Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 108
Since Leah wasn't at the company, Celeste had been having a peaceful working life. Without anyone disrupting her, she was able to work with high efficiency and motivation. She had the lowest qualification and experience amongst everyone working in the Prestige Design Center. However, she was able to generate good ideas and design excellent drafts. She was now recognized as the best intern here. She had hopes of being retained at the company as a permanent employee. Of course, the happiest news she heard was that the York family had been blacklisted by the Primax Group. Primax Group was the benchmark of the construction industry in the country. Being blacklisted by them meant that it'd be extremely difficult to gain other clients's trust in them. Ever since the York family received investments from Damon, things had gotten a little better. But now they were back to zero. Because of this matter, Celeste had been smiling all day every day. Damon didn't know what she was thin

"This morning, someone sent Caleb a picture of a car accident and said that I was dead." After a while, Celeste said with a throaty voice. She saw the picture. The victim's face was blurred, but she was wearing the same white hoodie that Celeste owned. Even their body type and hair looked alike. Because of that, Caleb thought it was real. He got too emotional and passed out. When she told him all of that, Celeste was curling up in Damon's brown coat. Her eyes and nose were slightly red. Her lashes were trembling a little, and her face was ashen. Without a word, Damon sat next to her and placed her head on his chest. Normally, Celeste would get up from a nightmare and listen to his steady heartbeat. She'd then be able to fall asleep faster. Damon thought that she might feel better by doing this. As expected, Celeste went closer to where his heart was. She curled up in his arms like a little injured animal that was sick and weak. It would make anyone's heart soften for her.

"Damon, you weren't like this before. You always treated me the best. I never thought that you'd put me under the spotlight that way just because of another woman. I didn't do anything wrong, I just love you." Because of her illness, Leah had become thinner. She cried and was about to hug Damon. Damon avoided her. Recalling all the memories he had with Leah in the past, he felt a little guilty. Nobody knew if Caleb's life could be saved now, so Celeste was in no mood to watch Leah's performance. Leah nearly caused her to drown and die, yet she was saying that she did nothing wrong here. "Leah Sullivan, loud noises are prohibited in the hospital. Go out if you want to cry." Celeste jutted her chin at the exit. Her tone was impatient. "Damon, did you hear that!" Leah cried even harder. "Celeste, did you have to say it that way?" Damon frowned. He disrespected the Sullivan family just now for Celeste's sake. But now, she was still being so unforgiving. She didn't even care about

Caleb was in a coma for two days. He finally regained his consciousness on the third day. Celeste finally eased up when he was discharged from the ICU. The surgeon said that they managed to save him out of pure luck. But if this happened again, it would badly affect Caleb's new heart. He might even … Celeste didn't dare to think further. Celeste hired someone to investigate the phone number where its owner sent that picture to Caleb. It was from overseas. She suspected that someone sent this to a third party and told them to text this to Caleb. Of course, she knew that this must have had something to do with the York family even if she didn't conduct an investigation. There was no point in taking revenge on them now. The most important thing was to take good care of Caleb and defeat the York family as soon as possible. "Megan, please help me keep an eye on the York family's actions." Megan came to visit Celeste that day. Celeste asked for Megan's help as she saw Megan out.

That very day, Camden was badly beaten up by Damon's men before getting dumped in front of the York residence. Damon's message was clear. This time, he didn't investigate the York family. But it didn't mean that he had no problems at all. Leaving Camden at their doorstep served as a warning to them. Henry and Hannah were about to head outside to do something when they spotted Camden. The sight of him tied up and covered in bruises sent shivers down their spines. "Mr. Bradley, why are you here?" Henry hurriedly untied Camden and helped him to walk into the house. "Why am I here? This is all your daughter's fault!" Camden couldn't be bothered by the fact that he was dirty as he sprawled across the couch in the York residence. He said angrily, "Damon didn't kill me this time, but that doesn't mean I'd be able to survive next time!" It was clearly Shannon's idea to hire him and send a fake message to Caleb saying that Celeste was dead. Lying on the couch, Camden took his anger

At the Radcliffe's dinner party, Jonah was wearing a suit and a cross necklace. He stood at the door to welcome his guests. He was a tall man in his 50s. Because of how wealthy he was, he seemed younger and more energetic than other regular 50-year-olds. But he gave off a greasy feeling due to his obsession with alcohol and women.In Lawrence's words, his father was a simple man. He had only one hobby apart from working, and that was to sleep around with hot women. He'd stuff dollars into the girls' panties and sleep with them. He didn't care if those hotties only loved his money and not him. Nor did he care about them being smart or not. Jonah preferred quantity over quality when it came to playing with women. Henry had some dealings with him in the past. Of course, he knew what kind of person Jonah was, but he couldn't be bothered by it. "It's been a while, Mr. Radcliffe." Henry led Shannon to Jonah's front. Shannon was dressed in an extravagant and revealing dress. Grinni

