“The truth was, back then, you deliberately led me toward Janice who happened to be passing by.
But Janice simply ignored us and walked away. Yet, you told me we might have been recognized,
that she might report us. I believed you and ran away desperately with you. But the reality was that
you never intended to elope with me. You were too embarrassed to admit your retreat, and you
wanted to pin the me on someone else to stop yourself. You regretted your decision even before
we set off. You staged your disappearance at home, hoping the nanny would notice. But when there
was no news, you pulled this stunt when you saw Janice.”
Cody’s pupils constricted, looking as if he was about to stop her.

However, Cecilia didn’t give him a chance to respond. She continued, “From start to finish, I was the
one who truly followed you. But all you cared about was holding on to your privileged lifestyle.”
“No, that’s not it. It was Janice who wanted me. She deliberately stopped our elopement… It was
her…”
“What are you talking about? I didn’t even know you in high school!” Janice finally eximed in
shock and
anger.
So, what Cody meant was that she was the one who started it all.
Ceciliaughed, saying, “Janice, there’s no point in arguing. He’ll never admit to being such a
despicable coward. One of the reasons he treated you so badly in college was to cover up his own
disgrace. He pretended that you really did betray us and was keeping us apart. That’s why he was
able to treat you so harshly without any guilt.”
Janice began to tremble, not from the justifiable anger toward her mother and brother, but from the
inexplicable malice that made her feel sick to her stomach. Was it just by sheer coincidence that
she happened to pass by that she had to endure all this?
It was all too revolting.
Whispers began to circte amongst the crowd, expressing their surprise that Cody was even less
of a man than they had initially thought. They found his behavior utterly despicable.
“No, what I’m saying is the truth.” Cody still refused to admit. “It’s not that I’ve let you down, but
you’ve let me down, I-”
Yet, Cecilia retorted, “Let me ask you, if you truly wanted to leave, couldn’t you havee to find
me a few dayster, or contacted me by phone? You seem to have assumed that everything about
the future was decided on that day. You couldn’t have tried again since you’ve failed. Do you think
I’m a fool? Your actions have clearly shown that you never intended to elope with me in the first
ce. So, what right do you have now to me me for ying both sides?”
At this point, Cody hadpletely lost all his strength, after all, hisst shred of dignity had been
stripped away.
His despicable and ugly thoughts werepletely exposed, leaving him with no confidence to
argue or question anymore.
“All I wanted was to live a luxurious life. I weaved between the two of you purposefully because
neither of you could be trusted. I chose the most secure path, yet both of you were useless, nothing
more than wastes of space!”

D*mn, she surprises me. I used to think Cecilia was just after stealing men, always scheming. But
who would have thought… she’s not obsessed with love at all! This woman is ruthless; when she
said she would expose everything, she really meant everything. She even dug deeper than I did!
Upon hearing this heartfelt confession, the Quirk family, too, shared the same sentiment. They
couldn’t shake off the feeling that she was now fearless, undeterred by heaven or earth. Indeed, it
was those who had nothing to lose that were the most terrifying.
Janice looked at Cody, her distaste for the man had grown to the point of numbness. She felt that
even getting angry with him was a waste of energy.
Seeing one after another being yed by Cecilia like this, Janice felt that it was a form of retribution
in its
own way.
Eric patted his beloved daughter’s head and said, “Don’t dwell on it, don’t take it to heart. It’s all just
ugly stuff. Your dad’s keeping track for you. Not a single thing will be overlooked, I’ll make sure
everything is ounted for.”
No sooner had he finished speaking, than Eric’s phone began to vibrate. He was holding Joanna
with one hand and didn’t want to answer, but the phone kept vibrating, so he eventually took a look.
Upon seeing the messages, his sharp eyes narrowed. He quickly typed a few responses with one
hand and then stared coldly at the stunned Joanna.
The buzz about the love triangle continued to circte in the surroundings.
Both Cody and Dn couldn’t help but re at Cecilia in anger, their eyes seemingly promising that
they wouldn’t let her off the hook.
But Cecilia didn’t care. After all, all her ns had fallen through. What else did she have to lose?
