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.
Apart from their first night together, it was the first time Celeste was so proactive. Damon had a bad hunch about this, so he put in even more effort. "We're not getting a divorce. Don't leave me, darling." Brushing his lips against her, he said this repeatedly. Celeste didn't say a word. When she decided on something, she wouldn't turn back. She would divorce him. Celeste kissed him back and hugged him tighter. She wouldn't have a chance to do this anymore. The man whom she fell for would eventually exit her life and leave no traces behind. Would that happen? Would it be as if he had never existed in her life? Celeste was troubled. She didn't know the answer to that. She lost her voice during one climax after another. She didn't even know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, Damon was no longer there. The luggage with which she used to pack her things was open. Everything was restored to its original position. "Rest well. We're not getting a divorce." As us
After Celeste sent Damon a photo of her "achievement" on WhatsApp, she received no reply from him. She sat down alone and sulked. She heard someone knocking on her door. Edna brought a pair of slippers from the outside for her. She placed them by Celeste's feet. Gently, she said, "Mrs. Bishop, Mr. Bishop told me to bring a pair of slippers to you. He said that you're free to smash anything. But be careful to not hurt yourself." "Tell him that I won't hurt myself if he lets me go out." Staring at the slippers, Celeste's heart throbbed. When she just moved in here, she liked to run around the house barefooted. At first, Damon would just leave her be. He'd only force her to wear slippers when the weather turned cold. Celeste told him she would wear them but she didn't. After asking her about it, Damon finally realized the reason. He suspected that Shannon had worn the women's slippers in the villa before, so Celeste was disgusted by the thought of wearing them. "She never wore t
Damon didn't go back home for a few days. He didn't want to admit it, but he knew he didn't dare face Celeste, the woman who wanted to divorce him. He could no longer see his reflection in her eyes. It was embarrassing of him to run away, but it was a useful technique. To prevent Celeste from hurting herself, he told Edna to hide away all the sharp tools at home. He'd let her wreck the house if she wanted to. She could do anything she wished as long as she didn't hurt herself. After all, Celeste didn't grow up in a rich family. She still treasured their belongings deep down. After smashing things for a whole day and getting no reaction from Damon, she lost interest in doing so. He watched the surveillance footage. She even went to the door and argued with the bodyguards. Seeing how she couldn't get through them, she hid in the room and did nothing. "The tall bodyguard was speaking too loudly to her, wasn't he?" Hearing their conversation, he frowned in dissatisfaction. "T
Celeste was instantly full of energy!"Megan, quick, check if this news is true or not!" Ever since she lost the baby, she had been in low spirits. It was the first time she had a smile on her face in days. Megan was quick and effective. Soon, she called Celeste. "It's Henry indeed. He was convinced by someone to smuggle a bunch of fake fire hydrants. This involves a transaction of ten billion dollars!" Celeste's heart thumped hard against her chest. She was trembling in excitement. She finally did it! "Megan, I did it! I finally did it!" She tried her best to take a deep breath and calm down. But she couldn't stop herself from crying. "Yes, you did! You finally avenged Aunt Sylvia." Megan sounded throaty on the other end of the call too. Then, they both started crying out loud. "Are you okay, Mrs. Bishop? Tell me if there's anything you're unhappy about." Edna would drop by occasionally to check on her as requested by Damon. When she heard Celeste crying in the room, she co
When Celeste hurt herself, it wasn't as horrible as the last time. Nevertheless, she did it again. She had never spared herself any mercy on matters like this. But when she cut herself previously, she intended to end her life. This time, she was betting on surviving because of Damon's feelings for her. Damon's face turned pale the moment she slit her artery. He immediately called someone at the villa to send her to the hospital. "Her artery snapped, and she even cut two-thirds of her tendons. If we delayed this any further, we certainly wouldn't have been able to reattach them." Nicholas was the one who operated on Celeste. Although he was used to witnessing worse scenarios, he appeared terrified when he came out of the room. "Just divorce her, Damon. You can't let this go on any longer. Both of you will suffer from this." He placed a hand on Damon's shoulder and advised him. Celeste was simply too ruthless. To someone as carefree as Nicholas, he thought Damon must be tryin
