Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 714
After being discharged from the hospital, Celeste stayed home for over a week without going out. She reminisced how she returned to the country at the beginning of the year when it was still spring. Now, it was already winter.Being pregnant made her feel less cold and desolate from the weather, but she was constantly fatigued.She wished she could spend 24 hours of her time sleeping. She found herself appearing less alert.Winston and Megan sent her a lot of supplements, but she consumed them very slowly. Due to her fatigue, she couldn't even manage to eat three meals a day, let alone take any supplements."You might have been traumatized by the hospital encounter or exhausted yourself during your pregnancy with Leo and have yet to recover from it. You need to compensate for it now," Megan occasionally came to check on her and concluded.Celeste thought about it and said, "It's probably the latter. I had severe depression when I was pregnant with Leo, often leaving me sleepless a

Before long, a series of photos were uploaded to Instagram from an overseas account.It was titled "Low-profile and discreet governmental official, Director X was with his wife on a trip."There were nine pictures, with Leila and the high-ranking official coming out of a place after each other. They were not intimate and maintained arm-length distance in the photos. Yet, they carried a sense of familiarity with each other, deliberately maintaining distance between themselves. Their eyes met in one of the photos, indicating they had things to discuss."This is not Director X's wife, but the wife of a Carlino real estate businessman," someone replied, posting Leila's Wikipedia page.Then, the Instagram account deleted the photos and was deactivated within half an hour. This was enough to catch the attention of the "higher-ups." Leila and the high-ranking official frequently appeared together at events, being mistaken for a couple by foreign netizens. Clearly, something was up.It wa

Celeste couldn't possibly call Georgina by her first name as requested. Given both their statuses and the age difference, addressing her as "Mrs. Radcliffe" was more appropriate.Georgina's pale face seemed even paler. She took a sip of tea to calm herself. However, the unease in her eyes only grew more intense."I've heard some rumors recently, Ms. York. It seems you've been following Diego." She skipped the debate over titles and got straight to the point.Celeste was slightly taken aback. This wasn't like Georgina, who was usually composed. With the pressing issue of her affair with a high-ranking official, why was she concerned about Diego?"Mr. Diego and Henry have business dealings. I'm sure you're aware of the friction between the York family and myself, Mrs. Radcliffe. Following Mr. Diego was a necessary move." Celeste admitted.Georgina was momentarily stunned by Celeste's straightforward confession.After a half-minute pause, she finally offered her prepared words."Ms

The beautiful woman named Georgina, who was usually so dignified and aloof, was now shedding tears in front of Celeste.With the first tear came the second, and soon, they were streaming down her face like broken beads.It was late at night. Celeste had already sent the night staff to bed, leaving only the two of them in the vast living room.Celeste stood up to fetch some tissues and handed them to Georgina. She silently watched her until she eventually stopped crying and wiped the droplets from her eyelashes. Only then did they resume their conversation."This coat I'm wearing, he made it for me himself back then," Georgina said.Celeste remembered the story Lawrence told about Diego skinning a live mink. She felt a shiver run down her spine. Looking at Georgina again, all she could sense was the stench of blood.Georgina, Diego, and the now-deceased Jonah, none of them deserved sympathy.They disregarded life, ignored moral principles, and were cold-blooded and selfish.Her

Celeste knew that Georgina had reached the end of her rope, but she hadn't expected it to come so quickly.Georgina wrote a suicide note the next evening and posted it online before drowning herself.The media blurred the images of Georgina's body, but the incident couldn't be suppressed.Celeste also saw the electronic suicide note.In it, Georgina neither confirmed nor denied her years-long affair with a political man.She wrote, "Given the circumstances, my death is the only way to provide an explanation and put this matter to rest so that the Radcliffe family and my child won't have to live in constant fear."She even hinted at two power factions, implying that the incident was a tactic by one group to topple another.With such a clear statement, Diego was actually safer.If Diego died as a result of this scandal, neither side would come out clean.Georgina protected Diego even in her final moment. It proved that her love was not an exaggeration.However, Kenny's target w

Celeste sat opposite Diego. She poured him a cup of tea and slowly handed it to him."Interestingly, Mrs. Radcliffe also had Earl Grey tea when she visited," she said and noted the brief sparkle in Diego's eyes.Celeste doubted Diego was entirely in the dark about what Georgina had said when she came to her.He probably just wanted to hear what Georgina had said from someone else. This might be a kind of comfort to him, perhaps."Did she beg you not to expose the two of us?" Diego had none of the manners or etiquette of a noble gentleman. His questions were blunt and direct as if he were interrogating a criminal.Still, Celeste saw no need to argue and simply nodded. "Yes, that's correct.""What exactly did she say?"Diego didn't care much about whether Celeste agreed or not.Celeste poured herself a glass of water and drank it slowly."Mrs. Radcliffe said you still have to live on, and this matter would be a fatal blow to your reputation. She hoped I would show mercy."Fol

Celeste felt a sudden chill as she faced her godfather.This was the real Kenny, just as she had known him from the beginning. He had made his first fortune through less-than-legitimate means and had climbed his way to the top over the corpses and blood of countless others.He was bold and ruthless, but now that he had passed the stage of fiercely competing for resources and solidifying his position, he had tempered his sharpness.Kenny’s calm and cultured demeanor was just on the surface. His kindness to Celeste was merely because he respected her and chose to be good to her.Now that she had climbed to this position, who around her was not one of those people?Damon was, Lawrence was, her uncle and grandmother were, and even her seemingly innocent friend Megan must be as well.They simply didn’t need to show their knives and claws to her because they respected her."Meredith's soul can finally rest in peace."Celeste’s mind was racing, but she calmly placed a piece of barbecu

The thought of Celeste reminded Damon of the night he'd fed her. Those eyes of hers were filled with a myriad of emotions. God knows how much self-control he had to muster to avoid trapping her by his side again.She was pregnant, and her arm was injured. Still, she managed to create such a big commotion. Her ways were getting more and more brutal.Despite her delicate face, which seemed unable to withstand the ordeal, she was able to make such an extreme decision. It was clear that she had grown in the years they hadn't seen each other.He had known that this woman had the features of a fox but the personality of a wolf.With these thoughts, Damon didn't comment on the situation.Instead, he quietly had someone investigate the account that exposed the incident. After several twists and turns, they traced it to a well-known businessman in Marksville, someone Kenny had mentored and could be considered a devoted follower.Considering Kenny's swift departure after Diego's downfall,

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
