Chapter 316
When Valeria saw Skyler not speaking for a long time, she smiled and said, “You’ve been quiet for quite
a while. Are you unhappy with mom’s arrangement? Celeste is part of our family too, and if she does a
good job, it’s a good look for us all.”
Simrly, if things didn’t go well, it would be Skyler’s family that would endure the embarrassment.
Skyler suppressed her dissatisfaction and nced at Valeria, saying tly, “Since mom has arranged
everything, I won’t have any objections. But I’m still a bit worried.” She looked at Celeste and said
gently, “Celeste, when youe to my houseter, I’ll exin the whole process to you. If you don’t
understand anything, just ask. Don’t skimp on the money that needs to be spent, and make sure
everything goes perfectly.”
Celeste lowered her head and whispered, “Got it, mom.”
Although some family members were doubtful about this arrangement, the olddy seemed to be very
satisfied with it. After discussing the matter, she said she was hungry and suggested having a meal
earlier.
The Reed family didn’t have many rules, but they had clear divisions ofbor.
For example, when the olddy talked about business, the daughters–inw of the Reed family would
not interrupt. When discussing family matters, the Reed family’s men rarely spoke. Just like the
discussion about the birthday banquet, Liam and his uncle didn’t express any opinions from beginning
to end.
After dinner, everyone sat in the living room drinking tea, and Celeste quietly went to help with cleaning
up the dishes.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Ramona tactfully whispered to Celeste, “Mrs. Reed, you don’t have to worry about these things. Just sit
in the living room and have tea with us.”
Celeste said, “It’s fine, I just finished eating and wanted to move around a bit to help digest.”
She took over Skyler’s responsibility, and thetter frowned every time she saw her. If she sat in the
living room, the people around her might not feelfortable either. Doing some housework actually
made her feel more at ease.
Seeing this, Ramona didn’t say anything more.
She didn’t let Celeste do the washing, but just let her cut some fruit and arrange tes in the kitchen.
As Celeste was cutting the fruit, she suddenly let out a long sigh.
Ramona noticed her unhappiness and asked, “What’s wrong, Mrs. Reed?”
Celeste said angrily, “I’m thinking, is grandma still mad at me?”
Ramonaughed, “Why would you think that?”
Celeste mumbled, “Otherwise, why would she give me this job?”
Ramonaforted her, “The olddy gave you such an important task because she values you. If she
were mad at you, she wouldn’t even let you in the door when you brought those food.”
Celeste pouted, thinking that the olddy only gave her the job because she didn’t want to offend her
daughters–inw.
However, since it had already happened, she could only try her best to make the birthday banquet go
well..
“Ramona, tell me how grandma’s birthday banquets were held in the past.”
Ramona looked at her in surprise.
In fact, before this happened, the olddy had already talked to them privately about it.
At that time, the olddy even bet with them on how Celeste would handle the birthday banquet:
whether she would take charge herself, or, in order to please her mother–inw Skyler, secretly hand it
over to her.
The olddy bet that Celeste would take charge herself, while Ramona and her husband thought
Celeste would give it to Skyler.
Celeste always appeared very humble, devout, and cautious in front of the elders, fearing that a
mistake might bring trouble upon herself.
Skyler had never liked this daughter–inw, and now that the olddy had given her the task of the
birthday banquet, she couldpletely hand this opportunity over to Skyler to improve their
rtionship. It was a very good choice and the safest approach.
