Chapter 352
Celeste and Liam sat on one side, the boy sat on another sofa with a tense face, and the manager looked at them, coughing and saying, “Mr Reed, Mrs. Reed, this really is a misunderstanding. I just found out about this Recently, the club has been short on staff, and the lower level staff have recruited some new employees. This young man is tall, and it’s really hard to tell how old he is at first glance. You can imagine how this matter has gotten out of hand.”
“Can’t you check his ID? Celeste said angrily, “He’s not even an adult yet!”
“I’m an adult.” The boy glanced at her, “I just turned 18 last week”
Celeste choked. “So you can work here now? Don’t you have to go to school?”
The boy said, “It’s none of your business.”
Celeste had a headache. “Not my business, huh? Then I’ll call the old dean to come and take care of you!”
She took out her phone and pretended to make a call.
The boy’s face changed, and he immediately came over to grab the phone, but before he could touch Celeste, Liam grabbed his wrist and twisted it back, causing him to kneel on the sofa in pain.
“Let go of me! The boy struggled, but Liam’s strength was great, and he couldn’t move at all.
Sean Knott was very tall. He was an abandoned child who had been placed in a welfare home after failing to find his family.
It was unclear whether he had gotten lost or been abducted, but a gang that exploited children for begging had made him beg around train stations for a long time.
His childhood experiences had given Sean a nimble body, and he had always been strong in fighting and other aspects. However, this was the first time he had been caught off guard without even fighting back.
For a moment, he was both unwilling and annoyed.
Celeste patted Sean’s face, “What are you so cocky about? Want to fight me? My husband is great at Kung Fu, you know!*
Sean was speechless.
Liam was also speechless.
He didn’t even know he was that amazing.
The manager immediately came over to mediate, “Young people are always impulsive, it’s normal for them to talk like this. Why don’t you both have a drink and calm down? I’ve already asked someone to find the person in charge, and when he comes, I’ll make sure to give you both an explanation”
“Forget it,” Celeste wasn’t trying to dig any deeper into the matter. She pinched Sean’s face, “Remember this face, and if he comes again next time, kick him out immediately. Don’t let him work here.”
Sean broke free of her pinch and said discontentedly. “I haven’t settled my salary yet!”
The manager immediately said, “I’ll settle it for you right now.”
Ten minutes later, Sean was standing in the hallway, counting a stack of money.
The manager had given him an extra thousand dollars.
As they walked out of the manager’s office, Liam asked, “Who is he?”
“He’s the kid from the welfare home my mom sponsors, named Sean, Celeste frowned, “He should be preparing for exams at school right now.” Sean was a very smart kid with good grades and a good chance of getting into a good university this year. With less than two months before the exam, instead of studying hard at school, he is working as a waiter, which seemed strange to Celeste.
As Sean said, he seemed to be in need of money. He had counted the three thousand dollars twice and was about to count it a third time when Celeste snatched the money from his hand.
Sean wanted to fight back, but seeing Liam standing next to Celeste, he swallowed his pride and pulled back his hand, his eyes widened, and said, “Give it back!”
Celeste looked at Sean’s face, which had patches of white and yellow makeup and, suddenly frowned.
“What the hell did you put on your face?” she said, reaching out to wipe it off. After removing the foundation, a bruise on the corner of his mouth appeared,
