Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 720
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,

Celeste had an instinctive disgust for Shannon, like stepping in a turd while wearing the latest designer shoes. Keeping up a polite appearance was unrealistic for her.Thus, she didn't suppress her instinct and frowned in disgust."How are there flies in winter? Disgusting."The female bodyguard sensed Celeste's mood was off and cautiously stepped forward to shield her."Oh, were you scared when you got stabbed last time? There are so many pairs of eyes at the exhibition site. What can I do to you? You're being too cautious." Shannon chuckled while sizing up Celeste and her bodyguards with a mocking smile."It's wise to be careful, especially with someone like you who's always up to no good." Celeste crossed her arms and sneered. "You've gained weight, Shannon. Looks like you've been living well."What she said was clearly taunting.Anyone could see that Shannon hadn't been living well these past few years. She was a bit younger than Celeste but now looked much older. Though on

That night, Celeste was taken to the hospital by ambulance.At that time, the brawl between Lavinia Luxe and Opulent Prowl employees was a hot topic. Celeste was carried into an ambulance by a group of medical personnel, and immediately drew media attention, and soon the hospital was swarmed with reporters."Is Ms. York's hospital visit related to the incident earlier today? When will she be available for an interview?" the media asked as soon as Celeste's assistant stepped out."Ms. York is emotionally unstable and has affected her pregnancy. Please leave."The assistant spoke according to Celeste's script. Then, with a cold expression, she went back to report.Following that, the news quickly spread that the Lavinia Luxe director had so angered the Opulent Prowl CEO that she had affected her pregnancy. It had become a major talking point."Do you need help with this?" Jasper, who worked in media, quickly sent various screenshots of news articles to Damon.He added, "By the way

The internet would store data. After all, when Henry was imprisoned and the York family’s assets were seized, it caused quite a stir.As soon as the Twitter post went up, people quickly dug up the old news articles and recent reports about Henry's release to summarize the timeline."Lavinia Luxe is unreliable if they hire people like this. I'll never buy from them again." Someone posted with a goodbye emoji.Meanwhile, the Opulent Prowl account left a response to that comment. "It's not like that. Shannon changed her name and nationality, so, understandably, a background check wouldn't catch it."Amidst the tens of thousands of comments, Opulent Prowl replied to only that one, and it was in defense of Lavinia Luxe.Someone immediately gave them a thumbs-up. "What a class! This is why I love this brand!"There were some, however, who disagreed. “I can understand not recognizing that Candice and Shannon are the same person, but a new identity comes with a lot of lies, fake degrees,

She had been careful enough to try to make no mistakes at all points, yet the problems she had encountered this time were nothing short of an unmitigated disaster.Opulent Prowl didn't just have a domestic market. It also had a stable overseas market and customer base. The issue arose in the overseas market.Celeste learned about this problem from Spencer, with whom she hadn't been in contact for a long time.It was past 2 a.m. when a WhatsApp voice call came through, and Celeste was in a deep sleep.She woke up from her dream. Her head ached, and her mind was in turmoil.Why was he calling at this hour? Didn't he know there was a six-hour time difference between Carlino and Franciso?In the faint light of her phone screen, Celeste groggily pressed the answer button before she could even say hello."Who selected the models for today's fashion show in Franciso? Who was in charge?" Spencer questioned straight away. His tone sounded unusually serious.Celeste's sleepiness was gone

Celeste, being a designer herself, understood the gravity of issues related to racial discrimination, national sentiments, sexual orientation, or territorial disputes. She would never take these matters lightly.Although she didn't personally handle every detail of model selection, she always reviewed the final choices.Especially in Astrania, where people's stances could be ambiguous, she had even stricter requirements for overseas models.What happened that day was undoubtedly the result of someone bribing the models with a substantial amount of money to cause trouble deliberately.The slanting-eye gesture was highly offensive to Solacians, and the association with the Brightstar Council, a notorious extremist organisation in Franciso, only added fuel to the fire, which was clearly intending to bring Opulent Prowl down.By the end of the night, Celeste's throat had developed two large blisters, rendering her unable to speak."Don't worry, I'm here. Megan and I are flying to Fra

"Yes, mommy. I'm safe here with dad and grandma," Leo reassured Celeste."Take care of yourself and my little sister. Everything will be alright."Just like Celeste, he had assumed that the baby she was carrying was a girl.In moments like this, Celeste truly appreciated the advantages of having a brilliant child. He was intelligent and perceptive, able to sense danger, and less likely to be manipulated.Of course, the downside was also apparent. He tended to overthink and internalise his worries."Leo, I have faced many challenges before, and I've always managed to overcome them. You need to trust that I can turn bad situations into good ones," she said gently to Leo.He responded with a soft "mm.""This isn't a big issue. I will handle it smoothly.""Mm.""So don't worry too much. If you worry, I will feel uneasy too."Being open and honest was the best way to deal with a genius child. This was something Celeste had learned over time.If she hid things from Leo, it would o

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
