Celeste wasn't sure if it was an illusion. However, as soon as those words came out of her mouth, she sensed a lingering chill in the air."I know it's embarrassing to contradict myself after saying I don't want anything. But I'm still a victim, after all …"Celeste noticed the displeasure on Damon's face. Thus, she quickly softened her tone."Tell me your conditions, then," Damon commented patiently.He thought Celeste should be grateful for the injury on her face. If it weren't because he sympathized with her, he would have flown into a rage already."Um … I heard Henry plans to participate in a bidding process. Can you help me sabotage the Campbell family's chances in the bid?"Of course, don't feel pressured. If it's truly inconvenient, I'll think of another way …"As Celeste spoke, her confidence dwindled with each word. In the end, her voice grew softer."Celeste, is there someone else you like?" Danom asked, staring right into her eyes.His gaze was piercing as he wante

Celeste had always been a woman of few words. But this time, she was surprisingly talkative. Thus, Megan instantly sensed that she was in love."When did you ever behave like this? Something's not right," Megan said matter-of-factly.Upon hearing those words, Celeste answered somewhat awkwardly, "I don't think so.""You're the kind of person who would easily devote yourself entirely to something. You don't even care about the consequences or consider the toll it takes."At that point, Megan's tone became serious. Although she did not understand Damon as an individual, she was aware of Celeste's infatuation and stubbornness.She continued, "It's best if you can spend your whole life with Damon. I just hope that if something happens, you don't hurt yourself because of it.""Megan, the only reason I approached him is to seek revenge. I know my limits," Celeste responded with waning confidence.Uncertain about her feelings for Damon, she even considered that falling in love with som

When Damon and Celeste arrived at Davidson Hospital, Caleb had completed the pre-surgery preparations. At that point, he was already in the operating room."Family member, please sign here. It's better to do the heart transplant as soon as possible," Nicholas stated as he approached them.He skipped the pleasantries and immediately handed the surgical risk disclosure form to Celeste.Celeste's hand trembled violently. She could neither read the contents of the form nor write. Then, she took a deep breath, trying to compose herself.At that moment, Damon's hand enveloped hers as he helped her sign the form."He'll be fine. Trust me," he said in a low voice."Okay."There was a slight nasal tone in Celeste's voice. Seeing her in such a vulnerable state tugged at his heartstrings.Caleb's surgery lasted for over four hours. During that time, Celeste waited outside without moving.Damon could not bear to watch any longer. He took her to a chair outside the operating room before gi

The following morning, Damon had someone prepare their outfits.He wore a classically designed Irethian-style bespoke suit in silver-gray. Damon paired it with a navy blue tie and handmade leather shoes, showing his exceptional taste.On the other hand, Celeste was dressed in a navy blue strapless gown with black high heels, complementing his look as a couple.The navy blue dress accentuated the freshness and elegance of her fair, flawless skin.Damon looked at Celeste. Suddenly, he handed her a box, saying, "Put this on."She opened it with confusion. In the next second, her eyes widened in disbelief.It was the recently auctioned gem from Christie's Auction House—the pink diamond bracelet!With her expert insight, Celeste was knowledgeable about the prices and quality of jewelry.Although she didn't pay much attention to the auction, she could still guess the closing price of the bracelet made of ten pink diamonds, each weighing ten carats."T-This is too expensive.

"Back in the day, Danny and I used to play around here a lot," Leah said as she strolled alongside Celeste by the Bishop family's artificial lake. Her voice carried a gentle undertone."We would often play by the lake. One time, Danny wasn't watching me, and I accidentally fell into the water."He was so frantic, crying on the shore. The butler had to come and rescue me."Because of that incident, Mrs. Bishop made Danny kneel for an entire day and wouldn't let him eat."Danny lost his father at a young age. Since our family had no boys, my father treated Danny like his own son, stepping up as a male figure whenever he needed one."Of course, Danny was quite the protector. He got into plenty of fights at school to defend me."As they walked, Leah continued sharing her history with Damon."The night before I married Robin, I spent the whole night in tears with Danny.
