Semua Bab Ms. York's Second Proposal: Bab 121 - Bab 130

It was the next week when Celeste heard of Henry using his daughter to gain some benefits. "Last Friday, Henry made an official will. He promised to hand over all of his properties and businesses to Shannon as inheritance. What's going on? Is there something wrong with his health? Why is he in such a rush to make a will?" Megan heard of this news from her connections. She was curious. "I received another piece of information. Jonah has announced that he'll pass on all of his fire safety projects to the York Group in the future as a form of collaboration. "They've also signed an agreement for a property development project in Lagona. They'll be receiving thirty percent of the cost as advance payment," Celeste said calmly. Henry was healthy. There could only be one reason for him to make a will this early. This was so that he could provide Shannon with a guaranteed benefit. It was a form of compensation. And what could that be for? The answer to that question was clear after comb

Celeste managed to arrive in Lagona around 11 am. She stated her identity as Lawrence's assistant. So it was easy for her to enter the construction site where the Radcliffe Group was building a new property. Thousands of construction workers were hard at work. Celeste wore a safety hat and a white cashmere coat. She walked past everyone in her three-inch tall heels. Anyone passing by would check her out. The project was still in the initial stage of design. There were only a few men in charge and architects from the York family. They were standing around the site to take measurements and draft. Celeste recognized their uniform. And so, she walked around the construction site once and took some pictures as information. She pretended to be calm as she greeted them. "When will the project start?" "Pretty soon. The latest should be early next month." Not many knew of the relationship between Celeste and the York family. Those people only thought that she was a representative fr

Killing people before they could retract their confession sounded like something Henry and Hannah would do. Henry destroyed three families just like that. Thinking of what he did to her mother, herself, and Caleb sent shivers down Celeste's spine. "How long have you been working for the York Group?" "More than a year. I've been waiting for an opportunity." Celeste nodded. She didn't say anything to reassure him. Everyone had their own troubles in life. She felt that nothing she said would mean much to him. She also believed that someone who could endure so much pain like Mason would be able to overcome this. Not long after the two had a chat, her phone rang. It was Damon. "Hello, darling." Celeste gestured for Mason to give her a few minutes. She walked outside after answering the call. Damon's heart went soft when he heard her call him "darling". "Hello. I have to visit the Sullivan residence at night for Mr. Sullivan's birthday celebration," he said. "Oh, okay." C

For a long time, Celeste couldn't return to her senses. She thought that she just had to marry Damon, and she wouldn't care about how much he fooled around with other women. But after all these incidents, she knew that she couldn't accept such a relationship at all. Relationship? Celeste was taken aback by her own thoughts. She thought that she just had a simple goal when she got married to Damon. How could feelings be involved now? The one who fell first would lose. Of course, Celeste understood this well enough. "Son of a bitch, what's the point of him pretending to tell me where he'd be going?" She snickered and called Megan. "Are you free? I'm back from Lagona." At the Regalia Club, Megan opened a bottle of vodka for Celeste. Watching her add a huge ice cube and different drinks in there, Megan couldn't help but laugh. "Don't blame me if you get alcohol poisoning. I'm worried that your husband will come over and destroy my whole club." "Don't talk to me about that s

"Damon, did you hear what I said?" Celeste was still throwing a fit, but her tone was weaker. The Regalia Club wasn't far from their villa. After just 20 minutes, Damon already had her pressed into the bed.His deep eyes were transfixed on hers as he hovered over her body. Celeste sank into the soft bed. She was no longer drunk. "Sorry, I shouldn't have interfered with your private life." She turned her head away sadly. Damon was clearly upset. She must have said something wrong. She was lucky to be able to marry him. How dare she control the way he lived his life and handled his relationships? At that moment, the sadness in her eyes hurt Damon. Damn it! What was she thinking about this time? "Look at me!" Damon said loudly. He tilted her chin up with one hand. He flipped her over to look straight at him. "Why do you think I'm angry, Celeste?" What was this woman thinking about? Why did she look so hurt? "I shouldn't have interfered with your life." Celeste felt wron
