Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 469
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

Lilian was the heart and soul of the Belasco family. As she neared the end of her life, it seemed like everything in the Belasco family had come to a halt.Celeste and Megan had similar thoughts. Although they knew Lilian was in the wrong, they didn't want to dwell on it anymore.As someone nearing death who hadn't committed any major wrongs, Lilian's actions seemed merely like those of a mischievous young girl. They decided to let her be.Celeste felt grateful for all the years Lilian had spent with Jane. As for Megan, she simply packed her bags and went abroad again.Managing several clubs overseas, Megan rarely needed to be physically present. Last time she stayed away for several months to avoid Caro. This time, she had even planned out a month's worth of work, filling her schedule to capacity.To Celeste, Megan and Winston's affair was like a play that had only finished its first act. During the intermission, everyone was waiting for the second act to begin, but then th

"I'm sorry. It's all my fault. The weather outside was nice, so I invited Cal to go out for a walk together. Then a car came speeding by..." Lilian's eyes were swollen and red from crying, showing extreme guilt.Celeste frowned. "You invited him out for a walk? I've said before that Cal shouldn't go out without protection."Shannon's return meant that Celeste and her Caleb had to be vigilant about their safety. While Celeste was physically healthy, Caleb had only undergone heart transplant a year ago, and there couldn't be any mishaps.Celeste had emphasized this repeatedly."I thought he was bored, it was meant well. And we agreed to come back once we reached the base of the mountain. Who knew a car would lose control..." Lilian weakly explained."Cece, Lily didn't mean any harm. Cal's accident was an accident," Jane intervened."If he wasn't allowed to go out, wouldn't that have prevented the accident?" Celeste retorted.After speaking, she felt she had been rude to Jane and

"Ms. Gibson isn't feeling well. You should go back first. Grandma and Mr. Belasco as well. You all should go back and rest. We'll stay here with Cal." Damon moticed Celeste's impatience and took the initiative to speak.Despite being blood relatives, Jane's affection for Lilian was more evident. Even with Caleb unconscious, Jane still had the mood to comfort Lilian, which Celeste found disheartening. Upon Damon's considerate approach, Celeste silently agreed. Jane suddenly realized that she had upset Celeste and felt embarrassed."Cal hasn't woken up yet. How can I possibly ease my mind?" Jane hurriedly moved closer to the bedside."No worries, Mrs. Belasco. I'll bring in more people to take care of Cal. You can rest assured," Liam also politely chimed in."No. I have to wait until Cal wakes up!" Jane's statement was directed at Celeste."You should go back first. I'm more at ease taking care of Cal myself. I don't want to bother you all," Celeste said after a brief silenc

"There are too many people here, which affects my diagnosis for the patient. Everyone, please leave. Leave two people here to watch over him," Fiona said, not going to check on Caleb directly.Jane was stubborn, while Lilian just hung her head, her expression unclear."My man said that the car might have gone to the outskirts of the city, the Six Circle Road. Let's go and investigate." Upon seeing both sides at a standstill, Winston, who had been quiet with a furrowed brow, suddenly spoke up, breaking the deadlock."Mr. Belasco and Mrs. Belasco, I'll assist you. It's not a solution to stay here. Let's wait until Cal wakes up before coming back." Liam's was quick on the uptake and immediately tagged along.Jane didn't insist any further, and she glanced at Celeste again. But Celeste's expression was tense, and she didn't even look at Jane."Then we'll come back later," Lilian softly spoke and went to support Jane.Jane left without a word, slamming the door loud in a fit of rage.

Fiona Davies, at 33 years old, had pursued her studies from undergraduate to doctoral level at universities ranked in top ten globally, specializing in surgical medicine.For someone born into wealth, such a resume was not uncommon. After all, even someone as seemingly clueless as Damon could attend a prestigious university like yGenova. So, of course, Fiona could too.What left Celeste stunned was Fiona's resume that Megan sent her.Unlike the other branch of the Davies family, Fiona's parents were politicians. When she flew abroad to study at the age of 19, she was still the daughter of a high-ranking official. But at 20, her father was disgraced due to involvement in corruption, and even covering tuition and living expenses became a problem.When 20-year-old Fiona learned that her family's assets had been seized, all she had left were a dozen or so luxury bags and two suitcases of clothes that she had taken abroad. She dismissed the servants who had accompanied her abroad an

That day, the surveillance cameras at various intersections captured at least 100 Volkswagens passing by. Damon's and Winston's men spent a whole day tracking down almost every car owner. After checking thoroughly, they cleared all the car owners of any suspicions.But there was only one black Volkswagen that couldn't be found. It seemed to disappear as it headed toward the outskirts on the Six Circle Road.After Caleb regained consciousness. He immediately underwent the leg surgery, with Fiona performing the operation. Celeste waited anxiously outside, eagerly awaiting news while closely monitoring Winston's and Liam's investigation."That car must have fake plates. It switched different license plates along the way in deserted areas. "My men tracked it to the outskirts based on the bloodstains on the left tire after it hit Cal," Winston said.But once it got onto the Six Circle Road, the car disappeared, and there was no trace of it on the next surveillance camera."No nee

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
