Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 160
Damon was already filled with rage before the conversation. He was worried about Celeste being at home too. Now that his best friends had come here to convince him on behalf of his mother, how could he possibly accept such a thing? Nobody could take Celeste away from him! "Ah, we're just doing this to show Mrs. Bishop some respect. That's why we came over to talk to you. It's just an errand." Seeing that the situation was worsening, Nicholas hurriedly got up and pulled Jasper's sleeve. He tried to ease the tension. "Damon, we'll be leaving now. Don't worry, I think you and Celeste are a great match." Without waiting for Jasper to react, Nicholas dragged him out of the office. On their way to the underground parking lot, Jasper's face was as hard as steel. He was angry about what Damon said. Nicholas had driven them both here, so he had to send Jasper back home too. The drive from Bishop Group to Jasper's company was quite long. At first, the two were silent. When the sk

On the other hand, Celeste was growing more desperate to get out. But the more desperate she was, the harder it was for her to think straight. She was so used to suppressing her emotions that she didn't realize how strange it was for Liam to be by her side at this time. "Mrs. Bishop, it's no use for you to sit there and do nothing. You should try talking to Mr. Bishop." Looking at her expressionless face, he sighed and tried to convince her. Damon was still angry at her. Besides, he was being pressured by Serena to divorce her. How could that be solved just by talking to him? Celeste couldn't think of any solution. She was panicking. She was so overwhelmed by all those emotions that she couldn't hold it in anymore. "Liam, please pass me the medical kit." After bandaging her wound, Edna didn't take the medical kit with her when she left. Liam didn't know what Celeste was up to, but he handed it to her. Celeste's hands were cuffed, which made it hard for her to open the kit

"Mrs. Bishop." Celeste had not seen Serena ever since she attended Serena's birthday celebration. Now that Serena was here, it was only natural for her to greet her politely. She knew that Serena had come to scold her. But she wasn't afraid of Serena at all, so she didn't bother to sound humble. "Is this how you should greet your elder, Celeste York?" Serena threw the teacup, which hit Celeste's shoulder. It fell onto the ground with a "crack". Celeste looked around. Edna wasn't around. Serena probably found an excuse to make Edna leave the house. A few bodyguards stood at the entrance of the house. They were not the ones working at their house. "We're in the 21st century. Are you expecting me to bow at you when I greet you?" She thought that she was being polite enough. Serena was obviously trying to cause a scene by asking her that question. Her shoulder was hurting. It would probably become swollen. "You've been married to Damon for a few months. Not only have you neve

Damon's net worth was over hundreds of billions. Naturally, he owned more than one property. He was still mad at Celeste last night, so he stayed somewhere else. He felt empty when he woke up in the morning. Most of his anger had now vanished. He should head back home. Liam said that Celeste took some pills for depression yesterday, so Damon didn't know what her situation was now. Edna only called him once to tell him that she didn't want to eat. Now that she had been uncuffed, she would probably eat, right? Damon dealt with some work at the company before returning just so that he wouldn't look too excited to get home. To his surprise, he got a call from the butler at the Bishop residence. He told Damon that Celeste made Serena so angry that she got hospitalized. Seeing how Leah had slandered Celeste previously, Damon didn't rush to conclusions this time. On his way to the hospital, he checked the surveillance footage on his phone. All the surveillance cameras of the house w

Serena had found an excuse earlier to get Edna out of the house, so Edna called Celeste at noon. She said that she was taking a day off because her husband broke his leg from a fall at the construction site. Celeste's cheek was still swollen. She didn't want Edna to see this awkward side of her, so she transferred a thousand dollars to her. She told Edna to head back to her hometown. Edna was worried about Celeste. She kept telling Celeste to eat well, to which Celeste agreed offhandedly.Damon didn't know that Edna was on leave. When it was dinnertime, nobody came upstairs to knock on his door. So, he didn't head down to eat. Extremely frustrated, he locked himself up in the study. A book on philosophy by Schopenhauer was wide open on the table. It belonged to Celeste. "What's the use of reading all this stuff when she's so pretentious and troublesome?" Annoyed, Damon gritted his teeth. He slammed the book shut and stuffed it back onto her half of the bookshelf. Amongst t

Damon went back to their room after reading her diary. He thought that this woman would go to him and sweetly ask for his forgiveness. He waited for her till midnight, but she never went upstairs. He glanced down from the second floor to find Celeste smoking while curled up on the couch. She smoked one cigarette after another. He had no idea what was on her mind. But she was bathing in the cloud of smoke, looking distant and sorrowful. She was the one who had made a mistake, yet she was waiting for him to comfort her! What a pretentious woman! Damon was annoyed. But he still headed down quickly. "Am I allowed to sleep?" Celeste stared at Damon, who stood before her in his pajamas. Her eyes were unfocused. There was caution and confusion in her eyes. When had she ever acted in this way before? Even if someone placed a knife on her neck, she wouldn't have looked so wary. "Get your ass up here and sleep. Don't waste the electricity down there." After saying that, Damon

In his arms, Celeste wasn't sleeping well. "Don't go!" she suddenly said. That was what she'd always say in her dreams. Damon was used to hearing that. He pressed Celeste's arm against his chest, attempting to comfort her with his strong and steady heartbeat. She was probably dreaming about her dead mother again. Her mother's death had always bothered Celeste. It had created a stress response in her. Damon held the back of Celeste's neck. He thought that he should send her for treatment again. She had been taking pills too frequently these days. "Don't leave me alone, Damon," she mumbled. Damon was taken aback. "Celeste," he called her in a soft voice. "Do you know what you're talking about?" He didn't know if other couples had pet names for each other. He only called Celeste by two names. He would either call her "baby" when they were making love or her regular name on usual days. They were closer to each other than anyone else. But they'd seem distant and awkward at

In the afternoon, Celeste finally understood what Damon meant. The quality inspection was conducted earlier by the officials from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. This caught the York Group off guard. Mason sent Celeste a checklist stating everything that had to be fixed in the afternoon. The total area requiring proper fireproof windows and fire doors was over ten thousand square feet. Celeste made a brief calculation. Coupled with the cost of disassembling the defective materials, Henry wouldn't be able to earn any profit at all. He'd even have to pay out of his pocket for Radcliffe Group's project. Not only did he have to bear the cost on his own, but he also sacrificed Shannon's image for nothing. He had played with fire. Eventually, he got punished for it. Celeste couldn't suppress her joy when she heard about that news. She immediately called Megan to share the good news with her. "Recently, nine people were killed in Womington because of an issue wi

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
