Chapter 1075


    Cecilia was confined to the car, unable to do anything.


    She was embarrassed and wanted to apologize to Albert, but Sue had already rolled up the car


    window, and the driver had locked it.


    Cecilia could onlyply as Sue guided her, heading slowly toward the Jarvis family residence.


    As the car drove away, the momentum tossed some of the money further into the air. Despite the biting


    winter wind and the money swirling around, Albert remained rooted in ce, unmoving.


    He just stood there, staring nkly as the car moved farther away. Having worked in the Fulcher family


    for so many years, he wasn’t an inexperienced man.


    That license te number…looked far from ordinary.


    Cecilia told him that she liked Noel before her mother arrived. Albert wondered if that was why he


    hadn’t been able to contact his son these past few days.


    Noel… He probably knew his ce.


    The Carter family couldn’t match up to a wealthy youngdy like Cecilia.


    The car finally disappeared from Albert’s view.


    After a long time, he stretched his somewhat stiff body, then slowly andboriously bent down. He


    painstakingly removed the dirt from the bills, counting them one by one, and then bundled them into


    tens.


    One hundred thousand.


    For taking care of Cecilia for three days, he was given one hundred thousand dors.


    Albert looked at the money, and smiled bitterly. The thought of his son, who was now missing, weighed


    heavily on his heart.


    “Mom,” Cecilia said with furrowed brows. She kept looking back, hoping to catch another glimpse of


    Albert. However, as the car continued to drive farther away, it was clear that they were leaving his


    vicinity behind.


    Cecilia was currently quite upset. “How can you act like this? If


    Sue nced at Cecilia, and her smiling countenance slowly turned cold. “What have I done now?


    You’re bing more and more unreasonable!”


    Sue initially thought Cecilia had ovee a major crisis, stabilized her condition, and secured an


    engagement with Julian. As a parent, she could finally rest easy.


    And yet, what was the result?


    Cecilia ran off to the countryside all by herself!


    She even used the Jarvis family’s connections to look for


    Julian’s assistant without Sue’s knowledge. She only knew, thanks to someone else identally


    revealing the secret before her.


    “What happened between you and Julian?” Sue questioned with growing frustration. “Did you have a


    difficult time while staying with him?”


    Cecilia, ustomed to her mother, understood every nuance in Sue’s expressions and actions. She


    clung to her mother’s arm, trying to raise Sue’s mood.


    She rubbed Sue’s shoulder and said sweetly, “Mommy, my illness is basically under control now. As


    long as there are no major triggers, I won’t have any rpses. Do you think I could be mistreated or


    unhappy at the Fulchers?”


    This implied that Julian had taken good care of her.


    Sue’splexion softened slightly. She took her daughter’s hand and patted it. When she touched


    Cecilia’s fingers, she could feel the overly sticky residue of roasted sweet potato flesh.


    Sue lowered her head to look, only to find that Cecilia’s hand still had some ashes on it.

    “Is this how I taught you to behave?” she chided.


    Cecilia was momentarily stunned. She immediately took a tissue from the car to wipe her hand clean.


    She wasn’t sure why, but she suddenly found doing so annoying. It was strange, as she was used to


    behaving this way and obsessing about hygiene before.
