Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 284
After over ten minutes, Celeste returned to the private room. "Sorry, everyone. I had too much to drink and went to the wrong floor. As a punishment, I'll have another glass." Smiling, she said to everyone. She raised her glass calmly. Everyone didn't know what happened. Seeing Celeste's cool-headed attitude, they didn't doubt a word she said. "I thought you got scared by us and ran away." "Cheers, Ms. York." "You're such a cool woman, Ms. York." …Everyone got excited again. Someone made a harmless joke, and the rest laughed. Celeste raised her glass and laughed as well. She turned her head around to look at Spencer. He was the only one who didn't smile. He seemed cold and down like usual again. Only then did Celeste realize he hadn't spoken a word since she returned to the private room. Perhaps he was unhappy with her for leaving so long. Celeste thought about all the things Damon did to her in the bathroom. She blushed. …After Damon came out of the bathroom, h

Spencer followed Celeste not long after she left the private room. The reason why he didn't walk to her right away was because he saw Damon. The two didn't come out of the bathroom after they entered. It was clear what they were doing inside. He went after them. He then heard some soft noises from the bathroom stall. He couldn't describe how he was feeling. But it was suffocating. She was just an assistant to him. He shouldn't be angry at her for slacking off for ten minutes when she was supposed to "work". He wasn't in the place to judge whether or not Celeste was shameless or demure. The reason why he was so upset was clearly because the man was Damon! He had had enough of being compared to Damon in every aspect of his life! Damon would always be his nemesis. He was being honest that he didn't initially want to give Celeste the job offer. That was because he didn't want a woman abandoned by Damon. But ever since he saw their interaction in the cafe, he knew that the

"Why did you move out? Did you move out of the Radcliffe residence? Did you have a fight with your dad?" Celeste could tell this had something to do with how Lawrence helped her get out last time. She called over and bombarded him with questions. "I suppose so. That old man's health is worsening day by day. I couldn't be bothered to argue with him," Lawrence said. He sounded like he was in a good mood. "Right. I also invited Megan and a few other friends over. Remember to buy some fish when you come. I'll cook something for you." It was a tradition to have housewarming parties in Taverdale. People would invite their close friends and family to make the atmosphere livelier at their new houses. And so, Celeste had something light for lunch. She then set off to the market to get fish and groceries. Thinking of how Lawrence just moved to a new place, she bought two pots of green plants. She told the florist to deliver them straight to his new house. Lawrence had moved to a loft a

Celeste was clearly trying to make things difficult for Carly. Megan and Lawrence knew her too well, so they were willing to play along. "I don't need you to do that." Celeste glared at him with a half-smile. "Did you add coriander here? I don't like coriander." Since when did she dislike coriander? Didn't they just forget to buy coriander? Lawrence thought quickly. He then rapped Celeste's head with his spoon. "I've known you for so many years. How could I forget that you don't like coriander?" Celeste stuck her tongue out naughtily. "Just let her be." Megan laughed at the side while giving everyone a look. "Now you know why there's no coriander in all the other dishes." Everyone then realized. "Oh, should we call you Mrs. Radcliffe from now on then?" One of them joked. "Here, let me toast to you, Mrs. Radcliffe." The second guy followed suit. Carly finally couldn't take it anymore. "Celeste York, you just divorced Damon not long ago. Yet, you're already seducing L

Celeste had a weird feeling. That was the man who cornered her in the bathroom stall and did all those things to her. But he acted like he didn't know her at all at present. Megan and Lawrence's faces also paled when they saw Damon. Meanwhile, Celeste suppressed her discomfort and pretended as if nothing happened. Seeing Carly leave, she then raised her glass at everyone. "The troublemaker has left. Let's have more drinks and not ruin the mood." Carly's appearance was just a minor disturbance. It didn't ruin the overall atmosphere. Everyone had drinks till 11:00 pm. Celeste and Megan helped each other to walk out of Lawrence's house. "Lawrence, thank you," Celeste thanked Lawrence softly. "You don't have to. We need to teach Carly a lesson. She's been crossing the line these days. I'm unlucky enough to be targeted by someone like her," Lawrence said without a care. Megan laughed. "Perhaps Mr. Radcliffe is just too attractive!" The two walked out of Lawrence's place. Mega

"Why are you not home sleeping at this hour? Are you patrolling the neighborhood?" A tall and slender figure approached her. It was Damon. He was smoking while standing underneath the streetlight. He looked at her from above. "Why are you everywhere?" Celeste frowned. She thought that Damon should be lecturing Carly at the Bishop residence. She didn't realize when her mood lightened up a little. "Celeste, you've been drinking so much every day. What a mess you are." Damon said out of the blue. He approached her. He pressed her against the streetlight. "Why do you care whether or not your ex-wife drinks? Damon, are you a god or something?" Celeste insulted him. "Aren't you drinking because you've been in a bad mood ever since we divorced? Hmm?" Damon's face magnified in Celeste's eyes. He pecked Celeste's wet lips. Celeste dodged him quickly. "Damon, why aren't you considering I might be celebrating?" "Since when do you hate coriander in your food?" Damon wasn't about to

Everything Celeste knew about working as an assistant was from Liam. But she knew that her job scope was different from Liam's. Liam's assistance for Damon was more toward Damon's work in the company. She, on the other hand, was technically Spencer's assistant. But she was also working as his Tavernese teacher and nanny. But the point was that Spencer didn't seem to be that kind of person from the outside. Spencer was born with a cold and distant face. If Damon was someone exuding an oppressive and condescending aura, Spencer was best described as cold and depressing. People in the jewelry industry always joked that Spencer, the genius in jewelry design, was anti-social. He looked at everyone as if they were dumb. Anyone would feel lame while being around Spencer. But after a few days of interaction with him, Spencer's behavior didn't quite fit the impression people had of him. Celeste's only working experience was with the Prestige. She couldn't understand how staff should

"Spencer Hunt, the founder of Leo Jewels, has started a new relationship…" "Here's the reason why Spencer came back to Taverdale…" "Celeste York and Spencer Hunt." It was noon on the second day when Celeste saw the trending searches. "You're good at this, Cel. Didn't take long for you to date a second guy." Megan sent her the link. All the trending searches on Twitter were about how she watched a movie with Spencer. The picture featured her leaning on Spencer's shoulder while being covered in his coat. She was sleeping soundly as the movie ended. On the other hand, Spencer tilted his head and looked at her lovingly. "Isn't Spencer Hunt the king of the jewelry designing industry? He's actually straight!" "Ah, it's obvious he likes her so much. I didn't think someone like him would have that look on his face when he started dating." "Celeste York is Damon's wife!" Someone posted a video interview of Celeste when she was pregnant. "Did Damon's wife, Celeste York, cheat o

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
