Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 239
Damon's face was tense. He trembled profusely. For a moment, Nicholas and Jasper thought he might pass out. Holding his breath, Damon didn't dare to move forward. Nicholas, who usually hid behind Damon's back, walked over quickly. Standing at the door of the garage, he gasped. "Damon, why don't you, stay there for a bit…" He carefully talked to Damon as he stood there. "We'll send Celeste to the hospital first with the ambulance. You can meet us at the hospital." It was as if Damon couldn't hear him. He dashed past Nicholas and barged into the garage. Celeste had fainted. Her head was covered with blood. She had hit her head against the wall. There was blood between her legs too. That must've been from the baby. There were pictures of Sylvia jumping off the building all over the wall. The pictures were likely screenshots of videos that were presented in high resolution. A few of them were stained with blood. They were most probably torn by Celeste. Nicholas, Jas

"What do you mean?" Celeste was dumbfounded for a moment as she asked quietly. She had already felt that something was wrong. She was just being hopeful. "We'll have more children in the future, my dear." Damon hugged her tight. His arms were shaking. Celeste used all her might to push him away. Still in a daze, she sat up. "So, the baby is gone. Am I right?" "Sorry, I didn't protect you well." Her face was pale and the bandage on her head was stained with blood. She seemed fragile and tiny in the patient gown. Damon's heart ached so much as if someone was throwing daggers at him. He tried to hug her again. "No way. How long have I been sleeping for?" she asked. "Three days." Megan dashed to the bed. "Three days? How would three days be enough for you to pay respect to your 'father-in-law?' Since Mr. Sullivan has passed away, why did you bother leaving Leah behind and come here instead?" Once again, she glanced at Damon. There was resentment and hatred in her eyes.

At this moment, any explanation he made would be useless. Watching how sad and sickly Celeste seemed, Damon's heart clenched. Celeste had always been proud and strong. But now, she was lying on the sickbed, looking so fragile as if she was about to collapse at any moment. How could he have let her suffer from such pain? "You can punish me all you want, okay? Anything. I'll do anything for you," he said. He'd do anything for her as long as she didn't leave him. Didn't turn away from him.He felt as if there were daggers in his heart. He tried his best to remain composed as he talked to Celeste. "I don't want anything but divorce." Celeste insisted. "Celeste, you just woke up, so you might make decisions impulsively. Why don't you get some rest and you can talk about this in a few days?" Nicholas felt that he was considered a close acquaintance to Celeste, so he tried to convince her. Celeste only turned her head away without a word. The next day, Celeste didn't allow Damo

Seeing how someone destroyed the brake system in advance, the culprit must have made foolproof preparations to kill both the driver and Celeste. Celeste barely survived after being locked up in the garage. Damon didn't dare imagine what would've happened if something happened to her and the driver on the road. Even if he couldn't produce any evidence, Damon knew that this must be related to the York family. He just didn't know if there was anyone else involved other than the family. "Keep a close watch on the York family. It's time to attack." Damon's voice was deep and cold. On the other end of the call, Liam couldn't help but shiver. Celeste was hospitalized for a week. Damon would come every day to ask her doctor about her recovery. Then, he'd sit on the bench outside her ward for a whole day. A well-dressed handsome young man had been sitting outside the ward every day like a statue. It attracted a lot of people's attention. "That 'statue' is still sitting there!" Sur

After Celeste made the decision, she became the warrior who could do anything she wanted once again. She didn't want to stay sick in the hospital. Her body was still weak, and her head was still bandaged. Yet, she started to plan what to do after this. "Help me find a house. I don't care about the details as long as it's cheap." In her group chat with Megan and Winston, Celeste told Megan about this. She then tagged Winston and asked him to recommend a reliable divorce lawyer for her. "How much money do you want from him? I know a lawyer who's good at dealing with matrimonial assets. He might be able to ask for half of Damon's property for you." Winston heard about what happened from Megan. He knew Celeste quite well. So he was just joking with her when he asked this question. "I want to know how I can return all the property Damon gave me," Celeste said honestly. "Do you think he'd be happy if you didn't want his money? If you take half his assets or life away, perhaps h

Great. Just great! What a generous woman she was. She tried to return everything he gave her to him. Did she think that she could leave easily without owing him anything after this? After the lawyer left, Damon was brimming with anger as he read the draft agreement. Would she be able to forget all the intimate and loving moments they had for the past few months? She even managed to earn tens of millions of dollars from the rent! She said that she'd give him the extra money she earned as well since he had paid for the capital. She spent quite a lot of his money throughout the time she lived with him. Although she wouldn't be able to calculate it, there was no point in doing that anyway. She even suggested not going to court just to protect his image at a time like this! She was such a calm, rational, and considerate woman! The only thing she didn't mention was their feelings for each other! The more Damon thought about it, the angrier he became. He pushed the doo

"Did he not want the consultation fees anymore?" Megan couldn't help asking when she saw Celeste end the call. "It's obvious that he didn't dare to take my case after being threatened by the almighty Mr. Bishop." Celeste rolled her eyes. "What are you going to do then?" "I'll do it myself." Based on what Celeste knew about Damon, the same thing would happen even if she hired another lawyer. She had a basic understanding of how to transfer property to another as a gift. She could probably handle the rest, it would just take a lot of energy and effort. "You two must be out of your minds. There's so much money here. But you're insisting on giving it back to him, and he's adamant on not taking it," Megan complained. "If we're getting a divorce, we shouldn't owe each other anything," Celeste sighed. …After staying at the hospital for a few more days, Celeste got herself discharged. Megan brought her to a small apartment after that. "My family bought this unit for me when

Damon felt miserable. He went back home unusually early. "Mr. Bishop, Mrs. Bishop has just returned. She's upstairs." Seeing Damon enter, Edna quickly welcomed him. She was finally back. Only then did Damon relax a little. "Ask what she wants to eat and make it for her," he said. "There's no need for that. I'm leaving in a short while," Celeste said politely. She was packing her things up. She walked out of the room when she heard voices. She then stood by the railing on the second floor. The two had been living together for so long. They even shared countless intimate moments. But now, she sounded so polite as if she was an outsider. Damon was hurt. He raised his head to look at her. She was so thin that he could barely see her underneath that gray wool sweater. The sweater clung onto her, making her seem fragile and pale. Instantly, he was overwhelmed with regret. Suppressing his heartache, he walked upstairs. "Are you feeling better? You got discharged so soon.

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
