Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 499
Arno himself appeared taller and more robust than he did on TV, with a pair of sapphire-like eyes, black curly hair, and a bit of stubble on his chin.If Arno stood alongside Spencer, they each exuded their distinct charm, yet didn't seem out of place together.Spencer claimed he was straight. Could that be believed? Celeste pondered as she observed Arno.Meanwhile, Arno was also taking a closer look at Celeste.The girl before him was wearing an ink-printed dress, with her hair tied up in a simple bun.Two elegant silver hairpins crossed in her black hair, giving her the look of a character from an Esado magazine. She was slightly surprised by his sudden appearance, but immediately called out his name.She seemed experienced, a good match for Spencer indeed.Arno's eyes flickered for a moment.It wasn't surprising that Celeste recognized Arno. But, it was not ordinary for Arno to recognize her.Even though she got some buzz on Twitter from a couple of scandals, she knew it

This close interaction was definitely a show for Arno. But, Spencer was clueless, he just thought Celeste was being friendly.Since Damon acknowledged Spencer as his brother, Celeste had become noticeably warmer and more relaxed. It seemed like she genuinely saw herself as Spencer's sister-in-law now.Spencer had certainly entertained thoughts about Celeste, but his feelings weren't as intense. His obsession with her was simply because she was Damon's love interest.Now that Damon and Spencer had made peace, Spencer naturally let go of those feelings.But Arno, witnessing this, was going crazy. He strode over to their table and stood in front of them."Leo, can I talk to you for a moment?" Arno locked eyes with Spencer.That day, after Arno had forcefully kissed him, Spencer was seething with anger and rolled his eyes. "Say it now, or don't say it at all.""Do you love her?" Arno, brushed off by Spencer, had to ask in Frence.Celeste didn't speak Frence, but she had watched Fra

Arno had to stay in the hospital for at least half a month for observation. Celeste thought staying in Franciso was pointless. While Winston could handle losing a few billion without going under, Jane was old and had been emotionally hurt by Lilian. Celeste couldn't leave her alone for too long.What frustrated her was that she didn't even get a chance to explain her intentions to Arno or convey Opulent Prowl's cultural philosophy to him. To Arno, Celeste was just a woman who had been involved in scandals with Spencer.After her initial defeat, Celeste decided to return to Carlino. Success with Monica seemed unlikely, so she needed to think of another way. Perhaps she could talk to Arno after he was discharged from the hospital. Regardless, this approach was not going to work.As for Spencer, he didn't complete his itinerary and stayed in Franciso. Upon seeing Celeste preparing to leave, he asked, "Did you talk to Arno about the investment?"Celeste dodged the question, say

Jennifer had always been known as "someone else's child" since she was young, a label countless parents used. Despite Megan being ten years younger, she couldn't avoid being compared by their parents.Jennifer was outstanding, attractive, and excelled academically. While being able to earn money wasn't a big deal in a business family, being academically successful was seen as a vital aspect for many.So, even though Jennifer didn't get involved in the family business and instead taught at the university, she was still the most respected among the younger Schultz family members.Chester and her parents had set her up with endless money, which meant she could live carefree like a fairy.The encounter with Winston at Chester's birthday banquet left Jennifer feeling a knot in her heart. She had believed it was fate bringing them together, but it turned out Winston's true love was Megan!Jennifer had always been confident. Despite being in her early 30's, she had never been in a

Fiona was a true master of love. She had already done it at an advanced level. Hence, she disdained employing tactics like Jennifer's.She didn't care about the notion that "If one's will does not prevail, one must submit to an alternative." Her only goal was to achieve her objectives.She would occasionally appear before him, attending the same banquets as he did and bidding high on collectables he had his eyes on. She'd even bought a newly built villa in the foothills of Jambuda Mountain, just down the path from where Damon would pass on his way down the mountain.But men and women were different. Men could be pretty oblivious to women who didn’t interest them. Damon didn't even realise she was doing it to get close to him or that she'd moved.Thus, he was surprised when Fiona asked for a ride in his car at the party.Fiona approached Damon in a red V-neck gown. "Can I get a ride home with you? My driver took the day off, and I'm too drunk to drive.""It's not convenient. Why d

Fiona breathed softly into Damon's ear. She sounded like she was determined to win.Damon frowned and pushed her out of the car without hesitation."Fiona, if you're out of your mind, go see a doctor. And stop harassing me or, believe it or not, I'll put you in jail."No sooner had he spoken than the car drove off. Fiona stared blankly at the back of his vehicle while lost in thought.Inviting Damon to her house for coffee wasn't just about the coffee, nor was it as simple as seeking a chance encounter. Fiona was eager to test Damon's boundaries.However, Damon didn't seem interested in her at all. The less interested he appeared, the more he piqued Fiona's appetite. How in the world could there be a man she couldn't conquer? Impossible!Harry confined her two children, and Fiona knew she couldn't get them back on her own. Harry's stance was clear. Either she handed over custody of the children to him, and they would each get a third of his inheritance when they grew up, or he wo

"Are you okay?" Celeste exclaimed in shock."Don't worry, I'm fine," Damon reassured her as he drove as fast as he could despite being startled by the bullet that had just swept past him.The windows on both sides of the car shattered into pieces. The cold wind whistled in their ears. All Damon had in his mind was to get the car to the downtown area as quickly as possible!Their enemies would be wary in a crowded area, and they would be safer.The car got onto the overpass. Celeste looked out from the rear windshield of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan and saw two modified black Volkswagens following them. One of the cars even had old blood stains on its wheels. It was likely the one that had run over Caleb!The two Volkswagens were getting closer and closer. Suddenly, one of them leaned out from the car window.Bang! Bang! He shot bullets on the Rolls-Royce Cullinan's front tyres.The Rolls-Royce Cullinan lost its balance and tipped over. The other car slammed into the overturned vehicle

Celeste stared blankly at the man lying in the ICU bed. Her heart ached so intensely that it felt like it was being squeezed.Damon's head and face had been cleaned and bandaged, but it was still evident that he had been badly injured. His eyes were swollen. His face and head were also larger than usual.He was on oxygen and hooked up to various devices. There were no signs of him waking up.Serena was said to have fainted when she came to see her son's condition. Only Liam, Nicholas and Jasper were currently outside, keeping watch."His heart should be stable for now, but due to the severity of his brain injury, there's an eighty per cent chance he'll become a vegetable, and the remaining twenty per cent chance depends on fate." Fiona was a different person from her usual self at work. She showed her strictest attitude as a doctor.Celeste moistened her dry throat with saliva. "Please, Fiona, I beg you to save him.""I'll do my best. However, you can't always stay here. Family m

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
Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 752
"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
