Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 58 Address Her As Mrs. Bishop
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

Celeste wasn't sure if it was an illusion. However, as soon as those words came out of her mouth, she sensed a lingering chill in the air."I know it's embarrassing to contradict myself after saying I don't want anything. But I'm still a victim, after all …"Celeste noticed the displeasure on Damon's face. Thus, she quickly softened her tone."Tell me your conditions, then," Damon commented patiently.He thought Celeste should be grateful for the injury on her face. If it weren't because he sympathized with her, he would have flown into a rage already."Um … I heard Henry plans to participate in a bidding process. Can you help me sabotage the Campbell family's chances in the bid?"Of course, don't feel pressured. If it's truly inconvenient, I'll think of another way …"As Celeste spoke, her confidence dwindled with each word. In the end, her voice grew softer."Celeste, is there someone else you like?" Danom asked, staring right into her eyes.His gaze was piercing as he wante

At the York residence, Hannah vented her frustrations on Henry. She was overwhelmed with sadness at the sight of her daughter with bandages wrapped around her head."Henry, just look at what your daughter has done! I can't believe she has beaten Shan to such an extent!"Celeste is nothing but trouble! And now, she has even registered her marriage with Damon. There's no more hope for the York family!"Damon had fulfilled his promise by investing a large sum in the York family. It was enough to sustain them for a while.Nevertheless, Hannah was infuriated that Shannon could not marry into the Bishop family."I've said everything I could. I even threatened her. What else can I do?" Henry asked, shrugging helplessly.He continued, "I've warned you not to push Sylvia and Celeste too far. Had we not driven Sylvia to death back then, it would still benefit us even after Celeste married into the Bishop family."But now, that stupid girl harbors nothing but hatred for our family!""Henr

Celeste had always been a woman of few words. But this time, she was surprisingly talkative. Thus, Megan instantly sensed that she was in love."When did you ever behave like this? Something's not right," Megan said matter-of-factly.Upon hearing those words, Celeste answered somewhat awkwardly, "I don't think so.""You're the kind of person who would easily devote yourself entirely to something. You don't even care about the consequences or consider the toll it takes."At that point, Megan's tone became serious. Although she did not understand Damon as an individual, she was aware of Celeste's infatuation and stubbornness.She continued, "It's best if you can spend your whole life with Damon. I just hope that if something happens, you don't hurt yourself because of it.""Megan, the only reason I approached him is to seek revenge. I know my limits," Celeste responded with waning confidence.Uncertain about her feelings for Damon, she even considered that falling in love with som

Celeste pondered for a moment. Since using an e-hailing service was inconvenient, she reckoned riding with Damon was better.So, she took a seat at the dining table before asking, "Are you okay with this? Will this be troublesome for you?"Deep down, Celeste hoped everyone knew she was married to Damon. However, he had wed a woman with such a unique status. So, she figured he would want to keep it private."No problem. I'm just giving one of my employees a ride."Damon remained stubborn. Yet, the words that came out did not align with his true feelings."Okay."Celeste was still basking in the joy of being able to work at Prestige. Although she was somewhat uncomfortable with what Damon had said, she did not dwell on it.She did not eat much for breakfast, but a subtle smile tugged at her lips. Damon's heart fluttered at the sight of her in such a state.Meanwhile, the driver had been waiting at the door for half an hour.Damon leisurely finished his breakfast and elegantly wi

When Damon and Celeste arrived at Davidson Hospital, Caleb had completed the pre-surgery preparations. At that point, he was already in the operating room."Family member, please sign here. It's better to do the heart transplant as soon as possible," Nicholas stated as he approached them.He skipped the pleasantries and immediately handed the surgical risk disclosure form to Celeste.Celeste's hand trembled violently. She could neither read the contents of the form nor write. Then, she took a deep breath, trying to compose herself.At that moment, Damon's hand enveloped hers as he helped her sign the form."He'll be fine. Trust me," he said in a low voice."Okay."There was a slight nasal tone in Celeste's voice. Seeing her in such a vulnerable state tugged at his heartstrings.Caleb's surgery lasted for over four hours. During that time, Celeste waited outside without moving.Damon could not bear to watch any longer. He took her to a chair outside the operating room before gi

Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 753
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
