Chapter 91 The Perfect Payback 4

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

Chapter 92 A Good Kid

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

Chapter 93 Nourishing Yardley's Member

"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.""

Chapter 94 Tell Me More About Candy

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

Chapter 95 I Look Like Candy

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

Chapter 96 Plagiarized

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

Chapter 97 Your Dinner

"What's that supposed to mean?" Shirley demanded in a rage-inflected tone. Her expression changed. How dare Celia mock her in front of everyone again!Celia said coolly, "It means what you think it means.""Don't try to lead everyone astray. The fact remains that you've committed plagiarism!" Shirley bellowed. It was as if she wanted the whole world to know about this. Only a few people knew about the "Flames of Ice" designs. Thanks to Shirley's screaming, the whole secretarial department knew about it. The other employees around them turned to look at Celia doubtfully. After all, Marilyn was a renowned designer, while Celia was nothing but a lowly secretary. Besides, Celia had come from the country. How could she know anything about jewelry design? She must've taken the risk and committed plagiarism to climb the ladder.Despite the questioning looks focused on her, Celia was still cool as a cucumber as she said, "Do you need anything else, Shirley? If not, please return to where yo

Chapter 98 Candy’s Also Afraid of the Dark

"Open it." Yardley smiled faintly. His voice had an unusual hint of tenderness.Celia opened the Thermos warily. The aroma of the food immediately wafted out—they were all her favorite dishes. "Where did you buy these from?" She breathed in deeply. She'd been so caught up in her work earlier that she'd completely forgotten about dinner. The smell of the food had awakened her appetite, and her stomach rumbled.Yardley glanced at her and said, "I made them." He knew she would've forgotten all about dinner after throwing herself into her work, so he'd headed home to cook dinner for her before bringing it to her.Celia's heart filled with warmth. She smiled and said, "Thanks!""Give them a go." He sat down beside her and watched as she dug in, his lips subconsciously curving into a tender smile."They taste pretty good," Celia praised while nodding. At this moment, her phone rang. It was Parker. Yardley's expression immediately darkened when he saw this. She glanced at him, then ignor

Chapter 99 Impressed by Celia

"Of course not!" Celia shoved Yardley away and said resolutely, "I already made myself clear when we were at the old Hughes estate. I'm not Candy, nor am I her replacement!"A trace of defeat flashed in Yardley's eyes as he nodded emotionlessly. "Let's head home."At the Charming Creatures Bar, Bruce had invited a few friends for drinks at the bar's private room. Annie followed him there and strode into the private room. "Bruce."He frowned slightly. "What are you doing here?""Why have you been avoiding me for the past few days?" She sat beside him, looking aggrieved. "You haven't been answering my calls, and you're always out when I try to catch you at the hotel.""We've already broken up," he said coldly."Don't do this, Bruce. Are you really gonna be this heartless?" She leaned into him, refusing to accept this. "Have you forgotten how happy we used to be? You said you'd love me for the rest of your life. You can't do this to me!"He pushed her away impatiently. "I'll say th

Chapter 100 Hughes Inc. Plagiarized Infatuation?

This was an exciting moment. Everyone waited expectantly for the press conference to start. Celia strode onstage confidently and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to wish you a good afternoon. Welcome to Hughes Inc.'s press conference for the launch of 'Flames of Ice'!"The guests applauded. Below the stage, a trace of jealousy flashed in Willow's eyes as she saw Celia carry herself with poise and elegance. Willow had pestered her brother to bring her to the press conference today, waiting for a chance to take Celia down at the celebratory party that night. Celia was in for it tonight!Onstage, Celia continued, "The 'Flames of Ice' series is Hughes Inc.'s flagship jewelry launch for the third quarter, and the main inspiration for the design is per its namesake—flames of ice. I'm sure you're all curious to know what that means, so let's take a look at the promotional video. You'll immediately understand what I mean." She gestured for one of the employees to play the video.I
