"Is that Sebastian?" Afraid of making mistakes, Damon asked Liam beside him.Liam, who had been gossiping about his boss' scandal for a long time, immediately recognized Sebastian. "Yes, he is."They hadn't expected Sebastian to be flirting with another woman behind Celeste's back.Was that what Celeste meant by he treated her well?Damon's expression darkened. Amidst the colorful lights of the club, he seemed unusually cold."Mr. Bishop, I think it's better not to intervene in this matter."Liam had spent several years by Damon's side. He had a keen sense of judgment and knew when to speak up. His preemptive interference surprised Damon."Are you worried about me?" Damon glanced at him."I just think it's Ms. York's family issues. It's best not to interfere too much." Liam didn't want to see Damon's desolate and painful side anymore."Don't interfere? How can I watch Celeste be kept in the dark?" Damon sneered and stood up.Damon followed Sebastian and his partner as they mo
“Cece, your ex-husband bullied me!" Sebastian complained pitifully to Celeste with a bruised eye.Celeste was shocked. "Why did Damon cause trouble again?"They had agreed to part ways amicably. Why was he still entangling her? He even went to bother Sebastian. He lacked proper etiquette."I was dating my crush at the club. Damon happened to see us..." Sebastian recounted the whole incident to Celeste, complaining non-stop.He grumbled discontentedly, "I can't tell him that we're in a sham marriage. If he finds out, he might continue to harass you!"Celeste massaged her temples helplessly. "It doesn't matter if you tell him, but... Sebby, you're tall and younger than him. Why didn't you hit back? Why did you let him bully you?"He was slightly younger than her. She always called him Sebby. He liked that nickname."After all, I'm the 'cheater'. I'm in the wrong. If I had hit him, wouldn't you feel sorry for him?" Sebastian rolled his eyes."He's only my ex-husband. Why should I
Damon hesitated for a long time whether to tell Celeste the truth.According to her, she had gone through the most difficult times with Sebastian.If he, as an outsider, exposed Sebastian's affair, it might be seen as an attempt to sow discord.Firstly, it would be impolite; secondly, it would be too embarrassing for Celeste. How could he bear to embarrass her? Earlier, she had declared to him that they should forget each other. She stated she would live well with Sebastian. However, she would face Sebastian's infidelity.Ultimately, he couldn't bear to disgrace her. But what did she do?She was pleasing Sebastian's parents by acting like a diligent daughter-in-law. She paid a lot, but Sebastian betrayed her. How could Damon stand to see Sebastian keep her in the dark?Damon grew impulsive and blocked Celeste at the hotel entrance.She had just spent a whole day accompanying Sebastian's parents on a tour and had arranged for them in a five-star hotel nearby.Even though they we
Celeste couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Just let him do whatever he wants!"Her reaction startled Damon. It turned out that she had known the truth all along.She was aware that Sebastian was fooling around outside, yet she could still pretend to be affectionate with him and respect his parents."Celeste, did you know that? When you first got together with me, Nicholas and Jasper stated you were the kind of person who would kill me and smear my door with blood if I betrayed you."Damon spoke bitterly with a hint of hoarseness."But now, where is your pride? What has smoothed out your pride and dignity?"Celeste knew he had misunderstood, but she didn't want to explain too much. She could only say, "Damon, every person will change."She wanted to leave quickly, but Damon leaned against her car door. He showed no signs of giving in."Is it because I hurt you?" If that experience made her less confident, cautious, and submissive, he would be a sinner."That's not important. Wh
It was an unexpected kiss. Celeste froze on the spot and forgot to breathe for a moment.Damon's kiss was aggressive and possessive, forcing his tongue into her mouth.She wanted to move, but he held her waist tightly, leaving her no space to struggle.They remained entangled in silence. Celeste didn't speak. She only wanted to push him away, while Damon held her waist tightly with one hand and reached behind her back with the other, hugging her tightly.He missed her so much. He wanted her so badly.Damon's thoughts were overwhelmed with the buzzing noise. His eyes turned red, and he was already losing his mind under the control of love and desire."Baby, I miss you."His words were like a spell that engulfed Celeste's heart. She couldn't help but shed tears.After thousands of days, he wasn't the only one thinking about her. She was also the one who felt tormented every night by the loss of her loved one, nearly dying in a foreign land.Warm tears dropped upon Damon's should
Christie's Auction House announced early this week that a set of Princess Danielle's jewelry was going to be publicly auctioned. As a jewelry professional, Celeste naturally had to attend.For such high-value collections with starting bids in the eight digits, real buyers rarely showed up in person. Most of the deals were finalized over the phone by auction house staff.Celeste was an exception.She wanted to witness the splendor of Princess Danielle's jewelry firsthand. So, even if she didn't win any bids, she could still enjoy the sight. Moreover, as a jewelry professional, it was reasonable and not ostentatious even if she made a high bid.She was prepared to declare her presence among the mysterious buyers. To her surprise, as soon as she entered, she saw Damon sitting in the front row, upright and composed.Despite his black mask, she recognized him at first glance.He was in a white casual suit and sat with his legs crossed. He wasn't wearing a tie and was in a pair of slig
Celeste was struggling with her thoughts. When Damon nudged her elbow, she was so startled that she dropped her number plate to the ground. She bent down to pick it up, her face blushing.He moved ahead of her, picking up the plate and handing it to her. She detected his neroli scent. As if unintentionally, he touched her palm, causing her breath to halt for a moment.It reminded her of a renowned domestic painter who encountered an actress on the plane.That stunning beauty, who could captivate all men with her charm, had been asleep since boarding the plane. The painter woke her up to have the meal. His heart raced with excitement as he passed her meal from the stewardess."Just passing things to her can be romantic," the painter reminisced.Somehow, Celeste recalled that romantic encounter."Thank you," she said softly, her face growing hotter.Damon didn't respond. Instead, he raised an eyebrow and blinked meaningfully.Was she shy?He had meticulously arranged for such an
Damon smiled beneath the mask, his eyes teasing as he glanced at her. "What's wrong? Are you worried about your husband's money?"Husband? Legally, her husband was Sebastian.Celeste didn't bother to argue with him. "I almost forgot. The Bishops resemble a money-printing machine. You can afford whatever you desire. Throwing a few billion around is no problem for you."She didn't know why he was interested in this necklace set. She felt it was fine. Although she liked it, it was unnecessary to spend several times the expected price to buy it.The other party didn't bid again."30 million once.""30 million twice.""30 million thrice.""Sold! Congratulations to Mr. Bishop for becoming the owner of Princess Danielle's Swan Lake Suite!"The auctioneer's voice sounded. It was a done deal. Celeste looked at Damon with a hint of sympathy.She never expected him to be an easy touch. Was he a fan of Princess Danielle? How could he, who appeared to prefer a graceful woman, be so infatu
