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
According to Leah, Henry had kicked Celeste's mother out of the house because of her indecent behavior. As Henry's eldest daughter, Celeste didn't get anything at all from Henry. Out of anger, she stole Shannon's fiance from her. Leah exaggerated to Serena about how Celeste had seduced Damon. She added, "No daughter from a decent family would do such a thing. It must be why Damon thinks it's refreshing to be with someone like her." "No wonder she's such a shameless woman. Like mother, like daughter!" Serena blew a fuse when she heard about this. She didn't know all the details about how Celeste got together with Damon. Now that she knew, she couldn't suppress her anger. How could a woman like her be the daughter-in-law of the Bishop family? "Henry is on bad terms with his daughter, but he brought his son back to him this time. Celeste has lived with her brother all her life. Seeing how her father treats her, you can tell just how bad of a person Celeste York must be." Leah pr
As she watched the butler drive away, Celeste panicked. Serena did something like that just to force her to divorce! They knew that Caleb was her only weakness, so they threatened her with his safety! Celeste would just be angry if this was the York family's doing. But now that she knew Serena had partnered up with them, Celeste felt sad. Sad? Celeste was taken aback by this realization. Did she see Serena as part of her family? She was slapped by Serena just a few days ago. Being in a marriage without their families' support was troublesome. She thought that she could ask for Damon's help for this. But now that Serena was involved too, Celeste couldn't possibly force Damon to fight with his own mother. Besides … she probably wouldn't have a chance against Serena in front of Damon. Although it was a weekend, Damon went to the company as he had something urgent to deal with. He was busy working till noon when he saw a missed call from Celeste. He then called her. "How'
When Serena received the note written by Celeste, she hit the roof. Celeste had always been rebellious and uncontrollable. She wasn't even willing to act nice in front of Serena, who was her mother-in-law. The more Celeste behaved this way, the more Serena thought that it was right to force them to divorce. "Call Damon and tell him that I'm feeling sick." Serena blocked Damon not long ago, so she couldn't bring herself to call him over. She told the butler to do it instead. Damon had just finished his call with Celeste. He was about to ask Serena what happened between her and Celeste when the butler told him that Serena had fallen sick. He said that she hadn't been eating well for a few days. After work, Damon rushed to the Bishop residence. "Where's Mrs. Bishop?"After entering the house, Damon noticed that Serena wasn't there. He asked the maid. "Mrs. Bishop has been in the living hall for almost half the day. She won't come out no matter how hard we persuade her," the maid
Where did she go? Was she upset because of what he said to her in the afternoon? "Send me Megan's number." Damon texted Jasper on WhatsApp. He quickly sent over the number. "Is Celeste missing?" Damon didn't reply to that. He called Megan. It was noisy over there. When she heard that it was Damon, she mocked, "Of course she's looking for Caleb. What? Did you not know that your mom partnered up with Henry to kidnap Caleb?" "What did you just say?" Damon's expression went cold. "Henry sent someone to drug Caleb yesterday and took him away. Right after Celeste found out, Mrs. Bishop sent her butler over to your place. He told her that Serena would ask Henry to let Caleb go if she divorced you. "Celeste is a dumb woman. She wanted to try looking for Caleb by herself first and save him just so that she wouldn't have to divorce you. What else could she be doing at this moment?" Putting his phone away, Damon blew a fuse. No wonder Celeste asked him that question earlier! …
No, they had guns! Celeste's head spun after being slapped hard. All she could think of was that she couldn't let Damon come here! Now that Felix was left with no other way out, he'd do anything. If Damon came here, it'd be a minor issue if Felix just asked him for money. But Damon might lose his life here. Someone checked her clothes and pulled her phone out of her jeans pocket. "Call him!" The man passed the phone to her. Celeste took it and used all her might to smash the phone against the door. She wanted to smash the phone so that nobody could turn on her phone. "Damn it!" Felix saw through her intentions. He snatched a gun from a man and pulled the trigger at Celeste. Instinctively, she closed her eyes. The bullet brushed past her ears and hit the wall near her. A muffled sound could be heard. These guns were silenced. Trembling, she opened her eyes in fear. "Are you going to call him, you stupid woman?" Felix's minions kicked her when they saw Felix get ang
"Go? Where do you think you're going, Mr. Bishop?" Felix laughed hysterically as if he had just heard the funniest joke ever. "Since I'm the one you want, shouldn't you man up and let my wife go?" Damon saw through Felix. The reason why Felix could boldly give him the address without worrying about being ambushed was probably because they had guns. Felix never intended for Damon to leave here alive. If Felix wanted money, he could have brought Celeste to a secluded spot and had Damon transfer the money to a designated bank account. But Felix clearly wanted Damon dead. Surprisingly, Felix's minions made way for Celeste to leave after he gave them a look. "No!" Determined, Celeste stood still. "Be a good girl." Damon wiped away the blood from Celeste's lips with his fingertips. He then licked it away. "Just go now." Celeste didn't budge. "Please throw my wife out of here." Damon turned to Felix. Damon was not panicking at all. And Celeste didn't seem as flustered as he im
