Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 642 Former Friends
When Willow had attempted to seduce Yardley again, he had sensed that something was off. But because he had been busy with some matters back then, he had dealt with that incident hastily. Now, he had plenty of time to handle it."Our investigations show that the person who ordered her to do that was Mr. Troy Nicholson." The secretary lowered her voice when mentioning the man's name. She was hesitant to say it because she was aware of Troy's relationship with her boss. Hence, revealing this information placed her, the messenger, in a difficult position."Troy? Are you sure? Is this information accurate?" Yardley frowned. He had heard about Troy's chosen path but had never thought that he would come after him, given their relationship. Besides, Celia was also a good friend of Jocelyn's."Yes, Mr. Hughes. That was indeed what we uncovered. As for other details, we aren't very sure." The secretary struggled to maintain her composure. She couldn't help but tremble under Yardley
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 643 A Farce
Celia looked down, feeling somewhat surprised by Lillian's words. Yet she didn't show it on her face. She knew that someone was manipulating Lillian. Of course, she wouldn't let Lillian bully her either. Even so, some matters were better handled by others than by her. Yardley should be arriving anytime soon. Lillian mistook Celia's composed expression for an expression of guilt. Celia looked up at Lillian and questioned, "But what does this have anything to do with you, Madam Lillian?" "What did you say?" Lillian couldn't control her emotions. Pointing a finger at Celia rudely, Lillian started berating her again. "Don't you know how important this team is to Hughes Inc.? "This is all your fault! You don't understand the severity at all! That's why you asked Yardley to lend you his team. This led to a setback for Hughes Inc.!""Are you so sure that the information you received is accurate?" There was a trace of sarcasm in Celia's tone. But Lillian, being engrossed in her
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 644 Ashley Wakes Up
Watching Ashley's pale face, Celia felt deeply guilty. If it hadn't been for Lillian, Ashley wouldn't have ended up in this state.Celia clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. She restrained herself from reacting too much since Yardley was also with her. They entered Ashley's hospital room. The strong smell of disinfectant immediately filled their nostrils, assaulting their sense of smell.Celia frowned as she observed Ashley lying on the bed. Upon seeing how the latter's face was devoid of any color, Celia's heart went out to her.Still frowning, Celia approached Ashley and touched her gently on the forehead. The coolness she sensed on her fingertips made her shudder.Yardley noticed how Celia's expression shifted. He patted her on the back lightly to comfort her. This was all Lillian's doing, so he couldn't say much. He could only stay beside Celia quietly.What Lillian had done was unforgivable. Celia couldn't swallow her anger. She got a warm towel and gently wiped Ashl
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 645 Public Apology
Otto's eyes were filled with fury as he slammed his palm against the table and then the chair. "Dismiss Maude right away. Make sure she never sets foot in here ever again!"All the maids lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound. They were afraid that they might face the same fate as Maude in a second.Otto let out a sigh of relief, feeling unsure whether Celia would forgive him this time. He remained silent for a while before dialing Celia's number.…Celia had just put Ashley to sleep. She was about to deal with Lillian's matter when she received Otto's call. She answered the call without hesitation."Celia, I've interrogated those two traitors. They said a woman bribed the housekeeper. It was a lapse of judgment on her part when she instructed them to gossip to Lillian," Otto explained. However, Celia wasn't interested in what had brought about Lillian's rude behavior. Those reasons were no longer important to her. Lillian had hurt Ashley, and Celia would make sure sh
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 646 Good Friends Meet Again
Yardley had been contemplating the recent events. Finally, he decided to call Troy. After all, they had been good friends for many years.He heard the dial tone a few times before the call was answered."Yardley, it's been a long time. What made you suddenly call me?" Troy's familiar voice came from the other end."Why? Is an old friend like me not good enough to make a call to the great Mr. Nicholson now?" Yardley joked half-heartedly. They had been good friends for many years. Even if they had grown distant, a few friendly words would bridge that gap in no time.Troy paused for a moment before replying, "Of course not. So where should we go for dinner?"He knew what Yardley wanted to say after his opening line."The usual. You know it," Yardley said before hanging up.Troy froze for a moment. Then, a smile played on his lips. This familiar yet strange city seemed to offer him a touch of warmth at that moment.…Yardley drove to the entrance of the bar called Blue Dragonfly
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 647 Slinging Mud
Yardley's choice for dinner was fondue because that was what he was craving. Since dining alone might attract attention, he chose a restaurant with private rooms and made a reservation over the phone.He had booked a private room for himself. Upon arriving, he informed the waiter which room he had booked. The waiter then led him to the front desk for confirmation. After confirming, the waiter took Yardley to his room.The room wasn't large, but it was sufficient for six people to dine comfortably. After briefing Yardley on how to place an order, the waiter left.Yardley picked some dishes and a cheese base from the menu. He then pressed the button by the table to call the waiter to come and take his order.Feeling worried that Troy might cause trouble for Celia, Yardley called her.When the call connected, he said, "Watch out for Troy. Don't come into contact with him on your own."Celia was perplexed at his statement. "What's going on?"Yardley proceeded to explain the recent

"There must be a mistake. We don't have anyone named Ashley Payne listed among our show's guests." With that, the director hastily left.Ashley stood where she was in confusion. She dialed Celia's number. When the call connected, she said in an aggrieved tone, "I'm at the variety show's venue, but the director says I'm not on the list."Ashley explained what happened to Celia, who then instructed her to stay put. After hanging up, Celia rushed over immediately.When she arrived, she saw Ashley squatting nearby and crying silently. Celia helped her up and comforted her while a few directors stood inside.Celia put on a faint smile and walked straight in. She surveyed the room and said, "Has my artist offended any of you in any way? If she has, allow me to apologize on her behalf."One should disarm their opponents with politeness and courtesy before dismantling or confronting them. Celia had mastered this better than anyone else.The directors were all seated with their legs
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 649 Meeting Willow Again
Troy's expression darkened upon hearing Celia's words. "I just wanted to invite Jocelyn for a meal. Is there a need for you to be so defensive, Ms. Stanton?""Who knows what kind of things someone like you might do?"Jocelyn felt safe while hiding behind Celia. After all, Celia was no less imposing than Yardley. Once she made her presence known, she could intimidate others."You may have forgotten all those things you did in the past, but I haven't." Celia's gaze turned icy as she openly expressed how much she detested Troy."Let bygones be bygones. There's no need to keep mentioning the past." Troy shrugged, attempting to brush away past events.Jocelyn took a deep breath. She would never forget what Troy had done. But here he was, trying to gloss over it so casually now.Lowering her head, Jocelyn blamed herself for not knowing better back then and falling for his tricks.Celia scoffed and stepped forward to grab Troy by the collar. "Ever since you returned, you've changed d

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

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.
