Semua Bab Ms. York's Second Proposal: Bab 211 - Bab 220

Of course, Damon wouldn't be able to accept it. Damon was so possessive over Celeste that it'd bother him if other men talked to her, let alone booked a hotel room together."Forget it. Nicholas said that I'll have to be hospitalized for a few days. You don't have to visit me if there's nothing to talk about. We can take the time to calm down a little." With that, Celeste closed her eyes without waiting for Damon's reply. SThe back of her neck was injured, so she was dizzy. Later on, she actually fell asleep and didn't even know when Damon left the ward. It was nighttime when Celeste woke up again. "How are you feeling? Do you want some water?" She heard a gentle voice from a man. It was Lawrence. "Lawrence, why are you here?" After waking up from her sleep, Celeste felt so much better. She sat up a little and greeted Lawrence. There was a bouquet of sunflowers by the side of the headboard, and the floor was covered with tens of boxes of fruits and snacks too. It was

For a whole week, Damon didn't appear in the hospital as Celeste had requested. However, he'd made sure to remind her of his existence by sending Edna over to take care of her. Not only that, he'd also ask people to deliver flowers or supplements to her at the hospital. "What's wrong with Damon? Is he trying to catch his wife's heart or something? What the hell has he been doing?" When Megan came by to see Celeste, she complained as she looked at the floor covered by all the stuff. "Don't bother. He's just insane." Celeste felt troubled seeing a whole ward full of flowers. "But you should think this through. I checked Damon and the guys' bill that night, and I asked Jasper about it too. He had nearly two bottles of whiskey and two dozen shots by himself. It wouldn't be realistic for anything to happen that night. Leah probably put on an act alone just to make you angry," Megan said. "Did you scold Damon for me a few days ago?" Celeste chuckled and said, giving Megan a side-

"I can't be bothered by that anymore. I'll just be careful." Although Celeste wasn't loud, she sounded determined. "If you utilize a fixer well, he'd be of great help to you. But if not, everything would be over for you if you get dragged into it and go to jail." "Didn't you mention that there's a fixer called Kenny Lewis who's really good at the job? Give me his contact number." Celeste decided to ignore the second half of Megan's words. Megan sighed. "Kenny retired from the industry a long while ago. In his early days, he accomplished some great things and made a lot of money. He might not even want to take up a minor deal like yours." "Where is he now?" "He's in Marksville." …After a thorough investigation, Celeste learned about Kenny's background briefly. Kenny was already in his 50s. When he was young, he was kept by a renowned wealthy woman in Taverdale for a while. After that, he was intelligent enough to be the woman's assistant and did some work. Then, for so

"I do need to ask you for help." Celeste sipped on her wine to regain her composure. "I thought that I could ask for your help at any price you ask for. But judging from the current situation, I'm afraid that any amount of money wouldn't be able to convince you. I could only take the harder route to persuade you." There was frustration in Kenny's eyes. He said, "How are your actions any different from talking about a brothel with a courtesan who has left the industry? Ah, there is a difference. I've worked both as a courtesan and a fixer." Kenny then sneered and stood up. "Although you're a smart woman, you show no mercy in rubbing salt in another's wound. Please leave!" Kenny's dark past had always been something that bothered him deeply. Now that he was in the upper class of the society, nobody dared to bring it up. "That's not what I meant, Mr. Lewis!" Celeste stood up to explain, but Kenny had already left. Now that her plan had failed, Celeste couldn't process what

Celeste couldn't sleep for the whole night. The next morning, she called the hotel's front desk to send a cup of espresso to her room. Speaking of which, Celeste was someone who used to stay in youth hostels whenever she traveled in the past. She suddenly felt lonely and thought that she should thank Damon for being able to lead a worriless life now. After everything he provided for her, she hadn't expressed her gratitude to him. In fact, she complained that he didn't love her enough. She was greedy to have thought that way. It's not like Damon owed her anything. Not to mention, she wouldn't have been troubled by such an issue if she had stopped herself from falling for him. If she had played hard to get just like how it was from the start, she wouldn't mind if he cheated on her with other women. If that went on, it was a given that they'd divorce. And by then, she'd definitely return the pink diamond and building back to him. Suddenly, Celeste felt a pain in her ch
