Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 126 I Am Pursuing You
Yardley's intense and unfathomable gaze remained fixed on Celia's face. His husky voice lingered in her ear.Celia's breath caught for a moment. Then, she raised her eyes to meet his profound gaze. With a smirk, she said, "I don't know what you're talking about."Yardley smiled in return. "I heard every word you said just now.""What did I say? What did you hear?" Celia felt a bit embarrassed and annoyed. She gave Yardley an angry glare.This sly man had pretended to be unconscious and fooled her! If she'd known, she wouldn't have been so worried about him.Yardley reached out for Celia's hand and placed it in his palm. He covered his other hand on top, enveloping Celia's hand completely."You said you'd do anything for me once I woke up. Well, I'm awake now. So, are you willing to marry me?" Yardley asked in a deep tone.The warmth of Yardley's touch spread through Celia's hand. It reached her heart, making it flutter."Is this your way of proposing to me?" Celia pursed her li
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 127 What Is the Truth?
"Has Yannis found anything?" Celia asked, observing Yardley's confident look.Yardley leaned back and said, "They're still investigating. We'll have results soon.""We must find evidence before Jones holds the press conference. Otherwise, the situation will be unfavorable for us," Celia reminded.Yardley smiled and cast a sidelong glance at Celia. "Don't worry, I've got it under control. Jones won't be causing trouble for long."Yardley's calm smile brought her a sense of relief. Anthony's investigation would yield results soon too. When the time came, they would expose Jones.Meanwhile, the public made wild guesses about the explosion. Everyone was looking forward to the press conference. They wanted to know the truth behind the radioactive substances and the explosion.The press conference took place in the conference hall of a luxurious hotel in Festras. Celia arrived early and took an inconspicuous seat in a corner.She sent a text message to Anthony. "Did you find what

"Of course," Jones replied. He stared at Celia as if he were provoking her. Then, his expression turned grave as he made a solemn declaration."I should have concluded today's press conference after delivering the official statement to the public. But I don't want to go against my conscience. So, I've chosen to reveal the truth.""Conscience? I think you don't have one." Celia retorted. Her lips curled into a sarcastic smile.Seeing Celia's response, the reporters surrounded her and bombarded her with questions."Ms. Stanton, is what Mr. Levine said true?""Did Hughes Incorporated use subpar materials to make more profit?""Are those two warehouse supervisors innocent scapegoats?""The situation escalated beyond expectations. Did Hughes Incorporated orchestrate this explosion to cover things up?"Celia smiled and remained composed. Then, she stated, "Of course not. Every word Mr. Levine said is false. He made it all up to tarnish our company's reputation."A reporter aimed

Jones clenched his fists tightly.He took a deep breath. With a sullen face, he said, "Why would I bother with such a pointless analysis?""Oh, are you afraid?" Celia smirked. She was confident that Jones wouldn't dare undergo the analysis.Jones chuckled drily and replied, "This recording proves nothing at all!""Proves nothing? If the voice in the recording isn't yours, why are you hesitant to do a voiceprint analysis? Can I take it that you're feeling guilty?" Celia mocked.Faced with Celia's string of questions, Jones started to give evasive answers. "Ms. Stanton, you're making defamatory remarks. As the head of the Festras branch, why would I do all this? What benefit do I gain from tampering with the raw materials? Placing a bomb and detonating it is even more absurd!""Indeed. As the head of Hugh Incorporated's Festras branch, why would you do such things?" Celia muttered to herself pensively.She frowned and narrowed her eyes while saying, "You did all this because—"
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 130 The Art of Flirting
Faced with Yardley's stern question, Jones' expression soured. His face paled, and his brain seemed to have stopped working.How did Yardley get this video?Jones could have found excuses to deny the previous audio recording. But he had absolutely no way of discrediting this video. It clearly showed him and Marilyn in it.Putting two and two together, everyone had a rough idea of what was going on."Who would've thought that Jones Levine was the mole?""For his own selfish desires, he disregarded consumers' interests. He even plotted an explosion, for crying out loud! He's not human!""Marilyn isn't any better. Not only did she plagiarize, but she also manipulated Jones to frame Hughes Incorporated!"The crowd hurled a torrent of insults and accusations at Jones. He wiped the cold sweat off his brow and tried to defend himself. "It's fake! It's all fake! You're all accusing me wrongfully!"A sharp glint flashed in Celia's eyes."Fake? Are you saying that both my recording an
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 131 Are We Meant to Be?
"The Art of Flirting"? What on earth?Yardley cast a cold glance at Yannis. He grimaced and said in disdain, "How distasteful!"Even though he seemed to disapprove, he still accepted the book.Trailing behind Yardley, Yannis respectfully said, "Mr. Hughes, I'll be returning to Ashvale tomorrow."Yardley nodded. He responded with an indifferent expression, "Contact me if there's anything."He had great confidence in Yannis' abilities. With Yannis overseeing the company for the past few days, Yardley had only needed to give remote instructions.After Yannis left, Yardley sat on the couch. Leaning against the cushion with his legs crossed, he held the book in his hand. Then, he began reading it in earnest.…Celia had a good night's sleep and woke up late the next morning. After freshening up, she planned to go find Nicole. They were going to go shopping together. Nicole had been in Padea for several days. She was busy with matters related to Flames of Ice, so they hadn't mana

