Apart from those who came from Marksville, almost everyone from the upper class of Taverdale attended.Taverdale's upper-class circle had changed in recent years, and Celeste unexpectedly became one of its members. Phillip had helped her before, so she had to show up to celebrate him. However, she considered her relationship with Damon and thought it would be awkward to meet him. Therefore, she made an excuse about traveling overseas and sent a birthday gift in advance, saying she would visit him when she returned to the country.However, after politely refusing, Phillip called her and said, "Cece, how much business do you have overseas? I will reimburse you for it."At this point, Celeste felt she couldn't refuse further.Damon and Nicholas had been good friends for many years and wer

Celeste was overseas for several years. Her mind was a blur, but she never forgot Kenny's kindness. She would prepare gifts in advance and send them over without fail during every festive and Kenny's birthday. After returning to the country, the first thing she did was visit Kenny in Marksville without delay.The two of them had always been close. Coincidentally, Celeste had regarded Kenny as her godfather. After several years of interaction, they became like father and daughter."You should have told me earlier so I could bring Leo to see you and arrange a place for you to stay. If it weren't for me attending Grandpa's birthday banquet, I wouldn't have known you were here." Celeste pouted like a child.Kenny teased, "You're the mother of two now. Stop acting like a child."Yet, he couldn't hide the contentment in his eyes and noticed Celeste's change immediately."Why aren't you asking me about this baby?" Celeste asked. Kenny was someone close to her; he knew her and Sebastian.

Diego's face was pale. He looked unhealthy as if he was a skeleton in a suit. Celeste remembered Lawrence mentioning that he consumed drugs—he wasn't into substances that were prohibited now, but tobacco from the Opium War. He and every living creature that walked on two feet in his mansion consumed opium—Celeste's scalp tingled at the thought of it.The performance had yet to begin when she entered the theater. Diego looked up at her from his seat, his expression melancholic. His eyes were dark as ink and rested on his pale face like two empty holes, quickly drawing people in."Mr. Diego." Celeste's scalp tingled, but she still managed to greet him politely.Diego nodded slightly but did not speak.So, Celeste nodded back at Diego and sat behind him.Celeste went to the sixth floor to enjoy some peace and quiet. She wasn't particularly interested in any song. Before long, she found herself drifting off.On the other hand, Diego listened attentively throughout the show, even thro

"I have all the time in the world, so let's see. After all, you know I do not care much about dignity." Diego's eyes were cold, sending shivers down Celeste's spine.Celeste would be lying if she claimed she wasn't afraid. However, she was used to keeping her emotions to herself, making it impossible for others to notice something was off."What happened to your father has nothing to do with me. However, since you've intervened, there's no point in saying anything else." Composed, she looked at Diego, her eyes devoid of fear.Diego was slightly taken aback. He had known Celeste was a force to be reckoned with. His encounter with her today was living proof of it."From the looks of things, you're pregnant, Ms. York. I'm sure many would be curious to experience the wonders of pregnant women." Diego was despicably perverse even compared to his father, Jonah."Mr. Radcliffe, karma's a bitch. You may be okay now, but karma will hit you so quickly in the long run that you will suffer gr

There was plenty of violence in the dark world, and it's common for someone to kill for their benefit. However, what Diego did violate Meredith and was borderline torture and murder. He disregarded human moral standards. He was not merely cold-blooded; he was a sick bastard!Celeste's heart clenched as she listened, shedding tears of bitterness for this woman she had never met."It's my fault for not protecting Meredith," Kenny said, his face filled with self-blame.He had not been involved in money laundering for many years, but some people under his command, including Meredith, still made a living under his name. Bernie, who helped to put Henry into prison, was among them."Kenny, you shouldn't blame yourself too much. What happened had nothing to do with you."Celeste may be stating a fact, but unfortunately, Meredith had disappeared from the face of the earth. The brutality of her death was simply appalling."Although everything is gone after one dies, I feel obligated to do

"It doesn't matter," Lawrence said. "I had my suspicions about this before, but who Diego is doesn't matter much to me."Even if they were medically proven to be half-brothers, Lawrence couldn't bring himself to feel close to Diego. He wouldn't have reclaimed Diego's portion of the inheritance if he was close to him.Celeste also considered this point but didn't dwell on the topic."If one day I have a conflict with Diego, or if I do something detrimental to him, I hope you won't hate me for it."Celeste was warning Lawrence, but whether it would take effect was beyond her control....After that, Celeste also saw Henry once.She was attending a business event. She was in her car in the parking lot when she saw Henry and a few others leaving the luxury hotel. They seemed to have finished a business negotiation.Henry's years in prison had taken a toll on him. His hair had turned gray. Although he wore a neat suit, his back was slightly hunched, and his face was wrinkled. He loo

Celeste felt both repulsed and amused by Henry's question."What does it have to do with you? Oh, are you afraid to hurt me now if this baby belongs to the Millers? Or are you trying to be a grandfather now, planning to bring a gift to meet the baby?"She was aggressive; each word struck a chord in Henry's heart.Henry's face turned extremely ugly."I can't believe I have a heartless and ruthless daughter like you!" Henry was consumed by his anger and started speaking without thinking.Celeste couldn't help but chuckle."Henry, are you trying to be funny here? Are you not ashamed to say such things? Speaking of being heartless and ruthless, you are the cause of your ex-wife's death and didn't care about your children's lives. You have no right to accuse me of being heartless and ruthless. You should be ashamed of yourself for saying such things. If you have something to say, make it quick. Otherwise, please leave." She coldly gestured towards the door and pressed the elevator b

Celeste wasn't worried about the Bishops refusing to take in Leo. Serena showered Leo with adoration; he was the apple of her eyes.What concerned Celeste was how the Bishops would perceive this situation. Would they think she was neglecting Leo because of Sebastian's baby? If so, getting Leo back in the future would be a handful. A family like the Bishops wouldn't allow their grandson to be mistreated.So that evening, during dinner with her son, Celeste broached the topic with Leo to gauge his reaction."Leo, I've encountered some troubles recently. Would you be upset If I temporarily sent you to Grandma's house?" She ladled soup into Leo's bowl as she spoke gently.Leo lifted his head from the bowl, his eyes glistening. "No. You won't have time to handle the trouble if you take care of me, right?"Celeste thought for a moment. "No, that's not it. I'm just worried about your safety. Leo, you are my Achilles heel. I will surely be at someone else's mercy if you fall into their ha
