Ivory is the most heartless and arrogant person in the whole family. As a rich man's daughter, she only cares about spending money and playing with handsome men.
The living room was filled with a suffocating atmosphere that was almost frightening. Everyone had thoughts of their own, but nothing could stop the silence.
Damari could not take it anymore; nothing could be resolved if they kept silent. She picked up the document on the table and handed it to Celeste, "Here is the company's financial report. Take a look. If there are no problems, the money will be transferred to you in a moment."
Even though Damari thought she was calm and collected, her unfocused gaze gave her a chance. She was nervous.
Celeste flipped through the report and gently placed the document onto th
Dean still had an emotionless expression on his face. However, when he saw Celeste, his eyes filled with gentleness and favoritism, "To send you this," he said as he handed a collection of documents to Celeste.Receiving the things handed over, Celeste saw Dean's deep gaze, "Come in and sit down?"Dean nodded as he held Celeste's hand and walked to the couch. Sitting naturally beside Celeste, he crossed his legs and placed Celeste's arms in his lap with one hand on top. He then shifted closer to Celeste's ear and spoke loudly enough for everyone to hear, "Celeste, please continue with what you are talking about. I will always support you."Then, Dean positioned himself as a spectator as he stroked the slender fingers on his palm.Celeste tried to ignore the strange sensation in her hand by coughing lightly, "I assume this evaluation report is accurate?"Frodo shivered involuntarily, Helena clenched her fists tightly, Damari's face was pale as a tissue, and Old Lady Armstrong took the
Knowing that Celeste had her plans, Dean decided not to push the girl. However, Dean still reminded her, "Be careful of your surroundings. If anything happens, let me know immediately. Also, I'll have some people stay by your side. Just call if anything is needed."Celeste looked amused at Dean's vigilance, "It's actually no problem. If anything, I can handle it.""Be nice and listen to me this time. Don't make me anxious, okay?"Celeste rubbed her nose awkwardly. Since when did this man become so considerate? However, seeing the worry in Dean's gaze, Celeste could not refuse the goodwill, "All right then."Dean gently pressed his lips to Celeste's forehead and held her hand again, "Let's go."After sending Dean away, Celeste went straight back to her room. She turned on her laptop and continued her work. Now after the rush of her upcoming wedding, in order not to let her editor out of the laptop to rush her work, Celeste decided to hoard more manuscripts in these few days so that she
During those few days, Dean focused on work. He wanted to finish his company affairs as soon as possible so that he could have more time and energy to take care of the wedding.Of course, more than that, he hoped to be by Celeste's side so that they could get to know each other and work on their relationship so that it could stabilize the foundation of their lives from now on.Besides working every day, Dean would set aside time to make phone calls to Celeste. It was primarily small questions like asking what the other person was doing, how her work was, and if she had a good meal or enough rest.Of course, Dean always reminded Celeste to be wary of the Armstrong family members. If anything happened, Celeste should contact him immediately so that he could get someone to watch over her.
Although it did not sound obvious, as a professional bodyguard, he had to ensure he was responsible for all his actions. Gustin quickly jumped onto the railing and ran towards the second floor where Celeste's room was located, climbing with his bare hands along the water pipe and appearing on the balcony of Celeste's room.When Gustin saw Celeste lying on the floor, his eyes widened as he quickly held Celeste, "Young Miss Baker, what happened to you?"Celeste's face was pale as cold sweat slid down her forehead. Her voice was soft and weak as she replied, "Call Dean.""Don't be alarmed by the Armstrong family," The next moment, Celeste fainted.Gustin held Celeste in his arms as he called out towards the window. Two men appeared on the balcony very quickly. Seeing Celeste lying on the floor, Barac put his fingers on Celeste's wrist, "Young Miss Baker has been sedated."The three of them could feel the chill down their spine. Now that something had happened to Young Miss Baker, no one
"Of course I know." Dean replied."But, you should know what responsibility you carry on your shoulders.""I know about that too.""And you're still confused?"Dean made an expressionless face as he replied, "What you're saying is, the future of the Davis family shouldn't end with me, am I right? But what does that have to do with me and Celeste being together?""She's still young and I see the condition of her hormones and some things are not stable yet. Don't tell me you're planning to use a surrogate, if she can't get pregnant to solve the Davis family heir issue?" Andreas asked."Who says I have to find a surrogate?""If you don't find a surrogate, don't tell me that you will let her bear a child for you? Or that you want to take her place?""Remember Dean, we can't change a person's health condition easily, despite advanced technology!" Andreas added."Nothing is impossible in this world."Andreas was confused by that sentence, "What do you mean?""Have you heard before that a con
"Damn it!" said Andreas, who finally dared to come out.Dean gave him a cold stare, and Andreas immediately softened like a deflated balloon."You're going to wake Celeste up." the man said flatly."Dean, let's make a deal. I'll take care of the health of your precious property, but you have to help me seduce Davikah."Dean gave a mocking look at Andreas and replied, "Useless!"Then shortly added, "Alright, I'll help."For the sake of his precious wife, there was nothing wrong with sacrificing his best friend. Plus, he was giving his best friend free help and a bed warmer as compensation.'Davikah is not at a loss!' Dean thought. Moreover, that is how Dean happily decided.Young Miss Smith, who was halfway across the world, felt a shiver run down her spine. She grumbled as she felt strange about the sudden increase in the speed of her heartbeat.Andreas decided to unleash Dean's devious plan, "So, how did you find out about the things your precious lover has?""When grandmother decid
A sudden noise from downstairs awakened Aunt Gana. When she witnessed someone hitting the young lady and her friend, she almost wanted to scream for help.Barac moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared before Aunt Gana. Since Aunt Gana was Celeste's trusted person, he did not harm the middle-aged woman.He explained in his firm and hoarse voice, "The two of them are planning to harm Young Miss Baker. The glass of milk you made for Young Miss Baker was drugged by them, and caused Young Miss to be unconscious until now. If you still plan to scream, go ahead." With that, Barac left Aunt Gana petrified where she stood and proceeded to carry out his task.Aunt Gana stumbled a few times while walking toward Celeste's room.As she pushed open the door to Celeste's room, several people were in the room, and among them was Young Master Davis, whom she had met before.Realizing that Aunt Gana had entered, Dean motioned for Gustin to calm her down and not disturb Andreas, who was t
"Aunt Gana won't cry. As long as Celeste is okay." the old woman said.Dean looked at Aunt Gana with an expressionless face. If it were not for Celeste, he would not even let Aunt Gana get close to his girlfriend, "Gustin, get our people here and pack up all of Celeste's things. We are moving into the apartment on Park Avenue." Dean paused briefly before asking, "Celeste is leaving the Armstrong family home. What is your plan, Aunt Gana?"Aunt Gana looked at Dean and replied, "Mr. Davis, may I follow Celeste? I want to continue taking care of her, is that okay?"His little lover looked at him with expectant eyes, and Dean finally gave in, "Alright. But you have to follow my orders, do you agree with that?"Aunt Gana quickly agreed, "Sure, I'm willing to do anything. As long as you allow me to take care of Celeste."Moments later, Gustin's men arrived, and under Aunt Gana's instructions, all of Celeste and Aunt Gana's belongings were well packed within half a
