Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 268
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

Celeste last met Jonah when he tried to sleep with her. It had been almost half a year since then. Back then, he looked a little younger than his actual age. But he had now aged so much. He became much thinner. His cheeks and eyes were sunken. Although he had dyed his hair, he seemed much older. For a man in his 50s, people would believe it even if he said he was 70 years old. "Long time no see, Ms. York." Jonah was in a suit while holding a cross necklace. He watched Celeste with a half-smile. Celeste was untied. She tried to regain her composure. "It's been a while, Mr. Radcliffe." She looked around. They were in a courtyard surrounded by gardens. She wondered if this was where Jonah stayed regularly. Now that they had taken her phone away, she couldn't call the police. Thankfully, Jonah was castrated. He wouldn't be able to sleep with her. Celeste tried to think in a positive light. "The reason why I invited you over was to confirm something." Playing with his necklace

It was Lawrence! After knowing him for so long, it was the first time Celeste thought Lawrence looked dashing. With his back against the light, he looked godly at the garden's gate. "Lawrence, why are you here?" Celeste was surprised as she ran toward Lawrence. "Don't be scared," Lawrence said. He grabbed Celeste's hand naturally and walked out of the place. "Where's your father?" When they reached Lawrence's car, Celeste subtly removed her hand. "I drugged him, and he passed out. He wouldn't wake for some time," Lawrence said. He led Celeste to his car. He even bent down to buckle the seatbelt for her. Instinctively, Celeste avoided him because of how intimate his action was. "I'll do it myself." "Sorry," Lawrence said. Celeste was silent. She then thought about how Jonah had said he wanted to talk to Damon. She sent a WhatsApp text to him. "I'm safe now. If Jonah contacts you, he just wants to use me to threaten you to give him that piece of land. You can ignore h

Damon didn't say a word, his expression cold. Liam quickly came over to explain. "I'll talk to Mr. Radcliffe about the damages. Why don't Mr. and Mrs. Bishop find somewhere to chat?" Celeste wanted to say that she wasn't Mrs. Bishop anymore and that Liam shouldn't call her that. But seeing the murderous look in Damon's eyes, words were stuck in her throat. "Why don't we have a chat upstairs?" The pressure she felt at present was much worse than when she faced Jonah earlier. Damon was silent. But he took the lead and walked to the apartment's entrance. Celeste scanned her card and obediently led him into the lift. They went up. Opening her door, she bent down to change into house slippers. At the same time, she told Damon, "I only have slippers for Caleb. You don't have to change into them. Do you want a drink? I think I only have coffee and water." Damon didn't answer her. Confused, Celeste turned her head. She was caught off guard when Damon pressed her against the shoe

Damon slammed the door closed as he left. Sitting on the couch, Celeste heard how hard the door banged. Helpless, she covered her ears. Why did he look at her that way? Did he want to kill her? It'd be difficult to calculate how much favor she owed Damon. That was why the least she could do was to calculate all the money she owed him. Since they had loved each other before, she hoped they could part ways without owing each other anything. …Celeste was at the finance department of the Bishop Group. "Ms. York, this is how much Mr. Bishop spent on you throughout your marriage. Mr. Bishop ignored all the expenses below a million dollars. So all the significant expenses are listed on this sheet." Theo Jennings, the head of Bishop Group's finance department, was dealing with Celeste. He knew nothing about what happened between the two. When he was doing all the calculations yesterday, he sighed to himself. What was good about marrying a rich man? After divorcing him, they'd c

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
Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 752
"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
