"I can't do that. I've already told them I would go. How can I go back on my word?" Celia wasn't happy that her phone had been taken away, and it was written on her face."Did you forget that you have a cold right now? I can't believe you would still want to go out in the cold and drink. What if it develops into pneumonia? Are you asking for trouble, Celia?" Yardley forcefully placed the glass of water in her hand and offered her the medicine with his other hand. "I'll take the medicine."Celia took a sip of water with her left hand and swallowed the pill with her right hand. Then, she looked at Yardley and stated flatly, "But I have to go to the party tomorrow night." Celia was a person with strong principles. She would keep any promise she made. Moreover, it was just a cold—nothing too serious. This domineering man always made a mountain out of a molehill. "You're not allowed to go, and that's final." Nervousness and concern flashed across his eyes as he sa

What was so good about that bitch?Why did Yardley care so much about her?Willow had finally managed to provoke Regina to go after Celia. She hadn't expected Celia to come out unscathed again! Regina was as useful as a chocolate teapot. Willow had put in so much effort behind the scenes to help Regina, but it had all been for nothing! She was going to humiliate Celia tonight, so Yardley would never look at her again!Willow's eyes twinkled wickedly as she turned her head and looked at Lisa. "You know what to do, right? Have someone spike Celia's drink," she whispered in her ear."Alright, Willow," Lisa said promptlyWillow's gaze turned cold when she recalled the lesson learned from Annie last time. "It has to be a colorless and tasteless drug. We mustn't let that bitch figure it out!" she added."Alright. You can count on me!" Lisa nodded. A contented smile graced Willow's face. Celia definitely wouldn't get away this time!… Celia found the banquet hall a

Celia frowned. She hadn't expected Parker to be drugged as well. She needed to find a way to sober him up quickly. Otherwise, she and Parker would be ruined if things escalated She wouldn't allow that to happen! Her gaze turned cold when she thought of that. Celia forcefully pushed Parker away and took in her surroundings. All of a sudden, she noticed a pitcher on the table that was still full of water. Her eyes lit up as she reached for the pitcher and poured the cold water onto Parker's face. The sudden, cold sensation jolted him awake. "Celia, I—" Parker was utterly confused.What had happened to him? He massaged his temples, and memories from moments ago began to come back to him. He recalled Celia being ill and going to the lounge to rest. Then, a waitress had come to tell him that Celia had wanted to see him. After that … he had arrived at the lounge, and his entire body had felt out of sorts."Listen to me, Parker—we've been drugged." Celia
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 278 Don’t Be Fooled by Celia
Everyone in the lounge suddenly found it strange when Celia said that.The reporters present had all received an anonymous message telling them there was breaking news here—that Celia and Parker were having an affair. That was why they had come.When the reporters noticed that Celia and Parker were actually in the lounge, they immediately jumped to conclusions. They had assumed that the two were indeed doing something scandalous because of the content of the text message.In reality, Celia and Parker were just in the lounge. The reporters had no idea why both of them were soaked, but the two of them hadn't done anything inappropriate.But Lisa wasn't a reporter, so she wouldn't have received that anonymous text message. Why would she also assume that Celia and Parker were having an affair? Unless … she was the one who sent the anonymous message. Everyone turned to look at Lisa inquisitively. "Ms. Burke, do you have anything to say in response to Ms. Stanton's question

"Is that so?" Yardley's cold gaze swept over Lisa.His intimidating presence almost made Lisa's legs go weak.She took a step back, took a deep breath, and forced herself to say, "Mr. Hughes, everything I said is true. You can ask them if you don't believe me. All of the reporters present witnessed it with their own eyes."Yardley turned around and asked Celia, "Did you?" "I didn't," she replied as she crossed her arms and looked at Lisa with a mocking smile."I believe you."Lisa's eyes widened in surprise when Yardley said that.Everyone had seen Celia and Parker in a disheveled state inside the lounge. But Yardley didn't ask a single question and just believed her.He believed Celia unconditionally!A wave of unease washed over Lisa when she noticed Celia's confident demeanor.She instinctively clenched her fists. Her heart raced as she wondered if these two had planned this ahead of time.That couldn't be!She had clearly instructed the waitress to take Celia's phone w
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 280 Confession
Celia's imposing presence made Lisa take a step back involuntarily.Lisa tried to calm down. She told herself she had been careful and shouldn't have left any loopholes. Even if the police were here, there would be no other evidence that she had drugged anyone. If there had been any proof, it would already have been presented.In this regard, Lisa felt much more at ease.However, the next second, Celia pointed at Lisa. She said to the police, "The mastermind behind this incident is her! I hope you'll conduct a thorough investigation.""That's slander!" Lisa fumed. "When did I drug you? It was those two waitresses. I don't have any powder on me!""How did you know it was powder? I don't recall those two waitresses ever specifying whether they used powder, liquid, or pills. Are you admitting that you're guilty, Ms. Burke?" Celia smiled mockingly.Celia was poised, confident, and radiant. Her orange dress made her shine like the brightest star in the night sky, dazzling."I …"

Yardley's heart skipped a beat. Where had Celia run off to?How could she suddenly vanish into thin air when her body had gone limp and weak under the influence of drugs?Had something happened?He frowned as he scanned the surroundings, but he couldn't see Celia.His tone was urgent as he called out, "Celia! Celia!" The next second, Celia climbed onto his strong back from behind.Then, she wrapped her slender, fair arms around Yardley's neck. "I'm right here, Yardley." Yardley stiffened as he felt the heat on his back. His voice was low and husky as he reprimanded, "Why aren't you resting in bed?"Celia's eyes were glassy as she tiptoed, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "I'm so uncomfortable, Yardley. Can you please help me …"He narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip around the towel he was holding. He stood frozen in place and asked in a low and deep voice, "Are you sure?""Yeah …" Celia lifted his chin playfully. She nibbled on his earlobe lightly and trace
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 282 You Must Have What You Want
Celia rolled her eyes at Yardley. "Jerkface!""What's the matter? Would you rather something had happened between us last night?" Yardley smirked, his tone playful."You wish!" Celia fumed, her face flushed with anger.Chuckling, he leaned in and whispered in her ear huskily, "You're not wrong. That is something I wish for …"His voice was too seductive. Celia couldn't help but blush as she hurriedly pushed Yardley away. "Didn't you say you were going to prepare breakfast? Well, go on then!" she exclaimed after clearing her throat."Alright," he said. He stopped teasing her and went downstairs. "That man!" she cursed under her breath. Celia watched Yardley leave the room before rushing out of bed and getting dressed.The inappropriate scenes from last night gradually emerged in her mind and became clearer and clearer.Celia remembered that Yardley had carried her to the bed and kissed her passionately last night. But why had he stopped?Was it because she wasn't alluring

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?"

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?"
