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
Damon didn't know how he even managed to get back home. His mind was all over the place. In the car, he struggled to focus on anything. Thankfully, Celeste was still alive. But she was going to leave him soon. She seemed so determined and excited about it. Edna said she cried and laughed before she cut herself in the room. She must have been experiencing another depressive episode. He didn't have time to tell her he had helped her speed up her plan to defeat the York family. When Damon reached the villa, he suppressed his pain and told someone from his company's legal team to come over. "She likes to design jewelry, so pass my shares in Prestige to her. As for this villa, there will be two alternative plans. Prepare an agreement to give her the villa as a gift. But based on her personality, she might not want it. If she doesn't want it, give her two other properties." Damon seemed worn out. He leaned against the chair as he spoke to the legal advisor. "Mr. Bishop, the
Both of them wouldn't back down. To make matters worse, Megan and Nicholas each defended their friend. In the end, Liam became the peacemaker. "Alright, since you two are divorcing amicably, it's not like you won't be in contact with each other from now on. You don't have to calculate everything today. "Mrs. Bishop isn't in the healthiest condition right now, so she wouldn't have the energy to take care of Prestige even if you insist on giving her the shares." As he spoke, he saw no reactions from Damon. He couldn't tell what Damon was thinking from the look on his face. He quickly glanced at Celeste. "As for this corporate building, you don't have to return it to Mr. Bishop in such a hurry. Just pretend that he's lending you the building for now. When the price increases, you can sell it and return it to Mr. Bishop by then. It would still be the same." At that moment, Celeste thought that what Liam said made sense. Since Damon didn't want her to return the building to him,
It was no wonder she had desperately wanted to divorce him for the past two days! She was quiet in the car out of fear that he'd take back his decision if she talked too much! What a mad woman. She nearly lost her life just so that she wouldn't drag her into this! Damon's despondent heart started thumping fast again. He was happy, but his heart ached for her. He was upset by how she wouldn't take better care of herself. This woman was too good at rousing his emotions. "What are you planning to do?" He tried his best to sound calm as he asked in an equally soft voice. "Nothing. That's the best thing about being alone. It doesn't matter if I'm alive or dead. Even if I spend the rest of my life in jail, I'll be happy to accept such an ending." Celeste became determined again. What great news! She never considered his feelings whenever she came to any decision! She even wanted to bear such a big problem all by herself! Damon gritted his teeth in anger. "Celeste, you're
Celeste was ready to spend the rest of her life after divorce without Damon. Hiding in Megan's small apartment, she tried to heal her inner wounds. She wouldn't get out of the house. Henry and Bernie were still being detained at the station. Nobody knew when they would be put on trial. When Bernie got caught, she didn't dare to contact Lewis. She feared that her WhatsApp and phone calls would be tracked and she'd leave evidence. She didn't plan to run away. She had accepted her fate and was ready to be locked up. As for Caleb, she wasn't worried for him. Even without her presence, Caleb would still be fine if Megan and Winstons were there. As Celeste tried to recover from her sadness, she felt conflicted. Nothing happened even after a whole week.She submitted a letter of resignation at Prestige. After all, she got this job because of Damon. It wouldn't be okay for her to appear before him even after they divorced. She was mentally preparing herself to lose her freedom.
