    Chapter 716


    Celeste was dumbfounded. Wasn’t Liam supposed to be at the office? How did he just pop up out of


    the blue?


    Before she could even process this, ire followed in, greeting, “Mr. Fletcher, Ms. Campbell.”


    Celeste gave ire a nce, then turned her gaze to Liam, who had a nervous look on his face. Her


    eyes slightly darkened.


    Mason exined, “Celeste is okay. The injured one is someone else.”


    At that moment, Liam also noticed Leonard, who had been scalded. Knowing that Celeste was


    unharmed, Liam felt a bit relieved. He wanted to say something, but the car downstairs was ready.


    Javier was asking everyone to clear the way so they could take Leonard to the hospital.


    Celeste let go of Liam’s hand and followed in a serious manner.


    Just as Mason was about to follow, Liam stopped him.


    “What happened?”


    Liam’s voice was deep. ire also asked, “Mr. Fletcher, what exactly happened?”


    Mason nced at them and said, “Kaylee just burst into the private room and sshed boiling water on


    Celeste. Leonard shielded her and got scalded on his back.”


    Liam’s face turned cold. No wonder Kaylee was so flustered when she came in.


    If it weren’t for someone blocking it, the one covered in blisters right now would be Letti.


    Suppressing the tremors in his heart, Liam looked at Mason and asked, “How did Kaylee know you


    guys were in the next room?”


    There were many high–end restaurants in this city. The Gourmet Gallery they visited today wasn’t the


    best one. Even if they happened to choose the same restaurant, what were the chances of picking the


    room right next door out of dozens of rooms?


    Liam wasn’t good at schemes, but he understood probability.


    Coincidences–once or twice he could ept them, but every single time, was it really a coincidence?


    Upon hearing this, Mason slowly lowered the hand that was blocking him, looked at him calmly, and


    said, “You should ask Kaylee that question. I’d like to know how she found our private room too.”


    ire quietly clenched her fists on the side.


    She never thought Kaylee would be so ruthless. She just wanted to use Kaylee to let Liam see that his


    ex–wife had moved on, so he could let go. She didn’t want to hurt Celeste.

    As those heading to the hospital squeezed past her and Liam, ire’s mind was a mess, and she


    didn’t immediately follow.


    “Leonard has reported it to the police. They won’t let it slide. Of course, with your capabilities, as long


    as you’re willing, you can still protect Kaylee, just like at the charity g when she locked Celeste in the


    bathroom.”


    Mason said indifferently, “If the police investigate, I’ll tell the truth. You have people you want to protect,


    and so do I.”


    Liam’s face turned icy. He said solemnly, “Mason, you could be more straightforward. That way I won’t


    underestimate you!”


    Mason looked up and said, “Liam, it seems you got it wrong. You were the one who let go of Celeste.


    No one forced you.


    Since you let go, you should behave like a proper ex and not condone your rtives hurting her.


    As for how I do things, that’s my business.”


    Liam grabbed his cor, gritting his teeth, and said seriously, “If you have a problem with me,e at


    me. If you hurt her, I won’t let you off!”


    Mason furrowed his brows, clearly confused by Liam’s words. He slowly removed Liam’s hand from his


    cor and said, “Celeste’s choice is her own. Even if she chooses you in the end, I won’t hold a


    grudge.”


    He straightened his clothes and calmly said, “But first, you have to beat me.”


    After he finished speaking, he nced at ire, who was not far away, with a mocking look in his eyes,


    and then he left.
