Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 41 You Took the Designs
"What is it?" Sabrina and Shirley stopped at the same time. Choking down their hatred for Celia, they looked at her in confusion.Celia held up the folder that was used to hold the sheets of blank paper. "Let’s talk about this."Seeing the blank papers in Celia’s hand, Sabrina’s eyes flickered. "What do you want to talk about?"Celia walked toward Yardley and handed it to him. "A perfectly designed draft magically turned into a normal piece of paper. Don’t you think it’s suspicious, Mr. Hughes?"Yardley took the paper and put it on the table. His fingers drummed the table, creating an oppressive feeling in the room.The drafts obviously had not turned into blank papers by themselves. Someone must have replaced them. There were only a handful of people who had access to the designs, and Celia was always careful about things like these. She would not misplace the drafts.There were only two possibilities. The first was that someone had swapped the designs to spite Celia and embarra
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 42 Go With the Original Plan
"Yes, Mr. Hughes," Yannis respectfully answered. Soon, he obtained a copy of the surveillance from before Celia went to the airport and until she returned this morning. After that, Yannis returned to the meeting room."Mr. Hughes, I've got it." Yannis gave him the USB drive. Yardley took it, leaned back on his chair, and narrowed his eyes, thinking, what could the surveillance capture?"Start playing it." Yardley placed the USB drive on the table with a cold expression. "Yes." Yannis turned on the laptop, started the projector, and played the surveillance video. On the side, Sabrina secretly wiped away the sweat on her forehead, comforting herself, "So what if they got the surveillance? I wasn't the one who changed the design papers." Sabrina felt that her plan was perfect, and the blame wouldn't fall on her. A while later, the video started with Celia arranging the files. Then, she took out the design papers and carefully checked them over. From the surveillance footage, it was
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 43 You're Fired
Ms. Wade took out the recording pen, pressed a button, and the voices of two people having a conversation could be heard."Ms. Wade, I’ve wired 250,000 dollars to your account and I’ll give you another 250,000 when it’s over. You can use this money to treat your son’s illness. You wish for your son to grow healthily, right?" Sabrina’s voice resounded from the pen.Ms. Wade sounded nervous and excited. "That’s a lot of money … What do you want me to do?""It's simple. I just need you to change Ms. Stanton’s documents," Sabrina explained."But … what if I get found out … " Ms. Wade hesitated."Don’t worry. You can pretend to clean when there’s no one around. No one will notice you then."Sabrina chuckled. "Moreover, you only make three thousand dollars as a cleaner, how long do you think it'll take for you to save five hundred thousand dollars? And afterward, resign and lay low in your hometown. Then, find a new job once this is over. Isn't this a win-win situation?""Alright, I'l
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 44 Who Is Celia Stanton Actually?
Celia followed Yardley into his office and asked, "What do you need me for?"Yardley sat on the sofa and crossed his legs. He pointed with his long finger to the seat next to his and commanded, "Sit."Celia couldn’t understand why she was called, but she still sat next to Yardley, "So, Yardley, what’s the matter?"Yardley’s lips parted slightly before he asked in his deep rich voice, "You’re the instigator behind today’s event, am I right?""Instigator? Is he angry? Is he going to complain that I shouldn’t have publicly exposed Sabrina? Is he reluctant to let go of her? Is he going to criticize me?" such thoughts were passing through Celia’s mind as she tried to think of a proper response.Celia tilted her head and watched the man next to her warily, "Huh? Yardley, what do you mean?"He returned her stare with a calm and clear gaze.His eyes were like vortexes, sucking her into the abyss.He nodded and sat closer to her, "You knew that Sabrina would exchange the sketches early
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 45 Go to Hell, Celia!
Yardley didn’t want to admit that he was attracted to Celia. Her smiles and frowns were etched into his mind and it was all he could think about.It was already past working hours when Yardley got back from the Old Hughes estate. He called home and Maude informed him that Celia was not back yet. Hearing that, he drove straight to his company.As night fell, the employees in the office started to head home, but Celia was still busy at work. It wasn’t long before she was the only one left in the office.As she was concentrating on preparing a report, a shadow came and surrounded her."Who is it?" Celia looked around vigilantly. The thing she saw was none other than Yardley’s gorgeous face. Yardley was wearing a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up slightly. He appeared to be glowing due to the way the lights were shining on him."Yardley, what are you doing here?" Celia asked in a surprised manner.Yardley smirked, but replied in a professional manner, "I came to check on the p
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 46 Yardley Got Injured
Everything happened too quickly. Who would’ve thought that Sabrina would bring out a knife to hurt Celia?Celia sharpened her gaze, getting ready to kick the blade. Suddenly, Yardley used his body to shield her."It's dangerous! Be careful!" Yardley said in a deep voice. He used one arm to hug Celia and the other arm to capture Sabrina’s hand that was holding the knife.Celia never would’ve thought that Yardley would jump out in front of her. She didn’t manage to pull back her leg and kicked Yardley on the thigh. Yardley’s body trembled, and at the same time, the sharp blade slashed his hand, leaving a mark on the back of his hand."Tch …" The pain from both his thigh and hand made Yardley suck in a breath to reduce the pain. He should’ve been able to capture Sabrina’s hand, if not for the sudden kick Celia gave him. He was still trying to make sense of what happened."Yardley, how are you feeling?" Celia was very concerned when she saw how pained he looked. She initially planne
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 47 Deliberately Provoked Her
Celia realized that she had misspoken. She cleared her throat and explained, "I used to learn martial arts."Yardley chuckled, finding the idea that she learned martial arts to be unbelievable.Yardley did a full checkup at the hospital and just as Celia expected, the cut was superficial. He was lucky that there were no bone fractures in his leg. Instead, it was soft tissue contusion and just a few days of rest and recuperation was all he needed. Celia heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the prognosis. "Thank goodness you’re alright."Yardley glanced at her and asked, "Why? Were you worried about me?""What's wrong with being worried about you? You got hurt protecting me," Celia retorted.The doctor prescribed Yardley some medication before they left and Celia noted the instructions diligently.It was dawn when they exited the hospital. Yardley glanced at Celia and said, "Let’s go to Lunaria.""Not going home?" Celia asked."It’s very late." Yardley gave a soft smile. Actual

Celia had no choice but to support Yardley with one arm and fumble for the keys in Yardley’s trouser pocket with the other. She was reaching around for the keys when Yardley snorted, "Where do you think you’re touching?""I’m sorry," Celia apologized and tried to reach for the keys in a different direction.Today mustn’t have been Celia’s lucky day. She had been trying to search for the keys, but they were nowhere to be found. She started to grow impatient and started to reach around the pocket for them, but the more impatient she got, the more she couldn’t find them.Yardley felt some static electricity run through him when he felt Celia’s hand caressing his thigh through the fabric. "Yardley, where did you put the keys? They’re not here!" Celia started to sweat after fumbling for the keys for a few minutes while supporting Yardley the entire time.Yardley grabbed her hand with his uninjured hand and put it into the other trouser pocket. "This side.""You!" Celia rolled her eye

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

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.
