Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 346
"Of course," Celeste said. She and Serena agreed to meet at a cafe. She was smart enough to know Serena's intention. Serena probably wanted her to disappear from Damon's sight and stop pestering him since they were already divorced. Ever since the divorce, Celeste wanted the same as well. She hesitated yesterday for a short while, but now she's determined to stay away from him. Since they shared the same intentions, making things clear with Serena and using her to achieve Celeste's goal would be a good idea too. As usual, Serena headed out with her driver and two maids.Celeste watched as Serena got out of her Lincoln Continental. She felt bad for asking Serena to meet at a cafe where the average spending per person was 50 dollars. Serena told the driver to park the car opposite the road. She then joined Celeste at the cafe. "Ms. York, we've had some misunderstandings in the past, and I've done things to trouble you as well. I apologize for all of that." Serena didn't touc

The advertising board struck Celeste's right shoulder at an awkward angle. Her white shirt immediately seeped with blood. Shielded by Celeste, Serena narrowly escaped from the misfortune. Her face paled at the sight of Celeste's condition. "Hurry, take her to the hospital!" Serena covered Celeste's shoulder and shouted hysterically. "It's okay, don't be afraid." Celeste's face was chalk-white. Her brows furrowed in pain, but she tried to comfort Serena. She even felt relieved that it was her who got injured. Serena might have held a grudge against Celeste for the incident if it had happened to her instead. Standing on the ladder, the worker saw what happened. Panicking, he nearly tripped and fell. "Slow down. What's done is done; there's no use panicking," Celeste said. Her tone was calm, but it was obvious that she was gritting her teeth in pain. Despite the circumstances, she remained composed, as if it was someone else who got injured. Serena recalled how indiffere

Celeste had just undergone surgery, so her face was as pale as a sheet. She sounded breathless as well. Damon's heart ached at the sight. Pursing his lips, he didn't argue with her. "You should leave if you have nothing else to do here. I didn't save Mrs. Bishop because she's your mother, nor was it because I want to marry into the Bishop family again. In that situation, I would've saved anyone standing beside me," Celeste said casually. As if she belatedly thought of something, she added, "You saved my life a few days ago. Now, I happened to have saved Mrs. Bishop as well. I don't owe you anything anymore. From now on, let's cut each other off and not meet anymore." Celeste knew she hadn't been able to wholly let go of her feelings for Damon. But life was precious. She didn't want to waste it on meaningless things anymore. "Celeste, do you really have to be so extreme?" The look of concern on Damon's face was replaced with coldness. "I didn't know that you were the one who

Damon's heart skipped a beat, but he showed no change of expression. "I've recovered." "Are you kidding me? It requires at least one to three months to recover from myocarditis," Celeste said. Hearing no reply from Damon, she then realized that Damon was staring at her intently. Suddenly, she felt that she had spoken out of turn. She added, "I-I was always sick in the past, so I know a little about stuff like this." Her explanation seemed unnecessary, and she sounded as if she was trying to hide something. "Ah… " Damon drawled. "I thought you looked that up for me."Embarrassed, her pale face became flushed. "I'll transfer to the ward next to yours tomorrow," Damon instantly said. He then fed her another spoonful of soup. Celeste lowered her gaze without a word. She focused on eating. Damon had always been pampered since childhood. Yet, he had cooked for her twice already. The last time he did was after she went golfing with Cedric and had a fight with him for two days.

Celeste was dealing with one problem after another, but Megan was dealing with a mess of her own. After the alumni reunion, she exchanged numbers with Caro. They grew close for a short while. Because of Winston, Megan needed someone new to heal her broken heart—and Caro was the one she chose to do so. The two went on dates several times, mostly having dinners and going to the movies. There was no significant progress in their relationship. Caro had pursued her relentlessly throughout their high school years but to no avail. Naturally, he didn't dare to make any bold moves now. Still, he had feelings for Megan, and she could sense them. One evening, they went out to have steak together. Caro brought a large bouquet of blue enchantresses. By the time they left after dinner, the sky had turned dark. The autumn breeze was chilly. Megan held the bouquet as they walked outside. "Your shoelace is untied," Caro called out. He stopped her as he crouched down to tie her loose sho

The sudden kiss caught Celeste off guard. By the time she tried to dodge him, it was already over. "Nothing happened between you and her…" She was a little dumbstruck. "Nothing at all. We haven't even held hands," Damon told her the truth. Celeste then remembered that Sherry had only dared to hold onto his arm. They had never held hands. How could adults not hold hands when they were in love? The fact that they were just a couple by name was genuinely baffling to Celeste. Celeste didn't understand and felt it had nothing to do with her anyway. Damon didn't seem to care about her regarding other things, but he was always proactive when it came to feeding her. Celeste found it troublesome. She usually only had milk for breakfast. As such, Damon would treat lunch and dinner as important events. He refused to let anyone else help her. Celeste resisted him a little at first, but she couldn't be bothered to argue with him anymore as time passed. She just let him do as he plea

"I'll go." Celeste calmly pulled a scrunchie from her pocket and tied her hair into a messy bun. "I don't mind going with you, but tell Jordan that you can't detain someone for questioning for more than 24 hours without evidence. Otherwise, my ex-hubbie will sue Mr. Holmer for abuse of power." Paired with her carefree attitude, the elegant curve of her neck beneath her messy bun stirred something within Damon. What did she just call him? Ex-hubbie? What kind of strange nickname was that? "Of course." The officials seemed more nervous than she was. "I'm leaving now," Celeste told Damon. Damon nodded calmly. "Go ahead." As Celeste's figure disappeared into the distance, Damon's eyes turned cold. He took out his phone and called Liam. "Look into Shannon's recent whereabouts. We should start executing our plan against Jordan as well." The last time he heard of someone ruining the brakes of a car was when Celeste was locked in the garage. Damon had reasons to suspect that

Jordan's downfall was unexpected. Many citizens who didn't watch the news were unaware that the mayor of Taverdale had quietly been switched twice in just four months. "Was it you?" Celeste suddenly asked. She looked blankly as she scrolled through the news on her phone. Damon wasn't bothered. "What goes around comes around. What's so surprising about that?" At first, Jordan's situation would have nothing to do with Damon. However, Jordan overestimated his own abilities and tried to threaten Damon. Since he dared to force his daughter onto Damon, it was a convenient opportunity for Damon to extract some useful information from Sherry. If it were reported by anyone else, perhaps the higher authorities would ignore it. But who would dare disrespect Damon when he's the one making the report himself? He was practically admitting that it was his doing. And so, Celeste became quiet and didn't ask any further. Staring at Damon, who was as handsome as an ancient sculpture, she

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
