Semua Bab Shh! Don't Let Him Know!: Bab 291 - Bab 300

However, Celia remained calm and composed.The corners of her lips quirked up as she fought Earl's henchmen, wielding the steel pipes in her hands like two swords.The crisp sound of bones breaking sounded whenever her steel pipes struck someone. Her attacks were precise and ruthless, and she showed no mercy.She knew she would be the one lying on the ground if she did.In the blink of an eye, Earl's gang of henchmen were all lying on the ground, clutching their arms and knees in agony. All of them had been thoroughly defeated!Celia put the steel pipes away and smiled as she looked at Earl calmly. "Mr. Hudson, let's talk business, shall we?" "Business?" Earl was taken aback.Celia nodded. "Tell me who you made a deal with. What did that person promise you? I'll double it."Earl snorted. He couldn't deny that Celia was a force to be reckoned with.He had never seen a woman fight so well and so ruthlessly.Still, Earl declined Celia's offer when he thought of Regina's seduc

Celia had a very long dream.In the dream, she was being pursued by a lot of people, and she was running for her life.There was a cliff in front of her, and the people who were chasing after her were behind her … She was at a dead end!"Yardley, save me …" Celia subconsciously cried out, but her throat was extremely dry, and she couldn't utter a word.She was pushed off the cliff, and she kept falling down.Celia woke up with a start.What was that? Was that a nightmare?But it had been so vivid. It felt like it had actually happened. It was definitely not a dream!Celia tried to move her fingers, but her muscles were so sore and tired.Then, it hit her. Earl's men had tampered with her car's brakes. Then, she had been surrounded and attacked by his henchmen after she had managed to get out of the car.Celia had knocked them down one after another, but she had been seriously outnumbered. She had felt as though she had been fighting an endless stream of people.Later, she

"This man is …" Celia frowned as a vague suspicion arose in her heart.Anthony reached out, pointed at the screen, and said calmly, "It's Chandler Lawrence. This photograph was taken at Atria.""So it is him." She narrowed her eyes.Her previous guess was correct.In other words, Angelica and Chandler had known each other for a long time. The two hadn't just happened to meet when they framed her for leaking the bid to BPL."Have you found out what their relationship is?" she asked.Anthony shook his head. "Not yet."Celia smiled. "Look into it for me.""You can count on me, Ava!" he readily agreed.All of a sudden, he thought of something. "By the way, Ava, Regina was the one who ordered Earl to get rid of you.""I know. Yardley just told me." Celia nodded."I didn't expect this woman to hate me to the point where she would wish for my death."If she had known Regina was such a psychopath, she wouldn't have let Zephyr take her away back then."Zephyr can't be blamed for th

Yardley's eyes dimmed slightly at her reaction. "You've misunderstood me."He then spoke calmly, "I just wanted to wipe off the risotto at the corner of your mouth."What? Celia quickly wiped the corner of her mouth, and her finger located the grain of rice.Had she misunderstood him? Celia's face turned red in embarrassment.She cleared her throat and changed the subject. "I want to go to sleep."With that, she lay down, turned her back to Yardley, and covered her head with the blanket.Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, a pair of large hands encircled her waist from behind and hugged her tightly. She was pulled into a warm and cozy embrace."What are you doing?" Celia's body stiffened, and she started to struggle against him.She heard Yardley's tired and hoarse voice from behind her. "Don't move. I'm tired too. I haven't slept for two days and two nights while taking care of you."Celia turned around upon hearing this.She met Yardley's gaze. In such proximity,

Celia waited for a while more. When she checked the time again, it was almost noon. Yet, there was still no sign of Nicole. Celia began to feel a growing sense of worry. She tried calling Nicole, but her phone was off. Nicole was usually very disciplined. If she had planned to meet Celia in the morning, she wouldn't have stayed out of touch for so long. Could something have happened?Celia drove to the hotel where Nicole was staying and knocked on her room's door. No response came from inside. Sje furrowed her brows, sensing that something was amiss. In the end, she asked the hotel manager for help. The hotel manager opened the door only to find the room empty. Nicole was nowhere to be found. Next, they checked the security footage. They saw that Nicole had gone to a nearby supermarket after leaving the hotel last night. She had walked into a blind spot in the surveillance. After that, she had disappeared.Celia realized that something was seriously wrong. Nicole was
