Chapter 21 Getting Slapped

"Stop with the nonsense," Damon said as he reached out and placed Celeste's other hand back under the blanket. "If you're done, you can get lost now." He shooed Nicholas away."Hey, you can't just get rid of me after using me. If you really love her, I'll check and see if she has any other issues. Like if she's fertile—" Before he could finish speaking, Nicholas and his medical bag were thrown out of the villa."I haven't taken the needle out yet!" Nicholas yelled while he banged at the door, forgetting to maintain his image. "I know how to do it myself." Damon's voice drifted from a distance."Hmph. Heartless scumbag," Nicholas muttered as he looked at the tightly closed door. He immediately called Jasper once he had gotten into his car."I think Damon's in love!" he shouted into the phone, sounding like he'd made a revolutionary discovery.…For a whole day and night, Damon watched over Celeste. She drifted in and out of consciousness, in a daze the whole time. In t

Chapter 22 Henry's Visit

"You won't allow me in, but I've already been to his place twice," Celeste said blandly. She didn't appear at all angry even though she had been slapped.Serena was Damon's mother, and Damon was indeed innocent in all this. Celeste didn't want to go against her."I'm giving you two days to get out of Taverdale. If not, you're going to get it. And don't blame me for being ruthless if you don't leave!"Serena's temper flared when she saw how unaffected Celeste was. She raised her hand to slap Celeste again."I won't leave, ma'am. If you want me to leave, you might as well kill me." Celeste gripped Serena by the wrist, still looking unafraid.It was just a little bit of pain on her face. After the death of her mother, nothing much managed to hurt Celeste emotionally."If the Bishop family wants you dead, it will be as easy as stepping on an ant." Serena was stunned by Celeste's reaction, and her anger died down slightly. "I'm looking forward to it," Celeste said. With that, sh

Chapter 23 Shrouded in Scandal

"Oh." That was the cool answer that Celeste gave.Damon was breaking off the engagement? That wasn't something Celeste had expected. No wonder Serena had reacted so strongly in the morning. She had assumed that Damon would use up all his effort to get back on Shannon's good side. Who would have thought that he would break things off instead?"You should get your daughter to reflect on what she's done wrong if Damon wants to break off the engagement. What's the point of coming here and telling me about it?" Celeste wasn't gullible to think that Damon was doing it because of her."Cel, I was wrong to do what I had in the past. How about this? As long as you agree not to bother Damon anymore, I'll pay for Cal's medical fees. I'll also introduce you to a good suitor—"Before Henry could get his pitch out, Celeste burst into a rage.She had assumed that he never knew about Caleb's condition. But the truth was that he knew and coldly chose to ignore it, leaving Caleb to die inst

Chapter 24 Lawrence to the Rescue

By the time Damon found out what had happened, the first place was given to the second-place winner.The organizer had also invited Damon to the award ceremony.He felt strange when he didn't see Celeste there while he was on stage. But he maintained his usual expression and handed out the first-place prize. This included a trophy and a large mock-up check. At the end of the ceremony, he asked with fake casualness, "Isn't Celeste York the first-place winner? Why is it someone else now?"That was how he'd found out what happened from the organizer.Damon didn't have Twitter, but he downloaded the app just to check the situation out. Before long, he had a clear understanding of what was happening."She brought this on herself!" As he read the nasty comments on Twitter, all he could think was that Celeste deserved this.He was also enraged by how Celeste had sent all this to Shannon. Had Celeste slept with him just to get Shannon mad? Was he only a tool in her eyes?It was

Chapter 25 Working Harder

Damon was near the Bishop Group's lounge when he found out about Lawrence's heated statement.He was on the tenth floor to observe his staff at work. When he passed by the lounge, he overheard some women gossiping by the coffee machine."That Celeste York's really someone special. I regret going along with everyone else and insulting her.""She's quite hardworking. Plus, she's so beautiful.""It's a shame she gave up her winning position because of the scandal. Otherwise, she would have gotten that 200-thousand-dollar cash prize!""Aw, look how Mr. Radcliffe defended her. Their relationship must be close. She shouldn't be worried about not having money …"This topic touched on Damon's sore spot, so Liam coughed loudly where he stood next to Damon. The employees scattered off at that."What are they chatting about?" Damon had a terrifying expression."Er, it's about Mr. Radcliffe's statement on Twitter. He used his good name to defend Ms. York …" Liam did his best to tread lig

