Chapter 648 Prepare Both Hands
“Certainly not!” Scarlet eximed sympathetically. “Don’t you remember? Last time, you were fooled by
Mr Lisa’s words and foolishly believed they would treat everyone equally… If Mr Lisa truly regarded you
as his family, he wouldn’t have warned you like that, and he wouldn’t have locked you up here like he
did today.”
Cecilia smiled sorrowfully. If anyone knew that she had been locked in her room for self-reflection by
Lisa…
It would be so embarrassing if it got out.
“Last time, I advised you to take advantage of their affection towards you and kick Isabe out of the
Logan family or secure the greatest benefits for yourself. Alternatively, you could have be the
most prominent woman with Mr. Mason. But you didn’t choose any of those paths. Instead, you came
up with the most useless one: to get along with Isabe and please everyone in the Logan family…”
Scarlet continued.
At this moment, Cecilia realized how foolish she had been to believe that she could genuinely be
families with Isabe…
“If only I had listened to you earlier, things wouldn’t have escted to this point. It was my
unwillingness to give up, always holding onto a glimmer of hope and believing that Lisa and the others
would truly treat me equally…”
“Ah, if they were fair, why would Mr Lisa have nted the Tibetan snow lotus, Isabe’s favourite
flower, on her balcony before he called you to the terrace for a conversation?” Scarlet interrupted.
It didn’t seem like something Mr Lisa would do at all!
If he genuinely treated them equally, why did Isabe have flowers while Cecilia had none?
Wasn’t everything he gave to Isabe supposed to be what Cecilia had owned for the past eighteen
years, such as nting flowers or giving her the four-leaf clover ne? Cecilia had never had any
of those things.
Cecilia didn’t know how long she had been crying. For the first time, she felt that her tears would never
stop flowing.
Her heart was truly broken, filled with despair.
“After all, you grew up in a small family, ignorant of the world. Even though you returned to the
wealthiest family, your poor taste in preferences hasn’t changed! Every time I see the Tibetan snow
lotus swaying on her balcony, I feel shecks taste, is shallow, and cannot meet high standards! Our
Logan family’s garden is filled with precious flowers and nts, but she has dragged down the
ssiness!” Cecilia thought the same way. Why would she like something so trashy as the Tibetan
snow lotus?
When Cecilia’s emotions calmed down, Scarlet gave her an idea.
“Cecilia, there are many online tforms now where people buy luxury items at high prices. Your closet
is filled with clothes, shoes, and bags, many of which haven’t even had their price tags removed… I’ve
calcted it, and it could be worth at least a billion.” Scarlet suggested.
Some dresses cost hundreds of thousands, and Cecilia only wore them once.
Some limited-edition handbags were worth seven to eight hundred thousand, but Cecilia carried them
once and left them to collect dust in her closet.
“If you marry Wayne in the future and have a driver for your outings, those luxury cars you own won’t
be useful. It’s better to sell them all…” Scarlet continued.
If she sold everything, she could quickly get one or two billion from luxury cars!
“And the jewellery you’ve received from childhood…”
That would be worth a lot.
Just the pink gemstone ne she received when she was born was now worth over twenty
million…
She could easily make several hundred million if she sold everything except for a few pieces of
jewellery for personal use.
“A preliminary estimate suggests that selling everything could bring in around six billion,” Scarlet
informed Cecilia, surprising her with her knowledge. Cecilia herself had not paid attention to how much
these items were worth.
“Cecilia, it’s not to dampen your spirits, but if Mr Lisa can do something like this, he might even kick you
out of the house. Rather than being left with nothing when that happens, it’s better to sell these things
now…” Scarlet warned.
With at least six billion in her bank ount and properties such as houses andmercial buildings,
her personal assets could easily exceed ten billion.
“Of course, that’s the worst-case scenario. If you obtain Mr Lisa’s forgiveness this time and continue to
stay in this family until your marriage to Wayne, you can earn another substantial dowry… Lady Logan
previously mentioned that your dowry would be more than what Cath, her elder sister, received. If you
receive around ten billion, your worth will exceed twenty billion!” Scarlet continued.
How many wealthy socialites could boast a worth of over twenty billion?
“And if Wayne also gives you some money and shares as a betrothal gift by then, just think about how
high your worth would be…”
Cecilia couldn’t even imagine!
After hearing Scarlet’s words, Cecilia’s tears seemed to freeze in her eyes, forgetting to fall. She had
never expected her assets to amount to such arge sum…
“So, we needed to find a way to continue staying in the Logan family, make the Old Lady and the
others happy, and willingly get them to spend money on buying things for you… Afterwards, we could
sell these items and make a profit, even if it was just a penny.” Previously, Cecilia had always thought
Scarlet’s idea was wrong. After all, those were things given to her by her own family from the bottom of
their hearts. It had been difficult for her to let go and sell them. However, after Lisa’s cold indifference
this time, she finally nodded. “Once this storm passes, you can help me handle it. Just be cautious.”
“Cecilia, don’t worry! Leave everything to me. You can pretend that you know nothing. If by any chance
you were discovered, I would take the me for you,” Scarlet said, looking at her with sympathy. “But
for now, you have to endure being weak. Sigh, you had never experienced this kind of humiliation
before, from childhood to
Cecilia’s eyes welled up with tears again, her nose feeling sour. “If they were heartless, don’t me me
for being unjust!”
Showing weakness was only temporary…
Even if she had to leave, she would reap all the benefits and ruin Isabe before leaving!
Seeing Cecilia finally change her attitude this time, Scarlet was ecstatic internally but kept her
composure on the surface.
“They thought Isabe and her biological daughter were talented, so they treated her like a precious
gem… Speaking of which, it was all Isabe’s fault. If she could have spoken up for you when Mr Lisa
was reprimanding you, things would have been different!”
Cecilia smirked coldly. How will Isabe speak up for her? It would have been lucky if she didn’t kick
her while she was down!
Scarlet was right. It was all Isabe’s fault. If Isabe had been easy to get along with, they could have
at least been Families!
Being ordinary families would have been better than being enemies!

“In a couple of days, Mr Lisa would be going abroad. The Heilig Family had a child who died so the Old
Lady would visit there frequently. It was the perfect opportunity to deal with Isabe…”
The Logan family members thought Isabe was so capable, right?
As long as they could discover Isabe’s ws or something that couldn’t be erased…
“But if something happened to Isabe, Lisa would be the first to suspect us…”
What if those luxury items hadn’t been sold yet, and Lisa kicked them out of the house…
“It’s not like we were going to kill her. We just wanted to give her a taste of bitterness. I would find
someone to execute it wlessly. Without evidence, Mr Lisa couldn’t unjustly use us, right?”
