Sabrina clenched her fist. "I'm sorry," she said reluctantly.Celia perked up her ears. "What did you say? I couldn't hear you clearly."Sabrina could only raise her voice and repeated, "I'm sorry!""I don't want to see something like this happen again!" Yardley's cold voice carried an overwhelming sense of authority that made Sabrina flinch.The latter glared menacingly at Celia after leaving the CEO's office. "This country bumpkin is smarter than I had imagined," she thought. Sabrina fell right into Celia's trap and made a fool of herself in front of Yardley at that time. She vowed to seek revenge for this humiliation. She would undoubtedly make Celia pay for everything she had gone through that day!Celia stayed behind at the end of the day to double-check the data Sabrina had given her before heading back. The former was about to hail a cab after she stepped out of the Hughes Inc. building when a black Rolls Royce pulled up next to her. It was Yardley's car. "Get in the

Nope? In other words, she was not the girl who saved him many years ago. Yardley's gaze dimmed at that thought. Celia pursed her lips and felt weirded out by his demeanor. "What is he getting at? Was he hoping that I had been kidnapped before?" she wondered.Silence ensued for the rest of the drive. Lillian handed Yardley an invitation after returning home. "Mr. Xanders Senior's 70th birthday celebration is this weekend. Don't forget." Percival Xanders, Willow's grandfather, held his birthday banquet at the opulent Cerulean Crown Hotel in Ashvale City, and those in attendance were all prominent and influential figures.Celia had never been a fan of such gatherings, but Lillian rudely woke her up early that morning. "Don't you dare embarrass us!" warned Lillian. Celia was bored out of her mind even though the banquet was in full swing. She glanced at the man who was the center of attention in the crowd. She then stood up and prepared to go to the rooftop to get some fresh
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 20 A Plan
"Is that so?" Celia asked. "It appears that Willow has set a trap for me. I'd like to see what she has in store for me since she wants to accuse me of stealing," she thought."What happened?" Percival asked with a frown. To be honest, he didn't believe that Yardley's fiancée would steal anything. Still, he had no choice but to believe it because his granddaughter was certain, especially when there was an eyewitness. "Here's what happened. Celia happened to pass by as Willow was showing us her diamond ring. She had seemed very interested in it. She also stared at it for quite a long time," Lisa stepped forward and said. Celia was dumbfounded. "When did I ever like that diamond ring? When did I stare at it for quite a while?" she wondered.Lisa paused before continuing, "Then we went to dance, and Willow took off the diamond ring and placed it in her bag. But the ring was missing after we had finished dancing."Willow stifled her excitement and added, "That's right. We searc
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! 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
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! 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
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! 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
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! 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
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! 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
