Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 264
Celeste was detained at a small temporary detention center south of Taverdale. According to the people who arrested her, Henry insisted that someone had enticed him to smuggle. She had a clear motive, so the police highly suspected her in this case. The room was small and narrow. There was no window either. When it was time to turn on all the lights in the center, there wasn't even a tiny light source in the room. After the door was closed, everything became pitch-black. Celeste was brought to the center this morning. She waited quietly on the chair to be sent on trial. But nothing happened even after she waited till night. Although she had been mentally prepared for this, she couldn't help feeling anxious when it actually happened. Nobody came to interrogate her. But there was someone who brought food for her. Seeing how she didn't touch the bread and soup from lunch, he asked if she didn't like the food out of kindness. His friendliness made Celeste feel like laughing. An

Celeste didn't put on an act to resist him. Instead, she took the cigarette and took a slow drag. The scent of nicotine calmed her down gradually. "It's not smart of you to visit me at this hour." Her voice was low and hoarse. There were two slits on her dry lips as she didn't have any water for a whole day. The slits were evident even under the dim lights. Damon went over to steal the half-smoked cigarette from her. He smoked on it before sealing her lips with his. The mixture of the sweet and tobacco sweet in her mouth stirred Damon's emotions. He slowly pressed her up against the wall. Her lips were rough from neglect. It turned him on even more. Celeste didn't expect Damon to get turned on in the visitor's room. She was startled. She had no energy to struggle because she didn't eat at all. The difference in strength and the longing she had for him deep down made her whimper. She let him do what he wanted. The two made out for a long time. Celeste's dry mouth was moi

"Celeste York, what if I get angry and increase your sentencing?" Damon's eyes went cold instantly. He lost all desire, and his tone became icy. Celeste's face was still flushed. But she had gone back to her indifferent self. "You won't." "Even if I'm not your ex-wife and am just a regular woman who slept with you, you wouldn't do that." Living with him for a year made her understand Damon's personality somewhat. He was a natural-born leader, but he wasn't as cold as he appeared. He was decisive and assertive, yet he was kind deep down. They were similar in that aspect. It was just that Damon was more sensitive and considerate. Celeste, on the other hand, had developed a powerful sense of intuition since she was young. She wouldn't be bothered by trivial things at all. It wasn't bad for her to behave that way to live a good life. The reason why she dared to threaten Damon to divorce her with suicide was because she knew Damon wouldn't let her die. She won the bet.

At first, Celeste was just feeling dizzy from the fever. It became so bad that she couldn't differentiate between day and night. In the end, Celeste felt thankful that they didn't have to work like inmates in jail. If not, her body certainly wouldn't be able to take it. But did that mean she wouldn't get bullied, have horrible meals, and get sick in jail? It would only get worse. She was the one who chose this path. Apart from getting through this, she had no other choice. In a daze, Celeste felt like she was in a pair of cold arms. She couldn't open her eyes. Nor could she smell anything while having a fever. But she could tell who was hugging her. She was probably dreaming. For someone with a bad temper like Damon, he wouldn't come over anymore after having fights like that with her again and again. She didn't have to bear any responsibility toward him in the dream. It was great that he wouldn't force her to marry him again. Celeste leaned further into Damon's arms in

She wasn't a picky eater and had no food allergies either. But she had a feeling that Edna was the one who made this toast. The staff was startled. "I'll go ask." Soon, he actually brought a cup of espresso over. "Thank you. After I get released from the detention center, I'll send you some gifts." Celeste's smile grew wider. The coffee was just a test to see if the staff would oblige to what she said. It seemed that she was safe now. The crisis would be resolved soon. Not long after breakfast, someone yelled at the door. "Celeste York, you have a visitor." "Okay." Celeste followed the guard and walked outside. She knew who it was without anyone telling her. Technically speaking, inmates who hadn't been on trial weren't allowed to see any visitors. She wondered how people like them would be able to get their way. Celeste lifted her head to observe. The light on the surveillance camera was on. In the visitor's room, the two looked at each other for a long time. "Mega

"To someone as smart as Mrs. Bishop, she'd understand everything once she saw the fresh toast for breakfast," Liam said. "She even asked for coffee?" Asking for coffee was probably her testing the limits of how far she could go. If he could bring himself to push this woman away, he would've let her suffer for a few more days! Thinking of Celeste filled Damon with anger. She knew just what he was thinking. He wouldn't ignore her if he had a way to save her from the situation. He was never the one to lead their relationship from the start. It was always that woman who decided to marry or even divorce him. She might have felt like she owed him a favor since she was just using him in the beginning. But she felt no such burden anymore toward the end. After all, she had repaid him with everything she did for him afterward. She took a bullet for him, suffered from miscarriage, and tried to kill herself with a nail clipper just to make sure he wouldn't get dragged into this matte

Celeste only spent seven days at the detention center. There was no interrogation nor trial. On the seventh day, she was politely escorted out as if nothing had happened. This matter concluded with Henry being sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment and fines. Bernie's crime wasn't as serious, and he claimed ignorance. He received just one year of suspended sentencing. That meant that he would be absolved from the matter if he didn't commit any crimes for a year. Celeste knew Damon must have gotten involved for this matter to be solved swiftly. But she didn't know the extent of how much he did. She owed him too much. She couldn't repay him with anything at all. When Celeste exited the door of the detention center, Megan was already waiting outside. Megan made great preparations to welcome her. Dozens of expensive cars parked outside with a banner hung on them, celebrating Celeste's release from the detention center. Megan came out of the car and put on a crown for Celeste

Although he didn't provide much context, Liam surprisingly understood what Damon meant. "I've contacted them. Mrs. Bishop's teacher says she has already emailed her asking if she should continue her studies. She could delay her studies till the next spring at the latest." Damon nodded. His eyes grew darker. He still had six months left till spring next year. It was enough for him. Leaning against the leather seat in the shotgun, he closed his eyes. In the past, he had allowed her to lead their relationship. But he wouldn't let her do that anymore. …"Dear Celeste, I'm currently tutoring five students now. I'm afraid I can't help you to complete your studies. Two of my students will graduate in March next year. If you have plans to continue your studies, you're welcome to come back by then." Reading the email from her teacher, Celeste didn't know what to do for a moment. She finally managed to take her revenge. The first thing she did was to bring Caleb to her mother's gr

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
