Semua Bab Ms. York's Second Proposal: Bab 371 - Bab 380

The young man led Leah—who didn't know what was happening—into the car. As the car drove further away, they left the urban area. They then reached the suburbs where there were no streetlights. "Where are you taking me to?" Anxious, Leah's heart raced as she fumbled for her phone, only to realize that she couldn't make any calls."Don't bother. There's a device in the car that blocks out any signal." The young man sounded as if he was mocking her. "W-what are you going to do?" Leah's face paled. Terrified, she anxiously demanded. "Nothing, I'm just doing my job for someone who's inviting you to go somewhere." The car finally stopped at an abandoned garage. The young man exited the car, then went to open the door on Leah's side. "Don't… don't you dare hurt me." Trembling, Leah shrank further into the car seat and refused to get out. A few burly masked men appeared out of nowhere. They tied Leah's limbs up before dragging her out of the car. The terrified Leah instantly s

Celeste grabbed the bottle of tequila from the table and smashed it against the corner of the coffee table. Instantly, the liquor spilled, and the glass shards scattered everywhere. Only the upper half of the broken bottle was left in Celeste's hand. Celeste's eyes were filled with murderous intent. She reached out and clutched Damon's collar with her free hand. "She's in a mental asylum, isn't she? Which asylum is that?" "Don't be reckless, darling." Damon hugged Celeste and trapped her in his arms. "Let me go!" Celeste's voice turned cold. She struggled to free herself. "I'll do it! I'll make sure she lives the rest of her life in hell. Let me handle this!" Damon hugged her tight and comforted her. "She should die! She killed my child!" "Yes, she should die. I should die, too, for believing her words. Be good, don't hurt yourself." Carefully, Damon stretched his hand out as he tried to take the bottle away from her. Celeste wouldn't loosen her grip. "Good girl, give

Jasper watched as Damon got angry, but he didn't back down. He only spoke up when he noticed that Damon had calmed down after a long while. "Damon, you know I'm not guilt-tripping you. I made a mistake this time. I shouldn't have lied to you because of Leah. I can't afford to lose you as a friend. If you do as I said, I'll let you send me to prison. Of course, I have a request." He pursed his lips before continuing, "Damon, if I get locked up, let's agree to put this matter behind us instead of letting it drive us apart."Jasper had a determined look on his face. He looked intently at Damon as if he wanted to figure out what the latter was thinking. "After you get out of prison, you might no longer have power over the Schultz family." Damon sneered as he held the papers up. "Jasper, you're foolish for showing your weakness to others so casually." Damon knew not to share Jasper's weaknesses, but what if someone else got hold of these documents? "I don't care! Damon, I've be

Before Celeste could even dodge her, the burly nurses sitting to the side had already dashed over and held her back.Celeste pulled Leah's hair and slapped her cheeks over and over. "Shut up, you mad woman!" Leah eventually backed down. All the fury in her eyes turned into hopelessness. As the daughter of a prestigious family, she had always been pampered and loved—but this was how she ended up in life. "Leah, do you still think that you've done nothing wrong?" "Of course I haven't! It's all your fault, you demon!" Leah howled. She was someone who ceased her own father's treatment just so she could distract Damon and end the lives of Celeste's child as well as two other people. She thought that the only mistake she made was getting caught.Damon had clearly told Brenda about the whole story. If not, Brenda wouldn't have suffered a stroke almost immediately. At this moment, Brenda could barely take care of herself. But even if she could, she wouldn't dare ask Damon to

With Damon's help, the physical stores of Opulence Prowl were opened soon enough. It only took two to three months to complete the renovation and open large-scale outlets in several big cities across the country. Transitioning her business from online to offline, and from being in the spotlight to working behind the scenes—everything went unusually smoothly for Celeste. Shannon had escaped abroad, Leah was trapped in a mental asylum, and even Carly—who always caused Celeste trouble—was immediately sent out of the country after the incident. There were hardly any obstacles left around Celeste. It was only natural that things fell into place. She was busy with work from late autumn till winter. Before Christmas arrived, Celeste had already inaugurated over ten stores. Meanwhile, there had been new progress in the relationship between Megan and Winston. Celeste had seen Winston's personal belongings at Megan's place on more than one occasion.Sometimes, there would be a man
