Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 192
Henry was trying to get on Celeste's good side, whereas Shannon was tasked to ask Leah for help. Before, Leah had passed on the wrong message to Serena. And although it had no direct relation with the attack on Damon, it had caused a drift between Damon and Serena. Not only that, Serena had looked into Sylvia's background after the incident and found out that Sylvia brought up her two kids on her own after being divorced. And instead of having "indecent behavior" as what Leah described, Sylvia actually worked as a professional voice interpreter. Henry, on the other hand, allowed Hannah to manipulate his own son's heart transplant surgery process. He wasn't a good man at all. Because of this event, Serena was made into a horrible person for no reason. She felt that she had fallen into Leah's trap again. Hence, she now looked at Leah differently. Meanwhile, Leah tried to gauge Serena's reaction by checking up on her day and night. And judging from how Serena was acting colder

After Serena had given Leah the cold shoulder, Leah was angry after leaving the Bishop residence. When she called Shannon back, her tone was unfriendly. But Shannon needed Leah's help, so she suppressed her emotions. Then, she told Leah that there was a prefabricated building in the North functioning as a medical center. Apparently, the Sullivan family had been business partners with the authorities there for a few years. So, the York family hoped that John could connect them to the medical center for business relations. After hearing Shannon out, Leah asked with a frown, "Why should I help you, Shannon?". Shannon became anxious. "Ms. Sullivan, we're on the same boat now. If the York Group goes out of business, it would be harder for you to fight alone to win Damon's heart." "Are you threatening me now?" Leah was already frustrated because of Serena, but after hearing what Shannon had said, she'd hit the roof. Shannon then went straight to the point. "Leah Sullivan, you

Nicholas was dumbfounded. What kind of reason was that? Damon had always been cold and arrogant. So, hearing this from him sent shivers down Nicholas' spine. "The last time I heard such a thing was from some random woman. What a hopeless romantic you are." Nicholas couldn't help but complain. "I don't need you to be here. If there's nothing else you have to say, get the hell out of here—" Damon's face was dark as he was about to shoo Nicholas away. But in the next second, his face softened, and his tone became a little gentler when he saw Celeste was walking out of the therapy room. All the anxiety on her when she'd just arrived was gone. However, she might have cried since her face was pale, and her eyes were slightly red. "Are you feeling better? You have no idea how worried Damon is," Nicholas said. Damon gave Nicholas a warning glare. Then, he took off his coat and put it on Celeste. "Let's go back home." On their way back, the two said nothing at the start. Cel

Carly Bishop came back to Taverdale after ending her studies earlier than expected. Leah heard about this from Jasper after they had an intense lovemaking session in the hotel. She couldn't process what was going on. Carly was Damon's cousin and Kayden's elder sister, and she'd been studying abroad all these years. "Once Carly arrives, we shouldn't meet each other in secret anymore." Jasper leaned against the headboard and smoked. He told Leah about this as if he was just talking about the weather. But Leah didn't understand this. After all, Jasper being good friends with Damon for so many years had never stopped him from sleeping with her. "How does her coming back here have anything to do with us?" Leah asked."Don't you know why she's coming back?" There was mockery in Jasper's eyes when he looked at Leah. He didn't like how she was asking a question that she already knew the answer to. "My family's hoping that I'll marry Carly." Jasper then slowly put on his shirt.

When they reached the Bishop residence, Nick and his family had already arrived. When Serena saw Celeste, her smile instantly disappeared. Celeste was also reminded of what had happened the last time, so she had resentment toward Serena as well. Celeste smirked without even greeting her. "Celeste, I want a hug!" The one that was the happiest to see Celeste was Kayden. The moment she reached the house, he leaped out of his mother's arms. Stretching his chubby arms out, he asked Celeste for a hug. After a few months of not seeing him, he'd grown a lot chubbier. "Long time no see, Kayden." Celeste reached out to carry him. She pinched his fat cheeks, and her gloomy mood became much better. Speaking of which, it was all thanks to Kayden who'd acted as her witness and spoke up for her when she got slandered by Leah. Looking at how adorable and chubby Kayden was, Celeste wondered if Damon had looked like this when he was younger too. Celeste liked seeing him so much. "It's

Carly clearly wanted to embarrass Celeste when she mentioned how Shannon was a daughter of a parvenu before asking Celeste about her own family.If a daughter of a parvenu was considered too lowly to marry into the Bishop family, what about Celeste? "Carly!" Damon's face turned cold. Meanwhile, Celeste was focused on her food. Noticing that Damon was about to get angry, she stuffed some food into his mouth and gave him a reassuring look. Touched by Celeste's gesture, Damon also stopped talking and started eating instead. "My parents passed away, and I have a younger brother at home. I'm not from a rich family, so it's only natural that you've never heard of me," Celeste said.Kayden ogled at Celeste when she fed Damon food, so Celeste forked some food and fed Kayden as well, all while calmly answering Carly's question. "You're quite a confident woman then. You're from such a family background, yet you dared to go after Damon." "Be quiet, Carly!" Sensing the situation, B

"I'm not going to eat anymore!" Hearing how her own parents weren't siding with her, Carly threw the cutleries down and left angrily. "Celeste, she's just too spoiled. I'll punish her when we get back home. Don't take her words to heart …" For a moment, the atmosphere at the dining table was ice-cold. When Becky saw her daughter throwing a fit as she left, she felt nothing but embarrassment and hurriedly apologized to Celeste. "I'll ask her to visit you and apologize," Nick also said with an awkward look. "It's okay. What she thinks of me isn't important," Celeste replied.She was stating the truth. To her, Carly was just a stranger that had crossed paths with her in life. No matter how Carly judged her, it wouldn't be worth her effort to get hung up. "You should watch your behavior if you don't want other people to talk bad about you." Serena snorted. "I wouldn't be able to stop anyone from slandering me no matter how well-behaved I am anyway."Recalling the upsettin

Celeste smirked. There was mockery in her eyes, but she didn't say a word. Damon's heart was hurt when he saw that. "What should I do?" He sighed, wanting to kiss her teary eyes. But under his coat, Celeste quietly dodged him, clearly repelled. What Carly had said and done to Celeste was utterly unnecessary during dinner. And although Celeste hadn't let Carly get her way by winning all the arguments, Celeste didn't deserve to be treated that way.Serena's words had upset her too. After being verbally attacked by both of them, it would only be natural for her to talk back to Serena. Damon gave it some thought.Celeste had always been a forthcoming person. But not only did he not stand up for her, he'd even told her not to be on edge. His response was indeed a little overboard. Celeste should be angry. Damon was ready to coax her once they reached home, but Celeste gave him no chance to do so at all. If she'd lash out at him, he could still coax her with words, ge

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
