Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 577
Back to Megan and Winston.In order to get rid of Mark that day, Dora claimed that Winston was her fiance. In fact, she had ulterior motives. While her public persona was that of an ethereal, otherworldly fairy, in reality, she was a fierce competitor. She didn't care how old the other person was. As long as they were a woman, Dora saw them as competition.Her visit to Taverdale had reignited her competitive spirit when she encountered Megan, who was youthful, beautiful, and unaware of her charms. That was why she somewhat played along when she went out late with Mark.Having Winston come to her rescue and potentially progress their relationship was a win for her. Even if Winston hadn't shown up and she had ended up sleeping with Mark, she wouldn’t have seen it as a loss. It would have just been another way to advance her career.It was out of a sense of friendship that Winston woke up from his sleep just to save her. He was unaware of Dora's scheming and did not take it to heart.

Winston knew Megan had misunderstood the situation, but he wasn’t worried because his actions were simply a favor for a friend in need. He had no romantic interest in Dora, so he felt no guilt.Thus, Winston explained the entire situation about that night to Megan."Are you saying it’s okay to randomly claim someone as your fiance?"After hearing the story, Megan replied icily, "No wonder that man looked at me with such disdain. He must have thought I was the type to trade youth for money, knowing full well you're taken."Winston was also a victim in a way. When he saw Megan's upset expression, he felt tightness in his chest. "Meg, I didn't say those things. It was Dora, speaking without thinking in a rush. I’ve already reprimanded her for that incident. There’s nothing between us. We’ve been together for many years, and you know what kind of person I am. Surely, there’s still some trust left between us?""Of course, I believe you. After all, you are Winston! What a loyalist you a

When a girl got hurt in a love relationship, her favorite thing to do was to visit her best friend, and Megan was no exception.She went straight to Celeste's place that very night.Celeste was watching a science documentary with Leo when she heard the sound of a car in the driveway and smiled. "Your godmother is here."Megan, being the only person besides the Belasco family who could enter the York residence without prior notice, was well known to the gatekeeper.Celeste held Leo's hand and went out to greet her when she saw Megan stepping out of the car with a somber expression."Love, what a profound thing. It asks us to pledge our very lives," Leo murmured to Celeste. Then, he ran ahead to take Megan’s bag."Aunt Megan," he greeted her sweetly.Interestingly, Leo was a quiet kid who rarely spoke, but he always had more than a few words to say to his godmother, Megan. Even though he had only seen her a few times when he was abroad, the two of them had bonded incredibly well u

Megan wasn't one to create drama without reason, and Celeste understood her sense of helplessness."It really does prove Lilian's words that if I want to surpass the dead in Winston's heart, it seems there's no other way than dying myself." Megan leaned back on the couch. Her tone of voice was filled with desolation."Why are you listening to her? Lilian is dead. Jane and Winston would both feel resentment if she was brought up. You're jealous because Winston remembers his late wife. Still, if Winston forgot about her, you'd like him even less, right?" Celeste knew Megan well. Beneath her kindness, Megan's attachment to Winston started with his looks but grew deeper because of his character."You're right," Megan responded gloomily."It's just unexpected that Dora would act this way. If a man willingly plays her fiance to save her, that's one thing, but for her to say that while he has a girlfriend is inappropriate." Celeste, who had never met Dora, disapproved of her behavior.Wa

Although Mark wasn't a good guy, he had pretty straightforward thoughts about this. He didn't even consider that this was Tom's problem. He first sent a WhatsApp message to Dora with a photo of Winston feeding Megan some tuna. Upon seeing that she didn't reply, he called her after five minutes.Mark said, "Winston was single for so many years not because of loyalty. I think he just relies on his good looks to fool around and has no intention of marrying you. "Dora, you might as well marry me. I'll take care of you. I advise you to come back to your senses."Mark liked to use different phrases to describe situations, regardless of whether or not the timing was appropriate. After all, one of his sensitive topics was his uncultured upbringing. In fact, after seeing Winston again, Mark had yet another sensitive topic—he wasn't handsome.Of course, Winston and Megan were the real couple, and Dora naturally knew what was going on. Telling one lie required countless more lies to co

When she saw Megan, Dora displayed unusually warm enthusiasm toward her. She held her hand and led her toward the restaurant with an affectionate demeanor that seemed even closer than sisters. Although Megan wasn't accustomed to physical contact with unfamiliar people, she endured the discomfort she felt and allowed Dora to settle her into a chair.During the meal, Dora apologized first, saying, "I was so scared that day. When I saw Winston, it felt like I was grasping at a lifeline, so I ended up speaking out of turn. Megan, you're not jealous, are you?" Megan's uneasiness didn't stem from jealousy, as she never suspected Winston of having any other feelings for her. The insecurity she felt was because of Winston and his ex-wife Blossom. It had nothing to do with Dora. But of course, Megan wouldn't tell Dora about this. "Everyone has moments when they need help. I trust Winston's character, and I trust you, Ms. Cruz," she replied succinctly.Dora paused for a moment, then smi

As Megan raised a toast to Dora, she complimented, "Ms. Cruz is a beautiful person. Regardless of whether you're in your 40s or 60s, there would still be countless suitors lining up from all around the world. "I used to think you had no interest in marriage, but now it seems otherwise. So I wish for you to truly find your fiancé, someone who will protect and love you." The way Megan phrased her words was a perfect blend of firmness and politeness—she conveyed her stance while maintaining a graceful demeanor. It made it difficult for Dora to confront her.Dora finally realized that she had underestimated this seemingly gentle girl. Having been in the entertainment industry since her teens, Dora thought she had seen it all and considered herself knowledgeable about the world.In her eyes, Megan was like a sheltered flower who couldn't handle setbacks or betrayals—someone who wouldn't dare to retaliate even if stabbed in the back. Now, this sheltered flower had revealed her thorns,

The matter at hand wasn't particularly significant. But ever since Lester's previous behavior, the Bishop's had been trying to avoid letting Lester and Leo meet. Coincidentally this time, the staff who usually accompanied Lester had to take leave to attend to family matters. Therefore, Lester was sent back to the old mansion for a few days.Leo happened to encounter him during his visit on Saturday.Kayden, who was on summer break, was also at the Bishop residence. He volunteered to take Leo and Lester out to play in the garden.Five years had passed, and Kayden was now a fourth-grade elementary school student. Lester and Leo were also of similar age. Lester was reprimanded for his rudeness previously and thus didn't show any hostility this time. Leo was more mature and naturally didn't engage with him on the same level. Under Kayden's guidance, they initially got along well.The conflict between the two children arose over an hour after they met. Kayden was momentarily distrac

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
