Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 53 Cheating On Her
It read, "Twenty years later, the Bishop family's eldest grandson will tie the knot with the York family's eldest daughter. Consider this emerald pendant and engagement agreement as evidence. Yours truly, James Bishop."Damon recognized the familiar golden script as his grandfather's handwriting. The engagement agreement did not mention a specific name. It simply referred to "the York family's eldest daughter." In James's final years, as he battled severe Alzheimer's, he lost the ability to recognize anyone when the York family came to visit. Naturally, the Bishop family accepted Shannon as the sole daughter of the York family.The York family was respected among Taverdale's elite, but the Bishops, with their long-established lineage, held an even more esteemed position. Their wealth had been in the family for generations, unlike the Yorks, who acquired their fortune in recent years. Due to these differences, the elders of the Bishop family could not understand James's intentio

At Jasper's office, Megan sat in the reception area and waited until 11:00 pm. While sipping her third cup of coffee, he finally returned after finishing his tasks."What couldn't be said over the phone that required a late-night visit?" he asked her.He ruffled her hair and sat across from her. As the prospective head of the Schultz family, he was undeniably the busiest among the siblings. Despite being cousins, it was not unusual for months to pass without them crossing paths."Jasper, I wanted to talk to you about Celeste and Damon." Megan went straight to the point. He had gotten hold of the latest marketing draft she sent out for Celeste. That was how Megan found out about the close relationship between Jasper and Damon."Oh? What's she after now?" Jasper had only crossed paths with Celeste a few times, but his biases ran deep.In his view, Celeste was cunning, icy, and ready to go to any lengths to get what she wanted. So, when Megan broached the subject, he grew even more

No matter what she did, Celeste could not fall asleep again.She searched the internet for the name "Leah Sullivan." It was not difficult to find Leah, given her name and family background.Leah was five years older than Celeste and the founder of a renowned jewelry brand. Despite her success, Leah had the face of a campus idol drama heroine—innocent and sweet.The gossip surrounding her and Damon was even more intriguing. However, Megan's narration about spending tens of millions of dollars just to make a woman happy sounded a bit too disguised. However, the online gossip forums painted a vivid picture of the drama.The gossip making the rounds hinted that Leah, under family pressure, married a financial tycoon from Xiandora. This supposedly triggered Damon to seal off his emotions and throw himself wholeheartedly into his career.In two years, he grew the Bishop Group into a leading company with assets worth billions.Meanwhile, Leah divorced the tycoon when Damon and Shannon's

Damon wrapped his arm around Celeste's waist and led her into the master bedroom."You're quite generous," he remarked, closing the door with a disdainful snort.She could not be bothered to justify herself. She respected his choices, providing him with an opportunity to relive an unforgettable first love. Should he not be grateful?"Thank you." She grabbed a fresh bathrobe and walked to the bathroom.But he grabbed her arm and pinned her down onto the bed. His arms propped on either side of her body. He looked down at her with a blend of inquiry and desire in his eyes."Celeste, why the rush to pass me off to someone else?" he questioned.When Damon returned home that night to find Celeste sitting alone in the yard, he initially regretted leaving her. Little did he expect that she would willingly grab her pillow and offer the bedroom to Leah.He used to have feelings for Leah a while back, but things have changed. Now, their relationship was more like that of friends. A few d

At 2:00 am, Damon sat at the Echo Club and downed one drink after another with a scowl etched on his face. Jasper and Nicholas exchanged glances, and it was Nicholas who finally asked, "So, did you leave the two women alone at home?""Yeah," Damon said simply."I'm worried your departure might lead to Celeste bullying Leah, considering Celeste's temperament," Jasper commented, clearly forming opinions about Celeste."No, she won't." Damon shook his head.He continued, "Celeste insisted on giving the master bedroom to Leah today. Judging by her attitude, she might kick me out, too.""Really? What's going on in her mind?" Nicholas became intrigued. "She went through a lot to win you over."Damon's scowl deepened. He had no idea what was going on in her mind. If she wanted to throw a fit or torment Leah, he could handle it. But Celeste's earlier attitude made him feel like he would be cringing if he tried to appease her."Maybe she had heard something," Jasper mused, pouring hims

As Damon extended the olive branch, Leah's eyes sparkled with satisfaction as she savored the moment.Glancing at Celeste as if remembering something, Leah quickly said, "Danny and I grew up together. We're used to this banter. Ms. York won't mind, right?""Of course not," Celeste replied without lifting her head, engrossed in a struggle with the meatballs on her plate.Knowing that Leah's words were laced with provocation, Celeste chose to ignore them.She had not slept well. Her appetite decreased after just two bites, leaving her feeling uneasy."If you can't eat, don't force it," Damon finally spoke, concern evident in his voice. He had intended to care for her, but his tone unintentionally seemed to express annoyance at Celeste's presence."Enjoy your meal then." Feeling a bit uneasy, she smiled politely. She gently placed her utensils down and retreated upstairs with her coffee.Damn, what was that awkward smile that felt worse than tears? If she was jealous, she should ju

Celeste and Megan had arranged to look for a house together. When she stepped out, the latter's car was already waiting nearby."You worked so hard for this marriage. Are you giving up just like that?" asked Megan.She had not expected Celeste to give up so easily."I don't have a choice. The rival is too strong. Besides, Shannon can't marry Damon, so I've achieved my goal," Celeste replied with a wry smile.There was a reason why she acted without restraint when Damon was dating Shannon. It was because she could sense Damon's feelings for Shannon weren't steadfast.On the other hand, Leah had been his crush since his youth. She was his unforgettable first love. What did Celeste have to compete with her?"Well, luckily, you aren't in love with Damon. As long as he doesn't divorce you and marry Leah, you won't be considered a loser."Megan stood by her initial viewpoint. She turned around and saw a hint of sadness in Celeste's eyes. Suddenly, Megan froze."No way, Celeste. Are y

Celeste could not dodge in time. Hence, Shannon scratched her face with her sharp nails. "Shannon York, it seems like you won't learn from your mistakes if I don't teach you a lesson!" Celeste yelled.She immediately counterattacked. In no time, she was in a scuffle with Shannon.When Megan returned, the two were in a fierce fight. She picked up a stone from the roadside and smashed it against Shannon's head.As the trio came to a stop, Shannon was already clutching the back of her head, howling in pain."Don't let me see you again, Shannon York! Otherwise, you'll regret it!" Megan shouted fiercely.After that, together with Celeste, they got into the car.In the car, Celeste seethed with anger as her chest rose and fell. She then took deep breaths to calm down.Next to her, Megan used an alcohol wipe to clean Celeste's wound.She frowned with concern, saying, "Cel, the York family is still somewhat wary even though you're in a relationship with Damon."After you separated f

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
