    Chapter 279


    So when Celeste got admitted to T University, Caitlyn threw a huge feast at home, inviting professional


    actors to perform and treating everyone to a banquet. Even though some people gossiped, it did not


    take away the grandeur of the asion.


    As for Latonia, she started spreading the news as soon as her son’s admission letter arrived, preparing


    to celebrate him getting into a good school.


    She made it a big deal, yet when everyone arrived with gifts, they discovered she had only set up a few


    shabby tables outside her house, serving just a few simple dishes.


    epting all those gifts and offering just a little food in return, it was so disrespectful!


    And the key point was, Latonia’s family was not poor at all. Next to Shawn, they were among the


    better–off families.


    So with such a stingy disy towards their guests, who would like her?


    That’s why when she announced her son’s admission to C University, no one wanted to engage with


    her. She was obviously trying to take advantage of everyone again.


    Seeing no one following up on her remarks, Latonia didn’t feel embarrassed at all. In her mind, these


    rtives were all jealous of her.


    Her gaze wandered around and finallynded on the wife of the Campbell family’s fourth son, “How did


    your child do in the exams this year?”


    The woman didn’t want to deal with Latonia and replied inly, “It’s the his own business, so I didn’t


    ask.”


    Latonia said, “How can it be just the child’s own business? Your son didn’t do wellst year, but


    shouldn’t he have made some progress? Or did he do worse thanst year and not dare to tell you?”


    Her sharp and sarcastic words made everyone even more annoyed with her. It’s fine to praise your own


    child, but not looking down on others‘ children. The woman was angered by Latonia and, seeing


    Celeste, suddenly had an idea.


    “My child has his own ns.” After a pause, she continued, “Latonia, when Celeste took the college


    entrance exam, her mom threw a big celebration at home and even hired professional actors to


    perform. This time, your son got into such a good school, you’d better make it even grander than that,


    right? You can’t just give us that food nobody wants to eat again, can you?”


    This made Latonia feel a bit embarrassed, but she said with a straight face, “What are you talking


    about? What do you mean by giving you food you don’t like? I call it being low–key. Look at how grand


    Celeste’s mom made it. What happened in the end? Her daughter got married as soon as she


    graduated, and now they’re theughingstock back home.”


    Celeste immediately tensed up.


    Liam casually stroked the back of her hand and said leisurely, “Why are we theughingstock? I don’t


    understand what you’re saying, Latonia. Is my wife marrying me that funny?”


    Latonia froze. She was so focused on getting back at others, she didn’t watch her own back, and


    ended up spilling her true thoughts.


    She appeared to be looking down on Celeste, but deep down inside, she was dying of jealousy.

    If Celeste were here alone, her sarcasm wouldn’t matter. With Shawn around, she wouldn’t do anything


    even if she’s mad.


    But Liam was a different story. He wasn’t part of the Campbell family, and people used to look down on


    them when they got married. So why would they give them any respect this time?
