After getting Yardley's approval, the lighting designer did as told. He walked to the light switch and turned it on. First, he shone a cold light on the diamond buttons behind Annie's dress. With that, the buttons showed a snow-white shine.

Then, the lighting designer changed it to a red light, turning the buttons red and making them look like flames dancing on the dress.

"The color really does change!" The crowd was astonished.

Celia smiled. "Everyone saw it, right? The diamond button is layered with a special substance, so it'll change color depending on the light source."

Then, she held Annie's hand tightly and told the lighting designer. "Okay, please shine the light on Annie's hands."

Annie felt her mind go blank, and her hand trembled. It turned out Celia wasn't lying. The substance would change with different lighting, so what could she do now? Annie tried to struggle, but Celia held her hand tightly.

The lighting designer shone the light onto Annie's hand, and when he chang

    "That's right." Celia nodded.Then, she said in a righteous manner, "As an ambassador, you have to be aware of your character. Hughes Inc. will not invite a problematic person to represent our company. So, on behalf of Hughes Inc., I propose terminating the contract with you formally." "No. You're not qualified to terminate the contract with me." Annie looked at Bruce pitifully, hoping he would help her out."Honey, help me out. You know it's my wish to become Hughes Inc.'s ambassador. You promised me, so you have to fulfill my wish." Annie could only hope for Bruce now.Bruce was furious to see how unrepentant Annie was. In a serious tone, he said, "I'd already gotten the opportunity for you. However, your actions were really shameful. You did this to yourself, and I can't help you with this." After that, Bruce left the studio. He didn't wish to see Annie anymore."Please listen to me. I didn't mean it." Annie chased him, seeing how angry he was. However, Celia stopped her. "Ms. L

    Under everyone's shocked gaze, Celia took the dress and removed all the buttons at the back. No one could guess what she was doing. Why did she take all the buttons off? Wouldn't it ruin the dress?After that, Celia put the buttons all together again and prepared the needle and thread before quickly sewing everything in place. The crowd was shocked to see how skilled she was. Yardley stared at her with intrigue. His fiancee from the countryside would constantly surprise him. Everyone knew that this dress was custom-made from Leo's design studio. If Celia wasn't confident with her skills, how could she brazenly remove the buttons and sew them back again?In the end, Celia only took five minutes to finish sewing the buttons. All nine buttons were perfectly lined up in a row, looking brand new."Done." Celia put away the needle and thread back into the box. Suddenly, Yardley walked toward her, raised his chin, and whispered, "So you can sew as well?" Celia packed the sewing supplies aw

    "Take this first." Willow took out a wad of cash from her bag and gave it to Sabrina."If you succeed this time, I'll make sure you get to go back to Hughes Inc.!""Really?" Sabrina's eyes lit up with anticipation.Willow nodded. "Of course. Celia spends most of her time with Yardley, but with her gone, Yardley will be reminded of what you've done for the company in the past. After all, you've worked for Hughes Inc. for so many years. Even if you weren't spectacular, you put your heart and soul into the company. I'll also help you out and tell Yardley about how hardworking you are. Do you think he won't take you back?""You're right." Sabrina took the money.Then, she gritted her teeth, saying, "Ms. Xanders, leave this to me. After tomorrow, Celia won't exist in this world!"The hatred in her heart was raging, and she couldn't wait to kill Celia. She was willing to do anything to get revenge!"Great." Willow smiled.However, she thought, "Shameless bitch. I have my ways of dealing with

