“Cece, your ex-husband bullied me!" Sebastian complained pitifully to Celeste with a bruised eye.Celeste was shocked. "Why did Damon cause trouble again?"They had agreed to part ways amicably. Why was he still entangling her? He even went to bother Sebastian. He lacked proper etiquette."I was dating my crush at the club. Damon happened to see us..." Sebastian recounted the whole incident to Celeste, complaining non-stop.He grumbled discontentedly, "I can't tell him that we're in a sham marriage. If he finds out, he might continue to harass you!"Celeste massaged her temples helplessly. "It doesn't matter if you tell him, but... Sebby, you're tall and younger than him. Why didn't you hit back? Why did you let him bully you?"He was slightly younger than her. She always called him Sebby. He liked that nickname."After all, I'm the 'cheater'. I'm in the wrong. If I had hit him, wouldn't you feel sorry for him?" Sebastian rolled his eyes."He's only my ex-husband. Why should I

Celeste couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Just let him do whatever he wants!"Her reaction startled Damon. It turned out that she had known the truth all along.She was aware that Sebastian was fooling around outside, yet she could still pretend to be affectionate with him and respect his parents."Celeste, did you know that? When you first got together with me, Nicholas and Jasper stated you were the kind of person who would kill me and smear my door with blood if I betrayed you."Damon spoke bitterly with a hint of hoarseness."But now, where is your pride? What has smoothed out your pride and dignity?"Celeste knew he had misunderstood, but she didn't want to explain too much. She could only say, "Damon, every person will change."She wanted to leave quickly, but Damon leaned against her car door. He showed no signs of giving in."Is it because I hurt you?" If that experience made her less confident, cautious, and submissive, he would be a sinner."That's not important. Wh

Christie's Auction House announced early this week that a set of Princess Danielle's jewelry was going to be publicly auctioned. As a jewelry professional, Celeste naturally had to attend.For such high-value collections with starting bids in the eight digits, real buyers rarely showed up in person. Most of the deals were finalized over the phone by auction house staff.Celeste was an exception.She wanted to witness the splendor of Princess Danielle's jewelry firsthand. So, even if she didn't win any bids, she could still enjoy the sight. Moreover, as a jewelry professional, it was reasonable and not ostentatious even if she made a high bid.She was prepared to declare her presence among the mysterious buyers. To her surprise, as soon as she entered, she saw Damon sitting in the front row, upright and composed.Despite his black mask, she recognized him at first glance.He was in a white casual suit and sat with his legs crossed. He wasn't wearing a tie and was in a pair of slig

Damon smiled beneath the mask, his eyes teasing as he glanced at her. "What's wrong? Are you worried about your husband's money?"Husband? Legally, her husband was Sebastian.Celeste didn't bother to argue with him. "I almost forgot. The Bishops resemble a money-printing machine. You can afford whatever you desire. Throwing a few billion around is no problem for you."She didn't know why he was interested in this necklace set. She felt it was fine. Although she liked it, it was unnecessary to spend several times the expected price to buy it.The other party didn't bid again."30 million once.""30 million twice.""30 million thrice.""Sold! Congratulations to Mr. Bishop for becoming the owner of Princess Danielle's Swan Lake Suite!"The auctioneer's voice sounded. It was a done deal. Celeste looked at Damon with a hint of sympathy.She never expected him to be an easy touch. Was he a fan of Princess Danielle? How could he, who appeared to prefer a graceful woman, be so infatu

"Celeste, have I ever asked anything of you?" Damon's voice lacked emotion but carried a hint of weariness.He had suffered from insomnia for too long. He finally understood Celeste's experience of waking up at midnight."I don't want things that aren't mine," Celeste insisted."You like this necklace set. Just take it as a gift from me for your return to Carlino. Is there any problem with that?" Damon patiently tried to persuade her."I said I don't want it." She didn't take his persuasion."If you don't want it, then throw it on the street." Damon returned to his usual coldness."Damon, don't be like this. I'm a married woman. It's inappropriate for me to accept gifts from another man."This line became Celeste's ultimate weapon.While Sebastian was fooling around with others, she never forgot she was a married woman. Damon only felt a headache. So, he gave a cold snort before hanging up. "Do as you please."Celeste had never used her marital status to deflect anyone durin
