Smack! Her p was loud and hard, snapping Jackson’s face sideways. The corners of his mouth were
torn open and began to bleed.
It was the second time Cecilia pped him. He lost control of his anger because he was tired of being
patient.
He screamed in rage and lunged at Cecilia, determined to perish with her.
“You sabotaged our family until we’re almost ruined. How dare you throw a tantrum!” he exploded.
A calm Cecilia kicked off her high heels. With a firm grip, she swung the heels toward the lunging
Jackson.
“There is no way to teach such a brainless idiot a lesson than to inflict pain on him repeatedly. Only
then will he remember his lesson,” she thought.
The slender, pointed heel grew infinitelyrger and closer in Jackson’s eyes.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and he was so scared that he wanted to hide, but the power he threw
forward was too great, and his body could not retreat.
Fortunately, Jonathan quickly grabbed his cor and pulled
him back.
The brothers were astonished and frightened. They were drenched in sweat. They stared at Cecilia in
disbelief.
They had never expected Cecilia to be so ruthless. If the heels hit Jackson’s face, his face would be
destroyed.
Without a target, Cecilia regretfully tossed her high heels to the ground and put them on again.
“You are no match for me. Get lost!” she said coldly.

The brothers wouldn’t have bothered to find Cecilia if they hadn’t needed her help.
Jonathan took a deep breath and tried to sound friendly.
“Ceci,e home with us,” he persuaded.
Cecilia’s smile was reeking of sarcasm and contempt.
“You deliberately ndered me during the auction to protect the reputation of Juliana and the Yancey
family. Now that things have gotten out of hand and you are the target of public criticism, do you want
me to go back and cover up the issues?” she taunted. “There is no end to your shamelessness. How
did you grow up to be so shameless? You’re so deceitful and untrustworthy!”
Jonathan pretended not to hear her sarcastic derision.
“Ceci, I understand we didn’t pay enough attention to your feelings before. I know you have suffered a
lot. It’s normal for you to have resentment in your heart. But Julia has already left the Yancey
residence. Our attention will return to you, and we won’t let you suffer any more resentment.”
After the speech, he tried to give Cecilia the emerald earrings he had bought at the auction.
“I was going to give this to Julia, but I didn’t because you seem to like it very much. Here, take it.”
It was obvious to Cecilia. The Yancey brothers were trying to tell her she should be content and grateful
because they now valued her more than Juliana.
However, Cecilia knew the Yancey family’s horrible behavior too well.
“The Yancey family will do anything for a profit!” she thought. She looked at the velvet box in front of
her. Her eyes shed with disdainful sarcasm. She sneered.
“Let me guess. You two suddenly came to me, begging like

dogs because you’re hoping I’ll cover Juliana up when the media exposed the truth of her faking her
illness, deceiving and forcing me to transfuse blood for her. Am I right?”
Cecilia continued tauntingly, “Or perhaps it’s because of my good rtionship with Christopher? Do you
think by making me happy, I will persuade him to be friends with the Yancey family instead of
staying as enemies?”
The two points she mentioned were indeed the reasons Jonathan came to Cecilia.
Yet, he was now ashamed to admit his intentions after she had spoken them so bluntly.
When he didn’t say anything, Cecilia had a grin on her face. “It will be a cold day in hell before I help
you!”
The words caused their face to turn sullen at once.
Jackson was an impulsive person. If it weren’t for Juliana, he wouldn’t have bowed his head to Cecilia.
There was no way he could control his temper after being ridiculed repeatedly.
“Cecilia, you didn’t just take the money but also the shares. You should keep Julia’s fake illness a
secret!”
“I’m not the one who’s said or done anything. It’s your good oldest brother, Jon, who exposed my
identity, which led to the public uncovering the dirty deeds of the Yancey family and Juliana.”
With that, Cecilia took out her phone and waved lightly.
“By the way, thank you for your confession. Please remember you’re also one of those who pushed
Juliana into the abyss.” Jackson was stunned. He stared at the recording interface on her phone. At
that moment, all he wanted to do was kill Cecilia.
“You are despicable!” he shouted.
“So you’re allowed to block my condo entrance and seek