When Celia had been 12 years old, she had fallen seriously ill. She had nearly died, but fortunately, she had recovered. After her recovery, she hadn't been able to recall a lot of the things that had happened before.Barnaby had told her that her parents had both passed away when she had been very young. For many years, Celia's memories of her parents were nearly nonexistent.Whenever she tried to remember her childhood, she would get unbearable headaches. As a result, she often avoided thinking about it.But somehow, she saw a scene of a family of three going to the amusement park—it felt so real.She was drawn toward it.Standing at the entrance, she fixed her gaze on the amusement park as she struggled to recall something. Hazy fragments of a memory surfaced in her mind, and her head began to ache.Celia couldn't help but feel a bit disheartened. Why couldn't she remember anything? She couldn't even recall what her parents looked like.As night fell, neon lights turned o

Yardley fell silent. He lowered his gaze and fidgeted with the umbrella in his hand with a neutral expression.His silence was the best answer.Celia's heart sank. A sense of bitterness spread through her.Silence and awkwardness filled the confined space as the Ferris wheel began to descend slowly. When it was about to stop, Yardley suddenly raised his head.With a deep gaze, he said to Celia with utmost seriousness, "Candy is someone from the past. Right now, in this moment, the woman I want to spend my life with is you."His words reached Celia's ears like a divine melody. Her heart pounded wildly in response.She bit her lip and asked, "Really?"Yardley nodded with an expectant look in his eyes. "Yeah. So ... Do you think you can give me an answer ahead of time?""No, I can't," Celia answered with amusement. She looked at Yardley with a playful smile. "I said two months. So, ask me again in two months' time."Celia hadn't expected Yardley to give an answer. Even though h

In fact, Yardley didn't tell anyone. … Meanwhile, Morgan stumbled upon a surprising find. She discovered two healthy, month-old babies at the orphanage. "Director, is it true that no one wants such young babies?" Morgan felt a bit emotional. How could people be so heartless as to abandon their own babies? The director of the orphanage let out a deep sigh. "You don't know the whole story. Our janitor found these babies at the orphanage's entrance. Someone left them there and disappeared. "We've been taking care of them for about half a month now, and their condition has improved significantly." Looking at the adorable babies, Morgan couldn't shake the feeling that they belonged to Celia. "I'm here on behalf of Yardley Hughes else to adopt these children, but..." Morgan expressed her concerns. Morgan anticipated the orphanage director's refusal. To her surprise, he actually agreed. "The opportunity for these two babies to have some good days is preferable to nothing.

"Let's go, Celia. We shouldn't disturb the twins' rest," said Yardley as he supported Celia and got ready to leave. Celia waved her hand and stood in front of the incubator. Even with the glass barrier, she could still discern the condition of her children. She reached out to touch them, as if her touch could make them feel her presence. She resolved to take her children home safely. Celia lingered for a while before finally leaving the hospital. Once they were home, Celia locked herself in her room, disregarding any attempts anyone made to talk to her. Yardley headed to the company to attend to some matters, while the housekeepers remained at home. Meanwhile, Morgan couldn't shake her concern for Celia, so she came to visit her. Upon entering, she heard the housekeepers upstairs calling out, "Mrs. Hughes, are you feeling better? Come out and have some soup!" However, there was no response from inside. "What's going on?" Morgan asked. The housekeepers promptly briefed
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 905 Fragile Babies
Sophie had failed to get Celia's forgiveness. So, she had no choice but to pin all her hopes on Morgan.She took all the supplements to Morgan's apartment. Richard was staying there with her.Ever since the incident with Celia, Sophie's relationship with Richard had become very strained. They barely talked to one another.Sophie knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came out.She could only wait outside. After two hours, she finally saw Morgan and Richard. They came into view, laughing and holding each other's hands.This scene pained Sophie deeply."What are you doing here?" Morgan's cheerful expression faltered the moment she saw Sophie.Sophie could only put on a smile and say, "I brought all these for you. I was wrong to come between your relationship with my son."Richard glanced at the items on the ground. He could tell from a glance that they were meant for postpartum care and immediately understood why Sophie was there."Mom, you should be honest. You got the

