Chapter 1246
Liam looked down at her, “You know, you’re actually enticing me to deceive people. If found out, I might
go to jail”
Hearing the possibility of going to jail, Celeste hesitated for a moment.
Liam said tly, “Risk and reward always coexist. I can’t take the risk without getting the corresponding
reward, right?”
Celeste was stunned, “So you mean?”
Liam said. Twenty thousand points, no bargaining
Celeste thought for a second, and then she gritted her teeth and said. “You can’t bully me like this?”
Liam repeated his earlier words. I might go to jail”
Twenty thousand points is too high!”
At this rate of increase, it would soon exceed her tolerance She was currently enjoying Liam’s
affection. What could she use to “threaten” Liamter on?
Liam said confidently, Tm taking such a big risk to help you with this dangerous task. Isn’t it worth your
little sacrific
Celeste pursed her lips, making a concession, “Can we do five thousand points?
Liam moved her hand away from his leg. Let’s talk about it another day”
Celeste once again firmly said. “Eight thousand points”
Liam paused and said. “Fine ten thousand”
Celeste pointed at him with trembling fingers, finally gritting her teeth and saying, “Deall
She threw her phone at him, “Call him now!”
Liam smirked and sat down next to her
He
the phone and asked, “Are you sure Shawn doesn’t know about Helens kindergarten business?”
Celeste said. If Shawn had that kind of guts, thisnd wouldn’t have been vacant for so many years. He
doesn’t have Helen’s ambition and courage he wouldn’t. daremit a crime publicly.”
Liam pursed his lips. “That just shows you don’t know him well enough”
Celeste looked at him, her face full of surprise.
Liam thought for a moment, then told Celeste about how Shawn had used the stolen photos of Celeste
to ckmail him for money.
Celeste’s expression went from initial shock to gloom
After a long time, she finally asked, Knowing he was ckmailing, why did you give him the money?”
Liam spoke quietly. “I know you want to send him to jail for attempted murder, so I didn’t take any
action.
if Shawn was jailed for ckmail, Helen would be hisst hope. In order to protect his family, he
certainly wouldn’t disclose the truth about the car ident case, which would not be beneficial for
Celeste’s next move.
Upon hearing that he had shelled out a fortune to trap Shawn, Celeste was immediately heartbroken.
“Did you really have to throw in that much dough? What if he spends it all before I can toss him in jail?
Plus, that sneaky shot didn’t even capture anything worthwhile, just a silhouette. How could you get
swindled so easily?”
Liam fell silent
He gently lifted her chin, looking straight into her eyes. “What do you mean just a silhouette? I wish to
make all those who ogle at you blind every time you step out in a spaghetti strap dress!”
Celeste was taken aback, her mind involuntarily drifting back to the charity g. She remembered how
Liam had taken her to try on dresses and then, for some odd reason, gave the dress to Kaylee Reed
That dress was actually quite risqué.
Remembering Liam’s furrowed brows at the time and how they had rxed once she had changed into
the suit, a guess suddenly dawned on her

She asked softly. “Liam, at the charity g that night, did you give my dress to Kayice because it was
too revealing?”
Liam red at her and asked, “Are you just now catching on?”
Celeste quickly answered, “Am i at fault here?” Celeste retorted. “You introverted man, why didn’t you
just tell me straight up that you didn’t want others checking me out?
Liam shot her a nce. Would you have listened? Remember when i told you those ripped jeans
looked awful? What did you do? You wore them for a month straight, unting them in front of me
every day! It’s like you were deliberately defying me Why is your rebellious phase so damn long?”
Celeste fell silent
