Celeste wanted to close the door, but Damon was quicker than her. He entered her house. "Are you dating Spencer now?" His chest heaved up and down as he tried to suppress his fury. He pressed her against the door and demanded. He was already angry earlier on. But when he saw Spencer's car parked below her apartment, he hit the roof. Celeste was speechless. "No. That picture was taken while I was asleep." "Does an assistant have to watch a movie with her boss?" They were even leaning on each other! "This seems to have nothing to do with you?" Celeste couldn't help but retort. She couldn't just tell Damon she was just trying to earn some cash by watching a movie with Spencer. Damon would make fun of her. Damon's eyes dimmed. That's right, they were now divorced. Even if she got together with Spencer, what did that have to do with him? Damon felt frustrated. But he couldn't stop himself from speaking harshly. Still pinning her against the door, he gritted his teeth. He sai
Celeste read through the content of the top search briefly. It was a three-thousand-word essay posted by the Bishop Group's official account describing how promiscuous of a woman Celeste was. When she was studying abroad, she left Lawrence hanging and never gave him an answer. After she returned to Taverdale, she pretended to be a staff member and went into Damon's room to get laid. She ruined Damon's original engagement with the heiress of the York family, Shannon. When she saw the founder of Leo Jewels was coming back to Taverdale, she quickly divorced Damon and immediately went after Spencer.There was true and false information. It described Celeste as a woman who tried to climb her way up the social ladder for the sake of status and wealth. And the Bishop family was the victim of the situation! The essay emphasized the part where she seduced Damon. All the timestamps and locations of the event were listed clearly. It was so detailed that it even shared the part of how Shann
"Damon, we must deal with this matter this way!" There was embarrassment on Serena's face, but her tone was assertive. At this moment, sacrificing Celeste could protect the Bishop Group and the benefits of their millions of shareholders. She discussed with the authorities of the Bishop Group about countless strategies. Sacrificing Celeste was the safest option. It was also the one with the highest success rate. Serena thought that if Celeste got angry and started fighting with the Bishop Group on the internet, the popularity of this topic might help them turn things around. She just didn't expect Celeste to endure the slander and play along. When Serena pushed Celeste into danger, Celeste voluntarily accepted it. Serena did feel some guilt. But she thought that she was just acting for the greater good. Discussing this with Damon would just add more pressure on him. "Sacrificing Celeste alone could protect the Bishop family and the pockets of millions of our shareholders. If C
"Transfer the money to her in batches then. Send a portion to her every quarter of the year," Damon said. When Liam knocked on Damon's door the next day, there was an awkward look on his face. Damon lifted his head and looked at him. "Uh… we transferred 50 million dollars to her, but Mrs. Bishop transferred the money right back." "Did she say anything?" Liam seemed troubled as he passed his phone to Damon. "Tell Damon that not everyone cares only about money and benefits." He could even imagine the look on Celeste's face when she saw the money. She had always been a proud woman. This incident must have disgusted her. She'd think the Bishop family only cared about benefits and not relationships. Their action would only appear unscrupulous and unconvincing to her now. As the head of the Bishop family, Damon was certainly viewed in that way as well. He read her message again and again. Being looked down upon by his beloved woman made him feel suffocated. He called he
As a matter of fact, Celeste didn't react much to it. "Aren't you worried about them getting together again?" Megan asked. "We're already divorced. It's up to him who he wants to date. If I go after Damon right now, how would I be any different from Leah?" Celeste was speaking her mind. Once she decided on something, she wouldn't turn back. But when she recalled him saying he would never let her go that day, she felt slightly annoyed. Men would make easy promises, and they'd forget about them soon enough. Celeste suddenly thought of a saying about how women would need time and another man to forget about one man. But men wouldn't need time at all, as all they needed was another woman. Leah had been chasing after him for so long. It would only be natural for her to finally get together with Damon. It was meaningless for her to think of all these. She had already left him. Although it didn't seem decent for Damon to date another woman so quickly, it had nothing to do with her
"You're lying, Celeste." Damon closed in on her as he pressed her against the wall behind her. It hadn't even been half an hour since Celeste got a call from Carly. Celeste was dressed tidily with an indifferent look. There wasn't any weird scent in the room, either. He was confident that he could determine whether a woman had slept with another man before seeing him. "Damon, I'm surprised you're as dumb as Carly." Celeste crossed her arms calmly with a look of mockery. Damon finally calmed down. That was true. He lost all his intelligence when overwhelmed by jealousy just now. He was so anxious that he even came to check on her while still in his pajamas. Damon felt a little embarrassed. "Get out!" When Damon was spacing out, Celeste became mad and pushed him outside. "Celeste!" Damon wasn't someone who would give in so easily. Hot-headed, he stretched his hand out right before her anti-burglary door closed. His palm was stuck in the doorframe. Damon let out a grunt, h
"Your palm is fractured. I need to perform surgery on you to drain the excess fluid before applying a cast." At midnight, Nicholas was in Davidson Hospital. His head hurt as he looked at the X-ray of Damon's hand. "Listen to me. Since you two have parted ways, just live your own lives happily. Refusing to let her go will only drain you and make you sad." Back then, he had high hopes for their relationship. But seeing their current situation, he could only advise him to leave her in peace. Damon didn't say a word. His face was ice-cold. Silently, he watched as Nicholas injected anesthesia in him and operated on him. Nicholas used a needle syringe to draw the excess fluid out before stitching the wound. Damon didn't bring his driver along. He drove alone to Celeste's place. So he had to drive from her place alone as well. He suffered from all the pain till the break of dawn. Nicholas sent him to the parking lot and said, "The effect of the anesthesia hasn't subsided, so go ba
"You're handsome and elegant. There's something extraordinary about you." Celeste was scared. But she quietly backed away. She lied to praise him. "Will you sleep with me then? Hehehe." The man tried to grab her hand. Celeste had nowhere to hide anymore. There was a plastic chair for visitors to rest near the cashier. She seized it and was ready to hit him when he lunged toward her. The man did charge at her. But before he could touch her, someone locked his neck from behind and threw him over the shoulder. The man crashed onto the floor in front of everyone. "Mr. Bishop has said that although they're divorced, he still cares about Mrs. Bishop. Anyone who dares to trouble Mrs. Bishop would be an enemy of the Bishop Group." Two bodyguards in black with heavy builds stood in front of Celeste like saviors. Celeste still remembered the one who spoke up. When Damon grounded her, he hired these two to watch the door. Everyone who was watching the drama didn't dare to offend the B