Otto didn't back down and insisted on his right to see his grandchildren. However, Yardley paid him no mind. He shook his head and said, "Celia needs rest. Please come back another day."The next second, he instructed the housekeepers to close the door and left Otto standing outside. Otto stomped his walking cane on the ground in frustration but had no choice but to leave.As Yardley made his way back inside the villa, he thought of another troubling matter.Although they had brought their children home, the twins had been weak because they had been born prematurely. They had appointed a family doctor to treat the twins but hadn't seen much improvement in their health. Yardley sanitized himself before he went into the nursery. He felt pained when he heard the twins' weak breaths."Mr. Hughes." The family doctor spoke up with a frown, indicating that the situation was far from ideal."The baby girl has been slowly recovering, but the boy remains very weak. I don't think the n

"Don't worry. She's fine. She's just a bit weak at the moment."Remembering Yardley's words outside the ward, the doctor felt a wave of nervousness. He could tell that Yardley and Celia weren't ordinary people judging by their attire. They were certainly not ones to be trifled with."Did you say that we had twins?" Yardley turned to ask the nurse after learning that Celia was alright."Yes, sir." The nurse chuckled inwardly. She found that, despite Yardley's intimidating appearance, he was a very devoted husband.Soon, Celia was moved out of the operating room and into a VIP ward.Yardley gently wiped the sweat from Celia's face again. He took in her pale complexion; it was a sign of how much she had suffered."How's Celia?"Sounds of hurried footsteps came from outside. Ashley and the others had come over. Yardley turned and signaled them to leave.Celia had just given birth, so she needed a quiet environment to rest. Having too many visitors might affect her recovery.Ever

"How could you hit me because of her? I'm the mother of your child!" Sophie shrieked.She had never suffered such humiliation. She had been showered with love from a young age and wasn't accustomed to such harsh treatment. So, she became agitated and emotional."Isn't it all because of you that things turned out this way? Would such a thing have happened to our company? Would Richard suddenly want to break all ties with us? It's all because of your reckless behavior!" Chester vented years of suppressed grievances and dissatisfaction as if it would make him feel better.Celia watched as Chester and Sophie argued fiercely. She stepped forward to stop them, especially since there were many people outside watching the spectacle."Stop fighting. This isn't the time or the place for arguments!"Sophie went at Chester and started hitting him. Celia tried to break up their fight, but Sophie pushed her. Celia took a few steps back at that. She didn't attempt to intervene anymore."It's

"Mrs. Black, we'd intended to negotiate amicably with you and achieve a satisfactory outcome for both parties. "The decision to move out was mine, and I asked Celia to come over and help me out. If you're unwilling to be decent and compromise, then let's end things between our families here."Morgan felt relieved after expressing her thoughts. It was like a significant weight had been lifted off her shoulders. "What do you mean?" Richard panicked. Just when their relationship had slightly improved, the situation took a turn for the worse again."We're breaking up for good!"Morgan left after saying that. Jessica and Darby left with her, leaving the Blacks behind."This is all your doing! Look what you've done! How many times have I told you not to be so assertive and bossy? Why don't you ever consider my feelings?" Richard punched the couch angrily, his heart filled with bitterness.Sophie hadn't wanted things to turn out this way either, but she had been too angry and spoke

"It's fine. You two can go if you have something else to attend to," Jessica said.Soon, Celia arrived at the Blacks' residence with Jessica and Darby.Sophie opened the door and was surprised to see Celia standing at the doorstep with Jessica and Darby. She couldn't understand what Celia was up to.Once they were inside, Celia didn't beat around the bush and stated her purpose directly. "I think you might be having some misunderstandings about Morgan."Sophie smiled without saying anything."Don't you think you're interfering too much in Morgan's personal life?" Celia questioned.Upon hearing this, Sophie realized why they were there. Having discussed the issue with Chester, Sophie had finally agreed not to interfere in Richard's and Morgan's lives.So, she didn't object to Celia's words. She even agreed with Celia, much to the latter's surprise.Under normal circumstances, Sophie would have argued with her. Why was she being so agreeable this time?"How about you sign a writ

After saying that, Celia hung up.On the other end, Quinn felt very displeased. After all, it was her party, and she had personally called Celia to invite her. Quinn felt that Celia had snubbed her by refusing to attend.Quinn thought about it for a moment. If Celia didn't come, Yardley probably wouldn't either. If both of them didn't show up, it would be embarrassing for Quinn.So, she decided to go and find Celia.…Morgan was taking refuge at Celia's place, so she answered the door when Quinn came over."I'm here to see Celia."Celia had instructed Morgan to turn away anyone she didn't recognize, no matter who it was.