Celeste was smart enough to understand Henry's intention when he brought Shannon along to see Jonah. But Caleb's condition was still unstable, so she couldn't care much about anything else. Lawrence added a few words after sending her the picture. "Let me know if you need me to do anything. It won't be troublesome. You don't have to feel embarrassed to speak up either." She was so touched that she didn't know what to say. She could only tell Megan to watch Henry. She'd think about the rest after Caleb got better. Celeste took a week's leave to take care of Caleb. She accompanied him on walks under the sun, sat by him as he got an IV drip, and gave him health supplements to consume. Caleb had a positive attitude. He couldn't be happier about the fact that his sister was alive. That day, Celeste pushed Caleb's wheelchair to the back of the hospital. They strolled under the sun on the grass field. She then heard the voice of a young boy. "Ms. York?" She turned around and s

"How could I let you do that?" Celeste quickly turned him down. "Why not? My friend's nursing home is quieter. There'll be a professional team of nutritionists and rehabilitation physicians to help Caleb heal better. Although the environment of this hospital is alright, there are a lot of people here. You can consider my suggestion if you ever want to avoid that situation." Celeste thought about it. Winston's suggestion was indeed the best for her current situation. She couldn't watch over Caleb all day long. She could only feel confident enough to attack the York family if Caleb was placed in a completely safe environment. "Alright, just follow my advice. You helped me find the loophole during the bidding and the conspiracy between the York family and the authorities in Primax Group. Let me repay you by making sure that Cal is healthy and safe." Winston called Caleb by his nickname too like how Celeste did. "You probably won't believe me, but I feel really connected to this ki

He never would have imagined that the intelligent and aloof Celeste would have a day like this, appearing adorably naive and innocent.Damon used to like girls who were delicate and pure, but that changed when he met Celeste.She had a face full of charm and allure, but her expression and personality were always cold and unyielding. She was pale and slim, yet not childlike. On the contrary, she resembled a young poplar tree, proud and upright.Because of her, he began to like girls who sparked his desire to conquer, and he scoffed at those who were simply weak and shy.But now with Celeste like this, he didn't feel annoyed. In fact, not only was he not annoyed, he actually found it cute and interesting.“What's your name?” she asked again."Damon.""Oh, that sounds really nice."The initial confusion in her eyes was gone, replaced by a sparkling glimmer, and her tone carried a touch of a young girl's excitement."You are actually my husband… Wow, great job, me! I've managed to

"What? Aren’t you my husband? Do I still need to avoid you while changing clothes?" The confusion in Celeste's eyes didn’t seem fake.Damon was speechless and didn't know how to respond at that moment.When Damon didn't respond, Celeste suddenly felt a bit nervous."I'm sorry… I can't remember clearly. Aren't you my husband?"Damon raised an eyebrow casually and asked, "Why do you think I am?"Celeste innocently blinked, her eyelashes fluttering like fans. "The nurse said it. Besides, if you're not my husband, why would you sleep with me at night?""What did the nurse say?" Her reasoning was actually logical and undeniable. For a moment, Damon found it somewhat amusing."The nurse said that my husband is really thoughtful," Celeste responded seriously. Then she asked, "Aren't you my husband? Then why would you be willing to stay here with me so late?"This one sentence left Damon speechless.The reason he was willing was because he was a coward. He said that he didn't care abo

Damon frowned upon hearing the classic amnesiac questions being asked."Celeste, are you trying to act out a TV drama?"Celeste still looked at him blankly. "What do you mean?"Damon didn't answer and went straight to the director's office to get Nicholas.Knowing her, she wasn't the type to joke around, especially not with Leo still missing. She must have hit her head hard.Nicholas was equally surprised and hurried back to the room with Damon.Celeste was sitting up, hugging her knees and staring into space."You're awake? How do you feel?" Nicholas asked with a smile as he entered."Why am I here?" Her voice sounded hesitant, and she turned to look at them.Her confusion seemed genuine. Nicholas and Damon exchanged worried glances."Celeste… you don't remember?""Celeste?" She asked, "Is that my name?""Yes.""I don't remember. My mind is blank.""Do you remember… Leo?" Nicholas hesitated. After all, if she knew that her child had been missing for three days, he was wo

