Chapter 121 I Thought I Was Going to Die

Upon hearing that Celia wanted to leave, Yardley's face fell. Was she leaving because of his mother's words earlier? Or was there something else?"Celia, my mother is like that. Don't take what she says to heart." He walked over to Celia and put a hand on her shoulder to stop her from leaving. His gaze was deep and carried a hint of an unusual emotion. His voice was low and husky."Trust me. I'll handle things on my mother's end. She won't trouble you again."As her eyes met Yardley's profound gaze, Celia's heart skipped a beat. She took a step back and smiled. Then, she changed the topic. "Let's not dwell on this. We should get going. If we don't leave now, we'll be late."Yardley's eyes regained their usual indifference. His thin lips parted slightly as he said, "Let's go."Yardley and Celia arrived at the airport. They stopped in front of a Boeing aircraft."Is this your plane?" Celia examined the luxurious plane before her. On one of her birthdays, Barnaby had wanted

Chapter 122 Sudden Explosion

"Let's go." Yardley's gaze turned cold as he glanced at Jones, signaling him to lead the way.Soon, the group arrived at Factory One."Who's in charge of procuring the raw material?" Yardley asked. He flipped through the documents that had been handed to him.Jones replied, "It's Angie. She's responsible for the centralized procurement of all the raw materials in Festras."Frowning, Celia looked over at Jones."So, you mean she procures everything for all the factories here? If it's an issue with procurement, why is Factory One the only one affected?""Angie has been with the company for a long time. She has been handling procurement all along. It's unlikely this is her fault," Jones answered. He pursed his lips, sounding somewhat dismissive.Celia nodded and said, "Where is Angie? I'd like to meet her."Jones made a call right away. "Angie, come to my office."Ten minutes later, a woman who seemed to be in her 40s appeared. She had wavy hair and a bit of extra weight.Jo

Chapter 123 Please Be Okay

Celia prayed hard that Yardley was okay. Gritting her teeth, she endured the pain and got out of bed. She needed to find Yardley. She had to see him in person to make sure he was safe and sound."You're awake, Ms. Stanton." Just then, Jones walked in.Celia's tensed emotions eased a little bit upon seeing him. "Jones, it's great that you're okay. Where's Yardley? Have you seen him?"Jones glanced at Celia. He hesitated a little before saying, "Mr. Hughes is—""How is he?" Celia pressed for an answer impatiently. Her voice was anxious and panicked."He's injured. They're giving him emergency treatment," Jones answered with a sigh.He then added, "Mr. Hughes' injuries are serious."A loud buzzing sound filled Celia's head. Her mind went blank.Yardley was seriously injured and in emergency treatment because of her. The terrifying scene of the warehouse exploding kept flashing in Celia's mind. If Yardley hadn't shielded her, he wouldn't have gotten hurt to this extent."Whe

Chapter 124 Jones Seems Suspicious

"Alright, Ms. Stanton," Jones readily agreed.After Jones left, Celia returned to the room. Looking at Yardley lying on the bed, a wave of bitterness surged in her heart. She pulled the blanket over him. Then, she held Yardley's hand and prayed that he would be okay.The ticking of the clock pounded on Celia's head, causing a dull ache. Each second felt like a century.As the night went on, Celia remained at Yardley's bedside. She couldn't sleep. Unprecedented anxiety spread through every cell in her body.In the middle of the night, Celia heard a knock on the door. She thought it might be a doctor making the rounds. When she opened the door, she was surprised to see that it was Yannis.He was accompanied by several bodyguards, who stood guard outside the room."Mr. Lynch, why are you here?" Celia asked.She had thought he was in Eldoria.Yannis walked in and glanced at Yardley. "I rushed over as soon as I received the news. How is Mr. Hughes?" His tone carried a hint of

Chapter 125 Will You Marry Me?

Feeling impatient, Celia said, "I want to go in and see Yardley.""Mr. Lynch said that no one could enter without his orders," the guard replied with a troubled expression.They knew that Celia was Yardley's fiancée. But since Yannis had given the instructions, they stopped her from entering.After a moment of consideration, Celia dialed Yannis' number.Hearing his phone ring, Yannis glanced down and saw that it was Celia calling. He answered the call but put it on speaker mode."Ms. Stanton, is there something you need?" Yannis asked.With a voice full of concern and anxiety, Celia asked, "Has Yardley woken up?""No," Yannis replied while glancing down at the relaxed Yardley.Upon hearing that, a pang of disappointment hit Celia. She bit her lip and said, "I'm still worried about Yardley. Can I go in and see him?"Yardley heard every word of Celia's request.The corners of his lips curved up into a mysterious smile. He was secretly delighted that Celia cared for him so much.