    Willow was taken aback but quickly flashed a coquettish smile. Embarrassed, she said, "Yes, I'm Candy. Yardley, I'm your Candy!"Yardley rubbed his forehead, feeling drunk and uncomfortable. Was Candy really here? Was it really her?"You're drunk. Let me send you back." Willow leaned down and pulled him up with all her might."Candy, is it really you? Are you real?" Yardley staggered and leaned on Willow, sounding surprised. Did she finally return to him after they had been apart for years? "Yes, it's me." Willow looked at Yardley with affection. This was her first time being so close to him. His tall body and perfect features were charming even when he was drunk. Willow extended her cold hand to touch his face. This was the man she had loved deeply for years. He had always been cold to her in the past, and now she had the chance to be intimate with him. However, Yardley had mistaken her for another woman."Candy, why have you changed?" Although Willow had said she was Candy, Yardley

    Celia was taken aback. Why did a woman answer Yardley's phone? Moreover, the voice sounded familiar. It sounded like Willow. But how could that be possible? Celia knew Yardley hated Willow. Could it be Candy?Suppressing all the thoughts in her head, Celia asked, "Can I speak to Yardley?" "Celia, right?" Willow smirked and said provocatively, "It's Willow here, and Yardley's showering in my room."She was right. It was indeed Willow. Immediately, Celia felt depressed. It turned out Yardley was with Willow, so he was late. And he was even taking a shower in her room …"Celia, is there anything you need from Yardley? He might not be free to take your call because we're going to spend a romantic and unforgettable night together. He told me he loved me deeply—" Before Willow finished, Celia ended her call. Willow smirked when she heard the beep."Celia, tomorrow will be the day you die!" Willow thought, feeling extremely satisfied to finally anger the thorn in her side before killing her.

    Celia titled her body and agilely dodged her attack. "Sabrina Xanthos! What are you doing?" Celia pursed her lips, looking at Sabrina, who looked resentful.Why was Sabrina here? Last time, she'd tried to hurt her with a knife, and now she was trying to push her into the lake. Why did it feel like Sabrina had a deep resentment toward her and wanted her dead? Since Sabrina's attempt failed, the anger in her heart intensified. Glaring at Celia, she said, "Celia, you bitch! Because of you, Yardley kicked me out of the company, and I was even banned by other companies, causing me to be unemployed. I won't forgive you! On the same day next year, it'll be your death anniversary!" Celia smirked. "Sabrina, that's enough. No one framed you. Why would you be kicked out if you didn't plan to harm me or did something against the company's interests?"It felt so ironic that everyone liked to put the blame on her instead of reflecting on their own actions.

Knowing that Timothy was her crazy pursuer, Quinn brought him here so that she could deal with Celia without fail, and now he could be of use.Timothy had admired Quinn for a long time, so he nodded the second Quinn gave him the order. He quickly walked to Celia and blocked her way. "Celia, right? How dare you escape after killing someone?"Celia was speechless. She frowned and looked at the lake. "There's still a chance to save Sabrina's life if we get her out of the lake now. If you stop me, she'll really be dead. Tell me who the real murderer will be then." Although Celia didn't yell, she had a powerful demeanor, which shocked Timothy. Subconsciously, he was about to make way. However, Quinn sneered and stopped him. "Timothy, don't listen to her. We both saw what happened. It was Celia who pushed Sabrina into the lake. If anything happens

    The sirens of the police car were getting closer, and they soon reached Lover's Lake. Then, two officers came down from the car. Quinn rushed over and pointed at Celia. "It's her! She was the one who pushed Sabrina into Lover's Lake." Following the direction she pointed, the police saw Celia kneeling on the ground, focused on giving Sabrina CPR."I'll go have a look." The older police officer said."Okay. Captain Wallace." The female police officer nodded and followed behind."What's going on?" Captain Wallace looked at Sabrina on the ground and asked."She fell into the lake and drowned—" Before Parker could finish, Quinn interrupted, "Sabrina didn't fall into the lake. It was Celia Stanton who pushed her in. I saw it with my own eyes. So did my classmate." After that, she looked at Timothy. Instantly, he understood and walked forward, saying, "Yes. I saw it too. We can be the witnesses." The police exchanged glances before Captain Wallace said, "Is that so?""Of course not." Par

    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?"

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?"

    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.
