Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 4 What Are You Doing Here
Celeste didn't actually expect Damon to show up at her hotel room. The only reason why she had publicly flirted with him was to strengthen the impression he had of her."How did it go, Cel?" read Megan's text.It had come in as soon as she walked out of the casino and checked her phone."It was alright. But I lost all the money you lent me," Celeste replied, letting out a bitter laugh as she typed. As it was now late, she headed to the hotel next door to spend the night.It wouldn't be safe for her to be on the streets alone."That's alright. As long as Damon didn't make things difficult for you," Megan said. She had grown up with Celeste and knew how stubborn she could be. Her only hope was for Celeste to stop putting herself in harm's way."Don't worry, Meg. I know what I'm doing," Celeste texted back.As soon as Celeste reached her hotel room, she went for a bath.However, she had spent a lot of energy on tonight's card game and accidentally fell asleep in the tub.

"Since you know that I've cut off my relationship with the York family, I hope you won't disturb my peace anymore, Madam Kissinger." Celeste smirked as she ended the call.By the time she returned home, it was already the next afternoon.Unsurprisingly, Shannon was there blocking the way to the door.Frowning, she went straight to the point and asked, "Celeste, what exactly do you want?"She didn't bother to keep the customary elegance that she used with others."You know what I'm doing. I'm simply taking back what's mine." Celeste regarded Shannon flatly. "Go away. It doesn't do well to just stand there like a traffic cone.""Taking back what's yours? You've already cut off your relationship with Father. What does the York family have that's yours anymore?" Shannon's tone was ruthless. "I'm warning you. Don't keep hanging around Damon. He's now my fiancé.""Your fiancé? What a joke. I still have the marriage agreement Mr. Bishop Senior wrote. How did Damon become your fiancé n

There were about half a dozen people in the private room. Several gangsters surrounded the burly Camden like he was the star of the show."Mr. Bradley, good to see you." Celeste held back her disgust and put on a professional smile.She walked straight toward Camden and handed him the wine list. The club's uniform was a white shirt paired with a black-striped jacket and skirt. It looked good on Celeste.Her waist was exceptionally slim, and she had curves in all the right places."A woman in uniform sure is hot!" One of the gangsters whistled.Someone else immediately groveled, "Mr. Bradley sure knows how to have fun."Camden's chubby hand landed on Celeste's. He pressed their hands together as he flipped through the menu.Although Celeste felt like she was going to throw up, she forced herself to stay still.She didn't want to cause Megan any trouble. She repeatedly told herself to endure it and hold it in."Aw, don't stand there like a stranger. Come, sit down and tell m

"Let go of me. I'm not in the mood," said Celeste.She realized what Damon was up to only after he pressed her into the couch and started undoing her buttons.What a pervert.She was aware of what she currently looked like, even without checking a mirror.Yet, he somehow still wanted to sleep with her.As Celeste complained to herself, she started struggling violently."You keep showing up in front of me. And this time, it's during such an incident, too. Am I not doing what you wanted?" Damon chuckled coldly.He clasped her hands behind her and then laid himself atop her.It seemed that he had misunderstood. Damon assumed Celeste had arranged this whole thing so that he could be her knight in shining armor. Furthermore, he thought that her motive was to get closer to him.Celeste couldn't take the effort to explain herself and once again put on her signature smile."Yes. How else could I provoke your protective instincts if I didn't put myself in a more pitiful state?" Ce

The marriage agreement between Damon and the York family was set when his grandfather, James Bishop, was still alive. Damon and Shannon had only been dating in the past few months.Damon was a cold person. He didn't invest a lot into relationships and never had a woman he was interested in. To him, it made no difference if he married Shannon or some other young woman from an esteemed family.Shannon was a pianist, which was a respectable job. She was warm, polite, and well-bred. She could be considered someone fit for the role of Mrs. Bishop."Why are you going to the hospital?" he asked casually, putting his thoughts aside."I've been practicing the piano too much lately, so my hand hurts a little. It's probably tenosynovitis." Shannon elegantly held out her slender hand for Damon to see."Could you please go with me to the hospital?"After getting Celeste's phone call, Shannon was feeling uneasy. She now had to find a way to convince Damon to get married as soon as poss

The next day, Damon was frowning as he read Celeste's report from her visit to the gynecologist.It said, "Patient has suffered a tear. The wound is about an inch long and is mildly infected."It seemed Damon found it impossible to control himself when it came to Celeste. He had always portrayed a chilly image to the public, unwilling to display his emotions easily. But with Celeste, it was like she flipped the switch and turned him into a beast.She made him go into a frenzy and lose his self-control. With her, he showed his natural self and became who he truly was.He recalled how he'd pressed her into the couch in that private room at the club.Damon felt his heart sink when he thought about her smile and the sad look in her eyes. He had been too disrespectful to her. He vowed to write her another check the next time he saw her.The sound of his phone ringing broke him out of his thoughts. It was Jasper calling. "Wow, Damon. You just got started, and you did it three times

"Since you bought me these, Mr. Bishop, I will drink them. But if I'm still alive after I finish, make sure you fulfill your promise."Although Celeste maintained her attitude, there was a hint of determination in her eyes. She wasn't afraid of death at all, so nothing else in this world could scare her.Celeste stood up and reached behind her head to take off her hair clip. Her lush hair tumbled down, some of it covering parts of her face. She then opened the bottle of whiskey that was closest to her.Celeste had a pretty decent alcohol tolerance. However, whiskey had around 40% alcohol content, and drinking one put her at her limit. There was no way she could finish ten bottles.It was fine. She just had to make sure she didn't pass out before she finished all ten of them. She would just have to treat it as though she were drinking water. After that … Well, she'd think about it if she was still alive.As Celeste thought this, she held her breath and started gulping

After having her stomach pumped and getting treated, Celeste finally woke up the next day."Can you give me another chance? I swear I'll drink it all." Celeste's complexion was pale, and she had stitches on her forehead. The corner of her mouth was torn when her stomach was pumped. But she still smiled as she bargained with Damon."I'll give you another chance to tell me why you want to marry me," Damon said.He was poker-faced as he looked down at Celeste.Last night, she had nearly died in this hospital. But somehow, she was still able to smile in this situation. Celeste was crazy from head to toe and definitely had a death wish."Because I like you," she said convincingly, still smiling brightly.No matter how slow he was when it came to love, Damon was an adult and knew that she was lying.Celeste didn't care about him. She had to have her motives for getting close to him."Celeste York, you are lying.""Mr. Bishop, don't doubt your charm.""No matter what you want

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
