Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 451
"I'm sorry, Grandma." Celeste teared up. She went over to Jane's bedside. "I was rude and too stubborn." If Sylvia were still alive, she'd probably chastise Celeste as well for upsetting Jane so much. She really shouldn't have done this. Celeste let out a sigh. She was too emotional and regretted how unreasonable she acted. "Hmph." Jane turned her face away unhappily. Ten minutes prior, Winston had texted Jane. He told her briefly about what happened. Jane was not as angry as before anymore. She just wanted to play around with Celeste. But Celeste didn't know Jane that well. She thought that Jane didn't want to see her, so she stood there awkwardly. "Grandma, if you don't want to see me, I'll visit you after a few days—" Hearing that, Jane turned to face her. She watched her granddaughter with a frown. "Cece, have you been behaving this way around other people as well? You've upset someone, yet you're just going to leave after trying to comfort me with a few words?"

"Even if I did something wrong, Grandma and Mr. Belasco wouldn't do anything to me. Can't you tell that already? Being jealous of me would just make you and Ms. Schultz suffer." Perhaps that was the case, but she and Megan weren't jealous of Lilian at all. In fact, Celeste felt bad for Lilian when she heard that Lilian was suffering from late-stage cancer. Celeste only started hating her because of everything Lilian did afterwards. Celeste snickered. "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. You think that we're jealous of you, but doesn't that mean you're actually jealous of us?' Being exposed by Celeste, Lilian felt embarrassed. "So what if I'm jealous? I'm about to die soon. After I die, I'll always be the kind and innocent girl who Grandma and Mr. Belasco won't ever be able to forget. As for you and Ms. Schultz, it'd be hard for you to defeat me without dying." When Lilian talked about death in private, there was no fear or sadness in her at all. Inste

Only then did Celeste remember that she hadn't told Megan about what happened. She was too busy coaxing Jane in the morning. "Ah, it's all my fault. I forgot to tell you something." She hurriedly explained everything that went down to Megan. "In short, it was just a misunderstanding," Celeste concluded. Megan was silent for a moment after hearing that. "So that's why Winston was looking for me?" "I suppose so. I can't think of any other reason." "It's not like I'm going to marry him. Why would he bother explaining this to me? Weirdo." Megan snorted. Celeste smiled bitterly. "You don't want to marry him, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to marry you. In my eyes, Winston has been really concerned about you." Megan snorted again. "There are many people out there who want to marry me. How dare a widower like him think he can do that?" After the call ended, Celeste shook her head with a bitter smile. Just over a month ago, Megan was head over heels for this "widower

When they saw Winston, Megan pulled Celeste away and wanted to leave. But before the two could reach the door, Winston had already caught up to them. "Megan, I need to talk to you about something." Megan felt helpless. This was bound to happen after all. "Do you need something from me?" "Yes. Cece, please give us some space to talk." Winston glanced at Celeste, who was by Megan's side. He was assertive. "Don't go." Megan insisted she stayed. Celeste didn't know what to do. Megan was her best friend, and Winston was her uncle. Who should she listen to? "Meg, don't make me kiss you during Jonah's funeral." When Celeste didn't move, Winston could only lean closer to Megan and whisper in her ear. "You wouldn't dare." Megan was mad. "Try me." Winston's lips brushed past her ear. It caused Megan's goosebumps to rise. He had always been gentle. His dominating tone today reminded Megan of that one day. She thought about the look on Winston's face, which he couldn't hide

Megan left without turning back. She thought that if worse came to worst, she'd sell off her shares in Opulent Prowl so she wouldn't have to get involved with him anymore. The truth was that they were making a lot of profits from Opulent Prowl. The dividend she'd receive at the end of the year would even surpass what she made from the club. She thought their partnership wouldn't be affected even when she stopped seeing Winston. They said that it wouldn't matter much when a woman left a man she didn't love anymore. Shouldn't it be the same for a man leaving a woman he didn't love? Unlike his usual calm and rational self, Winston had been acting outrageously. She couldn't handle this new version of him. But selling off her shares would require Winston's assistance since he was the primary investor of Opulent Prowl. It wouldn't be easy to execute this. Before she could work on this matter, Megan realized that Winston had contacted her parents already. When she returned hom

Megan felt helpless. After the meal, she called Celeste to complain. "What is up with Winston? Does leaving a friend with benefits render him in such pain?" She refused to believe that Winston's business venture with her parents was just a coincidence."I don't know, but I think he's just being stubborn when he says he doesn't love you," Celeste said. She didn't have much experience in dating, and she was always straightforward when she dealt with problems. She couldn't tell what Winston was thinking by doing all of this, either. She believed Winston did love Megan; but this was something related to the future happiness of her best friend and uncle, so she dared not overanalyze the matter. "That's right. What's the point of asking you that? You've never even properly dated before." Megan sighed. Celeste chuckled. "Who told you that? I'm dating my ex-husband now." She and Damon had gone through multiple challenges in their relationship. They were currently at the stage wher

At Chester's birthday celebration, everyone apart from Winston and Celeste were members of the Schultz family. Megan didn't have any aunts; she only had two uncles. They were the fathers of Jasper and Jennifer. Her uncles and George had been in the business field for many years, so it was only natural that they knew Winston. The few people sat together and quickly became friendly. After a few rounds of drinks, George remembered his "task". He quickly dragged the three young ones over to toast Winston. Jasper had interacted with Winston before. He protected Celeste from being splashed with acid back then, and Winston awarded him with a major project. When they met again, the two were naturally polite to each other. Jennified was Jasper and Megan's older cousin. It was her first time meeting Winston. "Mr. Belasco, this is my daughter, Jenny. After obtaining a PhD in architecture, she's working as a professor at a local university," Jennifer's father said. He knew that G

Megan was annoyed as the corners of her lips twitched.She told her parents that she was not close with Winston even though she was a shareholder of Opulent Prowl. After he called her Meg in front of everyone, how could she continue lying about this? "Are you guys close? Why didn't you invite Winston over to our place earlier then?" Sitting at the head of the table, Chester didn't participate in the conversations between the young ones, but he chose this moment to speak up. The way Chester glanced between Megan, Jennifer, and Winston seemed as if he was intrigued by what was happening. Chester was of old age, and he had been living a comfortable and leisurely life. He was just like a mischievous child sometimes. To Chester, Winston was just like a younger member of his family. It sounded affectionate when he called Winston by his first name. "We're old friends," Winston said with a smile. For some reason, the word "friends" sounded differently in Megan's ears. The long

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
