    Chapter 60


    Technically, after the suspects were detained, they could not meet with the victims.


    However, the police had done Christopher a favor and agreed to let them meet with theirwyers


    present.


    However, it was a littlete now. Cecilia couldn’t find awyer on this short notice.


    Just when she decided to see Devon the next day, Christopher said, “I’m awyer.”


    Although he didn’t take hiswyer’s ID card with him, the police could check it.


    Not long after, Cecilia and Christopher met Devon in the infirmary of the police station.


    Devon was lying on the narrow hospital bed with a pale face. His body under the thin nket was


    wrapped in bandages.


    Although he was not seriously injured, his back had been stabbed by the ss bottle shards pretty


    badly. It would take at least a week for him to recuperate.


    Devon only knew that Cecilia woulde to see him, but he didn’t know Christopher would go with her


    as well.


    When Devon suddenly saw the man he feared, he was so scared that he fell off the hospital bed. His


    wound that had just been bandaged burst open and the bandages were dyed red.


    In a trembling voice, he cried, “This is the police station. You can’t kill me!”


    As Christopher looked at Devon coldly, his thin lips curled into


    a sneer.


    “Don’t worry. I won’t kill you.”


    Just as Devon’s heart rxed, he heard Christopher add, “I will


    Tie Trus Lady Strikes Back


    make your life a living hell.”


    He calmly stated these words without any anger in his tone or expression.


    Scared witless, Devon screamed, “Someone, help!”


    Hiswyer mustered the courage and said, “Mr. Forte, this is the police station. Please be careful what


    you say. Even suspects also have their rights.”


    Christopher looked at thewyer of Langdon Corporation and said in a cold tone, “What can you do if I


    don’t care?”


    Of course, thewyer didn’t dare to do anything. He was also extremely scared.


    Thewyer was afraid that Christopher would involve him when thetter retaliated.


    As a result, he was already considering leaving the Langdon Corporation.


    Cecilia felt a headache caused by Devon’s screaming and scolded, “Shut up. We’ll leave as soon as


    we ask you some questions.”


    Devon’s words were like a soothing agent, calming Devon down from his state of panic.


    “Go ahead. Ask me. I’ll tell you anything.”


    He bitterly regretted his actions. As they had said, it was dangerous to be blinded by beauty. He


    believed that saying


    now.


    If he didn’t mess with Cecilia, it wouldn’t be like this.


    Cecilia couldn’t be bothered about Devon’s regret and said, “You should have guessed that you were


    set up.”


    After Devon knew that someone had used him of drugging Cecilia and arranged for someone to


    sleep with her, he knew he was being used.


    But he couldn’t figure out who it was to prove his innocence.

    Hearing what Cecilia said, Devon almost cried with joy.


    “Cecília, trust me. I only asked Nius to take you to the private room and teach you a lesson. I have


    nothing to do with the other things.


    “Then tell us more about the process from when you left the private room to when you saw Nius.”


    Devon calmed herself down and recounted the details.


    carefully,


    “That time, I left the private room, feeling angry. I was so angry that I cursed Cecilia after I was sent to


    the infirmary by a server. Then I heard someone talking. A man said the best way to make a woman


    obedient was to sleep with her until she submitted. When I exited the infirmary, I met Nius, and you


    know the rest.”


    After saying that, Devon suddenly realized something. “Oh! I know now! The man who spoke


    deliberately misled me!”


    “Who’s the man?”


    “I don’t know. The infirmary’s door was closed then, and I only heard what he said but did not see his


    face.”


    Christopher, who had been silent all the time, said, “We can check the surveince video.”


    When Devon subconsciously wanted to agree to his suggestion, Christopher added, “But, the man


    came prepared. I don’t think we can find anything.”


    After saying that, he looked at Devon and dered, “After tomorrow, the Langdon Corporation will fall.


    There will be no ce for you, the Langdon family, to belong in Quilton!”


    Then he pulled Cecilia and walked away.


    Devon stared at their retreating backs nkly and couldn’t think.


    After a while, he broke down, and his crying could be heard


    from the infirmary.


    Meanwhile, Cecilia and Christopher didn’t leave the police station but went to see Nius again.


    However, they couldn’t get anything out of him.


    Even if Christopher threatened him, Nius just used professional etiquette as an excuse and drove


    them away.


    “Since you don’t want to cooperate, enjoy your life in prison.”


    After saying that, Christopher and Cecilia left the police station.


    It was already early in the morning, and the heat from summer hadpletely disappeared.


    As the night breeze blew on bare skin, it felt slightly cool.


    Instead of getting into Christopher’s car immediately, Cecilia leaned against the door and took out her


    phone to make a call.


    She called Juliana.


    The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered it until it hung up automatically.


    However, she knew that Juliana was still awake and was still waiting for the news from the police


    station.


    When Christopher saw Cecilia ready to continue calling, he stopped her. “I’ll do it.”


    So, Christopher dialed Juliana’s number after doing something on his phone.


    To Juliana, it was not Christopher but Kenton who called her.


    Looking at the caller ID on her phone screen, her heart ski**ed a beat, but she didn’t answer.


    She thought, “Why is Kenton calling me at this time? Something is wrong. Did Cecilia find out about


    Kenton and get him arrested? Otherwise, they wouldn’t have called me one after the other!”.


    The True Lady Sutkes Pack


    At that thought, Juliana turned off her phone directly. Since Christopher couldn’t call Juliana as well, he


    looked at Cecilia and asked for her opinion, “What do you think about getting Kenton arrested and


    interrogating him?”


    Cecilia got up and opened the car door. “Let’s go directly to the hospital and find Juliana.”


    Cecilia thought, “Trying to avoid me? No way in hell!”


    Christopher got in the car and ordered the driver, “Go to Central Hospital.”


    “Yes, Mr. Christopher Forte.”


    Few/vehicles were on the street, but sideways were brightly lit, and pedestrians came and went on both


    sides.


    Barbeque stalls were everywhere, serving tourists from all over the world.


    After all that work the whole night, Cecilia was tired and hungry, and her stomach rumbled.


    Christopher smiled and said to the driver, “Find a ce nearby. to stop.”


    Cecilia looked at Christopher and asked in surprise, “Do you want to eat from a street food vendor?”


    She couldn’t imagine Quilton’s richest man in a suit sitting on a stic stool by the roadside, drinking


    beer and having barbeque.

    “I remembered you craved some barbequest time, so we should try it since we’re here.”


    Cecilia didn’t expect Christopher would want to eat from a street food vendor because of her.


    She looked at the gown she was wearing and refused, “Forget it. Next time.”


    “My gown is too eye-catching. If I had my barbeque in this, I would undoubtedly be stared at,” she


    reasoned inwardly.


    The True Lady Strikes Back


    Christopher noticed Cecilia’s concern and said, “Let the driver buy it for uster. We can eat in the car.”


    Cecilia was a little hungry, so she nodded.


    The car stopped not far away, and the driver bought some barbeque.


    While waiting, Christopher checked the surveince cameras near Yates Corporation’s karaoke


    lounge’s infirmary.


    As he had guessed, the man who manipted Devon had worn a cap and deliberately avoided the


    surveince cameras.


    Therefore, he decided to target Kenton.


    He thought, “No matter if he is the one hurting C
