"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

After their golf session that night, Damon's plan of having Celeste wash his feet in a maid outfit didn't work out. Damon couldn't wait for Celeste to get changed at all. "Don't waste any more money on me. It's not worth it." They made love with each other till midnight. Exhausted, Celeste leaned against Damon's chest while playing with her hair, which was damp from sweating. She remembered what happened in the afternoon and brought it up to him. "What are you talking about?" Damon curled his finger and gave her head a hard flick. Damon was in such a good mood after being satisfied. He reached out to hold Celeste's chin up, forcing her to meet his eyes. "Can you tell me in advance before you want to do anything?" "Yes." Celeste's heart skipped a beat under his stare. …The York Group suffered great losses because they failed to fix the fire safety system in one of the Radcliffe Group's projects. They heard that Jonah had been pressured by the board a few times because of t

What? Caleb was taken away by someone named Celeste? Celeste was horrified. The information of the patient's guardian had to be recorded upon the patient's admission. Any visitors would have to register themselves by showing their identity card and could only enter with the guardian's permission. Someone had used a fake identity card with her name to take Caleb away last night! But why would Caleb willingly leave with a stranger? Celeste checked the surveillance footage. A woman wheeled Caleb out of the nursing home's gate around 8:00 pm yesterday. The woman had a mask on. Judging from her appearance, she didn't seem to be someone Celeste knew. On the other hand, Caleb had a hat on. His head tilted to the side as if he was asleep. It was obvious that he was under some sort of substance. Terrified, Celeste was about to call the police when her phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. "Celeste, you don't have to look for him. Caleb's here with Dad. Dad will take good care