Yardley's intense and unfathomable gaze remained fixed on Celia's face. His husky voice lingered in her ear.Celia's breath caught for a moment. Then, she raised her eyes to meet his profound gaze. With a smirk, she said, "I don't know what you're talking about."Yardley smiled in return. "I heard every word you said just now.""What did I say? What did you hear?" Celia felt a bit embarrassed and annoyed. She gave Yardley an angry glare.This sly man had pretended to be unconscious and fooled her! If she'd known, she wouldn't have been so worried about him.Yardley reached out for Celia's hand and placed it in his palm. He covered his other hand on top, enveloping Celia's hand completely."You said you'd do anything for me once I woke up. Well, I'm awake now. So, are you willing to marry me?" Yardley asked in a deep tone.The warmth of Yardley's touch spread through Celia's hand. It reached her heart, making it flutter."Is this your way of proposing to me?" Celia pursed her li

Chapter 127 What Is the Truth?

"Has Yannis found anything?" Celia asked, observing Yardley's confident look.Yardley leaned back and said, "They're still investigating. We'll have results soon.""We must find evidence before Jones holds the press conference. Otherwise, the situation will be unfavorable for us," Celia reminded.Yardley smiled and cast a sidelong glance at Celia. "Don't worry, I've got it under control. Jones won't be causing trouble for long."Yardley's calm smile brought her a sense of relief. Anthony's investigation would yield results soon too. When the time came, they would expose Jones.Meanwhile, the public made wild guesses about the explosion. Everyone was looking forward to the press conference. They wanted to know the truth behind the radioactive substances and the explosion.The press conference took place in the conference hall of a luxurious hotel in Festras. Celia arrived early and took an inconspicuous seat in a corner.She sent a text message to Anthony. "Did you find what

Chapter 128 Phone Recording

"Of course," Jones replied. He stared at Celia as if he were provoking her. Then, his expression turned grave as he made a solemn declaration."I should have concluded today's press conference after delivering the official statement to the public. But I don't want to go against my conscience. So, I've chosen to reveal the truth.""Conscience? I think you don't have one." Celia retorted. Her lips curled into a sarcastic smile.Seeing Celia's response, the reporters surrounded her and bombarded her with questions."Ms. Stanton, is what Mr. Levine said true?""Did Hughes Incorporated use subpar materials to make more profit?""Are those two warehouse supervisors innocent scapegoats?""The situation escalated beyond expectations. Did Hughes Incorporated orchestrate this explosion to cover things up?"Celia smiled and remained composed. Then, she stated, "Of course not. Every word Mr. Levine said is false. He made it all up to tarnish our company's reputation."A reporter aimed

Chapter 129 For Marilyn

Jones clenched his fists tightly.He took a deep breath. With a sullen face, he said, "Why would I bother with such a pointless analysis?""Oh, are you afraid?" Celia smirked. She was confident that Jones wouldn't dare undergo the analysis.Jones chuckled drily and replied, "This recording proves nothing at all!""Proves nothing? If the voice in the recording isn't yours, why are you hesitant to do a voiceprint analysis? Can I take it that you're feeling guilty?" Celia mocked.Faced with Celia's string of questions, Jones started to give evasive answers. "Ms. Stanton, you're making defamatory remarks. As the head of the Festras branch, why would I do all this? What benefit do I gain from tampering with the raw materials? Placing a bomb and detonating it is even more absurd!""Indeed. As the head of Hugh Incorporated's Festras branch, why would you do such things?" Celia muttered to herself pensively.She frowned and narrowed her eyes while saying, "You did all this because—"

Chapter 130 The Art of Flirting

Faced with Yardley's stern question, Jones' expression soured. His face paled, and his brain seemed to have stopped working.How did Yardley get this video?Jones could have found excuses to deny the previous audio recording. But he had absolutely no way of discrediting this video. It clearly showed him and Marilyn in it.Putting two and two together, everyone had a rough idea of what was going on."Who would've thought that Jones Levine was the mole?""For his own selfish desires, he disregarded consumers' interests. He even plotted an explosion, for crying out loud! He's not human!""Marilyn isn't any better. Not only did she plagiarize, but she also manipulated Jones to frame Hughes Incorporated!"The crowd hurled a torrent of insults and accusations at Jones. He wiped the cold sweat off his brow and tried to defend himself. "It's fake! It's all fake! You're all accusing me wrongfully!"A sharp glint flashed in Celia's eyes."Fake? Are you saying that both my recording an
