Semua Bab Ms. York's Second Proposal: Bab 451 - Bab 460

"Even if I did something wrong, Grandma and Mr. Belasco wouldn't do anything to me. Can't you tell that already? Being jealous of me would just make you and Ms. Schultz suffer." Perhaps that was the case, but she and Megan weren't jealous of Lilian at all. In fact, Celeste felt bad for Lilian when she heard that Lilian was suffering from late-stage cancer. Celeste only started hating her because of everything Lilian did afterwards. Celeste snickered. "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. You think that we're jealous of you, but doesn't that mean you're actually jealous of us?' Being exposed by Celeste, Lilian felt embarrassed. "So what if I'm jealous? I'm about to die soon. After I die, I'll always be the kind and innocent girl who Grandma and Mr. Belasco won't ever be able to forget. As for you and Ms. Schultz, it'd be hard for you to defeat me without dying." When Lilian talked about death in private, there was no fear or sadness in her at all. Inste

When they saw Winston, Megan pulled Celeste away and wanted to leave. But before the two could reach the door, Winston had already caught up to them. "Megan, I need to talk to you about something." Megan felt helpless. This was bound to happen after all. "Do you need something from me?" "Yes. Cece, please give us some space to talk." Winston glanced at Celeste, who was by Megan's side. He was assertive. "Don't go." Megan insisted she stayed. Celeste didn't know what to do. Megan was her best friend, and Winston was her uncle. Who should she listen to? "Meg, don't make me kiss you during Jonah's funeral." When Celeste didn't move, Winston could only lean closer to Megan and whisper in her ear. "You wouldn't dare." Megan was mad. "Try me." Winston's lips brushed past her ear. It caused Megan's goosebumps to rise. He had always been gentle. His dominating tone today reminded Megan of that one day. She thought about the look on Winston's face, which he couldn't hide

Megan felt helpless. After the meal, she called Celeste to complain. "What is up with Winston? Does leaving a friend with benefits render him in such pain?" She refused to believe that Winston's business venture with her parents was just a coincidence."I don't know, but I think he's just being stubborn when he says he doesn't love you," Celeste said. She didn't have much experience in dating, and she was always straightforward when she dealt with problems. She couldn't tell what Winston was thinking by doing all of this, either. She believed Winston did love Megan; but this was something related to the future happiness of her best friend and uncle, so she dared not overanalyze the matter. "That's right. What's the point of asking you that? You've never even properly dated before." Megan sighed. Celeste chuckled. "Who told you that? I'm dating my ex-husband now." She and Damon had gone through multiple challenges in their relationship. They were currently at the stage wher

Megan was annoyed as the corners of her lips twitched.She told her parents that she was not close with Winston even though she was a shareholder of Opulent Prowl. After he called her Meg in front of everyone, how could she continue lying about this? "Are you guys close? Why didn't you invite Winston over to our place earlier then?" Sitting at the head of the table, Chester didn't participate in the conversations between the young ones, but he chose this moment to speak up. The way Chester glanced between Megan, Jennifer, and Winston seemed as if he was intrigued by what was happening. Chester was of old age, and he had been living a comfortable and leisurely life. He was just like a mischievous child sometimes. To Chester, Winston was just like a younger member of his family. It sounded affectionate when he called Winston by his first name. "We're old friends," Winston said with a smile. For some reason, the word "friends" sounded differently in Megan's ears. The long

When Jennifer arrived, Megan had already pushed Winston away. At that moment, Megan's hair was disheveled and hanging messily around her shoulders. She was leaning against the pole behind her weakly, her cheeks a bright shade of red.Winston wasn't in any better state. His tie was askew, and his lips were redder after being stained with Megan's lipstick. Being a mature woman in her 30s, Jennifer could tell what transpired. Her eyes darkened, and her chest felt tight. But she still smiled and said, "Mr. Belasco, Grandpa heard that you like art collections as well. He told me to invite you to his study." "Sure, please lead the way." Winston felt a little upset being disturbed by someone at such a critical moment, but he still answered with a smile. He fixed his tie with one hand while walking ahead with Jennifer. He thought to himself that Jennifer had certainly seen such a sight before. He didn't mind it; he just wondered if Megan would feel embarrassed. "Are you coming,
