Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 171
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

Damon was only focused on Celeste. He didn't even realize it when Nicholas and Jasper left. The bed in the VIP ward was big and soft. Since Celeste was thin, there was a huge space beside her. Damon quietly lay beside her. He watched her while propping up his head with his uninjured hand. That woman wouldn't even contact him when she was badly beaten up. And the first thing she said to him on the phone was that she had no feelings for him. That he'd be dumb to save her life. What a woman. After she was removed from danger, she dashed back into the house again. What was she thinking? Bruises and bloody wounds were all over her face. Some skin on her nose had fallen off. Damon told the nurse to check her body. There were bruises on her stomach after being kicked with leather shoes. Her thighs were scraped too. Damon didn't even bat an eyelid when he watched the doctor extract the bullet from his arm. But his heart ached when he looked at Celeste's injuries. Celeste had cont

Henry had hidden Caleb in a residential housing near Barlett Lake. When he woke up, someone lied to him. They said that Celeste told him to wait for her there. When Celeste never showed up, Caleb realized that something was wrong when he saw Henry instead. He had never seen Henry before. But he could immediately tell that this man with a fake smile on his face was his father. "Henry York, you won't be able to threaten Celeste with me." That was all Caleb said. After that, he stopped eating and drinking, starting a hunger strike. Henry wasn't concerned about Caleb at all. He only visited Caleb once. Afterward, the guards told him that Caleb wasn't eating anything. Dismissively, Henry merely said that it wouldn't matter if Caleb missed a few meals. By the time Damon and his men found Caleb at the location Shannon told him, Caleb was already so weak that he could collapse at any time. "Damon." He smiled weakly at Damon before he blacked out. Henry wasn't there. With a cold e

The York family just suffered from great losses because of the Radcliffe Group's project. They wouldn't be mad enough to be enemies with the Bishop family now. It was clear that Henry was the one who brought Caleb away. But he might not have partnered up with Felix. Damon considered that. He sent someone to interrogate Felix. To his surprise, Felix also seemed to be threatened by someone else. He insisted that it was the York family who hired him and nobody else. Who else would know about Henry kidnapping Caleb? It could only be Leah, who always exaggerated the things she said to Serena! But Leah wouldn't partner up with Felix to kill him. She'd gain no benefits from killing him. Before Damon could go ask Leah about this, she came here on her own accord. "Are you alright, Damon? I was so scared after hearing what happened. I even dreamed about you being in danger." It was as if she didn't see the unconscious Celeste on the bed at all. She teared up the moment she saw Damon.

Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 753
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