"Alright," Celeste said in a deep voice. "Let me see Leo first."They pushed open the hidden door, revealing a staircase leading to the basement."Have Leo come to the stairway corner." She stood at the dark staircase and negotiated with the kidnapper."Mommy!" Suddenly, Leo's desperate cry echoed from inside."Leo!" Celeste ditched everything else and rushed down the stairs.She ran ahead, and as soon as she reached the corner, there was a loud explosion, and a wave of heat hit her face."Celeste!""Celeste!"Damon and Winston's faces changed drastically, shouting in alarm.The basement was empty. It was a trap.Had they been more careful, they would have noticed that both the kidnapper’s voice and Leo’s cry were artificially synthesized. But Celeste, in her desperation to save her son, had been too frantic to discern this.The basement was rigged with landmines. Unfortunately, something went wrong. The mine exploded when Celeste reached the stairway corner, instead of when

What? Damon was also coming? Celeste felt her heart leap, and her voice became sharper as she said, "I can handle this. You can't come!"There was no response from his end.Observing Damon’s silence, Celeste quickly softened her tone. "Damon, listen to me. I can handle this alone. There's no need for you to get involved… because I'm their main target, and they likely won't harm Leo. You need to stay home and wait for him. You need to take care of him later on…""Celeste," Damon interrupted coldly. "Are you planning on not coming out alive?"Of course, coming out alive would be ideal, but she couldn’t guarantee that."Damon, I do have a chance of surviving, but when it comes to exchanging myself for Leo, there can be no room for error. We must follow the kidnapper's instructions to ensure Leo's safety."It was out of the question to provide a false sense of security and pretend to comply with the kidnapper, only to backtrack and get Leo killed.She needed to ensure Leo’s safety a

They checked all the surveillance footage near the Bishop residence and investigated every suspicious vehicle. They also had people keeping an eye on Henry, but after half a day, there was still no breakthrough.The kidnappers had taken Leo to threaten Celeste, and the lack of communication was meant to unnerve her. If it was according to predictions, she was supposed to wait for their demands. But, as a mother, she couldn't just sit and do nothing.Celeste remembered that Shannon had called her, so she found her contact in the blacklist and called."Shannon, did you and Henry kidnap Leo?" she demanded.Shannon laughed coldly. "Don't accuse us without any evidence. Your son is missing? Maybe it's karma. Hahaha!"Celeste hung up, unable to stand Shannon's smugness.Several teams searched for over 20 hours, even involving the police, but still had no solid leads. Celeste suspected Henry, but they couldn't just arrest him without any proof.She was extremely desperate. She didn't e

"Lester isn't as clever as Leo. He's just a four-year-old child, and he shouldn't have done anything like that," Serena instinctively defended Lester. Then, recalling the last time she had misunderstood Leo for similar reasons, she felt a pang of guilt and added, "I don't mean to imply anything… I'll have someone bring Lester here."Celeste nodded. "I'm not blaming Lester. I just want to understand what happened."Soon, the nanny looking after Lester brought him in. Unexpectedly, upon seeing Celeste, Lester burst into tears."Aunty Celeste, please don't hit me. I didn't mean to lose my brother!""Lester, I just want to understand what happened." Celeste was taken aback by his crying but kneeled down to speak gently. "I'm not blaming you. Can you tell me what you saw that day?""Aunty Celeste, don't hit me!" Lester kept crying, not saying a word about Leo's disappearance."Am I that scary, Lester?"At this moment, Celeste felt at a loss. She could communicate normally with Leo,

Celeste perfectly understood what Cedric's implied. "I mean, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to entertain me today."Cedric had indeed wanted to help her that day, but his identity was too special to admit it openly. The scratch on the paper was a subtle hint, and whether or not she could interpret it depended on her intuition. The fact that she could decipher such a subtle hint proved her intelligence and luck.Over the years, Cedric had developed a sense of respect for Celeste after learning about her. He felt she was deserving of assistance, but he couldn't make it obvious."However, be careful. I see that Henry is at the end of his rope and might act irrationally. You should be on guard," Cedric warned.Celeste nodded, having considered this as well. "Henry wants me dead."This was why she had her brother stay abroad and sent Leo to the Bishops. With only herself remaining, it was harder for Henry to use her loved ones against her."Take care of yourse

Celeste's deduction was correct. Cedric intentionally left the mark. As Winston dug deeper, he slowly uncovered a series of issues.It was a bridge project on a highway in a poor mountainous area. Not uncommon.The problem was that the person in charge of this project was a leader assigned from a first-tier city to oversee the development. Officially, he was recognised for his capabilities, but in reality, this task was one he had to succeed in without failure.He had offended someone, and this transfer was a disguised punishment under the guise of a major responsibility.If he had managed it well, the chances of him returning to a higher development role would have been slim. At best, he could stay in this position until retirement. If he didn't manage it well, his entire career could be ruined.Someone of such status naturally had supporters as well as opponents. In such a situation, it was impossible for anyone to sabotage and create pitfalls along the way."It seems the next
