Chapter 111 Challenge His Limits

The music was blaring, and everyone was having a great time on the dance floor. No one noticed the commotion in the corner of the bar.The man in the red shirt was a notorious ruffian named Ian. He frequented the bar to pursue women. So far, he'd gotten every woman he'd set his sights on.Ian had been determined to get his hands on Celia since he'd first laid eyes on her. He thought he could thoroughly enjoy himself that night. He hadn't expected Celia to smash a bottle on his head, though. Ian lost it as pain surged through his head. He called out to his henchmen, who were nearby. "What are you guys waiting for? Get your asses over here!" Several burly men immediately surrounded Celia. "Catch her!" Ian held his head and stared menacingly at Celia. "How dare you hit me, you audacious bitch? I'll make you pay tonight!"Celia frowned, but she remained calm and composed. There were four people in total, including Ian. She probably had a fair shot at dealing with this group o

Chapter 112 You're the Best Antidote

"Don't move, Celia!" Yardley's tone was stern. He took a few deep breaths to suppress his desire. He used one hand to restrain Celia's restless hand, which was touching his body. Then, he used his other hand to take out his phone and call Maxon. "Get over here, Maxon."Maxon was sleeping soundly when the ringing of his phone woke him up. He answered the call groggily. "Do you know what time it is right now? I was already asleep.""Stop yapping and get over here!" Yardley urged.Maxon put on his clothes and said in resignation, "Alright, alright. Where are you? Send me the address."Yardley hung up and sent Maxon his location."Hold on, Celia. The doctor will be here soon." Yardley removed his suit and wrapped Celia in it.Celia became restless again. "It's hot …" She reached out to remove Yardley's clothes, but he held onto her hands tightly, rendering her immobile.Celia licked her dry lips and writhed uncomfortably. She murmured incessantly, "Yardley, let go of me … I feel

Chapter 113 Because of You

"Last night? What happened last night?" Celia looked at Yardley suspiciously. She rubbed her temples and slowly regained consciousness. Then, it hit her. Last night, she had made plans to meet Nicole at the bar for drinks. She'd ended up encountering that thug, Ian. Then, she had been drugged.Yardley had appeared later and whisked her away. Celia remembered that she was burning up all over at that moment before she lost consciousness. Things between Yardley and her seemed to have gone further. At that thought, Celia hurriedly checked herself. Fortunately, there was nothing out of the ordinary. Celia still felt a little uneasy, so she asked, "You … didn't do anything last night, did you?" Yardley arched his brow as he observed the woman's nervous demeanor. "What's the matter? Do you want me to do something?""Of course not!" Celia glared at him before breathing a sigh of relief. She felt somewhat fortunate that she had encountered Yardley last night and that he was st

Chapter 115 Radioactive Elements

Celia followed the security guard to the entrance, where a crowd had gathered. There were also a lot of reporters with cameras and microphones.A man pointed at her when Celia arrived. He exclaimed loudly, "That's her! I've seen her on TV. She's Celia Stanton, the head of the Flames of Ice project."A group of people gathered around Celia. "What's going on?" she inquired with a frown.Reporters scrambled to interview her one after another. "Someone has revealed that the materials in your Flames of Ice series are subpar and contain radioactive elements. What are your thoughts on this, Ms. Stanton?""Ms. Stanton, is it true that Hughes Inc. cut corners and used materials containing radioactive elements to save costs? This resulted in people being poisoned after wearing the Flames of Ice jewelry?" Celia took a deep breath as she was bombarded with questions. Radioactive elements in the Flames of Ice jewelry? How was that even possible? Hughes Inc. had very strict protocols about i

