hapter 148
Though, she appeared calm upon learning the role went to someone else, her inner disappointment
was known only to her.
She had fantasized about achieving career success after her divorce, causing Liam to regret his words.
That now seemed like a pipe dream. What level of success should an actor achieve? A famous
actress? Yet now, she couldn’t even land a minor role.
Things weren’t as simple as they seem for a woman who got married right after graduation.
Real-life competition was fierce, and no matter the means, only the winner was deemed victorious.
Being sheltered by Liam for so long had simplified her thinking. How would she expect someone to
take a role in such a way?
“Ma’am, it’s time for your medication.” The maid’s voice interrupted Celeste’s thoughts.
Without turning around, she smelled the familiar scent.
The maid placed the bowl of medicine on the table, and unwrapped a chocolate bar in front of Celeste.
The maid said, “This is chocolate extra sweet. After drinking the medicine, bite into it, and it won’t taste
so bitter.”
Celeste sighed.
Taking her medicine always felt like a battle that annoyed her. Remembering Skyler’s words at the
hospital, she took the bitter medicine, downing it all in one shot to the maid’s amazement.
It was so bitter!
She put down the bowl, drank some water, and the taste in her mouth gradually faded.
“Martha, I’ll take my medication on time from now on. You don’t have to report everything to her like
you’re doing now.” Celeste said. Martha’s face changed, “I don’t understand what you mean…”
Celeste glanced at her, “My mother-in-law sent you here to take care of us, primarily to ensure I take
my medication, right? I will do that. As for other matters like my arguments with Liam or our intimate
relations, please don’t tell her. Matters between a husband and wife are private, even though you were
arranged by my mother-in-law, revealing them would still be an invasion of privacy Celeste continued
with a reminder, “And now your salary is paid directly into your account by Quantum, which is managed
by my husband. You should know who your boss is and who you’re working for. If you can’t even do
that, I don’t mind asking my husband to find a new maid”
Martha’s face turned ugly, “I was sent by Skyler. You don’t have right to do this.”
Celeste just smiled and calmly said, There are a thousand ways for me to fire you. I just don’t want to
do it. If I fire you, my mother-in-law might get angry, but with my husband on my side, she’ll just ignore
me for a few days. But you? This job comes with high salary and numerous vacation days, but it won’t
be easy finding another job like this at your age in J City, would it? I’ve heard your husband was laid off
recently, and your son just started college. This job must be important to you, right?”
Martha trembled with anger.
Celeste had been too gentle for so long that everyone assumed she was a harmless rabbit. In reality,
she was a leopard with claws and fangs!
How could Celeste possibly be a rabbit, being able to stand out among many wealthy daughters?
Liam was powerless against her, let alone a mere maid. Even if Martha was loyal to Skyler, if Celeste
could maintain her position as Liam’s wife, she would be the future hostess of the Reed family.
But could she hold on to that position?
Martha was angry but didn’t dare provoke her further.
Firing her was well within Celeste’s rights.
