Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 583
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

Leo was always a child of few words. On the way back, he remained silent.Noticing his silence, Celeste drove quietly without saying a word. She would occasionally check his state through the rearview mirror.Leo furrowed his brows slightly while sitting in his child seat, lost in thought. He seemed to be doing okay overall."It's a wasted weekend if it ends like this. Mommy will take you somewhere." Celeste suddenly decided on a whim."Mommy, aren't you mad at me for hitting Lester?" Leo looked up in confusion.After she saw his expression, Celeste felt a pang in her heart.Celeste said slowly, "Sweetheart, although you are intelligent, you're too good at reasoning and not good at expressing emotions. Parents have a mindset to protect their child, okay?"Leo had a puzzled expression after hearing what Celeste said.As Celeste slowly turned the car at the intersection ahead, she explained gently to Leo, "Mommy believes in you and knows you wouldn't hit Lester for no reason.

Celeste honked the car horn, and the security guard opened the automatic gate for her. Damon's car followed her into the courtyard. After she parked the car, she went to the back to unbuckle Leo's seat belt, and that's when Damon walked over as well."Leo, let's have a chat," he said again. Leo had spent most of the day playing, and his mood had improved somewhat. He nodded, waiting for Damon to continue."Lester is indeed immature, but he's only three years old. Leo, as a mature child, you shouldn't fight with him," Damon said.Damon's words were essentially the same as what Celeste had told Leo previously when she advised him not to argue with Lester. She said it in hopes that Leo would become a more generous person.However, the difference was that Celeste was Leo's biological mother. She was the one who raised Leo, so of course, she could say such things. But when Damon said the same words, it carried a different meaning.Leo pouted, clearly unhappy by what Damon was implying.

Damon sighed. "Leo is also my child. Why would I not want to trust him? However, we need to analyze this matter rationally and objectively. Celeste, Lester and Leo's intelligence levels are different. In this situation, Lester is inevitably the weaker one."Celeste couldn't help but chuckle at Damon's train of thought. "Then what's your purpose in coming here? To make Leo apologize?" she questioned."If he did something wrong, he should apologize," Damon said stubbornly."You believe in your son, and I also believe in mine. I believe in what Leo told me. I want Lester to come and apologize," Celeste said firmly as she stood her ground.Just like that, two adults started fighting because of the conflict between two three-year-old children.Damon suddenly revealed to Celeste the truth about a past incident. "Leo's mind is indeed more mature. Did you know? Last time, when Leo fell off the swing, it was intentional…"He is intelligent and thoughtful. But sometimes, he may resort to a

"Of course, I love him! Celeste, the heavens can testify to that. Leo is my grandson. How could I not love him?" Serena had become more emotional. "Even if I didn't side with him in this matter, that's because I know he is smarter with an overwhelming advantage over Lester. But it doesn't mean I should treat Lester poorly and favor my own grandson!"Although Serena was full of grievances, Celeste also felt sorry for Leo. She said calmly, "Your attitude toward this matter has hurt Leo. I indeed don't intend to let him visit the Bishops anymore. "However, it was Leo himself who proposed to attend tutoring classes on Sundays. His intentions were very clear."The meaning behind Celeste's words seemed to have struck Serena hard, and she widened her eyes. "Is what you said true?"Celeste nodded. "Of course. I have no reason to deceive you."At first, Celeste didn't know how to broach the subject with Leo. But then suddenly on a Friday, Leo told her that he wanted to attend a children

Kayden had always been favored in the Bishop family. Every summer and winter vacation, he would stay at the Bishop residence where Serena would take care of him, providing him with good food and entertainment. This summer was no exception.One day, Kayden was watching a movie in the TV room when Lester ran in, deliberately trying to attract his attention by circling him.Engrossed in the movie, Kayden picked up Lester and held him in his arms to prevent him from causing trouble. Lester was temporarily immobilized. His big eyes stared at the screen and darted around.The movie Kayden was watching was a Franciso film in the original language. It began with a man passing away and leaving all his property to his illegitimate son in his will. Lester couldn't understand and kept asking questions."Uncle, who is that?""What's going on?"Kayden felt annoyed by his questions and casually replied, "This person is called Leon. His father passed away and left all his property to him. The pe

Serena's eyes seemed to darken momentarily. After thinking about it, she reached out and placed her hand on Kayden's shoulder."Kayden, promise me you'll keep this matter confidential," she earnestly instructed.Kayden nodded. After a moment of thought, he said, "But Leo is really upset. Can I go see him?""Of course. He is your nephew. I'm happy that you like him so much," Serena said.The men of the Bishop family were expected to be calm and restrained, to keep their emotions hidden. Damon had been brought up this way since childhood, and now Kayden was following suit. By now, ten-year-old Kayden had gradually mastered how to hide his emotions. If it weren't for the fact that Serena knew him so well, she wouldn't have noticed that he was more partial to Leo.There was a saying in high society, "Even if there's an earthquake, the Bishop men must finish their coffee, put on their suits and fasten their cufflinks, then only leisurely make their way down".

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
