Semua Bab Shh! Don't Let Him Know!: Bab 161 - Bab 170

Celia looked in the direction Nicole had indicated. A Rolls-Royce parked on the side of the road, looking particularly conspicuous and eye-catching. It was, without a doubt, Yardley's car. But why would he come here?As the sense of unease grew stronger in her heart, Celia's eyes narrowed. She turned to the taxi driver and hurriedly told him, "Could you please pull over ahead? Thank you!" "Alright." The driver soon pulled up beside Yardley's car. Before the taxi even came to a complete stop, Celia opened the door and got out of the car.Yardley's car was parked on the side of the road near the mountain's base. Celia peered into the car but found no one inside. Since his car was here, he must be nearby. Celia tried calling Yardley again, but his phone was still powered off. Nicole hurried over after paying the taxi driver. "Well?" she asked with concern. Celia shook her head. "There's no one in the car." Yardley's car was here, but he wasn't. Worry a

Celia stepped out of the taxi. Her beautiful face wore a cold expression. She walked straight down the red carpet toward the center of the banquet hall. Her feet felt as if they were made of lead; each step weighed her down.Otto hurriedly stood up and approached Celia. He asked with concern, "Cece, why are you here by yourself? Where's Yardley? Why isn't he with you?" Celia stopped in her tracks and replied flatly, "He won't be coming.""What?" Otto was taken aback. He had no idea what she meant by that. Why wouldn't Yardley be coming? Otto was curious about what had happened to him.He wanted to ask Celia what was going on. But she walked past him and continued forward with a determined look in her eyes.Everyone in the banquet hall sensed something was amiss with Celia. They couldn't help but whisper to each other. "What's going on?" "Why is the bride the only one here? Where's Mr. Hughes?""Tsk tsk. Could Mr. Hughes have had a last-minute change of heart about

This was supposed to be the most lively and grand engagement celebration in the world. But it had ended before it even began. Celia's heart ached as if it had been sledgehammered repeatedly."Celia Stanton, you wretch! Are you happy now that you've jeopardized Grandpa's life?“ Quinn pointed a finger at Celia and scolded her.Lillian also joined in. "Celia Stanton, if anything happens to Dad, we won't let you off the hook!" She raised her hand and attempted to slap Celia. Celia's gaze turned cold as she grabbed Lillian's hand and pushed her. "I'm also deeply saddened that Grandpa Hughes had a heart attack. But do you dare say that you bear no responsibility for his illness? Who was it that kept saying things to provoke him just now?" "How dare you twist the facts?" Quin hurriedly supported Lillian. "Aunt Lillian, are you okay?" The reporters surrounded Celia and bombarded her with questions. "Ms. Stanton, what are your thoughts on Mr. Hughes Senior's illness?"

Celia yanked her arm away and glanced at Quinn coldly. "Quinn Hughes, drop your nasty behavior! I didn't come here to argue with you today. I just want to see Grandpa Hughes." "Aunt Lillian, look at Celia! She's cursing at me!" Quinn tugged at Lillian's hand pitifully.Lillian frowned and raised her voice. "Listen here, Celia Stanton. Our family has nothing to do with you. Don't even think about bothering Yardley again! You're not welcome here. Leave!""Could you please step aside?" Celia just wanted to see Otto as soon as possible and didn't want to waste her breath arguing with them. She pushed past Lillian and walked straight ahead.Lillian rushed over and barked at the security guards as Celia was about to reach the door of the room. "What are you guys waiting for? Why haven't you driven her away yet? She's not allowed to come over here again in the future!"The bodyguards exchanged a glance and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ms. Stanton, please leave." Celia gl

"What kind of person is he?" Yardley inquired as he narrowed his eyes.Dr. Nero glanced at Otto's electrocardiogram monitor.Then, he said, "Dr. Fletcher used to be renowned for his skills in traditional Eldorian medicine. He is an exceptional doctor, and he cured a lot of terminally ill patients. However, something happened 20 years ago, and he disappeared.""He disappeared?"Yardley's expression hardened, and his tone became urgent. "Where is he now?" Dr. Nero sighed and shook his head. "I don't know. Or perhaps I should say that no one knows." Yardley's initial ray of hope instantly faded. He pressed his thin lips tightly together. He remained silent for a moment before asking, "What happened 20 years ago?"Dr. Nero sighed softly. "I don't know the specifics of what happened. I only heard from my mentor that whatever happened had a huge impact on him. "Dr. Fletcher disappeared after that incident. Since then, a lot of people have tried to find him, but to no av
