Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 488
But in the following weeks, things didn't go down the way Celeste had figured.Celeste expected Fiona would come frequently, and in the midst of her busy schedule, she'd have to divert her attention to prevent interference in hers and Damon's relationship. However, Fiona's attitude didn't change much.When Celeste took Caleb for a follow-up appointment, Fiona had just finished a five-hour surgery, her eyes heavy with exhaustion. Celeste was about to suggest switching doctors, but Fiona waved her off.With extreme patience, Fiona checked on Caleb's leg recovery situation and arranged for him to have an X-ray. "Don't worry. I won't do anything unethical just because I have feelings for Damon," Fiona said after Caleb was sent out by the nurse.Leaning back against the leather chair, Fiona seemed to want to talk with Celeste.Celeste was taken aback. She thought Fiona would play dumb or at least not mention her intention with Damon. Celeste hadn't expected Fiona to be so upfro

Celeste retorted, "If I morally condemn you, will you give up?"Fiona shook her head. "No.""In that case, there's nothing more to say. Ms. Davies, just do whatever you want to do. "Damon and I might just have you in our fate. If we can make it through, we'll grow old together. If not, maybe our destiny has reached its end."Celeste didn't want to talk further. So, she left Fiona's office.After a while, Caleb returned from his X-ray, and the nurse pushed him back into Fiona's office for another examination, leaving Celeste waiting on a bench outside.As Celeste watched the closed door of the examination room, she suddenly felt a pang in her chest.Her intuition had always been accurate. Despite promising Damon they would remarry after her mission in the gambling city, Celeste couldn't shake the feeling things wouldn't go so smoothly. And now, a new challenge arised.Shannon, Leah, and Sherry were essentially similar types of women. They appeared innocent and delicate on the s

To Megan's surprise, right after she sent the text message, Winston actually called her.Staring at the vibrating phone for a while, Megan was unsure how to respond. There was no intention to hang up from Winston's end. The phone just kept ringing until it disconnected on its own. Then, he called again.Taking a deep breath, Megan reluctantly answered the call."Meg, still not asleep?" Winston's voice came through, surprisingly warm and refined.Megan's breath caught. "Yeah.""Tomorrow's gonna be chillier. Don't forget to layer up and grab an umbrella. Might be some rain.""Okay.""When are you coming back to the country?""In a while.""Take care of yourself.""Okay."Chatting is supposed to be an exchange, but Megan's responses were few, resulting in a conversation that quickly fizzled out.Through all these days she left the country, Megan couldn't deny that she had missed Winston, even if just a little. But upon hearing his voice, she didn't know what to say to him,

"Lily is gone..." Jane said hoarsely as she held onto Lilian's lifeless body.Even though she had prepared herself mentally beforehand, Jane was still overwhelmed with grief. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face while her shoulders trembled with sobs.Over the years, Lilian had always been by Jane's side, like her granddaughter. Lilian's death felt like the shattering of her world.Winston had always treated Lilian like family. So, he was also deeply saddened. With red-rimmed eyes, he comforted Jane for a long time until she finally calmed down slightly."Lily was such a sweetheart," Jane remarked. She recalled all the wonderful things about Lilian and shared them with Winston. He listened intently, feeling a tightness in his chest. "I know," he said hoarsely. The news of Lilian's passing quickly spread to Celeste. Upon rushing back to the Belasco residence, she found Lilian's lawyer, Jimmy Clark already present, briefing the family on Lilian's final arrangement. In rec

Within a week after Lilian passed away, the Primax Group had three bid documents leaked consecutively, totaling over 200 billion. This sum represented nearly three years' worth of profit for the Belasco family due to the poor market conditions in the past two years. With thousands of people in the company working hard for three years, Winston felt like the weight of the world was suddenly on his shoulders.Winston always kept his confidential documents in his office safe, and he was the only one who knew the password.He tossed and turned all night, thinking about who messed with his things and leaked the information.Due to the large amount of money involved, a special team was put together to investigate the entire company. All the clues pointed to Lilian!That day, when Lilian came by to deliver Winston supper, she secretly placed a hidden camera near his office desk, aiming directly at the safe.The Primax Group had lost the bid, while another big construction company, the

Megan had remained silent all along. Upon hearing Winston's words, she stood up and walked over, slamming her palm on his desk. If it weren't for the tiredness in his face, that slap would have aimed for his face."Winston, do I even get a say in this?" she demanded."Hmm?" Winston looked up, surprised by her sudden assertiveness.Megan had always been obedient, and her demeanor akin to that of a lady. But now, she seemed angry."I messed up first, okay? But that doesn't mean you get to boss me around in our relationship. I can't decide whether to stay or go? How can you be so arrogant!" Megan was trembling with anger, her face turned pale as she let out her frustration. Winston leaned in, holding her hand tight. Megan tried to pull away in frustration, but he tightened his grip."It's okay to be mad. But, don't ever do it again," he said, gently rubbing her reddening palm and blowing on it as if comforting a child."You should be glad I didn't hit you!" Megan snapped at hi

Celeste scooped up a chicken noodle soup, cooled it off, and offered it to Jane. Upon hearing Celeste's remark, Jane sat up abruptly, her eyes welling up with tears as she looked at Celeste."I... gave her my everything!"Celeste remained silent for a while, fully aware how much effort Jane had put into Lilian. Lilian's actions not only caused huge losses for the Belasco family. They also cut deep into Jane's heart."I witnessed her struggle with cancer in the advanced stages. There were moments when I chose to overlook her faults, even when I knew she was in the wrong. Regrettably, my actions led to mistreatment toward you on several occasions. I foolishly believed there would be plenty of opportunities in the future to make things right with you. But she…"I'm sorry, Cece." Jane reached out, hugging Celeste and wiping away her tears.Celeste wrapped her arms around Jane. "Let's not talk about this, Grandma. Your blood runs through my veins, and that won't change because of

"You and Monica's founder, Arno, are both Francisian. And you both are involved in the fashion design industry. So, I thought you might have something in common," Celeste said with a hint of resignation."You and Arno are both in the fashion industry, yet you still can't seem to connect," Sylvie said, switching back to Latish."That's true," Celeste sighed. It seemed that attracting investment from Monica wouldn't be so simple.Based on the theory of six degrees of separation, it was believed that any two people in the world can be connected through a chain of six intermediaries. In this situation, it seemed unlikely that Celeste could establish a connection with Monica's founder using Sylvie as an intermediary."I'm desperate for this. Can you please help me think of a way, Sylvie?" Celeste felt a sense of urgency and pleaded with Sylvie, holding her hand with hopeful eyes."Well, there's someone I know who might be able to help. It's just..." Sylvie hesitated.Usually straigh

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
