The fabrics used for clothing were highly flammable. When the spark in the factory was noticed, a motor on the production line had already short-circuited, causing a fire. Even though it was the weekend, Opulent Prowl operated on a rotating rest schedule. Despite the industry's low wages and overtime pay, there were still over hundreds of workers on duty. As the factory turned into a fire scene, Celeste, who was accustomed to facing life's challenges, also panicked. "What's going on?" Celeste rushed out of her car and grabbed a fleeing worker to ask."The firefighters arrived earlier, and they're currently extinguishing the fire," the worker replied. Celeste walked inside and saw a firefighter holding a loudspeaker, directing the workers to wet their jacket with the hose, bend over, cover their mouths and noses, and escape. The other firefighters were tackling the blaze with various tools.Standing outside the billowing smoke, Celeste couldn't see clearly inside, but she

"Don't think I'm clueless about what you've done for me." Celeste glanced at Damon.Even though Damon wasn't in Taverdale last week, he was aware of everything.Whenever Celeste needed something, Liam acted immediately.If she needed armed forces, they were readily available. If she needed goods, arrangements were promptly made for a fictitious 200 million worth of goods.What was more, her purpose in all of this was simply to use the opportunity to intimidate Titus and Shannon. However, Damon felt that since he and Celeste were already involved, they might as well make a big splash and get the media involved.He had fully trusted her, never questioning her actions or interfering with them. Instead, he silently supported her, providing whatever she needed.Having someone like Damon backing her up gave Celeste an extraordinary sense of confidence.She was suddenly touched, feeling a bit emotional."You're supporting me like this, aren't you afraid it might blow up?" Celeste as

"Meg is the kind who would rather suffer herself than see her elders down. No wonder she's been wearing long-sleeved shirts since she came back this year," Chester sighed, his eyes welling up."When she graduated from high school and Celeste went abroad for studies, she wanted to go too. "But back then, I wasn't in good health and had surgery. Everyone in the family was afraid I might not make it... You know, Meg received an offer from a foreign university, but she lied to us, claiming she didn't pass the exam and chose not to pursue it."Indeed, this was Megan's personality. Despite her trendy appearance with the club, she was deeply traditional in her values. Sacrificing her future for the sake of her family was something she could do.Winston secretly rejoiced that he had spun a lie that fit Megan's character so perfectly."Jenny always thinks I'm biased toward Meg. But that's not true. Jenny is too rational, too aware of what she wants, and she's good at protecting herself.

At that moment, Winston was still at the Primax Group's office building handling work. Meanwhile, Megan went directly to Primax.As soon as she arrived at the front desk and before she could speak, a girl in a suit skirt crossed the front desk and greeted her with a smile. "You must be Ms. Schultz. I'm Mr. Belasco's secretary, Eva Hanks. Mr. Belasco is waiting for you in his office. Please follow me." Megan nodded and followed Eva directly to the Chairman's office on the top floor.At that moment, Winston was engrossed in a document. Upon seeing Megan enter, his demeanor softened slightly. "Have a seat on the sofa and wait for me. Help yourself to the tablet." He deftly pulled out an iPad from under the desk and handed it to Megan, then instructed Eva to bring some snacks and a hot cup of milk.Megan frowned. "Do you think I'm a child?"His actions seemed like those dad who had to bring his child to work and gave her a tablet to play with so she wouldn't disturb him, along

Megan was well aware of Lilian's antics. But in the end, they were just the schemes of a young girl, albeit executed poorly. Upon seeing Lilian in her current state, Megan felt it was rather unseemly for her to be arguing with a terminally ill patient.After Winston's confession, Megan's heart was in turmoil. Instead of being drawn into Winston's confession, she decided it would be better to leave first.As Megan was about to leave, Winston reached out to grab her arm, but she dodged away.Knowing that Lilian didn't have much time left, this truth remained unspoken among them.Winston didn't want to see Lilian suffer any longer. So, he told Megan, "I'll come find you tomorrow."Winston's gaze seemed to want to draw her in, not allowing her to escape."Let's talk about it later." Megan took a deep breath and turned to leave.Sitting in her car, Megan still couldn't calm her emotions. So, she decided to call Celeste.The phone rang for what felt like an eternity before Celest
