Chapter 21 Counterattack

"That's my ring!" Willow exclaimed before looking at Celia with disdain. "So, it was you who stole it, Celia Stanton! What do you have to say now that you've been caught red-handed, and we have both witnesses and evidence?"Celia seemed unfazed when she discovered that the diamond ring was inside her handbag. She had seen this coming. Celia was certain that the ring was in her bag the moment that waitress accused her. She had been framed, and it was evident that Willow was the mastermind. "Celia, if you had returned the diamond ring to me and apologized earlier, I could have let it go and move on." Willow's demeanor became as gentle as a lamb, a stark contrast to the arrogant demeanor she had displayed moments ago.Needless to say, she had caught a glimpse of the tall and imposing figure she had admired from the corner of her eye. It was as if she had turned into a completely different person. "You're too kind, Willow. We shouldn't let thieves like Celia off the hook! We

Chapter 22 Proving Her Innocence

The forensic scientist obtained the test results in no time. He cleared his throat. "According to the results of our analysis, Ms. Stanton's fingerprints are indeed on the ring."Celia's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't figure out how her fingerprints were on that ring. After all, she hadn't touched that ring. Yardley was the one who called the cops here, so he shouldn't have been bribed by Willow. Hence, the only plausible explanation was that Willow took her fingerprints when she wasn't paying attention."Celia, the test results have also confirmed that you stole my ring. What else do you have to say for yourself?" Willow's lips curled into a triumphant smile. She then pointed to Celia. "Officer, she stole my ring. Please take her away and handle this matter impartially." "Celia, did you actually steal Willow's ring?" Yardley inquired. Despite all the evidence pointing toward Celia, he felt that there was more than meets the eye. Although he had only known Celia for a

Chapter 23 Apologize to Me

"How did my ring end up in Celia's bag if you were the one who stole it?" Willow inquired as she tried to steer clear of this mess."I had planned to take the ring with me when I get off work, but I didn't expect Ms. Xanders to catch on so quickly. She even had security search the vicinity. I was afraid of being caught, so I hid the ring in Ms. Stanton's bag when no one was looking." The waitress' face was as pale as a ghost. "Please forgive me. I really didn't mean to. My mother is terminally ill and urgently needs money for surgery. That's why I made the wrong decision in the heat of the moment."Celia frowned and asked solemnly, "Who instructed you to do this?" "No one instructed me. It was my own idea." The waitress' voice was slightly shaky, and her fearful gaze remained fixed on Willow.Willow bit her lip. "Forget it. I'm not going to press charges anymore now that I've recovered the ring. Besides, you did it out of love for your mother." "T-Thank you, Ms. Xanders!" The

Chapter 24 Dropped Something

Yardley had appeared in front of Celia, seemingly out of nowhere. He was wearing nothing but a white bathrobe that revealed his well-defined eight-pack abs. His chiseled jaw was clenched due to the slight pain from being bumped on the chin. Water droplets glistened at the tips of his wet hair, which clung to his head. Celia fell into a daze. She had to admit that this man certainly was handsome. "Are you done gawking?" Yardley asked when he noticed Celia lost in thought while staring at him."When did you get here? I didn't hear you." Celia snapped back to reality. She rubbed her head and averted her gaze. "Could you perhaps cover up?"Yardley's slender fingers elegantly buttoned up his shirt. He looked at Celia, slightly amused. "Weren't you the one who bumped into me first?" The nerve she had to complain about the way he dressed when she was the one in his way in the first place."I-I'm going to take a shower." Celia felt a little flustered after being stared at by him. Sh

Chapter 25 Move to the Guest Room

"Celia, you've joined the secretarial department for a few days now. Follow up on our company's collaboration with Lady Couture for the next season," Sabrina said. There was an almost undetectable hint of jealousy in her eyes.She then handed some documents to Celia. "Here's the information about the collaboration. Do take a look at them promptly."Celia took the documents and glanced at them. "Okay."She turned around and returned to her own seat.Sabrina's jealousy intensified as she stared at Celia's back. She'd always been the one in charge of the project with Lady Couture. Alas, Yardley called her that morning. He asked her to let Celia handle the project instead.Why could she take over just like that? How would a country bumpkin like her be capable enough? Did she get the project because she was Yardley's fiancée?Just then, Sabrina received a text message. It read: "How's the progress?"It was from Willow.Sabrina thought for a moment and quickly replied: "Don't worry

