Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 573 Relying on Luck
"Me?" Celia stunned. Reaching around Celia's waist, Yardley whispered in her ear, "Yeah. To be honest, I'm clueless about gemstones." Celia's mouth twitched when she heard that. She thought Yardley had suggested making a bet because he had some secret that guaranteed victory. Yet, it turned out that he was really gambling."Is Ms. Stanton also a gemstone betting master?" Patrick raised his head to look at Celia, and his eyes showed a hint of scrutiny.Turning to look at Patrick, Celia deliberately appeared mysterious. She rested her hand on her chin and smiled. This not only intrigued Patrick but also raised suspicions from Jasmine. Patrick knew that someone who was by Yardley's side couldn't be a simple person. But she looked younger than Jasmine. So how could she be a gemstone expert?Satisfied with their reactions, Celia, who had kept them in suspense for a long time, finally opened her hands. "Gemstone betting? It's my first time today. Well, since it's betting, it's a

Suddenly, Celia walked over, carrying a huge stone. Those who didn't know any better would think she had chiseled it out of a cliff. The larger the stone, the higher the value and the higher the probability of finding something valuable inside. But this happened rarely, as many who chose large stones failed to uncover what they desired. After all, gemstone betting was a risky business. One cut could make you a millionaire or leave you bankrupt. No one would choose such a large stone without a more than 50% chance of success.Everyone was surprised, but Celia didn't care. She calmly placed the stone down. "I'm exhausted. This thing is quite heavy," she said, fanning herself as if relieved of a burden. Patrick observed her and couldn't help but frown. Meanwhile, standing by the side, Jasmine scoffed. "Ms. Stanton, larger stones don't necessarily yield better results."The disdain in her eyes was obvious. Jasmine glanced at the stone that Celia had brought over. It was a dull gr

"This …" The professional stonecutter had an interesting expression on his face. He cut the stone all the way to the bottom, yet there wasn't the slightest gleam of a gemstone to be seen."It's indeed a useless piece of rock with nothing inside," Jasmine said condescendingly. She had felt a little nervous in the beginning. But after thinking about it, she realized how foolish she had been. "She's definitely an amateur.""I know, right? She picked such a huge raw stone. It seems like there is nothing inside.""This is going to be a huge loss for her."Celia was completely unaffected by the crowd's chatter. She stroked her chin and took a closer look at the stone. "Did I make a wrong guess?" she muttered. She pointed at the remaining half of the stone and said, "Start cutting from here, then."The stonecutter, who was about to step away, was stunned. "You still want to keep going?""Of course. Start cutting now." Celia stood beside the rock with a look of anticipation.
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 576 Admit Defeat
Jasmine rushed over almost immediately with a surprised look on her face. Her gaze was fixed on the rock. Even her fingers, which were pressed against the table, were trembling. Getting such a huge piece of opal from a raw stone was already unheard of. But an even more valuable piece was hidden in the part that had been cut off. Jasmine couldn't believe her eyes. She was a veteran gemstone gambler but had never heard of something like this happening. Hadn't Celia said that she was a complete amateur? Why was she so lucky? Could it be that Celia had been hiding her skills all along? "I told you. I'm very lucky. Now, do you believe me?"Celia was incredibly calm. She walked up to Yardley and wrapped her arm around his waist. He kissed her cheek affectionately and said, "Yeah. Even I'm amazed by your luck." He had been stunned when the stonecutter had announced that there was opal in Celia's raw stone. Celia smiled with a glint in her eyes. "These things are all up to luc

Celia thought Yardley had proposed gemstone betting because of Magnus."Honestly, it was because I saw your conversation," he admitted truthfully. However, his expression was a little weird. "I didn't expect you to know him."He hadn’t thought that far when he saw Celia's conversation on her phone. However, now that Celia mentioned it, he immediately thought of the possibility.But he honestly hadn’t expected Celia to know Magnus.The "Magnus" the couple were talking about was none other than Jasmine's grandfather, the current head of the Silva family. He was a legend in gemstone betting, and he had played a significant role in propelling the Silva family to its current position."The way I got to know Mr. Silva Senior was honestly quite peculiar." Celia reminisced for a moment, a wry smile playing at the corners of her mouth.In the end, it was all thanks to her badass grandfather. Celia had met Magnus when she was a child, and Magnus had asked her to pick out a gemstone.
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 578 Have You by My Side
Yardley was in the kitchen preparing dinner when Celia arrived home.Celia sniffed the air before wrapping her arms around his waist. "Yardley."Celia nuzzled against his back, which made her voice sound a little muffled."What's wrong?" he asked softly as he turned his head.Celia shook her head and looked up at him. "It's just so nice to have you here by my side.""How did things go at work?" Yardley asked as he booped her nose and leaned down to plant a kiss on her forehead."We still haven't found the reporter who snuck in."Celia sighed, thinking about it. "I'm just worried about Morgan."After all, those two individuals could have seen Morgan's van and recognized her. That meant Morgan could be in danger as long as the mole in the company wasn't caught.At first, she had suggested Morgan take a break and stay at home, but the latter had refused. Morgan believed she shouldn't let her personal life interfere with her work.Celia hadn’t pressed further but had advise

Morgan was still immersed in the emotions from the scene. She blinked several times because she couldn't believe her eyes. Why was Richard here?Richard proceeded to take the towel from one of the staff and put it over Morgan's head. Then, he drew her into his arms. Morgan came back to her senses when she felt his warmth. She raised her head and smiled. "Why are you here?"Her voice was a little hoarse because of the crying scene. There were even traces of tears on her lashes. She nuzzled into Richard's embrace like a playful little kitten."Because I missed you," Richard said tenderly as he helped her dry her hair. He had come over to bring Morgan a portable fan and some ice because she had complained about the weather being too hot. He had happened to see her acting out that scene. "How was my performance?"Morgan lowered her head to look at Richard's clothes, which were wet because of her. She wanted to move away, but Richard wouldn’t loosen his grip. "You were g

The sound of the car screeching drew the attention of the security guards in the parking lot. The driver noticed that and turned around to escape the scene. Morgan dashed toward Richard with a dumbfounded look on her face."Richard, are you okay?"She kneeled before Richard, close to tears. Then, she reached out to hold Richard's arm. Richard stood up while holding the back of his head. He shook his head and said, "I'm fine."A security guard in the parking lot ran over and asked, "What happened?"Morgan was still fixated on Richard. She was so anxious that she was unable to talk. Richard noticed her distress, so he wrapped his arm around her shoulder to comfort her. He turned to the security guard and said, "A car tried to run us over. Please check the surveillance footage to check the car's plate and its driver."The security guard's expression turned grave when he heard that. "Okay. I'll get right on it.""Let's go to the hospital first." Morgan didn't dare to wait a

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?"

"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?"
