Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 654
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

"Can't you see how I feel about you?" Samantha's voice was choked with tears, her entire demeanor pitiful and fragile."Stop it," Ethan's voice was calm and he betrayed no emotion."I'm not stopping! I want you!" Samantha, under the influence of alcohol, was acting recklessly. She threw herself into Ethan's arms, wrapping her arms around his waist."Samantha!" Ethan took a step back, pushing her away. His tone turned stern. "You're young. Don't gamble your career on this.""Gamble my career? Didn't I already do that when we went to Moon Island? Ethan, you weren't acting like this in front of the media!" Her voice rose, and she suddenly seemed to understand something."Is this all just a show? For Ava?" Her tone was incredulous.She continued, "You don't even love Ava, so why put on an act for her? What do you gain from this?" Samantha's emotions boiled over, and she became aggressive, a far cry from her composed demeanor at the dinner.Ethan, who had been patient until now, wa

At first, Celeste was so busy with work that she didn't notice her period was late.She only remembered it later when she overheard her assistant and others in the office complaining about the cold weather, causing their periods to come early.That was when she realized her period had been absent for quite some time.Could it be...? The thought made Celeste break out in a cold sweat.She had been single for over four years and no longer kept track of her safe days or ovulation period. If she thought about it, what happened that night indeed fell during her ovulation period.Having just recovered from the fear of being kidnapped by Mark and then spending a night with Damon, followed by being caught in a thunderstorm the next day, she was so distracted that she forgot to take an emergency contraceptive pill.After her first pregnancy ended in miscarriage, the doctor said her chances of getting pregnant again were low.Having Leo was already a small miracle. If she were to get preg

In their relationship, Megan rarely took the lead in making decisions. She was more used to supporting. For her to make a decision for Celeste was quite unusual."Didn't you hear the doctor? If you don't keep this one, it will be hard for you to have another child in the future. Your body is already so weak a miscarriage would cause enormous damage. If... I'm saying if, in the future, Leo really needs a sibling to provide umbilical cord blood or bone marrow, and you can't conceive again, you won't have any options left."Megan voiced what Celeste was already thinking. These were all reasons to keep the child. Megan hadn't considered any reasons not to."I have money now. A nanny and a housekeeper can help. How hard can it be to raise a child?" Celeste smiled wryly."What I'm worried about is that this child might not want to come into the world and might not want to be born without a father. Leo has already acknowledged Damon. If I have another child with Damon, how would that be a

Nick and Becky had received many favors from Brian and Serena while Brian was alive. Later, when Damon inherited the family business and expanded the Bishop Group, he didn't forget to share some of the benefits with Nick. The two families got along very well, which was rare among wealthy families.Although Damon had forcibly sent Carly abroad a few years ago, Nick and Becky knew their daughter was at fault. Thus, it didn't cause any estrangement between the families.Directly advising Damon wouldn't be appropriate. Becky needed to approach Serena first.In a family like the Bishops, visits were usually announced in advance. Becky's sudden arrival was unusual."Come, quickly prepare tea for Mrs. Becky," Serena, seeing her sister-in-law, thought something major had happened. She hurriedly invited her into the living room and warmly welcomed her.In fact, something major had indeed happened."Serena, I have something to discuss with you." Becky sat down and went straight to the poin

Becky was right. Celeste had revealed the information on purpose because she wanted Becky to tell Damon about it.After learning she was pregnant, Celeste tossed and turned all night. She couldn't decide whether to keep the baby.Emotionally, she was reluctant to let go. After all, this was her flesh and blood, as well as her and Damon's child.But logically, it was a fifty-fifty split. Keeping the baby would certainly help with Leo's illness, but it would also bring a lot of trouble.Eventually, Celeste fell into a deep sense of guilt. How could she have forgotten to buy the morning-after pill?She was already a heavy thinker, and now, with this on her mind, she barely slept. When she finally did, it was almost dawn.She even had a fetal dream during what little sleep she had between six and seven in the morning.In the dream, a chubby little girl with curly hair and big eyes stretched out her arms toward her."Mommy, I'm back.""Where did you come back from?" The logic of dr

"I've been married to Sebastian for four years, and we're both adults with normal needs. Will you even believe what you're saying?"This was her prepared argument. If they were to end, they would end completely.Damon, being a proud and fastidious person, could never accept a woman who was impure.Sure enough, Damon's eyes instantly turned blood-red."Celeste, what do you mean?""Exactly what it sounds like. Sebastian and I are husband and wife. It's only natural for us to be doing what couples do, including fulfilling marital duties, sleeping together, and trying to have another child." Celeste's heart trembled slightly as she watched Damon's eyes turn red. Still, she continued saying her prepared lines."Leo said you two are only together on the outside." His throat felt bitter and dry. Every word he said was forced out with difficulty."No matter how genius Leo is, he’s still a child. It’s normal he doesn’t see the whole picture. Of course, we’d keep this from him."Celeste

"What did you say?" Even as he watched the girl in front of him move her lips, Damon felt as if he hadn't heard what she said."I said, men over thirty are worthless. Even though you have some money and status, you’re divorced with a child.""Of course, I can overlook your age and your divorced status, but I have one condition. If we have children, we can only have one, and the child must take my last name.""Once I get married to the Bishop family, can you arrange for some of my relatives to work at the Bishop Group? Is a monthly salary of 50,000 dollars too much? Also, I have a few cousins who are about to get married and don’t have houses yet."The girl in front of him didn’t look more than 22 years old. She had thin eyebrows, long eyes, a pointed chin, and a face that was both cold and seductive. She looked smart, but what she said was very off-putting.Damon had always been confident and never thought that he would be seen as an old divorced man with a child.And what did sh

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
