Desmond clenched his fists tightly, and his teeth chattered. At that moment, he was genuinely embarrassed by a nephew he had always looked down on. It felt as if Desmond's face had been splashed with dirty water.

However, Desmond did not want to show his weakness in front of Laura and his sister. Where would he put his face if that happened? He regained his composure, rubbed his chin, and nodded.

“It seems that the smart city project proposed by our company has indeed caught the attention of the president of Phoenix Crest Group. Regardless of who visits his office, he will definitely sign the cooperation agreement,” Desmond said in as calm a tone as possible.

Matthew and Susan nodded.

“Laura, don’t be too arrogant! What you got this time was just a coincidence! You came when Mr. Lancaster had already finished signing it. If you had come earlier, you wouldn’t have gotten this opportunity. Mr. Lancaster would have given it to me!” Susan insisted.

    In the next room, Robb saw Celine slowly open her eyes, and he immediately panicked. "Bad news, Miss Graham is waking up! She's been hypnotized all this time. You have to be the first person she sees when she wakes up!"Paul panicked too and quickly ran out of the room before rushing into the room where Celine and Danny were. Like a rampaging bull, he knocked Danny down and bent over in front of Celine."Damn it!" Danny fell to the floor.Although he could defeat Paul, his body was much heavier than Danny's. At that moment, Celine was still a little dazed after waking up and opening her eyes. She rubbed her eyes repeatedly in a cute way, like a teenage girl.When her vision slowly cleared, the first person she saw was Paul."Paul..." Celine called out to him with affection and familiarity. Compared to before, her tone and attitude towards Paul were clearly much softer.This surprised Danny quite a bit. Previously, Celine had spoken in a rather stiff tone. However, now she sounded very

    Danny said, "Okay, I'll try this bubble bath. By the way, I see there's red wine and a Bluetooth speaker here. Does Celine usually drink wine and listen to music when she takes a bath?"Sally nodded and said, "Yes, she likes to listen to music when she takes a bath."Danny asked again, "What's her favorite song?""Need You Now by Lady Antebellum, and many more. I'll set up a playlist for you later," replied Sally."Okay." "I won't bother you any longer, then. I'll be leaving now. Call me if you need anything.""Okay, thank you."After Sally left, Danny started showering in the million-dollar bathtub and imagined how Celine felt when she showered in the past. Danny couldn't help but pick up a glass of red wine and take a sip before connecting his Bluetooth speaker and playing Lauren's favorite song, "Need You Now." Danny had never heard the song before. However, he was immediately drawn to it. "Hmm, what a great love song!"At that moment, Danny felt he had seriously underestimated th

    "All right." Gabriel did not refuse Danny's request and took him to his private treatment room.At that moment, Celine was lying on the sofa with her eyes closed, but she was not asleep. Instead, she was hypnotized.Gabriel walked closer and said to Celine, "Danny is here to see you."Gabriel then said to Danny, "You can hold her hand."Danny walked closer, finding this scene very impressive as well, as he slowly reached for Celine's fingers.Celine said softly, "Danny... hug me..."Celine's words made Danny feel very awkward.Gabriel explained the situation to Danny, "She can't distinguish between reality and the world of illusion. Don't mind her. When she wakes up, it's best not to mention it, so she won't feel embarrassed. "" Okay." Danny finally understood why Celine liked him so much. It turned out that over the years, she would go to see Gabriel for consciousness manipulation, and in the illusory world, she had gone on countless dates with Danny and hugged him numerous times.B

    Paul threatened Dr. Ross and tried his best to create a scene in which Paul became the hero who saved the girl in distress from Danny, the pervert, who eventually ran away.The initial intention was to make Celine thank Paul while insulting Danny. However, after Danny was hit by Paul, Celine was worried about whether Danny was hurt.It was not the stereotypical ending of a hero saving a girl in distress. For over an hour after that, Paul continued to manipulate Celine's consciousness, creating many scenes and stories. As before, they all negated Danny's perfect image and portrayed Paul as the ideal man.When the sand in the hourglass had run to the bottom, Gabriel put Celine to bed, then took a cup of water to the next room, where Paul was. After talking for over an hour, Gabriel felt thirsty and drank. Then he said to Paul, "Mr. Hudson, as you can see, Miss Graham is rather disgusted with you, while her feelings for Danny are deeply rooted in her heart."This was a typical sign becau

  • 430. Hypnotherapy

    "Are you going to manipulate my consciousness again?" Celine said calmly, without fear or disgust toward Dr Ross's hypnosis and manipulation of consciousness.Instead, there was a hint of enthusiasm and anticipation that was not noticeable amid her calmness. Not just anyone is willing to be guided or manipulated. It has to be someone like Celine who has experienced significant trauma and lived an unfortunate life.Celine couldn't be with the person she loved in real life, so she would want to immerse herself in an illusory world where she could be with Danny and find happiness. Gabriel nodded and said, "It might take a little longer this time. Do you want to call someone at home to let them know? "" Okay." Celine took her cell phone and called the maid at her house to explain so that she would take care of Cheryl. After that, Gabriel made a cup of coffee mixed with drugs for Celine, which would put the patient in a hypnotic state and make it difficult for her to come out of it.Then

    After hearing Gabriel's story, Paul was furious, like a raging bull.Bugh!Paul broke one leg of the mahogany chair, which was worth more than $15,000, by kicking it.Brak!With just one hand, Paul pushed the gold-plated teapot and teacups on the table onto the floor, causing them to break and spill tea. Seeing Paul's anger, Robb immediately ran forward to calm him down."Mr. Hudson, calm down! It's not worth getting angry over a woman like that!""Mr. Hudson, you should stay away from women like Celine who have such illnesses. Danny Lancester is the only one in the world who can be close to her. Mr. Hudson, you must not marry her! "" If you go on a long business trip after marrying her and don't return for more than half a month, she may feel lonely and bored at home alone, and go to Danny Lancester to relieve her loneliness.
