Chapter 104
The car stopped in front of the main building of Emerald Mansion.
Cecilia opened the door, got out of the car, and then opened the trunk.
Felix was already awake, struggling with all his might while whining.
Looking at him wrapped in a ball, Cecilia called the bodyguard. “Take him to the secret room.”
After hearing Cecilia’s voice, Felix struggled more intensely. He thought, “The secret room sounds like
an ominous place. Will I be killed?”
Thinking of this, he tried to rip open the sheet in his mouth with his teeth and wanted to speak.
But the next second, he was being picked up by someone.
He almost peed himself out of fear due to the sudden weightlessness, and he didn’t dare to move.
Christopher waved to the bodyguard and said, “Take him downstairs and give him a quick taste of
what’s coming.”
“Yes, Mr. Christopher Forte,” the bodyguard responded.
Felix’s brain went blank all of a sudden, and he was directly stunned. He thought, “Mr. Christopher
Forte? Christopher! This man is Quilton’s Grim Reaper. Will I still survive after ending up in his hands?”
Soon, Felix was taken to the secret room.
Christopher looked at Cecilia and asked, “Do you want to watch the show now? Or do you want to ask
him questions only after

Cecilia was not interested in torture, and her gaze swept through Christopher’s wound. “I’ll help you
change your bandage first.”
Then she helped Christopher into the main building.

Christopher’s thigh was injured, so he had to take off his pants before changing the bandage. Thus,
they went straight to the bedroom.
After one experience, Cecilia was not embarrassed.
The bandage change took only ten minutes this time, including undressing and getting dressed.
Seeing that she didn’t look sideways and concentrated on putting the medicine back into the medical
kit, Christopher doubted his charm.
“Ceci, would you like to date me?”
He had been pursuing Cecilia, but he never made it clear.
After saying that, he held his breath nervously.
Cecilia paused her action of putting back the gauze into the medical kit, not knowing how to react at the
moment.
She was caught off guard by the suddenness of his confession.
Seeing Cecilia saying nothing, Christopher knew he scared her.
He also felt that he was too hasty. He thought, “I should’ve prepared for surprises and romantics before
confessing my love to her.”
Therefore, he changed the topic to ease the awkwardness. “Ceci, pretend that I didn’t say anything.
Let’s go to the secret room.”
Cecilia nodded/ After putting the medicine kit back in place, she supported Christopher to take the
elevator.
When they arrived in the living room on the first floor, she

relationships, I want to let nature take its course and wait for the right time. We can kiss, sleep together,
and get married.”
She valued affection, not the superficial title of being a girlfriend or a fiancée.
Christopher understood what Cecilia meant.
She was willing to date him, do intimate things with him, and spend the rest of her life with him.
He was even more overjoyed at this answer than having Cecilia accept his confession.
He looked at Cecilia affectionately and said seriously, “Ceci, I’ll let nature take its course and spend the
rest of my life with you.” Then, they went to the secret room inside the utility room.
Felix was a coward who was only strong on the outside.
When he felt that no one could capture him, he was arrogant and did many wrongdoings.
But now, the bodyguard didn’t even “serve” him much. Yet, he already confessed everything.
Of course, what he said was not the real situation, but a rhetoric discussed with Juliana before. He Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
said, “Juliana and I have an employment relationship. She gives me money, and I help her. Every
injustice has its perpetrator. You can find her.”
Looking at the text message Juliana sent him on Felix’s phone, Cecilia felt that things weren’t as
simple.
Cecilia asked, “How many things have you done for Juliana? Make it clear one by one!”
Felix chose a few unimportant things to tell Cecilia.
There was no mention of setting Cecilia up at Yates Corporation’s karaoke lounge, or the car accident

Cecilia looked at Felix coldly and sneered, “Do you think I’m easy to fool? If you don’t tell me the truth,
you will suffer!” The moment she finished speaking, her fist landed on Felix’s temple.
She deviated her angle slightly. It would not kill Felix, but it would hurt him so much.
“Ah!” Felix’s eyes darkened, and there seemed to be an electric drill in his head, which made him feel
worse than death.
The scream echoed back and forth in the narrow secret room, making Cecilia’s ears hurt.
Christopher gave the bodyguard a look.
The bodyguard knew what Christopher meant and immediately stepped forward to choke Felix’s neck,
allowing Felix to breathe barely but couldn’t make a sound.
Felix was shrouded in the shadow of death and couldn’t help trembling. The next second, he wet his
pants.
The foul smell made Cecilia frown, and she ordered the bodyguard, “Rinse him.”
With that, she helped Christopher out of the secret room.
As for what she meant by rinsing Felix, it wasn’t to give him a shower but to use a high-pressure water
gun to flush him.
Felix was hit by a strong water gun and rolled several times on the bl**dy ground before stopping
against the wall.
He wanted to beg for mercy, but a lot of water was poured into his nose and mouth, which almost
choked him until he suffocated.
After a long time, the torture finally ended.
He lay on the ground like a pool of mud, coughing violently,
and his face turned red
Cecilia stepped on the wet ground and slowly walked toward Felix.
Every step she took was like stepping on Felix’s heart, which made him nervous and difficult to
breathe.
A pair of white shoes stopped in front of him.
Cecilia looked down at him condescendingly and said, “If you don’t want to feel the same pain that was
worse than death like just now, just tell me the truth honestly. I’m an impatient person.”
The cold warning pierced into Felix’s ear and made him feel chilly all over. He knew that if he didn’t tell
her some real stuff, he would definitely die here today.
“Okay, I’ll tell you.” Without the slightest bit of hesitation, he said a lot without holding anything back.
Not only the setup at the karaoke lounge, the car accident, and the assassination yesterday morning,
but also Cecilia’s kidnapping.
And how Juliana set up Kenton, using the favor of saving his life to make him do things for her.
Cecilia asked, “Is there any evidence of what you said?”
Felix said too much, and his throat hurt a little. After clearing his throat, he shook his head and said,
“No. The evidence will be bad for me. I haven’t kept it.”
Christopher raised Felix’s chin with his toes, and his gaze was sharp. “If you lie, this same date next
year will be your death anniversary.”
With a pale face, Felix shook his head vigorously. “I really have no evidence. Mr. Christopher Forte, if
you don’t believe me, you can kill me.”

Seeing that Felix didn’t seem to be lying, Christopher withdrew his foot. “Tell me about Juliana’s
kidnapping case.”
Felix wanted to lie subconsciously, so Christopher added, “As long as I send you into the police station
and let those three see that you are arrested, they will definitely cover you up.”
Hearing this, Felix didn’t dare to take a risk anymore. “I
conspired with Juliana to frame Cecilia and extort money from the Yancey family.”
Cecilia asked in surprise, “Since you are partners, why would she be bullied by the gangsters?”
“Because I was greedy for money and wanted to take the 200 million dollars, and the way to make
Juliana shut up was to ruin her and record a video. But unexpectedly, she was
photographed by the journalist, and the police also took away the video.”
What he said was highly convincing. After all, after Felix got the money, he ran to Dark Rose and
squandered it.
But Cecilia felt that Juliana and the man in front of her were more than just an employment relationship.
“Why does Juliana trust you so much? What is the relationship between you and her?”
