She lowered her head and agreed, just like before, submissive and weak.

Skyler didn’t say anything more, just urged her to drink the medicine first.

Since there was no way to avoid it, Celeste had no choice but to force herself to drink the medicine, holding her breath and chugging it down.

This whole act was so not worth it! The divorce settlement should be at least a 60-40 split to be fair!

Not long after she finished the medicine, Liam came in.

Skyler’s goal had been achieved, and there was no point in continuing the meal. She got up and said, “I have a card game. with Mrs. Garber this afternoon, and it’s almost time. You two go ahead and eat.”

Kaylee quickly got up, “I’m meeting a friend for shopping, Mom. Can you give me a ride?”

Liam and Celeste escorted them to the door. Before leaving, Skyler didn’t forget to remind Celeste, “Celeste, remember to take your belongings and don’t forget about what I said.”

Celeste nodded.

After sending them off, Liam turned to her and asked, “What did Mom say to you?”

“Nothing.” Celeste answered.

The drug in her stomach was too irritating, and Celeste couldn’t help but feel nauseous. After saying that, she turned pale and started retching.

Liam frowned, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her to the bathroom.

She threw up most of the medicine in the bathroom, feeling better after vomiting. As she got up to wash her hands, she saw Liam in the mirror.

He stood behind her, looking thoughtful as he watched her.

When she realized that her miserable state was all because of him, Celeste was too angry to calm down.

She said sarcastically, “Does Mr. Reed enjoy watching people use the restroom?”
