Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 647
Nicholas knew how much Damon treasured Celeste, so he specially selected the most expensive antidote and brought over the best medical personnel, waiting nervously at the hospital until the early hours of the morning. But Damon never showed up. Eventually, unable to hold out any longer, Nicholas called him.The phone rang until it disconnected without an answer. Nicholas, usually quick-witted, suddenly had a lapse in judgment. Could something have happened? The fact that Celeste had been drugged was already a serious matter. In a moment of panic, he called Celeste directly.This time, someone answered."Nicholas, can you stop being so annoying?" It was Damon's voice, strained and clearly frustrated.In that instant, Nicholas had a flash of insight and suddenly understood."Alright, you better carry on," he said hurriedly, hanging up. He then waved to the medical staff who had been dragged to the hospital for the emergency. "You can all go home and get some rest."Afterward, he

After teasing her, Damon let out a, "Hmmm," seemingly mocking Celeste."Well... the situation was unique. People under the influence of drugs aren't fully in control of their actions," Celeste stammered, trying to explain."Oh?" Damon raised an eyebrow, his expression clearly beckoning her to continue what she was saying.Realizing his amusement, Celeste felt a mix of shame and anger. Her face lost some of its redness, and she started speaking without thinking."We've slept together before. You're the one being overly dramatic. Do you think being with me is a loss? We're both adults. Who are you trying to fool with this act?"If you're so worried about being taken advantage of, maybe you should buy a chastity belt. That'll keep everyone away!" she retorted. Her words were harsh, despite it being her who had clung to Damon. Now she was turning the tables, calling him dramatic.Surprisingly, Damon remained unbothered. He just smiled and let her vent.Celeste, realizing she was b

"Alright, you're not just putting on a show. You're deeply in love." Damon smirked as he reached over to fasten Celeste's seatbelt.If his meticulous investigation over the past few days was correct, he could already confirm that Sebastian's orientation was not what he felt toward Celeste. Although Damon felt jealous at the thought of Sebastian being Celeste's nominal husband, he found this fact easier to accept now.Celeste was still confused and regretting what had just happened. When she saw Damon approaching, she inexplicably panicked."What's up?" she asked with a slightly guilty tone.Damon pulled her seatbelt over and fastened it, teasing, "I'm fastening your seatbelt. What else did you think? Did you think I was going to kiss you?"Celeste was speechless. She frowned disapprovingly at him. "Damon, is this matter going to be swept under the rug?"Only then did Damon kindly let her go. He suppressed his smile and looked straight ahead as he drove out of the car park.They

After Damon saw Celeste's face instantly turn pale, he sighed and immediately turned on the hazard lights, pulling over to the side of the road. The enclosed space of the car was a private haven amidst the pouring rain outside."Come here!" Damon looked at the frozen Celeste and opened his arms to her.Freed from the constraints of the seatbelt, Celeste bent slightly, curling her shoulders inward to hug herself tightly. She seemed oblivious to Damon's voice and was lost in her own little world.Damon felt his heart squeeze painfully when he saw her like this. This habit reportedly started after Celeste's mother passed away and she developed depression. A tough woman like her, who feared nothing, rarely showed such vulnerability. It made Damon want to cherish her even more.He sighed and leaned over. He then lifted and carried her over the center console and onto his lap.Celeste was slender and fragile, making it effortless for him to hold her like this. He had done this last nigh

By the time they arrived at Celeste's place, it was already noon."Goodbye," Celeste said softly as she opened the car door. Without waiting for Damon's response, she got out of the car.The road was wet and slippery after the rain, and the flood of water had not been cleared yet.Damon watched as Celeste took off her high heels, held them in her hand, and walked barefoot into the courtyard. Her feet were slender and fair, with just a hint of pinkness at the heels.Although Celeste had suffered over the years, she had a beautiful appearance that seemed untouched by worldly troubles. Naturally, no one associated her with the words "human suffering". In the eyes of society, a beautiful woman like her seemed to have an easier time and lived a good life.Of course, if Celeste wanted to live a better life, it would be easy. All she had to do was attach herself to someone, lower her head, and not care about her thoughts. There were plenty of men willing to line up to give her everythi

It was 1:00 pm when Damon arrived at the Southlake Detention Center, and the sun was shining brightly outside. However, there was a chill surrounding him as he entered.Even though Liam was accustomed to his indifferent air, seeing the fierceness in his expression still startled him."Mr. Bishop." Liam quickly stood up."Where is he?" Damon asked."He's inside. I've taken care of it," Liam replied.Damon nodded slightly and walked into the room where Mark was being held, with Liam following closely behind.Mark was handcuffed, with bruises on his lips and a swollen face. It was evident that he had been "taken care of".Although Mark was not from Taverdale, he still had power and influence. Liam's method of "taking care" completely disregarded the businessman's reputation."Oh, Mr. Fletcher, you're getting more ruthless," Damon spoke lightly, devoid of emotion."Don't flatter me, Mr. Bishop. He deserved it," Liam said, lifting his chin.He believed he understood Damon to some

With Damon's intervention, the matter involving Mark naturally subsided without causing much of a stir. Mark was not publicly tried, and Celeste, Megan, and Ava unanimously agreed to protect Dora's privacy. Despite her flaws, Dora did not deserve to be exposed for what happened to her. If the public knew about her assault, her life would be ruined. Therefore, the three women agreed to keep the matter suppressed. Even though they all looked down on Dora, they had no intention of mocking her in this matter. As women, they understood the vulnerability in cases of sexual violence and felt that Dora should not be ridiculed for it.Thus, the news was quietly suppressed by the three of them. It caused Winston to sigh. "Dora is lucky to have met you."Dora was lucky?If Dora hadn't acted recklessly, her fate would indeed have been quite fortunate. But now… Well, they could only sigh.Later on, Megan encountered Dora once more.At that time, Megan went to a bakery to buy breakfast, onl

The reason for all this was because Ethan's team attended the Fannes Film Festival in Francisco, where Celeste's jewelry company happened to be one of the sponsors. The business department had their eye on a rising starlet, Samantha Knights, who was still in the evaluation phase. This event marked Samantha's first appearance wearing Celeste's jewelry.Normally, Celeste wouldn't attend such events, but as the brand manager, she wanted to personally oversee their potential new brand ambassador. So, she flew to Francisco with the business department's manager for the festival.As luck would have it, Samantha was the lead actress in Ethan's new movie. Their trip to Francisco had them constantly together, practically inseparable.Celeste had always found Ethan attractive, but seeing him among a sea of tall, sharp-featured Francisian men made her realize just how striking he was. He matched the Francisians in height and presence, his features even more defined. With his rugged beard, ta

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
