My Rich Hot and Infertile Husband (Celeste and Liam) novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36

This sharp voice, tinged with a hint of surprise, sounded very familiar and immediately evoked a sense of disgust from Celeste.

Celeste looked up and gave her a casual glance, “Ms. Denton, long time no see.”

Their boss, who came rushing over, said in surprise. “You two know each other?”

Sydney straightened her coat, smiled, and slowly walked over to sit across from Celeste, “Yes, and we have a special relationship.”

The boss didn’t catch the hidden meaning and laughed, “Ah, old friends! Do you two want to chat privately?”

Sydney glanced at the boss, “We’re just familiar, not really friends”

One sentence clearly defined their relationship, making the boss feel awkward.

However, Celeste didn’t show any emotion and pushed her bag forward, “Here, according to the shop’s rules, please check the goods

first.”

Seeing that Sydney had no objection, the boss took the bag and began to inspect it.

The table in the room was tiny, and the distance between Celeste and Sydney was only about a meter. Still, the tense atmosphere between them made the owner a few meters away feel a bit suffocated.

“Celeste, you’re so shameless, selling other people’s stuff. Don’t you feel embarrassed?”

“I’m just getting rid of some unneeded stuff. Why should I feel embarrassed? By your logic, those who want other people’s unwanted things should feel ashamed, right? But it seems Ms. Denton doesn’t feel that way Celeste laughed.

Sydney’s face darkened. Worried that anything she said would be leaked, she held back her anger.

About twenty minutes later, the owner finished checking the bag and confirmed it was genuine. He then asked Celeste for her asking

price.

“Five million.”

Upon hearing this, Sydney exploded before the boss could even assess the price, “Five million? Celeste, are you going crazy for money? The original price was over two million, and now you want five million? Do you think I’m easy to fool?”

Celeste’s expression remained calm, “If you can buy it for the original price of over two million, why buy a second-hand one? Ms. Denton, this bag is only available to members, you know? Only top members who spend over twenty million are eligible to buy it. Since it’s a like-new bag, I should add some membership fees, right?”

“Membership fees? Celeste, did you even buy this bag with your own money? You’re spending Liam’s money recklessly, and now you want to add a membership fee to sell it? No wonder Liam says you’re greedy”

Celeste’s hands suddenly tightened, and her eyes became cold, “Ms. Denton, the Liam you’re talking about is my legal husband. It’s perfectly reasonable for me to spend his money, and I don’t need you to meddle. If you want this bag, it’s a fixed price of five million, no bargaining if you can’t afford it, then don’t waste each other’s time. I’m very busy”

“You’re saying I can’t afford it?” Sydney was furious, “I’m just questioning whether your price is reasonable. This bag is only valued at three million, but you’re asking for five million. It’s totally disrupting the market order!”

Celeste laughed. “Ms. Denton seems to have misunderstood. We’re dealing with personal private property here, not market rules. If the deal goes through, I only need to pay value-added tax, which is not against regulations. Besides, the value pricing is for the buyer’s reference. The item is mine, and the pricing is my choice. If you think it’s unreasonable, you don’t have to trade.”