Chapter 26 She Is Leo

Celia pushed Yardley out and closed the door behind him.As the door closed with a loud bang, Yardley felt frustrated. It was the first time someone dared to send him away. To make matters worse, it was a woman who shut him out!Originally, he wanted to ask if work was going well for her. He'd purposely asked Sabrina to hand over the Lady Couture project to her in order to train her.For a newcomer like Celia, taking on such a big project would be challenging. Thus, Yardley had made up his mind to guide her personally.Now, it seemed unnecessary because Celia didn't need it at all.Celia, of course, had no idea about Yardley's thoughts. If she knew he planned to train her like she was a newbie, she would be amused.After sending Yardley away, Celia took out a compact laptop from her suitcase and opened an encrypted file. The designs for her new collection of dresses were in it.Celia was actually the world's most famous fashion designer, Leo.But who was Leo?Two yea

Chapter 27 The Gift

Willow was clearly challenging Celia.She was sure that a country bumpkin like Celia wouldn't be able to afford anything worthwhile. In fact, she might have come empty-handed. Through this comparison, Otto would see who was a proper young lady from a noble family worthy of Yardley.Willow knew that Otto had a lot of say in Yardley's marriage. Thus, she had to seize the opportunity to change his mind.Recently, Willow had been experimenting with different ways to please Lilian and gain her approval. But even with her best efforts, Yardley remained cold and distant toward her.Lilian told her that Otto picked Celia for Yardley. Hence, he had no choice but to accept the fiancée that was forced onto him. If Willow could leave a good impression on Otto and embarrass Celia, she would gain his favor and become the young madam of the Hughes family."I didn't prepare anything." Celia was not nervous.Disdain flashed in Willow's eyes. As she thought, this country bumpkin had prepared nothi

Chapter 28 Thank You

Celia gave a slight bow and said, "Pardon me. I need to step out for a moment.""Where are you going?" Yardley frowned, sounding a bit displeased. "We're about to have lunch."What could be so important that she had to excuse herself immediately?"I have something urgent to attend to." Celia stood up and walked toward the door.She called the vet and inquired, "Dr. Zabel, it's me, Celia. How's the dog I brought in last time?"Dr. Zabel answered, "It has fully recovered."Celia nodded. "I'll come to pick it up now."When she saw the photo earlier, Celia noticed that the dog in Otto's arms looked very similar to the stray dog she'd rescued before. The collar it wore was exactly the same.Celia was almost certain that the stray dog she'd rescued was the one Otto had lost.Hearing from Yardley that Otto had a deep bond with the dog, she decided to immediately bring the dog back and hand it over to Otto.Seeing Celia suddenly leave, Lilian was unhappy. "What is she doing? How rude

Chapter 29 Complete Defeat

Celia met Yardley's deep gaze and smiled sweetly. "It was just a small favor. It's nothing.""Cece, come sit down and eat. Ramsey, bring Cece a plate," Otto instructed. He was delighted to have Dolly back."Yes, Mr. Hughes Senior." Ramsey immediately gave the order.As he spoke, Otto moved his seat aside. He motioned for Celia to sit next to Yardley."You're too kind, Grandpa Hughes." Celia took the empty seat beside Yardley and smiled gently."Celia, thank you for bringing Dolly back to me." Otto held onto Dolly affectionately, reluctant to let go. He looked at Celia very gratefully.If it weren't for Celia, he might never have seen Dolly again in his lifetime. Should he meet his late wife in the afterlife, he wouldn't know what to say to her about Dolly's disappearance.Thankfully, Dolly was back."It was sheer luck that I happened to come across Dolly." Celia lowered her head and petted Dolly.Its fur was fluffy and soft. It felt good to touch. The pet hospital took good ca

Chapter 30 Apologize to Her

Looking in the direction that the store assistant was pointing to, Willow saw a breathtaking woman. She looked as if she'd descended from the heavens while wearing the pure white Elsa series dress.The off-shoulder design exposed her alluring collarbones, and the mermaid hem accentuated her tall figure. The dress showcased her graceful curves to perfection.She looked noble, refined, and graceful. But at the same time, she also had a hint of playfulness. Willow was busy admiring the lady until she came to a sudden realization. She screamed inwardly, "Isn't this Celia? How could she be so beautiful!"Willow's eyes flashed with envy as she pointed at Celia and said to the store assistant, "I'm buying that dress! Wrap it up for me!"The store assistant seemed conflicted. "But ... this young lady said that she'd buy the dress just now.""Has she paid for it?" Willow questioned rudely.The store assistant hesitated for a moment. "No, not yet.""If she hasn't paid, then she hasn't b
