"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
Celeste looked at Damon from afar before turning away. Damon, on the other hand, didn't move his eyes away from her. "That brat, Damon, is looking at you," Megan said. "Ignore him. Something's wrong with that man." Celeste pursed her lips. She didn't expect Sherry to be able to accept the fact that there was a hickey on Damon's neck. The two got into the car. The driver sent Celeste back home first. On their way back, the two women sat together in the back seat as they leaned against each other. "You should give Caro a chance to pursue you. He's quite a nice guy," Celeste suddenly said. "We'll see about that. On the other hand, were you with Damon when you left the room?" Celeste didn't say anything, but it was a silent yes. "Wow. You're a rational woman, so you wouldn't need me to lecture you. You know what's the best thing to do," Megan said after a moment of silence. She sighed. "Don't worry. I won't be a mistress. You know that my ego wouldn't allow it." Celeste
"Ms. Holmer, there's a surveillance camera in my office." After she was done, Celeste looked up and informed her calmly. In this day and age, she wasn't afraid of Sherry doing anything shady to her at all. The previous mayor brought his own son down for abusing his power and status. As expected, Sherry was terrified. But she said stubbornly, "Stop lying to me!" "Why should I lie to you? Look." Celeste threw a glance at the camera above them. "It records our voices too." Sherry lost her composure immediately. "Ms… Celeste, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have said that! I—" She actually started to cry while grabbing Celeste's arm. Celeste let Sherry cry for a while before pulling out a tissue from her desk for Sherry. She advised her coolly. "Ms. Holmer, I don't intend to meddle in your relationship with Damon. Please talk to your boyfriend too, tell him to not disturb me anymore." "Then… Can you delete the surveillance footage?" Sherry asked while sobbing. "Ms. Holmer, it's
The upper-class circle of Taverdale was not all that large. Leah soon found out about Sherry. For a moment, she lost her mind. She went to Damon's office with teary eyes and demanded an answer. Damon was focused on his work. He lifted his head up. "What did you say?" He didn't even hear what she said. Leah suddenly looked humiliated. Her anger dissipated too. "I asked if you're dating Sherry now?" "Is that any of your business?" Ever since Leah failed to seduce Damon last time, it had been a while since she appeared anywhere near Damon. This time, she came to ask about such an irrelevant matter. Damon merely felt annoyed at her. He didn't even want to answer her at all. "I promised Uncle John to take care of you, but that doesn't mean you're allowed to test my patience again and again." Damon slammed his fists on the table. His eyes were dark and cold, but they were filled with fury. Around Damon, Leah had always been able to get her way because they'd grown up together
Liam was surprised to hear that Damon wanted to visit the grasslands. Damon's schedule had always been full and tight. Nonetheless, he was putting aside all his work and heading off for a trip. What's going on? "But there'll be an important client flying here from Mapolia this week—" "You can deal with him." Damon didn't hesitate at all. "But if I mess up—" "Liam, I'm not paying you a few million dollars a year just to hear you say no." Damon's voice became cold. Liam was blocked by Celeste as well, so he didn't know what she had been up to. But he had a feeling that this was related to Celeste. He checked Leo Jewels' official website. In their "Activity" section, he saw Spencer bringing a team of designers to the grasslands as he expected. They were already divorced, yet he was following his ex-wife all the way to the grasslands. Looking at the situation, Damon was no different from those women who were infatuated with him. "Liam, do you think Damon would like it if
Celeste's words immediately shut the designers up. The two gawked at her without a word. "That's my ex-husband, Damon," Celeste explained. "No… No way." The one who said that she wished she could sleep with Damon immediately stuttered. She felt so awkward. As their car slowed down on the uphill road, the sound of horses became clearer as they approached. When they looked out of the window again, the man had taken off his sunglasses. He was holding the reins with one hand while clutching the handle with another. Wearing riding boots, his legs pressed against the horse's belly as they galloped forward. Those deep-set eyes and tall nose of his clearly suggested that it was Damon. The designers exchanged an awkward look. But Celeste was unfazed. She moved away from the window where she had been admiring the scenery just a moment ago. "Why is he here? To chase after his ex-wife?" Spencer asked. Celeste shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe he's on a trip with Ms. Holmer." When they
