Chapter 645


    Chapter 645


    Liam stopped and turned to look at Owen, simply replying. “That’s her dream”


    He could act as Owen suggested, let Celeste experience the cutthroat nature of society, let her sink


    into the mire, and thene to her rescue like a knight in shining armor Show her how cruel and scary


    the world can be without him, and keep her by his side like a caged canary


    But Celeste was not a canary. Although she had been living a life of luxury, carelessly spending money,


    her spirit had been dimming daily


    She would toss and turn at night, looking at her former ssmates achieving sess in their careers.


    While watching TV shows, she would point at an actor and say, “That’s my ssmate xxx. He wasn’t as


    good as me back in school, but look at him now, everyone’s working so hard”


    He wanted to keep her in a cage but never locked it.


    Celeste had been in the cage for so long she didn’t want to fly out


    Just like a baby elephant chained up by its owner, even when it grew up and had the strength to break


    free, itcked the courage to do so.


    Now that she had stepped out of the cage unless she chose to go back in herself, he would nevery


    that trap and destroy her dreams.


    Owen was taken aback and quietly said, “I understand.”


    As they passed the audition suite, Liam suddenly stopped


    The carpet under his feet felt different from elsewhere


    Looking down, he saw that it was damp. Everywhere else was bright red, but the spot under his feet


    was dark red

    The damp trail led to a narrow door a few meters away


    Owen curiously said, “There’s a leak. Wait, why does it smell like alcohol?”


    Liam nced at the door and was about to walk away when suddenly, arge amount of alcohol began


    to seep out from under the door.


    “Sorry for the inconvenience,” a waiter rushed out, apologizing nervously, “Please walk on the left side,


    guests. There’s been a leak in our alcohol storage, I’ll have someone clean it up immediately”


    Just a leak? More like a flood


    Liam nced at the door and said, “Open it.”


    The waiter was startled “I’m sorry, sir, but this is also an employee changing room containing many


    personal belongings. It would vite their privacy…


    “Open it!”


    Liam’s patience was weaning thin, his face turning stern.


    The waiter was startled. Liam had been controlling his aura, but now that he was angry, his


    overpowering presence was giving off a strong sense of intimidation


    The kind of pressure thates from someone in power was overwhelmingly strong.


    But the waiter had taken money from the other party, promising to keep her locked until nine, and it was


    only twenty minutes to nine. How was he supposed to get the rest of the money if she was released


    now?


    However, he soon regained hisposure. The owner of Azure Club was a big shot in the capital.


    Who would dare to cause trouble here in J City?


    So, he suppressed his fear and insisted, Tm sorry, but I’ll have to ask the manager’s permission.”


    Owen took out his phone and said, “Hello, Mr. Manager, there’s a waiter here refusing to open a door.


    Can you visit the ninth floor and check what’s going on? Mr. Reed is waiting


    The waiter’s face went all pale


    What! What! They went straight to his manager


    Three minutester, the manager rushed to the scene, ready to give the waiter a piece of his mind. But


    Liam cut him off, “Get the door first.”


    The manager turned his head, itching to give the waiter a good telling–off. “Where’s the key? Open the


    door, pronto!”


    In a panic, the waiter fetched the key from the duty room. His hands shook so much that he couldn’t get


    the key into the keyhole


    Owen took the key from his hand and, with a stem face, opened the door.