trouble, but I can’t defend myself? If you don’t want to be invited to the police station for coffee, leave
now!”
She was exhausted and had no intention of wasting more time on two irrelevant people.
Jonathan nced at the yawning Cecilia. His gaze then turned to her phone, which was still recording.
He gnashed his teeth and asked, “Ceci. We’re a family and rted by blood. Do we have to fight to the
bitter end?”
“The Yancey family drew my blood more than 30 times in three years. Didn’t you lot do that to ensure
my death?”
Thest question was dripping with mockery and sarcasm. In a snap of her fingers, her expression
turned grim and
threatening.
“Get out of my way if you don’t want this recording to be posted on the Inte now!”
The two brothers were too intimidated to mess with her and left with their tails between their legs.
Cecilia turned off the recording and entered her condominium.
She was sleepy before but no longer felt drowsy after the two wretched scu**ags came seeking trouble
with her.
She sat on the couch in the living room and watched the yback of William’s livestream.
He didn’t show his face on the camera. The screen was dark. but his trembling voice was distinctive
and clear.
“I’m responsible for the serial car idents on jorden Road because I was the one who hired the
mercenaries from the ck market to murder Uncle Christopher. The mercenaries I hired have been
arrested, and the ck market has also been destroyed. But apart from me, Juliana Yancey is also an
instigator…”
The True Lady Strikes Back
In the livestream, he meticulously exined how the five instigators, including himself, paid 200
thousand dors each to ce an assassination order on the ck market to
eliminate Christopher.
He also deliberately pointed out be cajoled Juliana into the conspiracy and had her pay part of the total
amount because she wanted to kill Cecilia.
Without a pause, he even narrated how Juliana tried to seduce Christopher in the café not long ago.
William knew that he was done. Hence, he wanted to drag every person who had betrayed him down
with him.
He exposed every dirty deed of Fabian and Xenia without hiding anything after confessing how he
hired the mercenaries. for murder.
When Cecilia heard Christopher had been abused as a child, she abruptly rted this to her
experience. She felt a tug in her heartstrings.
Now, she suddenly understood why Christopher liked her.
“Maybe he empathizes with me because he feels my experience with the Yancey family was very
simr to his childhood hardships,” she thought.
Simrly, she wanted to provide warmth and help to the young Christopher of the past.
Cecilia closed the livestream window and nced at the news about Juliana.
Juliana had already fallen from her prominent socialite status to disgrace. She was now a vicious
imposter who the public would stop at nothing to tr**ple on.
Some agitatedizens had even joined forces and went to the hospital to curse at Juliana.
At this time, Juliana was so terrified that she didn’t even dare to take a step out of her ward.

She hid under the hospital nket, trembling in fear, her mind nk as she struggled to think of a way
out of this mess.
The loud ringing of the phone shattered the silence in the ward and nearly caused her to fall out of bed
in surprise.

She quickly grabbed her phone, knowing she could only receive calls from the Yancey family.
There was a glimmer of hope in her dull eyes at the realization that Jackson was the caller.
Because she knew Jackson liked her very much. He loved her, and he was willing to do anything for
her!
As Juliana thought of this, she controlled her emotions and answered his call.
“It’ste, Jack. Why haven’t you gone to bed yet? You won’t look handsome if there are dark circles
around your eyes.”
She expressed her concerns for his well-being in a rxed tone and deliberately choked back s*bs to
evoke immediate sympathy from the person she was speaking to.
Indeed, Jackson med himself for her sorrows. “Julia, I’m sorry. Cecilia doesn’t agree to help you.”
Juliana was not surprised.
But when she got Jackson’s call, she thought of a solution.
“Jack, please don’t me Ceci. We’re the ones who wronged her. Besides, she was supposed to be a
shareholder in the Yancey Corporation. There’s nothing wrong with her going back on her word. I
deserve this,” she said.
With a few so*s in between, she added, “I shouldn’t have searched the Inte for ways topete for
favors just because I was too afraid of losing you and the Yancey family. I was stu*id enough to follow
the words of the keyboard warriors and faked my illness to gain sympathy. Not only did I lie to you and
the Yancey family, but I also hurt Ceci.”

She sobbed uncontrobly after saying that, and Jackson felt his heart shattered into a thousand
pieces hearing her cry.
He hurriedlyforted her, “Julia, don’t cry. I’ve figured out a way to help you.”
