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
