Jean-Pierre froze on the spot. How had it turned out like this?

Annie had claimed she put the necklace in Celia's bag. But now, it was in her bag instead!

Had she intended to steal his necklace?

As this thought crossed his mind, he looked at Annie with anger. "What's going on?"

Her face paled, and she seemed bewildered. "It wasn't me. I swear!"

Celia was about to speak when a man's voice sounded from nearby.

"Being suspected of intentional theft and framing others can land you in jail. A 20-million-dollar necklace is enough to put you behind bars for the rest of your life, Ms. Lauren."

The voice sounded so familiar.

Celia's heart skipped a beat. She turned her head and saw a tall figure approaching them.

Yardley was here!

Celia had thought he was still in Yrendale. Why had he suddenly returned?

Facing Celia's puzzled gaze, Yardley gave her a sexy smirk.

Then, he instructed the security guards beside him coldly, "Take Annie to the police station. As for Mr. Jean-Pierre, l

    Willow sounded awfully confident. This made Parker snort in response.He leaned against his desk and said seriously, "Ms. Xanders, forgive me for being blunt, but you're too naive. "If Yardley and Celia could be easily separated by a few words, you wouldn't have had come to see me today."His words struck a nerve. Willow clenched her fists a little and pursed her lips. Her smile faltered a bit as well."So what?"Parker shook his head and looked at her without much interest. He retorted mercilessly, "So I have no intention of working with you. I like Celia, but I would never resort to such unethical methods to win her over. You've come to the wrong person."Parker's rejection was unequivocal, and Willow's gaze dimmed."If there's nothing else, please leave." He urged her to leave.Willow stood up from the couch abruptly. She glared at Parker and said, "I hope you won't regret what you said today."With that, she left in a hurry.Lisa followed her out. Her gaze darkened as

    "Alright." Yardley stared at Celia deeply for a while. The fire in his eyes wasn't completely gone, but he backed down in the end.He released her hand and sat down next to her, appearing somewhat helpless.Seeing him in this restrained state, Celia felt a twinge of guilt. She extended her delicate hand, placed it on Yardley's shoulder, and leaned against him. She looked at him and said, "We have a lot of time ahead of us. There'll be plenty of chances in the future."Yardley turned to look at Celia's exquisite face. He planted a kiss on her forehead and said, "Yes, we have long days together ahead of us."...After Parker left, he walked over to a dimly lit streetlamp. It happened to face the direction of Celia's living room. He couldn't help but look up at the glaring light coming from Celia's window.Yardley and Celia were definitely together now, right? They might even be ...Intense bitterness filled Parker's heart. He shook his head and forced those thoughts away. He low

After getting a signal from Celia, she helped Henry sit in a nearby chair.Joaquin removed the old bandage from Henry's leg and saw that his wound had worsened. His lips formed a taut line as he carefully examined the injury. He pressed around the area gently. Henry frowned and even broke into a cold sweat, all while clenching his teeth and keeping silent.Joaquin stood up after a while.With her hands tightly clasped together, Nicole hurriedly asked, "Uncle Fletcher, what's Henry's condition? Can his leg still be treated?"Joaquin shook his head, his expression grave. "The injury in his right leg is severe. It's been neglected for quite some time.

    "Hmm? Not drunk … I'm not drunk ..." Nicole heard a voice through her hazy consciousness. She instinctively turned her head and saw Norman's face.She chuckled absentmindedly. Her face was flushed thanks to the alcohol. She reached out to pull Norman's sleeve. "Hey, it's Norman … What are you doing here too? Perfect! Drink with me!"Nicole's tone was firm, so Norman had no choice but to sit next to her."Come, let's toast!" Nicole poured some alcohol into another glass and handed it to Norman.He didn't reach out to take it. Instead, he looked at her with concern. She seemed to have become haggard over the past few days.Just as Nicole was about to have another drink, Norman grabbed her wrist to stop her from downing the alcohol. "Nicole, don't drink anymore. You've already had enough.""Let go … Let go of my hand!" Nicole shouted at him with furrowed brows, shaking off his hand. "If you still consider me your friend, then drink with me! Otherwise, leave me be."With that,

    "Are you sure?" Willow looked at Lisa skeptically.Seeing Lisa nodding earnestly, Willow gave an approving nod. After all, Lisa had been coming up with plans for her all this time."Alright. I'll wait for news from you."In the evening, Celia rushed to the hospital to visit Henry. Nicole was preparing to leave when she arrived. Upon seeing her, Nicole froze for a moment."Nicole," Celia greeted her and then lowered her head to look at Henry, who was lying in the hospital bed. She asked, "Henry, how's your leg? Is it feeling any better?"Unexpectedly, Henry acted as if he hadn't heard her at all. He just turned his head to look out of the window. On the other hand, Nicole stood by the window, avoiding eye contact with everyone.Celia sensed that something was amiss and looked at Nicole. "What's going on? Is something the matter between you two?"Only then did Nicole raise her head and force a smile at Celia. She tugged on Celia's sleeve and said, "It's nothing. Let's talk outsi

She knew who Nicole loved in her heart, but Norman seemed very sincere too."Well ..."Normal could tell that Celia was starting to waver. He took another step forward and looked into her eyes, his warmth and sincerity shining through."Celia, I swear I like Nicole. I want to protect her for the rest of my life. Please help me!""... Alright." Celia relented and agreed upon seeing the determination in Norman's eyes. She believed he wasn't lying.However, Celia knew Nicole's personality well.

Angelica teared up, looking to Yardley as if seeking his help.Celia crossed her arms, and her gaze shifted between the two of them. She seemed both angry and amused.

    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."

    "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.

    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."

    "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?"

    "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.

    "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.
