Henry was sentenced to 20 years, and everyone thought he would serve his full term. He was already nearing 50 when he went to prison, and if he served the entire sentence, he would be too old to cause trouble again. No one expected him to single-handedly reduce his sentence by more than 10 years, getting out of prison after only six years.Celeste's expression immediately turned serious. "He was sentenced to 20 years of prison. How did he get out so quickly?" Megan read Celeste's mind as she asked."Your father asked around, and they said he assisted the prison in upgrading the anti-jailbreak detection system, earning two major achievements. First, his sentence was reduced by five years, then by another eight years," Megan's mother said. She reminded, "Tell Cece that Henry will want his revenge. She must be careful and not fall for it. After all, it's no surprise what this man is capable of."Celeste felt fuzzy in her heart. "Auntie, I know. I'll be careful," she quickly replied on

The first person Celeste wanted to take down was Diego. After all, Lawrence was a good friend, so it made it easier for her to gather information about Diego. After five years, Lawrence had become the head of the Radcliffe family. The Radcliffe family was managed even better than when Jonah was alive, and their reputation had skyrocketed. Celeste went to visit Lawrence immediately. She had been abroad for over four years, and the two hadn't met then. After returning to the country, Lawrence had been on an extended business trip, and they hadn't seen each other for five years.At this moment, they looked somewhat surprised when they saw each other. There was no need to explain why Lawrence was surprised. Celeste wore flats and wasn't wearing loose clothes to hide her pregnant belly, so Lawrence immediately noticed.On the other hand, Celeste noticed something different about Lawrence. In the past, Lawrence had a special place in Celeste's heart. He was born into a chaotic family but r

Celeste had someone secretly tail Diego for many days before understanding what "different from others" meant.Although Diego came from a wealthy and influential family, he had no real power or status. No precautionary measures were taken to protect him from any surveillance. Of course, it may happen in the future, but Celeste seized the opportunity for now.Based on photos and videos, Diego's suburban mansion was home to many exotic pets. Snakes, lizards, crocodiles, and various other cold-blooded animals roamed freely. Celeste felt a chill as she noticed dozens of snakes with their mouths wide open and spitting venom.Most of these animals were not kept in cages; they were allowed to roam freely, and the servants of the Radcliffe family were dressed like zookeepers and animal trainers.But what truly caught Celeste off guard was the sight of monkeys. How he cared for these monkeys would surely raise eyebrows, even among the most lenient animal rights activists.Diego gave the mo

"Okay, babe. Let's keep in touch!" Veronica made a phone call gesture to Celeste, then reluctantly followed Damon into the restaurant.This beautiful and vibrant lady had an unapproachable yet elegant face but a pleasant personality. Even Celeste would fall head over heels for her, let alone Damon.Celeste stared at Veronica's back, lost in thought. There was no way Lawrence would not notice the inexplicable look in her eyes."You two didn't interact as long as I imagined."He thought Celeste and Damon would be intertwined for the rest of their lives until the day one of them died.So, he thought Damon was Leo's father when he saw Leo's photo for the first time. When he heard that Celeste was pregnant with her second baby, he immediately assumed it was Damon's.He may have been wrong."Yeah. We could have interacted longer, but I don't want to," Celeste said absentmindedly.She pushed what was close to her away, creating an endless chasm between them.However, she felt dishear

Celeste was overseas for several years. Her mind was a blur, but she never forgot Kenny's kindness. She would prepare gifts in advance and send them over without fail during every festive and Kenny's birthday. After returning to the country, the first thing she did was visit Kenny in Marksville without delay.The two of them had always been close. Coincidentally, Celeste had regarded Kenny as her godfather. After several years of interaction, they became like father and daughter."You should have told me earlier so I could bring Leo to see you and arrange a place for you to stay. If it weren't for me attending Grandpa's birthday banquet, I wouldn't have known you were here." Celeste pouted like a child.Kenny teased, "You're the mother of two now. Stop acting like a child."Yet, he couldn't hide the contentment in his eyes and noticed Celeste's change immediately."Why aren't you asking me about this baby?" Celeste asked. Kenny was someone close to her; he knew her and Sebastian.
