Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 639
Celeste hadn't rushed in yet, but Ava emerged from the bedroom barefoot."Put your shoes on!" Ethan followed, his face contorted in anger, five bright red fingerprints glaring on the left side of his face."Let's go!" Ava ignored Ethan, walking downstairs barefoot without even looking back, and left the house.Domestic violence did occur, but the one being hit was the burly Ethan, who could easily fit Ava inside him.Celeste and Megan breathed a sigh of relief."You go after Ava first," Celeste told Megan, grabbing a pair of shoes from the shoe cabinet at the entrance before following them out.…On the way back, the three of them sat in silence in the taxi.Celeste and Megan didn't want to pry into Ava's privacy in front of the taxi driver, and Ava was still angry with Ethan.It wasn't until they reached Celeste's home that Ava's emotions calmed slightly.Leo was already asleep, and after Megan stayed for a while and saw that Ava was okay, she said her goodbyes and headed ho

Taking out the shark plush toy, Celeste found a drawstring storage bag underneath. Upon opening it, she discovered a pair of soft indoor slippers, likely Ava's favorite pair.While Ava showered, Celeste sat on the second-floor sofa, lost in thought as she held the shark plush toy.She couldn't help but feel that Ethan had similarities with Damon, yet she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Perhaps it was how they both, after a quarrel, still managed to tend to Ava's emotions and remember whether she was wearing shoes or not? Damon had been like that, too. No matter how angry he was, he always cared for her well-being and emotions. Looking back now, it felt like sailing past countless mountains.When Ava emerged from the shower, wrapped in a white bath towel, she looked radiant and delicate.Seeing the shark plush toy, her eyes softened considerably, a marked improvement from before."I knew he hid it," she said softly, taking it and cuddling it in her arms."Did you grow up wi

Fall soon approached, and Leo had grown taller again. After work one evening, Celeste headed to the nearest mall, intending to buy a couple of comfortable fall outfits for Leo.Leo was naturally good-looking. So, shopping for him was a quick and easy process since he looks good in everything. Celeste finished her shopping in no time.Just as she was about to leave the children's clothing store after paying, she heard a shrill cry—"Bitch!"Celeste didn't think it was directed at her, as she assumed people were fighting nearby. She decided to take the escalator to the underground parking lot and leave this place of trouble.Unexpectedly, before Celeste reached the escalator, a disheveled woman with wild, unkempt hair lunged at her, grabbing her hair. "Bitch! Celeste! You bitch!" the woman screamed, completely disregarding her appearance.Celeste wasn't one to be easily intimidated. Seeing the woman's aggressive approach, she grabbed her hair in return and shouted, "What are you do

At first, Celeste didn't think much of it. She was blinded by the high beams from the car behind her and changed lanes at the intersection. To her dismay, the SUV followed her every move, sticking close behind.A sinking feeling settled in her gut. Trusting her instincts, she turned at the next intersection, and sure enough, the SUV mirrored her action. Realizing she was being followed, she sped up, trying to shake off the tailing vehicle. However, the SUV relentlessly pursued her, finally ramming into her car's rear end at a deserted intersection.Whoever was behind this was prepared. Celeste heard a loud "bang" and felt the car shudder as her rear tire blew out. Given her encounter with Dora, it wasn't hard to piece things together. The inevitable had arrived.Sitting in her car, Celeste quickly sent her location to Megan and Ava via WhatsApp."Help me!"That was all she needed to say. She opened the car door and stepped out, finding herself surrounded by four burly men."M

Celeste's heart sank, and she was overwhelmed by a deep sense of sorrow. Mark had orchestrated Dora's gang rape! No wonder, in just two months, Dora had become a shadow of her former self. Although Dora had been conniving, sabotaging Megan and Winston's relationship, she didn't deserve this fate. Wasn't Mark supposed to be one of Dora's admirers? How could he bring himself to do something so cruel to her?If she hadn't disrupted Dora's movie premiere, would things have turned out differently? Had she made a mistake?Seeing the sudden change in Celeste's expression, Mark sneered, "I thought you were fearless, but it turns out you're just like everyone else.""You claimed to like her, didn't you?" Celeste ignored Mark's taunt and asked directly."So what if I did? No woman, no matter how much I liked her, is worth ten billion," Mark scoffed. "Do you think Dora is worth that much?""She didn't deserve this," Celeste insisted."I decide what she deserves. And as for you, Celest

Mark had fed her an aphrodisiac! This realization made Celeste's heart plummet.She should have known. After all, he often resorted to such methods. Wasn't it the same drug he had used on Dora when her uncle rescued her?Images of Dora's humiliating photos flashed in Celeste's mind, amplifying her terror. Her pupils contracted in fear.Seeing Celeste's sudden fright, Mark's face lit up with a triumphant smile."So, Celeste, you're not completely fearless after all..." He pinched her chin with his greasy fingers, his eyes filled with fascination."You are truly a beauty beyond compare. Compared to you, Dora is downright vulgar."Mark's round face loomed closer, his expression suggesting he was ready to strip Celeste bare."Let go of me!" Celeste recoiled and shouted, "Using drugs to force yourself on women—what kind of man are you? If you have any guts, kill me!"She knew that self-preservation was paramount, but her pride wouldn't let her submit to such a vile man. She'd rather

The drug was taking effect, and at this moment, Celeste was barely conscious."Let go! Mark Elliot, you stupid pig!" She was still trying to provoke Mark, forcefully stumbling toward the table.A strong arm wrapped around her waist, and a cool hand pressed against her forehead."Don't be afraid, it's me!"In her daze, Celeste heard the voice and paused, her mind in a fog."Da…Damon?""Yes, it's me. Don't be afraid." His voice was gentle as he held her tightly in his arms.Realizing it was Damon, Celeste felt a wave of relief wash over her. She instinctively nestled closer to his chest, her head resting against his heart. "Take me away… take me to the hospital.""Does your head hurt?" Damon quickly checked the bump on her head from when she hit the table.Celeste used all her strength to shake her head. "Take me to the hospital. I've been drugged."In her current state, Damon was an irresistible temptation to her, and she didn't know how much longer she could hold out.Damon'

Celeste's mind was completely overtaken by the drug. Her thoughts were a muddled mess, and her actions were driven purely by instinct. Her cheeks burned, her entire body aflame with heat. Despite unbuttoning her shirt down to her stomach, she found no relief and grew increasingly desperate, tears welling up in her eyes."Damon, help me," she pleaded, clutching his right arm and pressing herself against him.Damon's arm, held tightly by Celeste, felt unnaturally rigid."Stop," Damon rasped, his voice hoarse. His jaw was clenched, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.Suddenly, he felt like a romcom hero being relentlessly seduced by the heroine.Celeste didn't need to say much; just pressing against him and saying, "Damon, help me," was enough to break his resolve.Perhaps if Damon's heart was clear of desire, it would allow to overcome his temptations. But his heart was filled with Celeste, the very ghost haunting his desires."Damon," Celeste called out, her voic

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
