Chapter 495


    Chapter 495


    Seeing the irritation in Celeste’s eyes, Liam’s anger was instantly extinguished. He pursed his lips,


    feeling lost, and whispered, “That’s not what I


    meant.”


    “Mr Reed.” From not too far away, a soft feminine voicee. Celeste looked up coldly and saw


    Sydney in a long pink dress, all glitzy and morous.


    She smiled and walked over, “Mr Garcia, you’re here too,” and then nced at Celeste briefly with a


    curve of her lips, “Hello, Ms Campbell.”


    Liam frowned. What was she doing here?


    Celeste’s expression was indifferent, but her fingers were already clenched.

    Of course, she could hear where Sydney emphasized her pronunciation and understood how much


    schadenfreude was in that “Ms Campbell.” Wasn’t it something to gloat about? Liam finally divorced


    her, and she got nothing. Sydney’s long–hidden frustration was finally released, so why not show off


    before her?


    “I heard Ms Campbell’s mother passed away not long ago. I wasn’t in J City at the time and couldn’t go


    to pay my respects, which I truly regret. But looking at Ms Campbell’s state now, it seems she’s already


    over her grief. Time is indeed a good medicine.”


    Her mother had only passed away for over a week, and talking about being over her grief was like


    stabbing her in the heart.


    “Ms Denton, I’m sorry for your loss. You can still visit grave number 174 to show your condolences.


    Don’t just say it. Take some action. Maybe my mom will be happy to see it ande thank you at


    night.”


    Sydney’s face turned ugly.


    How could she say such a creepy thing so seriously?


    They were divorced, but her mouth was still so poisonous!


    Is this what happens when Celeste divorce Liam, lose backing, and start to let go?


    Sydney smiled, “Ms Campbell knows how to joke.”


    Then she turned the topic to Steven, “I heard Mr Garcia just returned to J City a few months ago. Is this


    your first time at this restaurant? I’m a regr here and am very familiar with their signature dishes. I


    also have a good rtionship with the owner. If Mr Garcia doesn’t mind, we can all share a table, and I


    can introduce you to some local specialities.”


    Steven nced at Sydney indifferently.


    He wasn’t familiar with Sydney, but he’d “run into her frequently in the past month.


    Skyline Media Group had no cooperation with Sydney, so her frequent “encounters” must take some


    effort.


    Sydney’s got some tricks up her sleeve, and Steven knew it all too well.


    She’s about to break ties with Nics Media Group and was currently looking for a newpany to


    sign with. Sydney’s acting skills were not all that, but she had ambition.


    Skyline Media Group might be a newly registeredpany, but with the Garcia family backing them,


    they had some serious dough. Plus, they’re on the lookout for talent right now. If Sydney signed with


    them at this point, she’d naturally get the best resources considering her current status. Her career


    moving up another notch was just a matter of time.


    She’s been creating the “chance encounters” just to get on Steven’s good side, hoping Skyline Media


    Group would take the initiative and offer her an olive branch.


    Too bad she miscalcted. Skyline Media Group’s first production had Zach as the director, and


    Steven had no intention of letting his artists gain poprity through inte traffic. He’s not nning on


    signing “inte traffic” stars like Sydney.


    Besides, Celeste seemed to dislike her.


    With that in mind, Steven said, “I appreciate Ms Denton’s intentions, but I invited Ms Campbell here to


    meet my family today, and I don’t want any outsiders around. Mr Reed seems pretty free. Why don’t


    you join him at his table instead?”


    Celeste.
