Crack My Code CHAPTER 116 – Old Man Zach had a Farm
After getting further instructions from the old man, she led the group back to the car and relayed the instructions to Lucas.“He said in 200 metres we will see an arc and we should turn left there. From the arc, we need to drive 500 metres more and his men will be waiting for us” she instructed and Lucas started driving slowly.When they reached the designated spot, they were greeted by two men: one old and one teenager. They must be father and son.“Welcome, Ms. Yates” the older man greeted them. Celine replied then introduced her company.“You can leave the car here; we’ll take the horses to the barn” the old man suggested.“What?” Aunt Marge asked.“Madam, this whole property beyond the fence is carbon-neutral territory, we cannot allow the car to come inside or else, we will lose our current standing and benefits” the old man explained carefully.Seeing there’s no point in arguing, they all followed the old man and his son to an old looking…Carriage???She felt like she went bac

She wanted to vent out her frustrations at the old man but she felt Aunt Marge’s warm arms around her shoulder.“It’s okay, Celine. Lucas will make the call for us. Let’s just enjoy our little vacation” Aunt Marge’s gentle voice calmed her down.Old Man Zach observed their interaction and felt curious.They must have a good relationship as in-laws.***Inside the car, just outside the farmgate, Lucas felt his ears were already bleeding listening to Daniel’s threatening voice.‘If anything happens to either of them, you will pay with your own life’ the young master was fuming.He only calmed down when Mr. Stevenson continued their conversation.He reported everything he learned and how the ladies were enjoying their stay which the old master appreciated.After a few more reminders from Mr. Stevenson, they ended their call and he went back to the main house.“I should be there. She’s a city girl, dad. She wouldn’t survive outside the city” Daniel objected.He already contracted a choppe
Crack My Code CHAPTER 118 – Shake It to Seal It
Celine was caught off-guard when her father was mentioned.She knew her father is always a sore topic amongst the Stevensons.She looked at the older lady to see any resentment in her eyes but she only saw curiosity. She tried to imagine the mighty Roland Yates but she could not imagine him living in a farm.She shook her head then smiled at the older lady.“For as long as I can remember, my father’s only focus is work. He always went overseas just to meet potential business partners. Doesn’t matter how short or how long his trips were as long as there is an opportunity, he would definitely go. I remember asking him if his trips were tiring and he would just smile.”“I think he was contented after his overseas trips that’s why I always know that his work gives meaning to his life and was always his priority” she recalled her father’s face longingly.Aunt Marge nodded as if seeing Roland Yates in a new light.“Your father didn’t bring you along?”“I think when I was a child, he would b

When they finished their lunch, Celine grabbed her bag only to realize that she left her phone in her room.On her way out, she found Daniel quietly blocking her way.She stopped in her tracks waiting for him to say something but he just looked at her deeply. He looked like he wanted to say something but decided against it.Instead, he pulled her towards his chest and cupped her face before giving Celine the most passionate kiss she ever tasted.For a moment she thought it was a different man but she knew it was still Daniel when he locked her again to his embrace and smelt his comforting scent.“I’m doing my best” he whispered almost pleadingly.When Celine looked at his sombre eyes, she didn’t know what to say. He has the power to make her shut up and explode at the same time. This time she chose to keep quiet and pulled him towards the bed.“I know” she said softly. “I want a chance to do my best too. To help you” she added with more resolve.There are moments in a person’s life wh

Lucas just followed everything Celine requested and drove silently to the highlands.Having made arrangements with the old man before driving up, the father and son staff were already waiting for them when they arrived.“Apologies for arriving so late, Old Man Zach” Celine apologized.“It feels just like this morning when I last saw you, Celine. Oh wait, it was indeed this morning” the annoying old man teased.“I just need to clear my head. We’ll be gone in the morning” she snapped clearly annoyed. It has been a long day and she just wanted to stretch her back on a soft bed.After all the revelations she learned that day, she just needs a quiet place to calm her mind and her churning stomach.“Oh, you’re welcome to stay of course” the old man quickly double back on his replies.After further instructions to the staff and reminders to Celine, the old man went to his room to retire for the rest of the night.Lucas wanting to report everything he found out to the Stevensons, excused him

Daniel was observing her demeanour and saw determination in her eyes.When she looked back at him, she quickly gave him a smile.“I believe I’ve explained myself” she said with a playful grin.“I never cared about that” he lied.“Awww Daniel. I was so worried you would misunderstand so I came back. It turns out, you didn’t care about it at all” she smirked then went to her room.Before she could close the door, she felt two strong hands hugging her waist and she felt Daniel’s breath on her shoulder.When Daniel didn’t say anything, she decided to break the ice.“I’m almost done with the wedding preparations. So, when can I meet your bride?” she asked knowingly.“You won’t” he replied.And her smile grew wider.Looking back at their interactions, she realized Daniel never lied to her about his ‘bride’.All along it was just that. A press release. A topic to put the Solomons in check.But she had to play along with his plans. If he doesn’t want to tell her, she will just support him sil

It looks like the press conference hasn’t started yet.***At Yates Holdings.Daniel went to Yates Holdings to meet up with Minerva and Clint to finalize their deal.He thought as long as Celine believes in him, he will always have an ace up in his sleeves.When he arrived, the building lobby was filled with media staff setting up for a press conference.Despite having a bad feeling about it, he proceeded to his office where he was greeted by Minerva’s smug face.“You’re brave to show up” Minerva commented mockingly.“I don’t dare to disappoint you

Obviously, he’s affected by this issue.He never cared about bad publicity.The Stevensons have been dealing in grey areas for a long time now that he has managed to take advantage of the loop holes in the justice system.He only cared about Daniel, his son grew up with an upright man and he was not sure how Daniel will take this blow.Celine sensed the older man’s anxiety and took it upon herself to break the tension.

