Chapter 131 Are We Meant to Be?

"The Art of Flirting"? What on earth?Yardley cast a cold glance at Yannis. He grimaced and said in disdain, "How distasteful!"Even though he seemed to disapprove, he still accepted the book.Trailing behind Yardley, Yannis respectfully said, "Mr. Hughes, I'll be returning to Ashvale tomorrow."Yardley nodded. He responded with an indifferent expression, "Contact me if there's anything."He had great confidence in Yannis' abilities. With Yannis overseeing the company for the past few days, Yardley had only needed to give remote instructions.After Yannis left, Yardley sat on the couch. Leaning against the cushion with his legs crossed, he held the book in his hand. Then, he began reading it in earnest.…Celia had a good night's sleep and woke up late the next morning.

Chapter 133 More Than Friends

Yardley fell silent. He lowered his gaze and fidgeted with the umbrella in his hand with a neutral expression.His silence was the best answer.Celia's heart sank. A sense of bitterness spread through her.Silence and awkwardness filled the confined space as the Ferris wheel began to descend slowly. When it was about to stop, Yardley suddenly raised his head.With a deep gaze, he said to Celia with utmost seriousness, "Candy is someone from the past. Right now, in this moment, the woman I want to spend my life with is you."His words reached Celia's ears like a divine melody. Her heart pounded wildly in response.She bit her lip and asked, "Really?"Yardley nodded with an expectant look in his eyes. "Yeah. So ... Do you think you can give me an answer ahead of time?""No, I can't," Celia answered with amusement. She looked at Yardley with a playful smile. "I said two months. So, ask me again in two months' time."Celia hadn't expected Yardley to give an answer. Even though h

Chapter 134 Substitute for Nobody

Upon entering the room, Celia impatiently let go of Yardley's hand. "What did Willow want with you at such a late hour?""Didn't you see it all?" Yardley asked with a chuckle."It's so late. Yet she suggested you both discuss a collaboration in your room. You and her alone …" Celia said, sounding a little displeased.Willow's intentions toward Yardley were clear to everyone.Although Yardley hadn't paid attention to Willow just now, Celia still felt uncomfortable seeing her try to seduce him."Are you jealous?" Yardley sat down on the couch gracefully. He looked at Celia with an amused smile.Celia tossed the suit jacket in her hand at Yardley in irritation. "As if! Here's your jacket."With that, she turned around without looking back and left.The next moment, a large hand caught her by the waist.

Chapter 135 Celia Has Fallen for Yardley

"What's going on, Annie?" Willow asked, feigning concern.Annie felt a little embarrassed. She tugged at her dress but was unable to hide anything. So she could only smile awkwardly and say, "I fell by accident."Willow didn't call her bluff. Instead, she pretended to be kind and said, "Oh, I see. Why don't you come to my room? I have some ointment. Those bruises from your fall might leave scars if they're not treated properly.""That's really kind of you, Ms. Xanders," Annie replied. The torment Yoseph had put her through had left her body sore and exhausted. She needed some relief.Willow led Annie into her room and handed her the ointment."Thank you." Annie felt grateful."How are things between you and Bruce?" Willow asked, pretending to be clueless.At the mention of Bruce, Annie's eyes dimmed. Her voice was sad and resentful as she replied, "We broke up.""What? Why did you break up? Was it because of what happened at the banquet?" Willow casually brought up the scandal.

She'd dealt a decisive blow to Marilyn when Hughes Inc. was embroiled in that plagiarism controversy. Annie was curious about her relationship with Celia.

Chapter 137 The Woman I Love the Most

Was Willow seriously planning to go against Celia?Celia looked at Willow intently. She was just about to raise her hand again when a man's voice sounded from the entrance of the auction hall. "30 million dollars!" 30 million dollars! The audience in the auction hall whipped themselves into a frenzy when someone added a whole 10 million dollars. Hearing the familiar voice, Celia frowned and looked toward the entrance. Yardley's tall figure came into view.He was dressed in a well-fitted suit paired with a dark green tie, exuding nobility and elegance. He walked into the banquet hall with steady strides. Celia's breath hitched in her throat. Why was Yardley here?Reporters swarmed over in the blink of an eye. "Mr. Hughes, how'd you find the time to attend tonight's charity auction?" Yardley replied apathetically, "I'm just doing my part for charity." "Mr. Hughes, what—"The reporter wanted to ask more questions, but Yardley waved his hand to indicate that h

Chapter 138 Your Time Is Up

"It's true. Celia is nothing but a flirt. She seduces men left and right everywhere she goes. She doesn't deserve you."Willow continued to speak poorly of Celia. "She had a fling with Parker, a thing with Norman, and now she's even gone to a bar in the dead of the night to flirt with men while she's in Festras. Yardley, she's cheating on you behind your back. Why don't you get it?""Shut up." Yardley yanked his tie in frustration in response to Willow's incessant chatter. He raised his hand to check his wristwatch. He was perplexed as to why Celia hadn't returned yet, despite having been in the restroom for quite some time. He was afraid that she might have left in anger. He picked up his phone and called Celia, but her phone was turned off. Yardley stood up and walked toward the restroom, slightly concerned. "Yardley, where are you going?" Willow inquired. However, he completely ignored her. She stood up and hurriedly followed after him. Her eyes

Chapter 139 As Long as You're Fine

Yardley knocked on the door, but the restroom was locked from the inside."Celia, are you in there? What's going on?"There was no response. Worried about Celia's safety, he forcefully pushed the door open.As soon as the door swung open, Yardley noticed two Festrasian men lying on the ground. Their faces were pale and contorted in pain. Celia, on the other hand, had her arms crossed across her chest. She was looking down at Annie, who had fallen to the ground. "What happened here, Celia?" He walked over to her.He was puzzled. He thought Celia was being bullied. He hadn't expected to see such a scene. Celia turned around and said casually, "Oh, it's nothing." "What happened to your neck?" Yardley frowned as his gaze landed on Celia's neck.Annie had left a red scratch mark on Celia's neck from where she'd pressed the knife. It was a very fine line that no one would notice unless they looked closely. Celia hadn't noticed it at first, but she felt a slight st

Chapter 140 Out of Control

Celia didn't know what to feel at that moment.She looked up at the man in front of her. Her heart skipped a beat as their eyes met. "Thank you." Celia reached out and took the plush cat. The cat's fur was stained with Yardley's fresh blood. Its original white fur had turned dark red in certain places. Yardley chuckled when she took the plush cat."Feeling better?"He reached out and pulled Celia into his arms. He whispered into her ear, "I meant every word I said to you yesterday. Trust me, okay?"Celia plastered a smile on her face but didn't respond. Instead, she gently pushed him away. "Let go of me first." "You smiled! Does that mean you're not angry anymore?" he asked. "Does it matter if I'm angry or not?" Celia stroked the plush cat in her hand gently. "It matters a lot," he answered solemnly as he looked into her eyes. She pursed her lips and remained silent. After a while, he asked, "What happened in the restroom just now?""Oh, nothing muc
