Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 463
"Don't think I'm clueless about what you've done for me." Celeste glanced at Damon.Even though Damon wasn't in Taverdale last week, he was aware of everything.Whenever Celeste needed something, Liam acted immediately.If she needed armed forces, they were readily available. If she needed goods, arrangements were promptly made for a fictitious 200 million worth of goods.What was more, her purpose in all of this was simply to use the opportunity to intimidate Titus and Shannon. However, Damon felt that since he and Celeste were already involved, they might as well make a big splash and get the media involved.He had fully trusted her, never questioning her actions or interfering with them. Instead, he silently supported her, providing whatever she needed.Having someone like Damon backing her up gave Celeste an extraordinary sense of confidence.She was suddenly touched, feeling a bit emotional."You're supporting me like this, aren't you afraid it might blow up?" Celeste as

As expected, Chester paused for a moment."I had a feeling, you're into Meg. So, you're getting close to our Schultz family because of her, huh?" Chester, being experienced, had sensed that Winster's gaze toward Megan wasn't quite right. But, George and Miranda were clueless, making random matches, which Chester found frustrating."Yes, Grandpa." Winston nodded, appearing indifferent, but his mind was racing.Chester might be the first elder in the Schultz family to find out, and Winston needed to gain his approval. Chester frowned in disdain. "You're only seven years younger than my youngest son. How can you bring yourself to call me Grandpa?"Winston smiled awkwardly and said, "Even if I'm just seven years younger than your son, since you're Meg's grandpa, you're like a grandpa to me too.""I knew it. You and Meg are definitely up to something. Buttering me up won't help. We'll have to see what Meg's parents think." Chester sighed."How would you figure it out, Grandpa?"

"Meg is the kind who would rather suffer herself than see her elders down. No wonder she's been wearing long-sleeved shirts since she came back this year," Chester sighed, his eyes welling up."When she graduated from high school and Celeste went abroad for studies, she wanted to go too. "But back then, I wasn't in good health and had surgery. Everyone in the family was afraid I might not make it... You know, Meg received an offer from a foreign university, but she lied to us, claiming she didn't pass the exam and chose not to pursue it."Indeed, this was Megan's personality. Despite her trendy appearance with the club, she was deeply traditional in her values. Sacrificing her future for the sake of her family was something she could do.Winston secretly rejoiced that he had spun a lie that fit Megan's character so perfectly."Jenny always thinks I'm biased toward Meg. But that's not true. Jenny is too rational, too aware of what she wants, and she's good at protecting herself.

What was wrong? Chester agreed to what?Megan looked at Chester in confusion. "What are you talking about, Grandpa?"She would never have thought that in just half a day, Chester had been swayed to support Winston. Even more unimaginable was that someone like Winston could distort the truth and stop at nothing.Chester sighed deeply as he saw Megan acting clueless. "It's all Grandpa's fault, and your parents' fault for being too strict with you. "Meg, you've grown up now, you have your own thoughts and choices. Grandpa fully supports you. "Grandpa's strict discipline was to ensure your well-being, not make you sacrifice yourself to ease our minds."What was happening? Megan was completely confused. What was wrong with Chester?"Grandpa, what's going on? Why don't you just tell me directly?" Megan couldn't understand a word Chester was saying.Upon seeing that she remained unmoved, Chester stood up and moved to sit opposite her, reaching out to grab Megan's arm.Megan went

At that moment, Winston was still at the Primax Group's office building handling work. Meanwhile, Megan went directly to Primax.As soon as she arrived at the front desk and before she could speak, a girl in a suit skirt crossed the front desk and greeted her with a smile. "You must be Ms. Schultz. I'm Mr. Belasco's secretary, Eva Hanks. Mr. Belasco is waiting for you in his office. Please follow me." Megan nodded and followed Eva directly to the Chairman's office on the top floor.At that moment, Winston was engrossed in a document. Upon seeing Megan enter, his demeanor softened slightly. "Have a seat on the sofa and wait for me. Help yourself to the tablet." He deftly pulled out an iPad from under the desk and handed it to Megan, then instructed Eva to bring some snacks and a hot cup of milk.Megan frowned. "Do you think I'm a child?"His actions seemed like those dad who had to bring his child to work and gave her a tablet to play with so she wouldn't disturb him, along

"Let go!" Megan said fiercely as she pushed him away, her eyes instantly turned red."Winston, are you proud of yourself? Despite your age, you've enchanted a silly girl 20 years younger than you. Am I just someone you summon and dismiss at will?" Megan rolled up her sleeves, revealling the colorful conch tattoo on her arm."How could you bring this up with my grandpa? He's so old. How would he feel seeing me being so foolish, being so desperate for a man?" Megan's emotions, just calmed down, flared up again. Tears streamed down her face unexpectedly, tugging at Winston's heartstrings."Meg, you know that's not what I meant!" he hurriedly explained.Over the years, Winston had become accustomed to focus on getting results in social interactions. He knew that to get the approval of the Schultz family elders, he needed to evoke their sympathy for Megan. However, he overlooked one crucial thing—Megan couldn't bear to see Chester upset.Upon seeing Megan crying, Winston felt compl

Megan was well aware of Lilian's antics. But in the end, they were just the schemes of a young girl, albeit executed poorly. Upon seeing Lilian in her current state, Megan felt it was rather unseemly for her to be arguing with a terminally ill patient.After Winston's confession, Megan's heart was in turmoil. Instead of being drawn into Winston's confession, she decided it would be better to leave first.As Megan was about to leave, Winston reached out to grab her arm, but she dodged away.Knowing that Lilian didn't have much time left, this truth remained unspoken among them.Winston didn't want to see Lilian suffer any longer. So, he told Megan, "I'll come find you tomorrow."Winston's gaze seemed to want to draw her in, not allowing her to escape."Let's talk about it later." Megan took a deep breath and turned to leave.Sitting in her car, Megan still couldn't calm her emotions. So, she decided to call Celeste.The phone rang for what felt like an eternity before Celest

That night, after Megan left, it was just Winston and Lilian left in the office."Take a seat, Lily. Let's talk," Winston said after a long while, finally snapping out of it after watching Megan leave.Feeling a bit lost, Lilian plopped down on the sofa and stared at Winston, unsure of what to do.Pulling up a chair, Winston sat across from her. "Lily, about me and Megan...""You've caught feelings for her, right?" Lilian interrupted.Being cut off, Winston fell silent for a moment. Then, he nodded seriously."The doctor said I only have one month left," Lilian whispered, her voice filled with a sense of stillness and finality.Winston remained silent."Just for this one last month, can't you just tell me what I want to hear?" Lilian's voice trembled with tears, her emotions pouring out. Now, filled with resentment and jealousy, Lilian could no longer pretend to be generous.Winston pursed his lips, remaining silent for a long time before he said in a deep voice, "Lily, I do

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