Now she only wanted for Celine to have babies so she can guide her through motherhood.“Still work, Linda?” Daniel teased.“Actually, no. I want her to enjoy her motherhood so she has to sign the formalities as soon as possible” Linda objected.“Pbbft. Motherhood will only come once she’s ready. Maybe after two years if we’re lucky” Daniel defended his wife.Linda gave Celine a knowing look and she saw Celine shrink back. Clearly, she hasn’t told Daniel about it.

The old man was really grumpy.And why wouldn’t he?Celine said that the ceremony will only involve a few guests. And it would be a simple celebration. However, as soon as she started setting up her decorations, he knew it wasn’t as simple as she claimed it to be.Since he could not convince them to stop, he left the farm as soon as they started putting up the tent and only came back when he received the message that the farm is back to its previous order.He could already see their eco-friendly rating dropping from the charts. He still needed to submit reports to explain that the event did not pollute the environment.So, he is really grumpy right now. He has a lot of work to do.If the spoiled owner wanted to discuss business he needed to calm down for a day before he would be willing to negotiate.To be honest, he’s beginning to have second thoughts on selling the property to Celine.

Everyone kept their silence when they saw Celine followed by Daniel.If looks could kill, Daniel would have been dead by now based from the glaring stares he’s getting. Even Aaron who adored him looks at him disappointingly now.He knew he made a mistake but he can explain himself if he will be given a chance. All that matters to him now is that Celine agreed to be his wife for real. The rest will follow later on.“Let’s have dinner now. Celine is hungry” Daniel said to break the deathly glares directed at him.The rest of the group snapped out of their own worlds when they heard Celine was hungry.Sylvia immediately went to the kitchen to check on the food while Aunt Marge prepared the dining table.Celine wanted to help but everyone wanted her to rest.She thought about what happened in the afternoon and they must have felt pity for her.Her heart warms up at the special treatment she’s receiving.“Uhhmm.

Daniel tried to swallow hard to remove the lump building in his throat.Suddenly, it was very difficult to breathe after realizing what happened.He let the elders scold him so he could punish himself but Sylvia’s silence was more than he could take.No one said another word anymore. No matter what they wanted to say, it’s all useless now.They were at this stand still when the Blooms arrived.“Ah, Daniel you came. Celine would be relieved” Dr. Bloom was filled with vigour.He never expected the wedding atmosphere to lift Grandma Bloom’s spirits.They just came from the make-shift tent where she inspected the final decorations and her eyes were dreamy.“Let’s get married again tomorrow, dear” she joked as she gave instructions to the wedding planning team.“Grandma” Daniel greeted.Grandma Bloom acknowledged his presence but turned her attention to the la

Their reactions were not like as she has expected.“What if Daniel doesn’t want to get married?” Aunt Marge suddenly asked.She was worried that Daniel would have to give in to Celine again.For the Stevensons, they place a high value to marriage and family. Since their businesses could easily attract those unscrupulous characters, they needed the kind of security that only blood and family could provide.“Of course, Daniel will marry Celine. There’s no way that Daniel will object” Sylvia defended Celine from the Stevensons.“I understand all your concern. Of course, Daniel will have to agree this time. Anyway, I prepared the ceremony thinking that Daniel has really found a wife. It turns out, it’s only a ruse to throw off the Solomons.” Celine explained.“Daniel has already said that he will only get married because of love. I guess later I will know if he sees me as his potential

She could hear Britney’s sobs in the background. Daniel must have put their call on speaker mode. Isn’t she really thick-skinned? If it were Celine, she would have definitely dug herself out of that room. But then again, she’s Britney Smith, only she can do what she does and only she can accept this kind of embarrassment.“Britney, just cross Daniel’s name on your list. He’s not used to dealing with emotions so you will really lose out. He’s also not romantic so you will be really bored. Aren’t you embarrassed if you have to set an appointment with me if you want to have intimate nights with him? Even if you managed to marry him, he will not acknowledge your marriage in public so no one will really know that he’s your husband. Trust me on this one, he’s been married for seven years now and yet no one knows about his wife. If you want to receive flowers, you will either have to plant it yourself or order it online to

She felt an inexplicable excitement hearing his deep and powerful voice. But her excitement was quelled when she heard Daniel speak.“I thought I told you to call my secretary for appointment?” Daniel asked without any emotion.“Well, I cannot reach Celine and your office suddenly went into company holiday. So, I thought I can call you again since you’re divorced now” Britney said sheepishly.Daniel heaved a deep breath to calm the rage he felt before replying again.“Ms. Smith, news of my divorce may have circulated but it doesn’t mean anyone can just call me for dates. I’m not that desperate.” he replied in a stern voice.“That’s not what I meant, Daniel. I just got back to the country and I have a project proposal. Knowing your work ethics, you wouldn’t let a good opportunity pass. I mentioned your divorce because I think your ex-wife will not be jealous anymore if we went f

Mom is feeling under the weather so Tiff is accompanying her for now” Aaron felt cold sweats appearing on his forehead. Never had he imagine that he will blatantly lie to Daniel one day.“Oh” was all Daniel could reply then ended their call.In that case, it’s best to rest early so he can reach Celine before lunch.He decided to leave some reminders to Oscar regarding the company’s affairs.“I’ll leave you in-charge, Oscar.
