Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 362
Celeste's words made Lawrence feel a little more at ease. Taking a deep breath, he lifted his head and looked into her eyes again. "My father is dying; did you know that?" Celeste shook her head a little. She didn't know much about Jonah's condition. "His health had been deteriorating for a while now. The syphilis has spread to his cardiovascular system—it's in its late stage. He's given up on treatment completely." Lawrence's tone was calm. There was not much love between him and Jonah in the first place. When he spoke about Jonah, it was as if he was talking about a total stranger. "I heard that he'd previously slept with over a thousand women in a year. Dying because of venereal disease is his karma." Celeste was quiet. Although Jonah deserved everything, she was the reason why he ended up in this state today. If Jonah hadn't tried to sleep with her back then, Damon wouldn't have gotten furious and brought two girls with venereal disease to drag Jonah down."He de

"Why are you here?" The factory was in the suburbs. It was already 11:00 pm at night after Celeste's live stream was over. She didn't expect that someone would be waiting for her outside, so she was taken aback by Damon's presence. How did he get in here? Didn't the security stop him? The lollipop that her colleague gave her was dangling from her mouth. She nearly choked on her own saliva. "Why didn't you leave when your stomach started hurting during the live stream?" Damon didn't wait for Celeste to answer. He grabbed her arm and led her to his car. How did he know that her stomach was hurting? "What?" Celeste didn't want to move as she stood there. She was weaker because of the stomach pain. "We'll go have supper." Damon didn't exert a lot of strength, probably because he was scared of hurting her. His voice was gentle in the quiet night. He waited for her at midnight just to have supper together? Celeste was starving, yet she didn't forget about her important ta

It was already one in the morning when they finished their supper. Damon insisted on driving Celeste back home. Celeste had her reservations at first. She finally moved somewhere he didn't know. If she told him her address now, she'd be asking for trouble. That said, it's hard to say any words of rejection to him in such a situation. "Don't worry, I'll leave after sending you to your apartment." Staring ahead at the road, Damon said casually. Damon could tell what she was thinking. Celeste sighed in relief. "Are you that happy?" Seeing the look of relief on her face, Damon couldn't help but get angry. Was she trying to avoid him so desperately? "We're divorced already, anyway. It's better not to do anything that might attract suspicion," Celeste muttered. The atmosphere instantly turned cold. With a cool face, Damon didn't bother her anymore. It was only a ten-minute journey from the restaurant to Celeste's place. Celeste thought she should test the waters with Damon by

When Damon hugged Celeste earlier, he had stuffed the car keys into the pocket of her coat. Although Celeste had always been vigilant, she didn't notice it at all. Her heart was so stirred up by Damon that she was left defenseless. No matter how much she wanted to deny it, her body couldn't lie. "I don't want it." Instinctively, she called him to turn his offer down. "Throw it away if you don't. Many people would want to take it off your hands." Damon was going to get mad again. Celeste thought about it. She would be leaving the country next year, so she certainly wouldn't buy a car in the meantime. She owed Damon too much already anyway—this car would mean nothing. She'd just return it to him before she left the country. She relented and said, "I'll use it for now. I'll return the car to you before I leave Taverdale." "Whatever you want." Damon hung up. …In the end, the matter was resolved according to Lawrence's plan. Lawrence's brother, Diego, had a gang fight wi

"Is that so?" Damon walked past Carly to look at Jasper coldly. His eyes were filled with disappointment. Jasper, on the other hand, had a guilty look on his face. Lowering his head, he kept quiet. "Damon, I can explain!" Leah had already lost all hope for Damon, so she didn't hold herself back from doing or saying anything. But she was still terrified upon seeing the look on his face. She dashed over, wanting to grab his arm and explain. "Get away from me." Damon pushed her hard as she fell onto the floor. Leah's head hit the armrest of the hotel sofa. She let out a shriek in pain. Seeing the look of disgust on Damon's face, she suppressed her pain. "Damon, listen to me! My feelings for you were real, it's just that you kept ignoring me—" Damon glared coldly at her, stopping Leah from finishing her sentence. "Damon, the two of them started sleeping with each other last summer, look!" Carly showed Damon the record of them booking hotel rooms, which she printed out in ad

After Megan hid outside the country for over two months, she finally returned. When Celeste's live stream ended at night, she met Megan at a quiet bar for some deep conversation. "I've decided to follow my heart," Megan said after downing a glass of whiskey. She had an obedient-looking face, but she enjoyed hard liquor a lot. Every time Celeste was with her, the two of them never had any alcohol that was light or sweet. "Have you thought it through? Even if it means you wouldn't get his heart in the end?" The two knew each other too well. It was enough for Celeste to know what Megan wanted when she declared that. "As long as I stay by his side with no complaints, there will come a day where he'll fall for me. Even if it doesn't… Even if it means we can only be friends with benefits forever, I'll admit defeat." Megan chugged her whiskey again. Celeste reached out to hold Megan's hand and used her other hand to cover Megan's glass. "You would never have to stoop so low in

Clearly, Damon noticed her as well. "Come here," he said softly. Looking at him, he looked fragile and sorrowful. What happened? Celeste herself had suffered from countless hardships before. But watching Damon, who always had everything under control, experiencing sadness made her heart ache. She couldn't control herself as she walked toward him. "Something happened. I'll tell you about it on WhatsApp later. Please comfort him a little." Nicholas tactfully left them alone after whispering to Celeste.Celeste nodded before sitting across from Damon. "You're here, my wife." Damon was clearly drunk. He leaned on the table as he called out to Celeste. He sounded like a kid. Celeste didn't want to correct the words of a drunken man. She'd let him call her whatever he wanted. She went to the bar and got a bottle of water. Just then, she got a message from Nicholas. As she read through the details, Celeste frowned. Given her familiarity with Leah's character, what she'd done

It was already midnight when Winston reached home after having dinner with a client. He then got a call from Megan. "Mr. Belasco, can we meet somewhere outside? I just came back to Taverdale and brought a gift for you," she said graciously. There was no hint of fear in her voice anymore. Instinctively, he checked the time on his watch and asked, "Where?" "Come to the presidential suite of the Regalia Club," she said. It was 11:00 pm at night, yet she was asking him to collect his gift in a presidential suite. No matter how slow a man could be, they'd understand the underlying intention. Besides, Winston was a womanizer himself. He hesitated for a bit before replying with a smile, "Sure." …The door to the presidential suite was barely closed. The heater in the room was turned on. Megan was wearing a red silk slip dress as she lazily leaned against the sofa and sipped her drink. A muscle-pain relief patch covered the wound on her arm, which conveniently hid the word

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
