Chapter 84
“The multiple car crash that happened on the overpass the other day-Celeste was there too, and her
Porsche was one of the cars involved.”
Liam’s pupils suddenly shrank, and he quickly looked up.
Owen handed over the file from the passenger seat.
“This is Celeste’s medical record. She and Sydney were treated at the same hospital.”
Liam’s face tightened as he flipped through the papers.
A fractured 11th rib on the right side; multiple soft tissue contusions, limited movement in the right wrist;
forehead bleeding with bruising, headaches, nausea, and other symptoms. Hospital observation
recommended…
Everything that happened that night played out before Liam’s eyes, his throat tightening.
She never mentioned the accident to him, not a word.
Liam closed his eyes.
Was this the reason why she suddenly wanted a divorce?
On the way, Kaylee was constantly touching up her makeup in the mirror.
She had her makeup artist use the lightest foundation, which looked good, but it was prone to
smudging. Once her makeup was gone, her original skin tone would be exposed, making her look
particularly unrefined.
She could only try to apply more loose powder to prevent the makeup from coming off.
The mirror inadvertently reflected Celeste in the back row, and Kaylee couldn’t help but feel envious
when she saw her face.
Celeste’s skin was smooth and delicate. Even in a suit that downplayed her feminine features, she still
attracted attention.
Wouldn’t she steal the spotlight if she went in with her?
The more she thought about it, the more she couldn’t stand Celeste.
The car soon arrived at the venue for the charity gala-The Sapphire Hotel
The owner of The Sapphire Hotel, who was also one of the organizers of the charity gala, had
extensive connections in the J City business circle, and the invited guests were all political and
business elites, socialites, and senior executives of large listed
companies.
Although it was called a charity gala, it was more of a business cocktail party where elites from various
fields shared information and exchanged resources.
That was why it was so important. Otherwise, Liam wouldn’t have bothered to bring her, as any
secretary could have accompanied him
to the event.
She didn’t know why Kaylee insisted on attending this time, since she used to dislike these types of
business-oriented events.
Kaylee was a top figure in the J City socialite circle. Her mother was once the number one socialite in J
City, her grandmother was the former president of the J City Chamber of Commerce, and her brother
was a popular entrepreneur in the country. Their family had deep roots and influence, so everyone had
to show them respect.
So as soon as they entered the hotel, many people came over to greet them. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Kaylee, where did you get this dress? It’s so beautiful.”
“I was just about to say, I almost didn’t recognize you when you came in from outside.”
“Weren’t you on a graduation trip? We usually get sunburned when we go out, but your skin seems to
be even better now.”
The girls praised Kaylee to the skies.
Kaylee enjoyed the compliments and said proudly, “This dress was a gift from my brother. He has good
taste, doesn’t he?”
“More than good? It’s fantastic!’ The girls’ eyes lit up when Liam was mentioned.
Liam was a legend in the social circle, rich, handsome, and capable. His private life was clean, unlike
the rich kids who indulged in debauchery every day. Naturally, he became the target of many socialites.
