"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
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 132 Who Would You Choose?
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
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 134 Substitute for Nobody
Upon entering the room, Celia impatiently let go of Yardley's hand. "What did Willow want with you at such a late hour?""Didn't you see it all?" Yardley asked with a chuckle."It's so late. Yet she suggested you both discuss a collaboration in your room. You and her alone …" Celia said, sounding a little displeased.Willow's intentions toward Yardley were clear to everyone.Although Yardley hadn't paid attention to Willow just now, Celia still felt uncomfortable seeing her try to seduce him."Are you jealous?" Yardley sat down on the couch gracefully. He looked at Celia with an amused smile.Celia tossed the suit jacket in her hand at Yardley in irritation. "As if! Here's your jacket."With that, she turned around without looking back and left.The next moment, a large hand caught her by the waist. As Celia was caught off guard, she fell backward into Yardley's embrace. Her head bumped against his firm chest. "Let go of me."Yardley smelled the faint fragrance on Celia'

"What's going on, Annie?" Willow asked, feigning concern.Annie felt a little embarrassed. She tugged at her dress but was unable to hide anything. So she could only smile awkwardly and say, "I fell by accident."Willow didn't call her bluff. Instead, she pretended to be kind and said, "Oh, I see. Why don't you come to my room? I have some ointment. Those bruises from your fall might leave scars if they're not treated properly.""That's really kind of you, Ms. Xanders," Annie replied. The torment Yoseph had put her through had left her body sore and exhausted. She needed some relief.Willow led Annie into her room and handed her the ointment."Thank you." Annie felt grateful."How are things between you and Bruce?" Willow asked, pretending to be clueless.At the mention of Bruce, Annie's eyes dimmed. Her voice was sad and resentful as she replied, "We broke up.""What? Why did you break up? Was it because of what happened at the banquet?" Willow casually brought up the scandal.
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 136 Charity Auction
Annie looked around before spotting Celia in the corner. However, the person she was with was a woman, who looked a little familiar. Annie stared at Nicole for a while before it hit her. That woman was Nicole Yandell, the manager of Leo's design studio!Nicole was the one who had come forward to testify for Celia. She'd dealt a decisive blow to Marilyn when Hughes Inc. was embroiled in that plagiarism controversy. Annie was curious about her relationship with Celia. Why would Celia be with Nicole when she was just a country bumpkin? Both of them were chatting and having a good time. It appeared that they were close. Annie was a little perplexed. She quietly took a seat not far from them and overheard Celia saying she would attend a charity auction tomorrow.Charity auction? Annie's eyes gleamed as she hurriedly sent Willow a message."Ms. Xanders, Celia will be attending the charity auction hosted by Leo's design studio tomorrow." Willow hastily replied, "Get prepare
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 137 The Woman I Love the Most
Was Willow seriously planning to go against Celia?Celia looked at Willow intently. She was just about to raise her hand again when a man's voice sounded from the entrance of the auction hall. "30 million dollars!" 30 million dollars! The audience in the auction hall whipped themselves into a frenzy when someone added a whole 10 million dollars. Hearing the familiar voice, Celia frowned and looked toward the entrance. Yardley's tall figure came into view.He was dressed in a well-fitted suit paired with a dark green tie, exuding nobility and elegance. He walked into the banquet hall with steady strides. Celia's breath hitched in her throat. Why was Yardley here?Reporters swarmed over in the blink of an eye. "Mr. Hughes, how'd you find the time to attend tonight's charity auction?" Yardley replied apathetically, "I'm just doing my part for charity." "Mr. Hughes, what—"The reporter wanted to ask more questions, but Yardley waved his hand to indicate that h

"It's true. Celia is nothing but a flirt. She seduces men left and right everywhere she goes. She doesn't deserve you."Willow continued to speak poorly of Celia. "She had a fling with Parker, a thing with Norman, and now she's even gone to a bar in the dead of the night to flirt with men while she's in Festras. Yardley, she's cheating on you behind your back. Why don't you get it?""Shut up." Yardley yanked his tie in frustration in response to Willow's incessant chatter. He raised his hand to check his wristwatch. He was perplexed as to why Celia hadn't returned yet, despite having been in the restroom for quite some time. He was afraid that she might have left in anger. He picked up his phone and called Celia, but her phone was turned off. Yardley stood up and walked toward the restroom, slightly concerned. "Yardley, where are you going?" Willow inquired. However, he completely ignored her. She stood up and hurriedly followed after him. Her eyes

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

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

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
