Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 89 The Perfect Payback 2
Sabrina was taken aback before quickly returning to her senses. There was hatred and disgust in her eyes. "Celia, you murderer! How dare you show up here?" All the reporters turned to look at Celia upon hearing her voice. In a blink of an eye, cameras were also aimed at her. Obviously, no one expected Celia to be here.Celia was torn apart on the Internet. Normally, wouldn't one hide when encountering such a situation? However, the reporters only felt things were getting interesting now that Celia was here. Getting the live footage of their confrontation would only attract more attention and views. Therefore, a reporter stepped forward and asked, "Ms. Stanton, Ms. Xanthos and Ms. Hughes told us what happened at Lover's Lake. They are accusing you of pushing Ms. Xanthos down the lake. What do you have to say regarding this matter?" Celia chuckled. "Quinn, did you really see me pushing Sabrina down the lake?" "Why would I lie? My classmate and I saw it." Quinn's tone was assertive.

"What are you talking about?" Sabrina bit her lip and dug her nails deep into her palms.Then, she glared at Celia, saying, "Don't put two different situations together! No matter what, it won't change the fact that you pushed me into Lover's Lake!""Sabrina Xanthos, you really won't give up until the end, huh?" Celia's gaze was cold. Finally, she took out what Anthony had sent to her. She clicked into the file and explained, "This was your browser history at that time. You searched for the keywords, 'how to secretly murder someone and make it seem like an accident and not be found.' What you frequently also searched for was, 'How to push someone into the water and cause a drowning incident'.""No! I didn't search for those things! You're slandering me." Panic flashed in Sabrina's eyes the moment she saw her browser history on Celia's phone. She remembered clearing her browsing history. How could Celia have gotten her hands on it? Where did she get it? So, Sabrina repeatedly comforte

Celia's heart skipped a beat as she mused, "Fiancee? Why is Yardley openly calling me his fiancee in front of all these reporters and their cameras? He's basically announcing it to the entire country …"His bold gesture touched her, but she quickly ignored the peculiar fluttering sensation in her chest and thought, "I can't let this get to me. Otherwise, I might warm up to him too much, and there's no telling if I'd be able to cut all ties with him after two months."Then, she asked in a subdued voice, "Why are you here?"Yardley tilted his head slightly toward her, allowing his gravelly voice to ring out only in her ears. "I said I'd never let anyone pick on you."In the eyes of others, the two's exchange seemed intimate—romantic even. Celia looked the other way, hiding the blush that crept up her neck.As for Quinn, she found the couple's actions glaring to watch. Many conflicting emotions came to a roaring boil in her stomach as she gnawed on the insides of her cheeks. She h

Quinn stiffened like a statue, then pursed her lips before bitterly muttering, "I might've been mistaken …"The video Yardley had asked Yannis to play had not only revealed the truth; it also exposed Quinn's lies. "Mistaken?" Celia sneered. "Even if that's true, isn't it too much of a coincidence that your entire group of classmates were mistaken too? If I recall correctly, giving a false testimony is a crime. You can end up with a short term detention in jail in minor cases, but if the law deems your actions as severely obstructing justice—""You're lying! Besides, I didn't give a false testimony; I was just mistaken," Quinn argued, wiping away all trails that led to her. Following that, she flashed a pair of poppy-dog eyes and pouted. "Say something, Yardley! Help me out!"All she got in response was a bland look from Yardley, who held Celia's hand while saying to the latter, "Let's go."The couple exited the ward and entered the elevator under Quinn's furious stare. A ding ran

"What's going on?" Yardley frowned. He had tacitly granted the media permission to release those articles. Thus, nobody could remove them without his approval. Not to mention, the search topic had garnered the highest online traffic in history. No media company would be dumb enough to remove their articles and lose the public's attention now. After briefly mulling over it, Yardley called Yannis into his office and instructed, "Find out who removed those trending articles. I want to know what happened.""Yes, sir." Yannis nodded politely. He had discovered the missing articles just moments ago and found the situation equally odd. After all, he couldn't think of anyone other than Hughes Inc., that could make the city's media outlets wipe out all those top search results and trending articles in such a short period.…Half an hour later, Celia received a text from Anthony.It read, "It's done, Ava."Satisfied, she replied, "I have full confidence that you handled the matter well.""

Yardley's familiar, manly scent permeated Celia's nostrils as she got trapped between him and the door. She paused, bones rattling beneath her skin. "Y-Your grandpa said so."Then, she heard his magnetic voice, lulling her into defeat as he arched a brow. "Oh? Is that right?" She didn't waste a second in nodding. "Yeah! Didn't your grandpa make you eat all those … nourishing dishes? Isn't he implying that your manhood is dysfunctional?""Stop bringing it up!" All at once, it was like a shadow cast over him. His insides rolled with so much anger that it showed in his piercing stare. On top of that, whatever his grandpa had put in the dishes made his blood boil violently in his veins, leaving him hot and bothered. He focused on the delicate woman in his arms, whose beauty resembled a rare flower in bloom, and he couldn't help wanting to claim her as his.Celia ran her tongue against her suddenly crusty, chapped lips. "I didn't say anyth—"Little did she know her trivial gesture wou

A sullen pause came from Yardley, who then opened his bedside drawer and took out a cigarette to light it. He held the cigarette between his slender fingers, allowing its smoke to circle them as a tiny crease formed between his eyebrows. Then, he allowed the fiery glow of his cigarette to run its course. Only after it burnt out could he bring himself to speak. "Candy was … She and I got kidnapped when we were children.""Kidnapped?" Celia frowned, recalling the former had asked whether she had gotten kidnapped several times. She often found his question absurd and borderline offensive, but now, she wondered, "Has Yardley mistaken me for Candy? Or is he intentionally regarding me as Candy's replacement to fill up a hole in his chest?"Yardley's gaze ran cold, and even his voice grew softer. "Our captors were targeting me, but Candy happened to pass by and got into trouble because of me. They locked us in a dark log cabin; it was so small that it felt like a room. Just like that, we hu

In truth, Celia should've expected this. If it were that easy, Yardley wouldn't have gone without any news on Candy for so many years. It was just perplexing, though. What had happened to Candy after falling off that cliff all those years ago? Some traces should've been left, whether she was dead or alive. How could she just have disappeared off the face of this earth? Celia couldn't figure this out and had no leads to work on. She could only put it aside for the time being.Over the next few days, she threw herself into her work and quickly wrapped up the outdoor shooting for "Flames of Ice". The press conference was in a matter of days—"Flames of Ice" would officially be launched on that day. Celia was confident she could make it a massive hit and allow Hughes Inc. to become a huge name in the jewelry industry. However, two days before the press conference, something untoward happened.Celia arrived at the company early that day and was making the final preparations for the press c

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
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 905 Fragile Babies
Sophie had failed to get Celia's forgiveness. So, she had no choice but to pin all her hopes on Morgan.She took all the supplements to Morgan's apartment. 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. Hence, Morgan said, "Celia isn't seeing anyone today. Please come back another time."To Morgan's surprise, her words ignited the anger that Quinn had been suppressing in her heart. The two quickly started arguing.Celia listened to their argument from her room. She regretted asking Morgan to handle Quinn. She had expected that Quinn would come looking for her
