Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 288 You Are as Good as Dead
Celia's expression hardened at that thought.Her phone abruptly rang. She looked down at her phone and noticed that Yardley was calling her.Her heart skipped a beat as his name continued to flash on the screen.Celia pressed the answer button with her slender fingers. "Hello, Yardley.""I've reached Ecren, Celia." His magnetic voice came through the phone."Why did you suddenly go to Ecren for a business trip? Did something happen?" Celia asked with concern.Yardley seemed to have left in a hurry that evening.He hadn't even said goodbye to her. He had just left a note on the fridge.Afterward, she had gone to the office and asked Yannis, who had confirmed that everything was fine with Hughes Inc.'s subsidiary in Ecren.Celia had no idea what had happened to make Yardley rush to Ecren in such a hurry."It's nothing. It's just a personal matter," he said calmly."Personal matter?" Celia was a little taken aback.Yardley's tone became solemn. "Someone saw one of the sailors
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 289 I Want Celia Dead
Earl raised his head and gave the bodyguard a look. The bodyguard caught on and left, closing the door behind him.Now Regina and Earl were alone in the private room. His eyes were filled with desire as he took in the sight of Regina.Despite feeling uncomfortable all over, she walked over to the couch and sat down. "I'm here, Earl.""Do you want me to get rid of Celia, Ms. Wright?" Earl abruptly rose to his feet. He appeared tall due to his lean physique.He was dressed in a designer suit, but it couldn't hide his murderous aura."Yes. I want Celia dead!" Regina answered through gritted teeth.Earl swirled the drink in his hand and narrowed his eyes as he watched the couples dancing on the dance floor through the floor-to-ceiling window. "Just say the word, and I'll make it happen.""Seriously?" Even though she had done her homework, she was still skeptical.After all, she had tried to deal with Celia so many times before, but her plans had failed each time."Since you ca
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 290 Celia Has to Die Today
Celia gripped the steering wheel with one hand and the car door handle with the other as she drove toward the heap of garbage in the alley.The car crashed into the garbage violently, but it continued forward because the brakes were malfunctioning.The tires screeched against the ground, and the car gradually slowed down.Celia took advantage of the two or three seconds of respite to open the door, protect her head, and nimbly leap out.Pain surged through her body as her skin scraped against the hard concrete ground.She continued to roll down the road until she hit a pile of plastic foam on the side."Whew! I'm safe now," she thought as she breathed a sigh of relief.Her face turned grim when she looked at the damaged car.It was evident that her car's brakes hadn't failed on their own. Someone had obviously tampered with them.Who the hell had tried to harm her?Celia regained her composure and got up from the ground. She pulled out her phone, planning to call Anthony so t
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 291 Where on Earth Did Celia Go
However, Celia remained calm and composed.The corners of her lips quirked up as she fought Earl's henchmen, wielding the steel pipes in her hands like two swords.The crisp sound of bones breaking sounded whenever her steel pipes struck someone. Her attacks were precise and ruthless, and she showed no mercy.She knew she would be the one lying on the ground if she did.In the blink of an eye, Earl's gang of henchmen were all lying on the ground, clutching their arms and knees in agony. All of them had been thoroughly defeated!Celia put the steel pipes away and smiled as she looked at Earl calmly. "Mr. Hudson, let's talk business, shall we?" "Business?" Earl was taken aback.Celia nodded. "Tell me who you made a deal with. What did that person promise you? I'll double it."Earl snorted. He couldn't deny that Celia was a force to be reckoned with.He had never seen a woman fight so well and so ruthlessly.Still, Earl declined Celia's offer when he thought of Regina's seduc
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 292 In the Nick of Time
It was already dark outside at this point. Yardley felt more anxious as the seconds ticked by.Celia wasn't the kind of person who would go off the radar without telling anyone. She wouldn't disappear for no reason.What had happened to her? Had she encountered any danger?Yardley couldn't shake the feeling that Celia was in trouble.He hurriedly dialed Yannis' number. "Help me look into Celia's whereabouts.""Alright, Mr. Hughes," Yannis immediately answered.He called Yardley back a few minutes later. "Mr. Hughes, we checked the traffic surveillance footage. Ms. Stanton's car … is a little strange.""Strange?" Yardley frowned."Yes, she ran several red lights," Yannis answered truthfully.According to the surveillance footage, Celia had been driving abnormally. She had run red lights and headed for the suburbs.Then, she had driven into a blind spot in the surveillance cameras, so no one knew where her car had gone after that.A vein popped out in Yardley's neck as he orde
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 293 Do Not Test Me
Celia had a very long dream.In the dream, she was being pursued by a lot of people, and she was running for her life.There was a cliff in front of her, and the people who were chasing after her were behind her … She was at a dead end!"Yardley, save me …" Celia subconsciously cried out, but her throat was extremely dry, and she couldn't utter a word.She was pushed off the cliff, and she kept falling down.Celia woke up with a start.What was that? Was that a nightmare?But it had been so vivid. It felt like it had actually happened. It was definitely not a dream!Celia tried to move her fingers, but her muscles were so sore and tired.Then, it hit her. Earl's men had tampered with her car's brakes. Then, she had been surrounded and attacked by his henchmen after she had managed to get out of the car.Celia had knocked them down one after another, but she had been seriously outnumbered. She had felt as though she had been fighting an endless stream of people.Later, she
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 294 Awkward Scene
"Okay." Celia massaged her temples as she wondered who wanted her dead.There was a knock on the door just then. "May I come in, Mr. Hughes?"Yardley's clear voice rang out. "Come in."Yannis pushed the door open and walked up to Yardley. "I've found something, Mr. Hughes," he said respectfully."Is it about the person behind Earl?" Celia inquired eagerly."Yes, Ms. Stanton." Yannis nodded."Have you found out who was behind Earl?" she asked urgently.Celia was eager to find out who despised her so much that they would actually hire Earl to kill her."It's Regina Wright," Yannis said solemnly.Regina? Celia was taken aback, as she hadn't expected it to be her.It wasn't unexpected, though. After all, Regina had a deep-seated hatred for her and had attempted to harm her several times. Zephyr had repeatedly promised her that he would keep an eye on Regina and prevent her from causing trouble when he had taken her away that day.Moreover, Celia didn't believe that Regina ha
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 295 Regina Is Missing
"This man is …" Celia frowned as a vague suspicion arose in her heart.Anthony reached out, pointed at the screen, and said calmly, "It's Chandler Lawrence. This photograph was taken at Atria.""So it is him." She narrowed her eyes.Her previous guess was correct.In other words, Angelica and Chandler had known each other for a long time. The two hadn't just happened to meet when they framed her for leaking the bid to BPL."Have you found out what their relationship is?" she asked.Anthony shook his head. "Not yet."Celia smiled. "Look into it for me.""You can count on me, Ava!" he readily agreed.All of a sudden, he thought of something. "By the way, Ava, Regina was the one who ordered Earl to get rid of you.""I know. Yardley just told me." Celia nodded."I didn't expect this woman to hate me to the point where she would wish for my death."If she had known Regina was such a psychopath, she wouldn't have let Zephyr take her away back then."Zephyr can't be blamed for th

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.
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 906 Baby Boy
"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. Hence, Morgan said, "Celia isn't seeing anyone today. Please come back another time."To Morgan's surprise, her words ignited the anger that Quinn had been suppressing in her heart. The two quickly started arguing.Celia listened to their argument from her room. She regretted asking Morgan to handle Quinn. She had expected that Quinn would come looking for her
