Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 12 Design Competition
After she ate, Celeste fell into another dazed sleep. When she awoke again, Megan was sitting by her bed crying."Did I fall asleep, or did I die?" Although she was touched, Celeste deliberately laughed at Megan, faking indifference. "Aren't you supposed to be on a business trip for two weeks? Why did you come back early?" she asked."You assume too much. Who said I was crying because of you? I'm thinking about my problems. Hmph." Megan quickly wiped her tears.Celeste laughed when she saw how cute Megan was with her red nose. Megan then said, "I thought it through. Working at the club selling alcohol isn't a good long-term plan for you."She had a different idea. "Didn't you study design? Next week, Prestige will hold a design competition, and the top prize is 200 thousand dollars."You could even win a three-year contract. But the competition is on an invitation basis, so I'll be recommending you to the organizing team. You should prepare yourself," she informed Celeste.

Time passed. Celeste received another email from the organizer of the design competition. It was to announce that she had gotten through to the finals.The email read, "Ms. Celeste York, congratulations on moving on to the finals of the 'Covenant of Love' Design Competition."We have prepared world-class, high-quality raw jewels for you. You may bring your design to Conflair Studio and produce a prototype of it."Please attend the finals at 9:00 am on the first of July, at Hall D05 of the National Convention Center."Celeste's heart suddenly started beating wildly.When she quit school, she had thought that she would no longer have the chance to design jewelry.Who would have thought that fate would give her the chance to rejoin the field that she was so passionate about?"Thank you, Megan." Her hands trembled from excitement as she forwarded the notice to Megan."More than 200 designers participated in this year's competition. Only 155 people got into the next round. This is

When the microphone was passed to Damon, he spoke languidly. "I've had several interactions with Ms. York in private before. I have some suspicions about her usage of the concept of 'An Equal Love,'" he said."Prestige aims to produce unrivaled jewelry, and we require the designer's principles and actions to align with each other. I don't think Ms. York is someone that fits that bill."He watched with glee as Celeste's face pinched tight, her smile slowly cracking.In the scoring, the highest and lowest two scores were overlooked while the rest were averaged. Thus, Damon's score didn't affect her final placement. He had only wanted to annoy her.Luckily, the other judges were all fair and unbiased. In the end, Celeste won first place by a landslide. She internally let out a long sigh of relief.The winners' list would be posted on Prestige's official website for a week. If everything went smoothly, she would be able to sign the contract and get her prize money after.Cele

After not seeing each other for so long, Celeste and Lawrence went to a café to catch up."I heard about what happened to your mother after I came back to the country. I've been looking for you all this time," Lawrence said straightforwardly."Oh."Her mother's suicide wasn't a secret. Naturally, Celeste wasn't surprised that Lawrence knew about it. She proceeded to order an espresso for herself and a flat white for Lawrence."You've changed a lot in half a year, but it seems like your taste in coffee is still the same." Lawrence watched as Celeste expressionlessly downed the thick espresso in one shot.He frowned at the thought of the bitterness."Have I changed?" Celeste couldn't hold back from asking. She laughed at the expression on Lawrence's face."Yes. You used to smile a lot, and you were a very easygoing person. Although you smile a lot now, there's no more light in your eyes."Of course, Lawrence only assumed that Celeste's sadness over her mother's death had caused

The car slowly drove off, and Lawrence faded into the distance. Only then did Celeste look at Damon."Mr. Bishop, are you trying to put me on the spot by telling a handsome guy my private business? If you've already reached your goal, could you let me go now?"The left side of her face was visibly swelling up. She looked like a battered damsel in distress.Damon didn't answer her. Instead, he pulled Celeste toward him and kissed her without any explanation."Hey! Let go of me! You're the one who told me not to bother you. But look at what you're doing now!" Celeste was mad now, and she wouldn't let Damon have his way. She struggled with all her might and sunk her nails into Damon's flesh.Up front, Liam drove while he kept his eyes on the road. With all his effort, he ignored the behavior of the two people in the backseat.It was only after Damon put up the screen that Liam finally relaxed."Don't move." Although Damon's arm hurt from Celeste's nails, he didn't let go of her

When Shannon walked through the door, this was the sight she was met with.Clothes were scattered all across the first-floor living room. She could also hear the pants of desire that showed no signs of stopping.Naturally, Shannon shrieked.Celeste and Damon paused their actions. Reacting quickly, Damon pulled the blanket from the couch and wrapped Celeste up in it."Shannon, you should go out first.""Damon, you've never even touched me! You said you wanted our first time to be perfect and saved it for after we got married! How could you …"Shannon briefly lost her voice as she cried.On the contrary, Celeste seemed completely unbothered as she got up from the couch. She padded barefoot on the marble floor, picked up her scattered clothes, and slowly put them on."You two talk. Bye." She didn't panic at all even after getting caught in the act. In fact, her mood had taken a great turn."Megan, let's go out. I'll buy you a drink." As she walked off, she gleefully called Mega

Back at the York residence, Shannon tearfully told Henry of Celeste's "crimes" as Hannah added fuel to the fire. Hannah was in a bad mood herself."This is the shameless daughter Sylvia raised! She even tried to steal her own sister's fiancé! Henry, aren't you going to do something about this?" she prattled on."Now, look! If the Bishop family really goes against the marriage agreement, Shannon and the York family will both be done for!"In the past, Sylvia had been pregnant and unable to care for Celeste. Hannah had to ensure that her daughter could marry into the Bishop family. Thus, she used any means necessary to force Sylvia to leave with five-year-old Celeste.The only thing Hannah hadn't expected was that Jamesn had left more than just paperwork for the marriage agreement. He had also given Celeste an emerald pendant as a token of the agreement. It was because of this token that Hannah had hounded Sylvia all these years."I always told you not to push Sylvia into a co

After she left Damon's villa in the afternoon, Celeste didn't expect to be going back there again in the wee hours of the morning."Henry York, you piece of trash … You're not even human," she incoherently mumbled as she lay in the backseat of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan."What?" Damon thought he'd heard someone's name."Henry York! A piece of trash who's barely human!" Celeste said again.Henry York? As in Shannon's father?"You know Henry York?" Damon asked with faked nonchalance as he drove."Why would I know that piece of trash? I won't acknowledge him. And it's not just me. Cal won't, either! He should fucking go to hell!"Suddenly, Celeste slid off the seat and vomited all over Damon's car.Damon was a clean freak, so his car was always spotless. The alcohol-tinged smell of puke made him frown."Celeste York!" he shouted. When he stopped the car at a corner and looked back at Celeste, he found her already passed out.Was Celeste a pig? How could she fall asleep when it s

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
