Chapter 212
After saying that, she opened the bracelet she just got from Shawn and handed it over.
Although the bracelet was of good quality, it was still a bit inferior compared to the one worth over 20 million.
However, Celeste could no longer contain herself. She couldn’t stand by while Skyler thoughtlessly bid for that bracelet.
“Mom,” she interjected, just give it a chance. If it doesn’t suit you, I’ll help you select another one.”
Skyler didn’t happy Celeste had to give her the bracelet right when she was about to bid. If she didn’t accept it, there would be rumors about their relationships; but if she did, with Sienna there, she had to reciprocate. Otherwise, Sienna would think she’s impolite.
Also, whether she accepted it or not, since Celeste gave out the bracelet, bidding for the one on stage would make people think she didn’t like Celeste’s gift.
As expected, after Celeste took out the bracelet, Sienna said, “It’s your daughter-in-law’s heartfelt gift. Give it a try and see if you like it.”
Skyler felt frustrated but tried to keep smiling as she took the bracelet.
Coincidentally, the size of the bracelet was perfect, as if it was made for Skyler.
Sienna praised, “Celeste has a good eye! It suits you really well.”
Skyler smiled awkwardly. “Her taste has always been good, I really like this bracelet.”
After Sienna expressed her opinion, many ladies agreed, “Skyler, you have such a nice daughter-in-law. She is filial and has good taste. The bracelet looks really nice on you”
“My girl’s been married for 5 years, and she hasn’t given me a decent gift. Skyler, you’re really blessed to have such a daughter-in-law.”
Hearing these praises, Sienna was very satisfied, but Skyler’s smile was quite stiff.
Celeste knew that her mother-in-law hated her to the bone.
Yet, she was indifferent to the consequences; her sole focus was to prevent Skyler from purchasing that bracelet. Even if she faced reproach later, it mattered little to her, she had weathered such chastisement before.
Krista finally looked at Celeste for a long while, then remained silent.
Is there anyone else who wants to bid?”
The host’s voice rang out again, with no one responding.
Just as Celeste was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly heard Sienna shout, “Wait.”
Everyone looked over
Sienna walked up to Celeste, and softly said, “Celeste, you go try your luck too.”
After she said that, Celeste felt Skyler’s cold gaze shoot over, as well as the envious gazes of countless ladies.
Celeste was frightened. She had just solved the problem, but now Sienna shifted the focus back to her.
She couldn’t dare to accept and hurriedly said, “Grandma, I’m not very lucky. I don’t want to affect everyone’s chances.”
Sienna smiled, “You silly girl, don’t say you’re unlucky Maybe you’re the fated one the fortune teller mentioned. When I asked him to predict your future with Liam, he said you’re special and with you, our family will be free from illness and disaster. Before you came, Liam had headaches and fever every few days, but since you’re here, those problems are gone. The fortune teller was right.”
Celeste thought that the fortune teller was probably a scammer.
Liams headaches and fever were due to staying up late!
After they got married, Liam gradually began to go to bed early and get up early with her, so his problems were gone.
Sienna trusted the fortune teller, and she couldn’t challenge her faith. After struggling for a long time, she could only say, “Grandma, I don’t think it has anything to do with me Liam is just healthier”
“You’ve played a role in that anyway Go on and try your luck”
Celeste really didn’t want to go, but continued looking for excuses, ‘Grandma, I really can’t. The bracelet is too expensive, and I’m too clumsy”
The old lady seemed to suddenly understand her concerns, ‘Are you afraid that if you win, Liam won’t want to buy it for you? You don’t have to worry about that. If you win, I’ll give it to you. And even if you don’t. I’ll buy anything else you want here for fun”
Celeste was on the verge of crying She wasn’t afraid of losing she was afraid of winning!
The old lady’s doting words made the girls envious, even Kaylee couldn’t help but be jealous
Her grandma had never given her anything that expensive Why would she treat an outsider better than her own blood?
She spoke up. “Grandma, I like the bracelet too if she doesn’t want to go, let me try?”
Sienna waved her hand, “You’re still young and studying You don’t need to get involved in this. We’ll talk when you’re older and married”
Kaylee was discontented and wanted to say something, but Skyler spoke up, “Celeste, just go ahead and give it a try If you really are the fated one, that’s our Reed family’s luck. The bracelet should go to you”
Celeste’s heart broken.
With it getting to this point, it would be impolite if she refused again. Liam glanced at her, pondered for a moment, and finally said, “Since mom said so. give it a try
By now, she had no choice but to go along
Celeste went on stage with a heavy heart. The host handed her a box and gently said, “Please draw your number”
Looking down at the audience, Angel had a playful smile while Shawn avoided eye contact. Skyler had a gentle expression but cold eyes.
Liam and Mason stood together, watching her calmly, not knowing the storm brewing inside her.
“Sienna, please draw your number”
The host reminded her again.
Celeste shook off her distraction, responded, and reached into the box. But just as her fingers grazed the card, she abruptly let go, clamping a hand over her mouth as she was seized by a wave of nausea, retching though nothing came up.
Her face turned pale, losing color instantly as she appeared to vomit bile.
Everyone on stage was shocked, and the audience was in chaos as well.
Sienna asked worriedly. “What’s going on? How did this happen all of a sudden?”
Mason was about to make a move, but Liam had already beaten him to the punch and went up on the stage to carry Celeste.
With Krista’s support, Sienna hurriedly followed. Looking at Celeste’s pale and pitiful little face, she frowned with heartache, “Celeste, what’s wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?”
