For a moment, Celeste didn't know how to comfort Megan. "I've decided to go on blind dates. I'll start tomorrow." The white wine arrived. Megan stumbled on her way to open the door and take it. "You're just 21. You're not in a rush at all." That was all Celeste could say. She didn't know what Winston could be thinking. Although he was handsome, rich, and charming, he was almost 20 years older than Megan. Perhaps he was afraid of holding her back. But since she didn't hear it directly from him, she couldn't defend him for this reason either. After the two of them drank half of the bottle, Megan went to the bathroom and threw up. Then, she lay on the couch and slowly dozed off. Celeste held her and helped her rinse her mouth. She was about to get a hot towel for her. "Winston, you're a bad guy. I like you." Megan mumbled in her sleep. "You're a bad guy…" She sounded like she was sobbing. When Celeste reached out to touch her face, it was wet with tears. Heartbroken, Cel
Winston's story was way more interesting than what he'd told Celeste. If Celeste was willing to delve deeper, she'd realize that the ways they'd grown up were almost identical. They even hired the same fixer, which was Kenny. The person who helped Kenny in earning his first paycheck was none other than Winston. The difference lay in how their relationships evolved respectively. Damon knew that Celeste didn't love him at first, but he gradually developed feelings for her. On the other hand, Winston and his wife shared a strong relationship since the start. But things started to fall apart when he managed to get what he wanted. His wife thought that he did everything just so that he could use her, and that she was just a tool to help Winston in reaching his goals. "I succeeded in taking revenge, but I lost her. That's the one thing I regretted the most in my life." Winston's eyes were soft and sad. "Misunderstandings can be explained. But she passed away. She got into a car acc
Sherry was from a prestigious family and was as pretty as a doll. Nobody had ever dared to belittle her. After not getting what she wanted, she went back home and cried to her parents. The next day, Damon just arrived at the company when Liam brought an invitation to him. He was invited to the Holmer residence. Jordan helped Damon out before after all, so Damon didn't dare to turn him down. He asked Liam to prepare a box of gold as a gift for them. He thought that he'd have to entertain Sherry again and he was mentally prepared for it. To his surprise, Jordan's secretary brought Damon to his tea room. Only Jordan was there. "Mr. Holmer," Damon greeted him politely as he passed Jordan the gift. "Damon, you can just call me Uncle Jordan." Jordan gave Damon a friendly smile, showing a warm attitude as a leader. Damon obliged. "Uncle Jordan." Jordan nodded in reply. He poured Damon a cup of tea. "It's my fault for not raising my daughter well. Sherry is too headstrong. Wh
From then on, Damon started to go out with Sherry as expected. The upper-class circle wasn't big in Taverdale. The news reached Celeste within just a week. "You'll be in my life from now on. Let's care for each other and not let each other down." Megan sent a screenshot of Sherry's post to Celeste. Sherry attached a picture of the back of a tall man. That silhouette was all too familiar to Celeste. She had gazed at his back countless times, marveling at how handsome he looked even from the back. His figure was so well-proportioned and regal. "Damon is such a piece of trash. He was going after you not long ago, but he has gone official with Sherry now." Megan hadn't even healed from her own heartbreak yet, but she had the energy to complain for Celeste. Celeste's heart throbbed. Her mind went blank for a long time. Sherry was adorable and pretty, so it wouldn't be strange for Damon to feel attracted to her. Celeste just didn't expect that they'd be together so soon. It d
Why was she everywhere? Celeste should feel sorry for herself instead of seeing Sherry and Damon here. Before Celeste could speak, Megan stretched an arm out and hid Celeste behind. "This is a public place and not your house. Of course, we can be here as well." "You just happened to know that Damon and I are here to see some friends, so you wanted to get his attention! Why bother putting up an act?" Ignoring Megan, Sherry continued to attack Celeste. "Sherry, certain things that you cherish might just be trash that was thrown away by others. Not everyone cares about whatever you care about." Megan couldn't stand her as she talked down to Sherry. Her analogy made Celeste burst out laughing. She didn't know that her best friend was so good at talking. Maybe Megan got her skills from arguing with Celeste's anti-fans online when she was the topic of gossip. The thought of that was hilarious to Celeste. She looked at Megan with gratitude. Did Megan just say that he was a piece o
"It must have something to do with looks then." After being silent for a while, Megan suddenly spoke up. "What?" Winnie was confused. "I said, the reason why you don't have a complicated history of relationships must have something to do with looks. After all, beautiful women are always slandered by others, but normal-looking ones would never experience such a thing. In that case…" Megan sized Winnie up with a smile. "Having an average face isn't a bad thing at all." "Pfft!" Caro choked on his drink and started coughing. "It's only been a few years since I last saw you. How did you—" How did she become so good at talking? Winny couldn't maintain her composure anymore after being told that. "Celeste got famous because she slept around with men. You're friends with her. Of course, you're the same too." She continued to attack them. The men who were sitting around them couldn't stand this anymore. Anyone could tell that Winnie was trying to pick a fight. "We're all schoolm
Celeste had probably had a few drinks. Her face was flushed, and her eyes were watery. When she saw Damon leaning against the wall smoking, she pouted. She was going to leave. Damon had been missing her so much for the past two days, so how could he let her go? He put out his cigarette and strode over. He reached out to hold her waist. "Let me go!" Celeste demanded. She stepped on his foot with her heels. Damon carried her and pushed her against the wall. "Do you hate that girl or something? Why did you let her pay for the whiskey?" Damon didn't sound like he was asking a question. Instead, his voice was seductive as he whispered into her ear. He was amazed by how evil this woman could be. "She's Carly's friend. She should take responsibility as well since Liam got slapped." Celeste snickered. "I was generous enough to only scam her for two bottles of alcohol." "What a vengeful woman." Damon chuckled. Celeste's ear was sensitive. When he breathed into her ear, her f
Of course, Damon saw through Celeste's intentions. She just wanted to leave some marks on him so that he wouldn't be able to explain things to Sherry. This woman wasn't forgiving at all. She wouldn't allow herself to be taken advantage of, and he knew that. She sucked his neck hard. Damon was turned on as she planted a hickey on him. She was clearly taking revenge, but he felt that a part of her was doing this because she craved him. His breathing became faster. "Baby, if you don't want me to do things to you here, you should let me go." After a while, Damon spoke with a hoarse voice. He struggled to push his desire aside as he hooked her bra back. The two were in the room for another half an hour before they came out. Celeste first went to the bathroom to straighten out her clothes. She then splashed some water on her face to cool down. When her cheeks were no longer warm, she went back to the private room. "Sorry, I went out to answer a call from work." Celeste had al
