Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 63 Brand Ambassadors
In the days that followed, Celia and Yardley found themselves trapped in a cold war.Neither of them mentioned that day's happenings, nor did they breach the distance between them. Yardley had resumed his usual icy aloofness, and Celia devoted all of her time and energy toward the Flames of Ice project she had been tasked to overlook.The project had been running smoothly so far, its progress far exceeding the company's expectations.Bruce appeared to be very satisfied with their progress.The minute she received the samples, she called him immediately. "Mr. Manning, the preliminary samples for Flame of Ice are already here. Are you free now? I could bring them over to you."Bruce's reply was filled with surprise. "Already?""Yep." Celia mirrored his palpable excitement. "Are you at Belleview Hotel right now? I can come over right away.""I am. Room 808."When Celia arrived at the exact room he instructed her to with the samples, Bruce was already waiting."Here you go, Mr. Manning. Th
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 64 Perfect Parker
Celia stepped into the elevator skeptically and arrived at the president's office shortly after.Slowly, Yardley's face came into view, the stern contours on his face familiar yet unbelievably frigid. Celia couldn't help but shudder at the sight of it.Taking a deep breath, she then raised her arm to knock on the door once."Enter," came Yardley's deep, resonant voice.Celia pushed the door open and stepped into his office.Yardley was sitting at his desk, a stack of documents held on one distinct arm. His demeanor radiated elegance and a sense of nobility one rarely got to behold. Yet, his movements also exuded dominance and oppression, every inch a leader sitting at the very top of the economic pyramid."What do you want, Yardley?" Celia retracted her gaze, getting straight to the point."Where have you been?" Yardley asked, his delicate features frozen in ice.He'd just gotten out of a meeting when he swung by the secretarial department, though Celia hadn't been in.When asked about
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 65 Inferior to Parker
Yardley's brows furrowed, his dominant aura lowering the temperature around them to below freezing point.Mean, stingy, and had a bad temper—was that really what Celia thought of him, above his mercurial temperament and penchant for bullying others?In the eyes of everyone else, he was a prominent figure, a proud son of the heavens who could move mountains, his existence unattainable by mere mortals.And yet, to Celia, he seemed to have fallen short in every aspect, an inferior being compared to Parker.What did the other man have that he didn't?"Why are you here, Yardley?" Celia stood up, surprise flooding her features.Could he have heard the entirety of her phone call with her grandfather?Fucking hell.Who knew how angry he could be now if he'd really heard everything?"Go home," Yardley said indifferently.Go home?What did he mean by that?Was he asking her to return with him?The awkwardness between them that day lingered vividly in her mind, prompting her to shake her head. "I
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 66 Not in Good Condition
"Because of Parker? What is Yardley thinking about?" Celia was speechless. She looked at Yardley and said, "Yardley, why must you bring Parker into this? Don't tell me the powerful Mr. Hughes lacks confidence?" After that, she turned to the car. Yardley's expression darkened as he pursed his lips, obviously unhappy. How could he lack confidence? Even though Parker was known as the King of Movies, Yardley felt that he was no worse than him when it came to everything else. It was Celia's words that made him unsettled. One day, he would show her that he was a million better than Parker. The next afternoon, Celia, Annie, and Parker scheduled a time for the audition, which was taken at the Hughes Inc. studio. Parker was already waiting when Celia arrived, but Annie was nowhere to be found. "Celia." Parker couldn't help but smile when he saw her. Then, he walked over to meet her."You're early." Celia looked at the time before continuing, "There's still ten minutes before shooting time
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 67 Accident on the Shooting Scene
"For Flames of Ice, you need to show the two sides of a woman—her elegance and passion. Your performance only showed the fiery side, but I can't feel the icy side," Celia explained. "I don't agree." Annie's expression was tense. It was obvious she wasn't happy with Celia's comment. "Ms. Stanton, do you know how to shoot a commercial? If you don't, you'd better shut up." Annie was unhappy because Celia corrected her in front of so many people. To her, Celia was just a secretary while she was Bruce's girlfriend.Celia smiled when she saw that Annie wasn't willing to accept her opinion. "I know that as the ambassador, you have to interpret the theme of the product. Ms. Lauren, I can only find someone to replace you if you can't do it.""You!" Annie's expression was livid. She never expected Celia to be so ruthless. Then, she looked at Bruce with an aggrieved expression. "Honey, do you think I was that bad?"Bruce stood up and walked to Annie, looking at her deeply. "I agree with Ms. S
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 68 The Enemy's Enemy Is a Friend
Celia narrowed her eyes and asked, feeling the matter today wasn't as simple as it seemed.Every year, Hughes Inc. would overhaul equipment, and experts would check the light fixings. Therefore, it wouldn't fall off so easily. Also, why did the light coincidentally fall on her? Who could the person behind this be?At first, Celia thought it might be Williow's doing again. However, Celia walked onto the stage just because she wanted to show Annie how to express the feelings she wanted due to how badly Annie performed. Willow wouldn't have known that. So, it should be Annie and Parker standing there instead. Could the light be aimed at Annie instead?Then again, Annie came from Festras, and Celia ruled out the possibility of someone harming her. As for Parker, Celia wasn't sure if he had enemies. Even if someone did want to harm him, they wouldn't do it at Hughes Inc, right? After all, that was Yardley's company, and the consequences of offending him were serious.Celia was puzzled, feel
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 69 Homey Yardley Hughes
Yardley was in a casual outfit with an apron around his waist as he focused on making breakfast. The sun shining in from the window gave him a warm halo. It was hard to look away from his handsome features, especially his tall nose and sexy lips. He looked different from his usual cold self during work. There was a sense of domesticity about him when he wore the apron, but he still looked remarkably handsome, causing Celia to be in a trance. "You're awake?" Yardley heard her and turned back to glance at her. Celia came to her senses and asked in confusion, "Why are you in the kitchen?""Well, Maria took a day off," Yardley replied."Is that so?" Celia nodded before asking, "Do you know how to cook?" Yardley smiled. "You can have a try."Celia had to admit that Yardley was good at cooking. Sitting by the table, she watched him fry the eggs, saying, "You're good." It was out of her expectations that a president of a huge company would be a skilled cook as well. Celia couldn't help b
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 70 Did It on Purpose
Celia recuperated at home for a few days, and her leg injury was almost healed. Today was the shooting of the Flames of Ice commercial, so Celia came to the studio half an hour earlier to make sure everything was ready. After a while, Annie, Bruce, and Parker arrived."Is everything ready?" Celia checked everything, and after she was sure everything was in place, she talked to the makeup artist The makeup artist nodded. "I can start on the makeup." "I'll go change first. Where is the outfit for today's shoot?" Annie glanced at Celia indifferently before asking."It's here." Celia gave her the bag with the outfit inside. She'd designed it, and it was also the latest work of Leo's design studio. Celia specially designed this dress to match the Flames of Ice theme.Annie took the outfit and brought her assistant to the fitting room. When Annie changed, she was in the fiery red evening gown Celia had designed. It looked as if it were tailored for Annie. The layers of fabric revealed her

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 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

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?"
