Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 140
Throughout the entire night, Damon was completely drained from accompanying John on his medical checkup. He was busy for a long while. When Celeste called him, John was undergoing an MRI scan while Leah cried outside. He was feeling irritable, so he ended the call in a rush. It was normal for a cancer patient's health condition to deteriorate. That was because cancer cells would spread in patients with late-stage cancer. But Leah was in such a bad mental state that he could only accompany John in her place. Exhausted, he only left the hospital when it was 9:00 pm. He drove home alone. He didn't know if Celeste was already asleep. Damon then remembered that she had called in the afternoon as if she had to tell him about something important. So as he waited for the red light to turn green, he tried to call her up. He only realized something was wrong when he saw the countless notifications on WhatsApp. Why would Celeste be dealing with Jonah? How could that old bastard dare t

He should've let her talk to him. If he did, she wouldn't have ended up in such a dangerous situation. Celeste merely leaned against the headboard. She tried to recall what happened before she blacked out. She thought about how it started and ended. She could only remember how Winston appeared at the most crucial moment. He saved her from that demon. On the other hand, Damon was accompanying John with Leah! "Haha, thanks for showing up despite being so busy. Don't worry, I won't die. I don't need your care as much as a cancer patient does. You should go." Celeste smiled coldly. She said this while waving Damon away. "Celeste, I made a mistake and left you in danger. But don't drag anyone irrelevant into this." Damon knew that she was still angry. Seeing how weak she was, he explained to her patiently. He thought that she should get a checkup done during the daytime so that there wouldn't be any negative complications. As for Jonah Radcliffe … Viciousness flashed across Damo

Jonah arrived at where he and Shannon were staying together. "Why are you back so early?" It was already midnight when Shannon heard the door slam open. When she went out to welcome him, she saw how swollen Jonah's face was from where he was hit. She was terrified. Jonah slapped Shannon with all his might. Shannon fell onto the ground. She let out a shriek in pain. "Shannon York, how dare you scheme against me!" The usual fake smile was no longer there on Jonah's face. He finally showed his true colors. "I didn't! Let me explain!" Seeing the look on Jonah's face, he certainly didn't get to do what he wanted. Covering her face which was hot from being slapped, Shannon claimed that she was innocent. After spending some time lying on the ground, she struggled to get up. "That's not true at all!" "Not true? You told me that Damon doesn't care for Celeste at all. That's bullshit!" Jonah's eyes were all bruised from being punched so badly. He had been publicly embarrassed.

The moment Celeste woke up, she called Winston to thank him. Winston had just moved to Taverdale to expand his business not long ago. Yet, he beat up Jonah for her sake. This might affect him negatively in the future. She felt bad for this. But Winston was unbothered. He even joked in their call, "If you're so grateful, remember to spare some time and buy me a meal next time." "Of course I will!" Celeste was much more relieved because of his relaxed attitude. Then, she washed up and went to see Lawrence. She didn't know Damon didn't head to the company either. He had gone out of his way to bring the important files back home to work on them. Damon was looking at the bidding documents for a project in the study when he heard noises from the bedroom. Then, he heard someone walking down the stairs. "Edna, I'll be eating outside for lunch. You don't have to prepare food for me." Celeste quickly changed in the walk-in wardrobe. She then came out and spoke to Edna, who was busy

He was so angry that he skipped the foreplay and went inside her roughly. Celeste's resistance felt like nothing to Damon. When he finally got frustrated at what she was doing, he took his tie off and tied her hands above her head. He knew that she had said all of that just to make him angry. But he was an extremely possessive man especially when it was related to Celeste. The thought of how Winston and Lawrence treated her so well drove Damon crazy. Celeste wasn't someone who'd let another do whatever he wanted to her. When she felt some pain, she got angry too and bit his neck hard. She bit him with all her might. It hurt Damon's neck. But he merely stopped for a second before continuing with what he was doing. Nothing could stop him. Celeste only let go of his neck after she tasted blood in her mouth. "You're a bastard, Damon," she scolded him hoarsely. "I'll be a bastard just for today." Damon lowered his head and attacked her lips. The next morning, they both s

Damon was someone with well-executed plans. In just a week, Celeste found out what he meant on the Ferris wheel. Liam passed a stack of property deeds and keys to Celeste. "What are these?" Damon was on a business trip, so Celeste was home alone during the weekend. When she saw Liam carrying a whole bag of property deeds, she was taken aback. "Mr. Bishop said that you like the Golden Nexus, so he bought the whole building for you," Liam said. He pulled out a pile of signed agreements. "There are twenty floors in this building and forty offices. Half of them are rented out. Here are the rental contracts. You should keep them safe." Damon actually bought the super-expensive Golden Nexus just for her as a gift! Celeste accepted the contracts, her hands trembling slightly. Jonah had paid her 300 million dollars as damages a few days ago. Although she accepted the money in the name of Prestige, after deducting the 100 million dollars as payment for the business deal, the rest

"Damon does treat me quite well." Celeste took a picture of that stack of property deeds and shared it with Megan. "But would I seem pretentious if I said that I'm not interested in money?" "I know you the best. You really aren't interested in money," Megan replied. "But I've been facing a similar issue these days." What did she mean? Did something happen? Celeste became curious. Her eyes lit up as she started a video call with Megan. "Tell me about it!" Did her hot best friend finally meet 'the one'? "It's Mr. Belasco. I cleared his bill the last time he came to my club for drinks. But he guaranteed an entire year of revenue for Hooch Trading as thanks." Hooch Trading was an alcohol trading company under Megan's management. Their business mainly focused on the alcoholic beverages that were popular amongst youngsters. Their drinks ranged from cheaper ones such as Jagermeister to expensive ones like Cognac. They had almost every kind of alcohol one could think of. The amou

When Damon went on a business trip, Celeste could barely get used to falling asleep without him by her side. Soon, she was having insomnia again. When she lay down around 9:00 pm, she fell into a restless sleep an hour later. She woke up from a nightmare at 11:00 pm. With her eyes wide open, she could no longer fall back asleep. She pulled her phone out so that she could look at Twitter. She received a notification. It was a friend request on WhatsApp. The person in the profile picture and her name were familiar. It was none other than Leah. She accepted her request and sent a question mark to her. "Celeste, is that you?" She sent a screenshot from Twitter over to Celeste. The caption was "Bumped into a beautiful couple on the Ferris wheel. Didn't manage to capture their faces from the front, but they were stunning!" In the picture, Damon's hand was on Celeste's waist as they walked out of the pod. The two were talking about something. Their foreheads were touching. It

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