Chapter 116 Must Dismiss Celia

There was an uproar when the news about Hughes Inc.'s jewelry containing radioactive elements spread on social media. Soon, it was trending online. "Mr. Hughes, should we consider getting someone to suppress the news?" Yannis inquired. "No, that won't be necessary." Yardley rubbed his temples."The news has already spread. If we were to have the media retract the news and suppress the matter now, people will think we have a guilty conscience." Yannis nodded. "Alright, Mr. Hughes. I understand.""The most important thing right now is uncovering the truth about the radioactive element poisoning," Yardley said with a frown.A string of poisoning incidents had been linked to Flames of Ice. Public outrage had a negative impact on Hughes Inc. "Alright, I'll have someone look into it immediately. We'll get to the bottom of it as soon as possible," Yannis said solemnly. Celia had ordered all Flames of Ice sales to halt. All the products were to undergo testing. Yannis' i

Chapter 117 The Issue Originated in Frestas

Yardley's expression darkened. He arched his brow as he asked, "The factory in Festras?""Yes." Celia nodded. Frowning, she continued, "The results just came in. Some of the jewelry manufactured there contains radioactive elements."He rubbed his temples and said coldly, "We've overlooked the factory. In Festras. It appears that someone took advantage of the situation and tampered with things."Celia's mind raced as she thought about it. Compared to the headquarters, the management at Festras' factory was much more lax. Since Festras was far away and not strictly monitored, it was easier to get away with meddling. She spoke up again. "We need to look into it immediately and find out at what stage the radioactive elements were introduced. In theory, it shouldn't be that easy to tamper with our products, even at the factory in Festras. It's highly likely that we have a mole within our company." Yardley narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I'll have someone look into it immedi

Chapter 118 Feed Me the Medicine

Jordan was annoyed that Yardley didn't show him any respect. However, he couldn't show it in front of Yardley. Hence, he only frowned and said, "Yardley, both your mother and I are only acting in the company's best interests. We hope you won't regret it."Yardley snorted and didn't say another word. He pursed his lips, staring at Jordan as he left. He had always respected Jordan, but he was finding it increasingly difficult to understand him now.Meanwhile, Celia returned to her desk. She urged the person in charge of overseeing the jewelry testing at the Ashvale headquarters to send her the test results.She got them half an hour later. As expected, the Flames of Ice jewelry produced at the headquarters had no issues. Celia breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the issue had originated in Festras.Celia hastily organized the documents and went to hand them over to Yardley. These materials were crucial for the afternoon press conference. As she reached Yardley's office,

Chapter 119 Press Conference

Willow walked up to Yardley's side and gave Celia a jealous glare. Then, she looked at Yardley's handsome face adoringly. "Yardley, I saw the news. Hughes Inc. has been facing difficulties lately. If you need any help, Xanders Group can—" "I don't need it!" Yardley cut her off before she could finish her sentence.The smile on Willow's face dropped. "But I've been following the news. Hughes Inc.'s stock price has dropped significantly because of the Flames of Ice controversy. It might help you if the collaboration between Hughes Inc. and Xanders Group is finalized as soon as possible. Your stock price would usually rise then.""Oh? Do you think Hughes Inc. needs to rely on Xanders Group to increase its stock price?" Yardley smiled wryly.His chilly demeanor was palpable. Willow bit her lip before mumbling, "That's not what I meant, Yardley. I just wanted to help you …""I don't need it." Yardley's expression was as cold as ice. He said, "I have work to do. Please leave."

Chapter 120 The Issue Lies With Factory One

Celia was packing her belongings that night when she heard a coughing fit. She looked up to see Yardley standing at her door. He leaned against the doorframe and was dressed in a white robe. It softened his demeanor and added a touch of laziness. This version of Yardley left her momentarily stunned. He chuckled when he noticed her gaze on him. "Do I look good?"Celia snapped back to reality and cleared her throat. "When did you come over?" Yardley straightened his tall and slender figure and walked toward her. "Are you done packing?" "Yeah." Celia nodded. There wasn't much to pack—just the daily necessities. "Get up early tomorrow," he reminded her. "Alright." She placed her in her suitcase and closed it. Yardley's phone rang at that moment. He glanced at it to see that it was a call from Jones Levine. Jones was the person in charge of the Festras branch. "What's the matter, Jones?"Jone's voice came through the line. "Mr. Hughes, we've traced that b
