"Of course. Wipe away your tears and nose, and come out with me," said Celia.She handed a few tissues to Ashley, who did what she was told. After a while, she followed Celia outside."Mrs. Payne, I heard about what happened just now. I want to apologize on behalf of Ashley," Celia stated politely with a glowing smile."Oh no, why would you say that?" Amy replied, taken aback. "You're Ashley's boss, and we should be thanking you instead.""Mom, why are you behaving like that?" interrupted Sylvia. A little displeased, she tugged at Amy's collar, only to be glared back at."Since you put it that way, let me express my opinion," said Celia with a stern face, and Amy urged her to continue. "In today's society, for a newbie like Ashley, it's crucial to establish a stable foundation in the industry. And money is a person's best weapon."Celia's words made a lot of sense, which led to Amy nodding in agreement.Celia continued, "Almost everyone nowadays has an awareness of saving mone

Upon seeing Celia come out with her luggage, a group of people swarmed around her. One person carried her luggage, and another held the kit with the carving tools she had brought.

She hadn't expected being a competition judge to be more tiring than participating in it herself. She quietly vowed that she would never accept such an exhausting task again.She stretched her body lazily and returned to the hotel she was staying in for the carving competition.She glanced at the clock on the wall. There were two days left until the final round. During these two days, she needed to rest and recuperate. Her work had only come in third place in the preliminary round.

For a while, no one dared to question whether Celia's participation in the carving competition was just a coincidence.Right then, another public opinion emerged and attracted everyone's attention."Have you heard? A few days ago, wasn't Celia a judge at the oil painting competition by Noble Colors? I received news that Nona had rejected to judge the competition in the first place. This proves that Nona's oil painting skills are more recognized than Celia's."This statement undoubtedly caught the attention of many netizens, instantly shifting the direction of public opinion.Celia read the online comments but chose not to pay attention.

Celia casually pursed her lips, paying little attention to the hate comments. Then, she turned off her phone and prepared for bed.The next day, Celia got up early, perhaps because she was in a good mood. Just after she finished her morning routine, she got a call.She glanced at it, and, much to her surprise, the caller was Nona.Celia furrowed her brows. What did Nona want at this time?Thinking about the incident from that day, Celia initially thought of rejecting the call. Yet she worried that Nona might take advantage of the situation, so she answered it anyway."Hello?" said Celia in an indifferent voice."Are you awake? I'm at the dessert shop downstairs. They have a new menu today. Do you want to come down and try it together?Celia had no interest in accepting Nona's unusually enthusiastic invitation. She replied, "No, thanks.

"But what if it makes my sister hates Celia even more?" asked Ashley."There are so many people who dislike Celia. What difference does one more make?" said Nona.Ashley widened her eyes and said, "What do you mean?""Nothing."

In fact, she had recorded every single word Nona had said and saved it along with the surveillance footage on a USB drive.…Early the next morning, Nona received a subpoena from the court on her phone.Her eyes widened. The plaintiff's name was clearly written as "Celia Stanton".Celia had actually taken her to court!Nona sneered, surprised at how decisive Celia could be.

In fact, Yardley didn't tell anyone. … Meanwhile, Morgan stumbled upon a surprising find. She discovered two healthy, month-old babies at the orphanage.

"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.

Please come back another day."The next second, he instructed the housekeepers to close the door and left Otto standing outside.

"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.

"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.

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.
