Chapter 5 " Ah , Mr. Reed hasn't woken up yet . " The housekeeper said . " Well , go to the bedroom and wake him up ! " Celeste was getting really pissed . There was silence on the other end , and then a deep male voice said , " What's up ? " He asked so casually , his voice still raspy from just waking up . For a second , Celeste thought she might have been too suspicious . She pursed her lips and took a deep breath , " In a few days , I'll send you a list of where I've put your clothes and stuff . I hope you don't bother me with these stupid things again ! " " Stupid things ? " Liam sneered . " Celeste , isn't this the kind of thing you love doing the most ? You even want to control what kind of underwear I put on . Isn't this what all your life is about ? " Celeste's breath caught , and her fingers clenched as she felt a sudden pang of heartache . Even though she was mentally prepared , hearing it was different . No matter how tough a heart was , it couldn't remain indifferent when being attacked like this . There was silence on the phone , and neither of them said anything . After a while , Celeste spoke hoarsely , " You're right , I have no ambition . So from now on , I won't care anymore . Sign the papers , and we'll both be happy . " The topic turned back to divorce , and Liam's anger rose again , " Are you done with your drama yet ? " Celeste laughed bitterly and said , " Do I have the right to cause drama ? " " You'll regret this ! " Liam hung up after saying those harsh words . Celeste forced a smile . Her so - called care and dedication were nothing but a joke to him . Maybe when she was carefully preparing his clothes for different occasions , he was looking at her with disdain . What praise could a woman who only paid attention to trivial matters in daily life receive ? Even she felt looked down upon . " Sir , do you still want to wear this one ? " The housekeeper asked cautiously . She had seen the couple quarrel before , but this time seemed particularly serious . She had never seen Liam so angry and sharp - tongued . Liam glanced at the walk - in closet , where Celeste's clothes took up more than half the space . She didn't even take her things when talking about divorce . Was this her attitude ? Liam sneered and said , " Just wear the set she mentioned ." As soon as he finished speaking , his phone rang . He picked up the phone and listened while walking , " Mr. Reed , there's a situation with Miss Sydney . " A pile - up accident on an overpass had resulted in 11 deaths , 9 missing , and over 60 injured . It was a rare major traffic accident in J City in the past 20 years . It had been over 24 hours since the accident , but the search and rescue operation was still ongoing . People nationwide were concerned and praying for survivors . Meanwhile , Sydney's fans were fighting with netizens online . The incident started when someone posted a video of the accident scene , showing Sydney safely getting out of her car and being surrounded by people as she was put on a stretcher . However , there were many injured people at the scene who hadn't received effective help . This contrast was too striking , and some netizens questioned why a lightly injured person was rescued before those who were more seriously injured . Was there any abuse of celebrity privilege ?
