<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Vivian nodded. “Yes. They were incredibly arrogant. Even thinking about it now makes me furious.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia picked up her phone, dialed a number, and the nearby bodyguard answered.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Vivian heard Cecilia instructing the bodyguard over the phone, demanding that they iste those individuals and give them a thorough beating.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“What are you doing?” Vivian hadn’t quite understood yet.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">It wasn’t until the driver started the vehicle and took them to a secluded spot that Vivian noticed that the people who shoved her earlier were all cornered and getting a severe beating.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Vivian was shocked. “Ceci, this…”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I’m fine if they bully me, but I can’t stand them messing with you,” stated Cecilia.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Moved, Vivian embraced Cecilia tightly. “Ceci, you’re so wonderful. You’re my true love.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia smiled. “Dummy, you’re my best friend. You’ve always had my back. Of course, I’m going to have yours, too.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She was no longer the penniless Cecilia of the past. At the present time, she had money, and so dealing with those despicable people was a simple task.</font></font>N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Vivian nodded repeatedly, “Yes. Our love is mutual.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“All right, let’s go,” said Cecilia.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After venting that frustration, Cecilia and Vivian finally returned to the Smith residence.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After Jonathan and Elliot returned, they found it odd that they hadn’t encountered Cecilia and Vivian yet.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot was worried. “Did Nichs tattle to Mommy and the others?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jonathan was also unsure. “I don’t think so. He promised us. He wouldn’t go back on his word.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Don’t be so sure,” Elliot said, fear welling in his heart. “What if he’s a schemer, using us to earn favor with our mommy?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Previously, when he had sneaked out and waster discovered by Cecilia, Cecilia was furious</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Ever since that incident, he was particrly fearful whenever Cecilia got angry.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">On the surface, Jonathan appeared calm, but internally he was quite scared.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Both children were quite flustered, fearing that Cecilia would discover they had secretly attended the funeral.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Finally, they heard a conversation between Cecilia and Vivian from the doorway.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“They’re back.” Immediately, Elliot stood up, appearing ready to be disciplined.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Yeah. I’m back.” Cecilia thought it was odd her children were standing straight Are you two hungry?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot and Jonathan both shook their heads. “No.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Why are you two standing here like you’re being punished? Have you two been up to some mischief?” Vivian asked casually.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The two children shivered slightly.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jonathan furrowed his brow. Are we really discovered? “Ms. Kennedy, don’t talk nonsense.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Vivian stepped forward, pinched his little face, and said. “I was just joking around. Why so serious?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon realizing they hadn’t been discovered, Jonathan and Elliot were relieved.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Only then did they return to their own room.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Vivian sat on the couch. “They seemed a bit odd today</font></font>
“Maybe that’s just how kids are.” Cecilia didn’t give it much thought, taking a seat beside her.
Vivian pulled out her phone. “Cassandra’s matter should be trending, right? There’s no way it won’t when she refused to acknowledge her biological mother and only ever talked about her stepmother.”
She searched the inte and discovered no news regarding that matter. “How could there be nothing at all?”
Cecilia had expected that “Queenie and the Evans family would never let any negative news about Cassandra leak out
Apart from the previous incident where Cassandra used Cecilia of giarizing Cecille’s work, she had suffered almost no negative public opinion. That was all thanks to the Jamieson family.
Cecilia still remembered how news of Cassandra’s usation being exposed had be almost non- existent.
That demonstrated the formidable influence of the Jamieson family.
