Chapter 916
Liam suddenly turned alert, “What’s this guy like?”
“He’s a short dude. I’d guess he’s in his 40s or 50s. Didn’t get a good look at his face, he was all
masked up and wearing a hat. His eyes, though, had some wrinkles around them.
He said he was here to donate but kept asking about Aunt Caitlyn and Letti. Looked kinda sad when he
found out that Aunt Caitlyn had passed away. He then donated a hefty chunk of change and asked the
head about Aunt Caitlyn’s grave before leaving. Had the vibe like he knew Aunt Caitlyn, but denied it
when asked.”
Liam frowned, a short middle–aged man?
He mulled it over for a while but came up empty.
“Did he say anything else?”
Sean thought for a moment, “Nothing else. He just looked at some pictures of Aunt Caitlyn and Letti.
Said he’de back in a bit.”
Liam paused, a thought crossed his mind. Could it be Letti’s biological father?

While he was deep in thought, Celeste’s voice echoed from afar, “Come help us, we’re swamped!”
Liam snapped back to reality, gently patted on Sean’s arm and said calmly, “Let’s go lend a hand.”
Celeste was ying Santa, promising gifts to the kids for a good performance. They were shy at first,
but soon, they were hamming it up on stage. Liam watched Celeste’s awkward performance, her
denials even as the kids called her out. A smile tugged at his lips.
“Mr. Reed.”
The head’s voice came from the side
Liam turned to see the head holding a ss of wine and smiling kindly at him, “May I propose a toast?”
Liam hurriedly took the ss. “You’re my elder, I should be the one to toast you you.”
The head shook his head, “Without you, I couldn’t have kept this ce running.”
Liam was taken aback, then he smiled. The head may be old, but he’s no fool. Who else in J City could
make such a massive anonymous donation than someone connected to Celeste?
He didn’t say anything, just took the ss.
The head clinked sses with him, “Cheers.”
He downed his ss in one go.
Liam didn’t really want to drink, he knew his limits. He didn’t want to miss out on time with Letti because
he was drunk. But it would be disrespectful not to match the head’s toast. With that thought, he downed
his ss too.
The head refilled his ss. This one’s on behalf of Caitlyn.”
Liam paused, guilt washing over him. He hadn’t really helped much with Caitlyn’s funeral, his
negligence had left Letti in a lurch.
I… I don’t deserve it.”
*You’ve taken good care of Celeste. She had hardly smiled in the two years since losing her mother.
Even her asional smiles were filled with sadness. Since she’s married to you, she’s started to smile
again. I believe Caitlyn’s greatest wish was for Celeste to have a good husband and a good life, unlike
her own unfortunate experiences.”
Liam didn’t say anything, just downed his ss
The head matched him, then refilled his ss, “This third one, it’s about a secret concerning Celeste.
Can I ask you for a favor?”
Liam tensed, “Go ahead.”