Chapter 26 Seen as Prey

It was 9:00 pm when Damon's car arrived back at his villa. Celeste was fast asleep as she curled into a ball at the gates.The driver flickered the car's headlights. Seeing as Celeste didn't react, he prepared to blare the car's horn.Liam was sitting in the front passenger seat. He quickly waved his hand to stop the driver from doing so."Ms. York must have been waiting for a long time if she fell asleep here," Liam said softly to Damon. His head turned toward the backseat. He watched as Damon expressionlessly got out of the car and picked Celeste up."You're home." Celeste blearily opened her eyes and casually placed her head against Damon's chest.Her breath blew on Damon's neck, and this made him breathe slightly heavier. Damon said nothing. He only carried Celeste across the front courtyard and into the living room. He then headed upstairs. "I missed you," Celeste mumbled into Damon's neck when Damon still kept silent. She sought out his lips.Damon's heart was

Chapter 27 The Donor Changes His Mind

Damon wasn't interested in someone else's family matters. What angered him was that Celeste had approached him of her own will to use him as a tool against the York family.If Shannon had a marriage agreement with another man, she would have competed with Shannon for him too.He had already experienced first-hand how Celeste would go to any lengths to achieve her goals.If that man hadn't been him, Celeste would have taken all her clothes off before him and held him tight.The thought of this made Damon's heart hurt. What an ill-behaved woman!But luckily, Damon was the target.Over the next few days, Damon was exceptionally patient. He waited for Celeste to show up with her positive pregnancy test.Of course, she might not have gotten pregnant. If that was the case, would she try the same trick again? Would she wait curled up in a ball at the villa's gates just to seduce him?She would. Celeste had always pursued her goals with great determination.She would never give

Chapter 28 A Negotiation With Henry

Celeste begged and begged while she kneeled. She even increased the amount she offered them to 500 thousand dollars. Later on, she went up to a million dollars. But the man only stayed quiet. In the end, he pulled his wife by the hand and left in a huff. "Sir, madam, please. I'm begging you!" Celeste cried from behind them. They paused in their steps but didn't look back.After she failed to talk the donor's parents into consenting, Celeste stayed on the ground. She felt like her body had been emptied of its contents and could barely move.When Caleb walked in later on, she didn't notice him at all."Cel." Caleb bent down and hugged her. "I'm very happy to be able to live to the age of 17 under your and Mom's protection. You don't have to do this for me …"Whatever words he wanted to say next were lodged in his throat. He had seen the lost expression in Celeste's eyes and her tear-covered face."Cal, you'll be fine. I'll definitely find you another heart," Celeste mumble

Chapter 29 Why Is She Crying?

Henry knew about everything that was happening. But he wasn't sympathetic at all and happily stood by as his son's life was used as a bargaining chip."You would stand by and watch your son die. Henry York, y-you're heartless!"Although Celeste had long known about Henry's personality, she still hoped that he had some humanity in him. It now seemed that she had been too foolish."If Damon doesn't marry Shannon, the York family will be done for! I need to look at the bigger picture!" Henry said as he slammed his fist on the table and stood up.His words were unquestionably shameless. Celeste didn't bother to listen any longer. She simply turned and left.The instant she walked out of the café doors, Celeste was unable to hold back her emotions. She curled up on the busy street and started bawling.Damon had just finished a meeting and was heading home. He closed his eyes and rested for a bit while in the car. "Isn't that Ms. York?" Liam asked, prompting Damon to abruptly ope

Chapter 30 Nicholas' Nosy Nature

As she spoke, Celeste buried her head in Damon's chest. Then, there came her muffled voice. "Shannon is the best match for you. I shouldn't have disrupted your life. I'll leave Taverdale tomorrow." Damon lost his temper right away.He forced Celeste's head up. "Celeste York, who do you take me for?"She was the one who had gotten involved with him but was now leaving him behind. Celeste angered him to the point where a vein pulsed at his temple."I'm sorry." Celeste suddenly looked down.Damon didn't respond. He just stood up and walked off.Celeste tossed and turned half the night but didn't manage to fall asleep. At 4:00 am, she got up and left.Damon couldn't sleep either. He heard the door open from the room beside him and frowned."Tell Nicholas to hurry up." He sent a WhatsApp message to Liam."Yes, boss." Liam's reply was swift. It was a basic rule for Damon's staff to respond instantaneously at any time.…After leaving Damon's villa, Celeste hailed a cab and we
