Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 148 Trouble at Hughes Incorporated
"Gramps …" Celia appeared a little shy in front of Barnaby and playfully said, "Don't say things like that.""Why are you shy when you're both adults here?" Barnaby teased. "Stop it, Gramps!" She turned around and covered her face with both hands. Yardley arched his brow when he looked at her shy demeanor. He said solemnly, "I'll take care of Celia and protect her, Gramps." "Mhm. I definitely didn't misjudge you." Barnaby was pleased with Yardley. This was Yardley's first time meeting Barnaby. The old man was lively and spirited. He had a strong presence and didn't look like a man from the countryside at all.All of a sudden, Yardley remembered that Otto had an old friend with the last name Stanton as well. Both of them used to be prominent figures in the business world, but his friend had suddenly disappeared from the scene.Could this be him?Celia interrupted his thoughts by saying, "How did you know we were here, Gramps? Did you receive my distress signal?"

"Mr. Hughes Senior is fine," Yannis said as he hurriedly approached Yardley.Yardley breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. He pursed his lips before asking, "Yannis, what exactly happened?""Everything was normal when I returned from Festras," Yannis said, thinking carefully. "We got news of your plane crash shortly afterward, Mr. Hughes. It caused quite a stir in the city when we found out. Everyone was extremely worried, especially Mr. Hughes Senior. "He organized numerous search teams to look for you all. However, Mr. Hughes Senior didn't show up the next day. Jordan said he had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital for treatment." "Heart attack?" Yardley frowned. He was aware that his grandfather had a heart condition. But he had been taking medication and managing it well over the years.Yannis nodded and continued, "Jordan said it was because of your disappearance. Mr. Hughes Senior was distressed and fell ill due to continuous stress and exhaustion.
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 150 I Will Never Let You Down
"But we don't have evidence." Celia frowned and pursed her lips. "So many years have passed. Even if there were any clues back then, they're likely to have been destroyed."Yardley's knuckles gradually tightened, and his tone was cold. "No matter how much time has passed, if he did it, there will undoubtedly be traces left behind!""That's true, but our priority right now is to expose Jordan's scheme to confine Grandpa Hughes and his ambitious attempt to seize power." Her eyes gleamed. She would never allow that despicable man to succeed! Yardley turned his head, looked at her lovingly, and pulled her into his arms. "Thank you, Celia! You've been there for me without fail throughout this crisis."Celia reached out and tapped his forehead while snuggled in his embrace. "I'm your fiancée, silly. Of course, I'm here to share both your joys and your sorrows."He held the woman in his arms tightly and promised her, "Cece, I'll never let you down in this lifetime."Warmth sp

Jordan rose to his feet amid thunderous applause and smiled. "Thank you. Thank you all for your support!"He waved his hand, signaling for everyone to quiet down. He cleared his throat and said, "I feel deeply saddened and pained by Yardley's misfortune. However, now is not the time for sorrow. I have more important matters to attend to. "Hughes Incorporated is my father's life's work. With my father critically ill and Yardley's fate unknown, the century-old foundation of Hughes Inc. must remain steadfast. I will accept this responsibility and shoulder this heavy burden since everyone trusts me.""Mr. Lane, did Mr. Hughes Senior authorize your appointment as the next CEO of Hughes Incorporated?" a sharp-minded reporter inquired. After all, Otto had singlehandedly founded the company. As Chairman of Hughes Inc., Otto had the authority to decide who became CEO. Jordan's legitimacy would be questionable without Otto's authorization. Jordan smiled and said matter-of-factly, "Of
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 152 No Plans to Cancel the Engagement
"There's no reason to cancel the press conference since it has already been convened." Jordan's brows were scrunched up.He was just a step away from success. He couldn't figure out why Yardley had to come back at this very moment. He couldn't let all of his efforts go to waste."Yardley, I've taken over the company during your absence. This is also in line with your grandfather's wishes," Jordan said."Is that so? Is that truly my grandfather's wish?" Yardley's expression darkened, and he snorted."Jordan Lane, do you think I'm unaware that you secretly drugged Grandpa to induce his heart attack and confined him for the sake of seizing power?"Yardley dropped a bombshell. The audience started whispering among themselves. "Is Mr. Hughes Senior seriously confined?" "Did he not have a heart attack?" "Could Jordan Lane really do something like this? Mr. Hughes Senior is his adoptive father." "So what? How rare is it for even biological fathers and sons to turn ag
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 153 Won't Look At Me
"Why?" Parker's gaze dimmed in an instant. He hurriedly asked, "Aren't you and Yardley in a contractual relationship? Didn't you say that you don't like him and that you'd call off your engagement to him soon? Is he forcing you?"Celia shook her head when she saw him acting so frantically. "What? Do you think there's anyone who could force me?" "Then why did you …" His face became etched with sadness.That was true. No one could force her, including Yardley. So Celia had accepted Yardley because …Celia guessed what he was thinking. She pressed her lips together and answered, "Because I've fallen in love with Yardley. So, I agreed to be with him." "N—no. That can't be!" Parker's face was full of disbelief when he heard that.Celia had made it clear that their grandfathers had merely arranged the engagement. How could she fall in love with him when she didn't have any feelings for him?"I got to know him all over again during our time in Festras," Celia explained. "He

"Parker, please don't be like this." Celia sighed, turned to look at Parker, and said, "Shouldn't you congratulate me on finding my true love and wish me well?" "True love …" A great pang gripped his heart.He had pursued Celia for two whole years. But it was no match for her one-month relationship with Yardley. He was such a loser. His handsome face went blank when he raised his head after a few minutes of silence. He looked Celia in the eye and said, "I wish you happiness." "Loving someone doesn't mean you have to have them. I will silently wish her well as long as she is happy," he thought. "Thank you." Celia breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best if Parker could figure it out. Celia didn't want him to be stuck in a rut. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are we still friends?" She smiled and answered with certainty, "Of course."Celia commented on the recent work schedule after the two arrived at Starlight Entertainment, "This
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 155 Let's Get Married
His passionate yet domineering kiss made her face flush in an instant. Their breaths mingled. His warm, thin lips pressed against hers. Her breathing became erratic from the passionate kiss. The temperature in the living room continued to rise. Her vision began to blur. Celia heard Yardley's low, husky voice in her dazed state. "Let's get married, Celia." "Married?" She came to her senses."What did you say?"His eyes darkened, and his thin lips curled into a smile. "Marry me, Celia!" he exclaimed lovingly. Celia was rendered speechless.She had agreed to be with Yardley, but she hadn't considered getting married so soon.After all, they had only known each other for about a month. Although they had been through a near-death experience together, getting married seemed a little too soon!Moreover, she still had a lot of things to do and didn't want to get married so soon."Yardley, you're drunk. Don't spout nonsense." Celia used her hand to cover Yar

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.
