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.
"Let go." Celeste showed no signs of fear. She stared at the girl coldly. "Mrs. Bishop and Ms. Bishop, you're here!" Seeing how Celeste was about to get hurt, Liam spoke at the door. "Ms. Bishop, you signed an agreement promising you'd stay ten feet away from Mrs. Bishop. You're violating the term." "What Mrs. Bishop? She and Damon are already divorced!" Carly yelled. She was dissatisfied with how Liam called Celeste. "Whether or not she's Ms. York or Mrs. Bishop, please remain ten feet away from her. You're the one who promised to do this." Liam hid Celeste away from their view. Liam seemed to have a good temper, as he always had a smile whenever he talked to people. But anyone smart enough could tell that he was practically a representative for Damon. Nobody should offend him. But Carly was dumb. "Who do you think you are, Liam? Our family is the one who pays you for your work!" Carly glared hard at Liam. She raised her hand and slapped him. Liam didn't expect Carly
"Why didn't you dodge Carly when she tried to slap you?" There was still redness on Liam's cheek. There was even a clear scratch near his ear. It was probably caused by Carly's nail. Damon's face darkened. Carly was being too much. If Liam hadn't protected Celeste, would Carly hit Celeste again? With a cold expression on his face, he called Jasper. "Are you still planning to get engaged with Carly?" Jasper was busy doing something. He was taken aback by Damon's question. "I'm fine with it. Isn't Carly the one who keeps trying to delay this matter?" Jasper knew Carly had no feelings for him, but he didn't care. The only reason why he wanted to marry Carly was just because of the Bishop family anyway. "You can get ready then. You'll have an engagement party in three days." Expressionless, Damon said. "Why are you in such a hurry? Did she bully Celeste again?" Jasper knew it all too well. As his good friend, Damon wouldn't have time to think about Carly since he just got
"Look at Carly's face. She looks as if someone's threatening her to get engaged. So many people are here, but she can't even fake a smile. Did all the intelligence in the Bishop family get inherited by the men and not the women?" Megan mocked her on WhatsApp. Celeste laughed at the text. She replied, "But your brother is an interesting man. He knows Carly doesn't like him, yet he doesn't care at all." Jasper was smiling brightly in the video. It formed a huge contrast with the resentful look on Carly's face. "He's always been open-minded in relationship matters," Megan said. Really? Celeste disagreed with that. If Jasper had been this relaxed about love and relationships, he wouldn't remember how cold she was to Damon a while ago. Perhaps everyone had different ways of dealing with relationships. For people who suffered in their lives like she did, they'd feel that there were more important things in this world than love. But it was different for Damon and his friends.
"When will you be leaving then?" Caleb asked her. Megan asked her that a few times as well. Once Henry was sent to jail, nothing much could happen in the York family anymore. Leaving Shannon all alone could be considered a good enough revenge for Celeste. Based on Megan's plan, Celeste should go back to studying. On that day, Megan brought her new VR device over when she visited Celeste. She asked the same thing again. Celeste merely answered, "I'm not in a hurry to do that. Let's wait for a while." She just thought that this matter couldn't be over just like that. Henry must have had a backup plan. "What are you waiting for? Would the York family be free to bother you—" Before Megan finished her sentence, she suddenly looked at Celeste with wide eyes. At that moment, Caleb was wearing the VR glasses. He exclaimed in surprise when he saw all the 5D effects in the device. Judging from the terror on Megan's face, Celeste knew that Megan understood her now. She nodded. "
That wasn't something she could answer easily. Words were stuck in Celeste's mouth. She just hung up the phone. She decided to just drop by the villa. Damon would usually be back home late. If she went there a little later, she would be able to see him. But now that the two had divorced and things ended awkwardly, Damon might want to hide from her out of embarrassment. She wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Celeste thought hard about this. She decided to go over around 8:00 pm. "Mrs. Bishop is here!" The moment Edna saw Celeste, she dashed out to welcome her. She seemed excited and surprised. She didn't know that Celeste and Damon had divorced. She just thought that the two had a fight which resulted in Celeste moving out."Edna, Damon and I are divorced. You can just call me by my name," Celeste said. When she saw Edna, she recalled all the memories here. She felt a surge of sadness. "Ah, I've been so anxious these days for fear that you and Mr. Bishop would divo
Damon looked handsome in his gray linen suit. His handmade leather shoes were polished. Standing at the door, he raised an eyebrow and stared at her. "Anything you need?" Seeing how formal his clothing was, Celeste was startled. All the courage in her was gone the moment she pushed the door open. She suddenly felt awkward. "I-I just want to take my books," she said. She didn't dare to look at Damon's curious eyes. Brushing past him, she went to the bookshelf. Damon followed her behind. Smirking a little, he watched as she quickly packed all her books. "Do you need help?" "Are you in such a hurry to see me leave?" Celeste couldn't take it anymore. She turned around to glare at him. "Aren't we divorced already?" She was upset, and Damon couldn't suppress his smile anymore. "Yeah, you're right." After hearing the cold reply, all her longing for him instantly vanished. She had no reason to be mad at him. They were divorced, yet she still hoped Damon would love and miss
It had been a few days since Celeste visited the villa. They finally came for her. The policeman standing at the door didn't seem ferocious. After showing his police tag, he said politely, "Ms. York, please follow us to the station." Celeste nodded. She stretched her arms out easily, allowing them to cuff her hands. The leading policeman was surprised by Celeste's calmness. He raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you scared?" Celeste put on a relaxed smile. "I forgot to pay the electricity bill yesterday.""You seemed ready for this." "I suppose so." She was mentally prepared for this. She would confess to anything, no matter what the police asked. She just had to conceal anything related to the help she got from those kind people around her. That included Megan, Phillip, Lewis, and most importantly, Damon. Charges for enticement of crimes could vary in terms of severity. Once she confessed, the police would probably ignore the people who had helped her. …Since Megan and Cele
