Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 547
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

Celeste went to pick up the parcels every day. Today, she finished work early and personally picked up Leo from school. At the door, she let him enter the access code to retrieve the parcel.Among the many parcels, there was one with a leather-like texture that appeared familiar.They carried the parcels into the house and threw them on the carpet in the living room."Mommy, what's this?"Celeste unpacked the other parcels, while Leo opened the leather box first.When she heard the crisp sound from him, she looked over and felt like fainting.It was the "Swan Lake Suite"! A jewelry set worth over 200 million was casually placed in her parcel locker!"It was a moment of foolishness by Mr. Bishop," Celeste said speechlessly."His moment of foolishness is so beautiful."Having inherited her sense of humor, Leo exclaimed as he held the necklace set. "Mr. Bishop has an eye for it."Celeste felt bitter in her heart when she saw her son cherish the necklace set as a treasure."Leo,

"Celeste, have I ever asked anything of you?" Damon's voice lacked emotion but carried a hint of weariness.He had suffered from insomnia for too long. He finally understood Celeste's experience of waking up at midnight."I don't want things that aren't mine," Celeste insisted."You like this necklace set. Just take it as a gift from me for your return to Carlino. Is there any problem with that?" Damon patiently tried to persuade her."I said I don't want it." She didn't take his persuasion."If you don't want it, then throw it on the street." Damon returned to his usual coldness."Damon, don't be like this. I'm a married woman. It's inappropriate for me to accept gifts from another man."This line became Celeste's ultimate weapon.While Sebastian was fooling around with others, she never forgot she was a married woman. Damon only felt a headache. So, he gave a cold snort before hanging up. "Do as you please."Celeste had never used her marital status to deflect anyone durin

Celeste tied her hair into a loose ponytail, wearing a plain white shirt and khaki work pants, with a pair of white high-top canvas shoes. She stood out among the wealthy wives, who were all dressed in fancy silk coats. Her simple outfit stood out in the crowd.Everyone present couldn't help but look at her. But, she was used to being looked at by others and didn't pay any attention to it.Sebastian, though, seemed like a rich dude. He wore the kind of white stand-up collar shirt that young guys usually wear, along with white pants, two-tone gray-white sneakers, and leaned on the racecourse railing, peeping inside.No words were needed. Sebastian and Celeste standing side by side looked like a pair. The two best looking people there were definitely related.Damon looked at them from a distance, feeling frustrated.Sebastian was the one who spotted Damon first. He leaned in close to Celeste and whispered, "Hey, Mr. Bishop is here too," giving her a wink.It was only then Celeste

In speed horse racing, it was all about the horse, not the rider. Even though the skill of the jockey and their level of coordination with the horse were important. But, the performance mainly depended on the horse's speed, endurance, hoof strength, breed, and family lineage.In essence, the role of humans in speed horse racing only accounted for thirty percent. While the other seventy percent was determined by the requirements of the horse. Therefore, generally, the jockeys in speed horse racing were staff members from the racecourse. The smaller and lighter the rider, the less weight the horse had to carry, giving them a real edge.Damon had a purebred horse stabled here, and it was routine for him to swing by and watch before the racing season kicked off. He never thought he would run into Sebastian and Celeste in this situation. But now that he saw them, he felt his temper flaring.No way. If this continued, he would go crazy!The chess players were geared up and ready to

"Who's that?""He's so tall yet runs so well?""This horse's got some skills.""The jockey's got some skills too, he's too handsome!"The reporters on site quickly focused their attention on Damon, neglecting to photograph anyone else."The White Knight and a group of dwarfs," commented an unfamiliar socialite next to Celeste."Horse racing is not a beauty pageant. Saying that is unfriendly to the other jockeys," Celeste defended others.It had to be admitted that Damon's appearance was impressive. With his full gear on, his face was not visible. But with his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and tall stature, no one could take their eyes off him."I didn't say who's who, which shows that you got some bias," the socialite retorted.Celeste was about to speak when cheers erupted from the crowd. In just 2 minutes and 52 seconds, Damon completed the 1.24 miles race in less than 3 minutes!At this moment, he had already ridden his horse to the finish line."The champion is number

Independent women were naturally intrigued about competitive events, and Celeste was no exception. She had never been to a horse race before. But, when Sebastian invited her, she immediately agreed.Sebastian had a playful nature, with a childlike essence deep down.Damon regarded horses as his loyal companions. While Sebastian cherished them like a beloved pet. Winning a prize was nice. But, even if they didn't, they would just simply pat the horse's head and affectionately call it "silly".Sebastian's horse won third place, and he was already very happy. As a companion, Celeste also felt proud."Sophie, you're amazing!" Celeste gently stroked Sophie's ears."Yeah, our little princess Sophie can run so fast!" Sebastian also leaned over, petting and kissing Sophie affectionately.The top three received prizes, with the champion receiving 1.98 million, the runner-up 980 thousand, and Sophie as the third place receiving 380 thousand.Ironically, those who won the awards were a

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
