Semua Bab Ms. York's Second Proposal: Bab 471 - Bab 480

Lilian was the heart and soul of the Belasco family. As she neared the end of her life, it seemed like everything in the Belasco family had come to a halt.Celeste and Megan had similar thoughts. Although they knew Lilian was in the wrong, they didn't want to dwell on it anymore.As someone nearing death who hadn't committed any major wrongs, Lilian's actions seemed merely like those of a mischievous young girl. They decided to let her be.Celeste felt grateful for all the years Lilian had spent with Jane. As for Megan, she simply packed her bags and went abroad again.Managing several clubs overseas, Megan rarely needed to be physically present. Last time she stayed away for several months to avoid Caro. This time, she had even planned out a month's worth of work, filling her schedule to capacity.To Celeste, Megan and Winston's affair was like a play that had only finished its first act. During the intermission, everyone was waiting for the second act to begin, but then th

"Ms. Gibson isn't feeling well. You should go back first. Grandma and Mr. Belasco as well. You all should go back and rest. We'll stay here with Cal." Damon moticed Celeste's impatience and took the initiative to speak.Despite being blood relatives, Jane's affection for Lilian was more evident. Even with Caleb unconscious, Jane still had the mood to comfort Lilian, which Celeste found disheartening. Upon Damon's considerate approach, Celeste silently agreed. Jane suddenly realized that she had upset Celeste and felt embarrassed."Cal hasn't woken up yet. How can I possibly ease my mind?" Jane hurriedly moved closer to the bedside."No worries, Mrs. Belasco. I'll bring in more people to take care of Cal. You can rest assured," Liam also politely chimed in."No. I have to wait until Cal wakes up!" Jane's statement was directed at Celeste."You should go back first. I'm more at ease taking care of Cal myself. I don't want to bother you all," Celeste said after a brief silenc

Fiona Davies, at 33 years old, had pursued her studies from undergraduate to doctoral level at universities ranked in top ten globally, specializing in surgical medicine.For someone born into wealth, such a resume was not uncommon. After all, even someone as seemingly clueless as Damon could attend a prestigious university like yGenova. So, of course, Fiona could too.What left Celeste stunned was Fiona's resume that Megan sent her.Unlike the other branch of the Davies family, Fiona's parents were politicians. When she flew abroad to study at the age of 19, she was still the daughter of a high-ranking official. But at 20, her father was disgraced due to involvement in corruption, and even covering tuition and living expenses became a problem.When 20-year-old Fiona learned that her family's assets had been seized, all she had left were a dozen or so luxury bags and two suitcases of clothes that she had taken abroad. She dismissed the servants who had accompanied her abroad an

Three days later, Celeste left Caleb in the care of Winston and Damon. She headed to Marksville solo.Kenny had heard about her arrival and had arranged a welcome banquet in advance. It was serving Geno cuisine, which both Kenny and Celeste loved.During the meal, Celeste laid out her plan. Kenny smiled faintly. He set down his fork, and crossed his arms as he looked at her. "I never help people with these kinds of things.""Kenny, what do you want as an exchange? I'll make it happen." In Celeste's plan, Kenny was an important piece, and she was determined to swallow her pride to ask him for help."At my age, I don't need money, and I'm not interested in women. There's nothing I really want."Kenny was speaking the truth. Last time, when he helped Celeste, it was more out of admiration for her and concern for Phillip's feelings. He only took a token amount of money.Celeste remained calm. After spending some time with Kenny, she felt she had a decent grasp of who he was."Afte

Celeste retorted without hesitation, "This table hosts the biggest game in the house. Anyone who dares to sit here isn't just some naive rookie. "Once you're in the game, it's all about winning or losing, and there's no point in using status to oppress others.""Hey, lady. So, you wanna do it the hard way, huh?" Jerry slammed the table."Jerry, sit down." Finally, Bryan spoke in a deep voice.Jerry immediately sat down obediently, glaring at Celeste."Since it's all about winning or losing. Then, you shouldn't just boast." Bryan confidently placed a stack of chips on the table, speaking casually.He seemed calm, but Celeste knew her provocation had worked because the fierceness in his eyes had intensified.This was exactly what she wanted, Celeste thought, but she didn't let her guard down.The dozen or so people at the table were all her temporary hired hands. Except for Bryan and the outsider, they were kept in the dark.After giving Bryan a taste of victory twice, letting
