, but he


    was adamant aboutpleting his work. I presume his wound is causing some difort, which


    might exin his irritability. If it’s not too much trouble, could you drop by the office? Mr. Reed seems to


    have forgotten his medication.” “Why are you wasting your breath on her?” Liam’s words easily


    shattered any quilt Celeste had.


    Celeste forced a smile, “I think Mr. Reed’s voice is quite energetic, not like he’s in pain from his wound.


    Since he can insist on going to work, it means the wound is almost healed. Besides, I’m sure there are


    plenty of women eager to bring him painkillers. I’d better not join the crowd, so as not to make Mr. Reed


    even more upset when he sees me.”


    After saying that, Celeste hung up the phone without waiting for Owen to speak.


    Owen was stunned and looked at Liam, whose face had turned even darker.


    He coughed and tried to exin for Celeste, “She might have been a little angry just now.”


    Liam gave him a cold nce, and Owen shut his mouth.


    At this moment, the phone rang again. Owen took a look and whispered, “It’s Skyler”


    Liam was already in a bad mood, and when he heard it was Skyler’s call, his face got even longer, and


    he said coldly. “Don’t answer.”


    Owen turned his phone to silent and put it aside.


    With an unhappy face, Liam asked, “Hasn’t Martha Zacke to resign yet? Martha was Martha’s real


    name.


    Skyler had been calling Liam all morning about this, and Liam’s refusal to answer the phone had


    already made his stance clear.


    *Our HR department has already called her, but as soon as she heard it was from thepany, she


    hung up and refused tomunicate”


    Liam looked up and said, “Give her one day. If she doesn’te to resign within a day, fire her for


    unexined absence.”


    This would make her lose thepensation for terminating thebor contract, so it seems that Mr.


    Reed is determined to make her quit. “I’ll notify the HR department.”


    If Martha were more astute, she would ept thepensation and make her exit. Armed with


    Skyler’s letter of rmendation and her skills, finding a new job would be no hurdle. Although it


    might not remunerate as generously as her position in the Reed family did, it wouldn’t be inferior by a


    considerable margin either However, if she gets fired, she won’t get anypensation. Once word gets


    out, it’ll be tough to find another high-paying gig.


    On Celeste’s end, she spent a day attending dance sses and ended up at Mercy Hospital for the


    night.


    Lying in bed, she took out her phone to look at the cassette tape photos she had taken earlier and


    started to ponder their content.


    Assuming the six numbers were a code, there must be a specific order to them. What could it be?

    Since the numbers were hidden on the tapes, they must be rted to the tapes – maybe the release


    years?


    Celeste checked and found that three of the tapes had the same year and month.


    Could it be the first letters of the song titles, then?


    She tried that, but the first letters still resulted in duplicate numbers.


    At this point, she was really at a loss. There were a few numbers, but no clues whatsoever.


    Just as Celeste was racking her brain, her Facebook received several private message notifications.


    Frowning, she took a nce and suddenly froze


    The ount sending her messages was the one she had previously mentioned to Mason as a


    suspected Sydney alt ount.
