The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher)

Chapter 106

Bernard looked at the message that was full of tension and quickly called Felix.

Felix was his only son. He was still counting on Felix to take care of him in his old age and would not let

anything happen to the latter.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

He began to panic and called Juliana again.

Yet, a mechanical voice came from the phone, saying, “The number you have dialed is not in service.”

Hearing that, he knew Juliana had blocked his number. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

It made Bernard panic completely. He hurriedly unblocked the number he had just blocked earlier and

called it.

Back in the hospital, Juliana was waiting for his call.

After answering the call, she resisted the urge to curse and went straight to the point.

“Call the police immediately, and tell them you haven’t been able to reach Felix for days.”

Bernard trembled as he spoke. “Julia, is it true that Cecelia and someone have captured your brother

as you mentioned just now? Is he going to be okay?”

He knew Cecilia because she was the unlucky person whom her daughter had replaced.

Seeing that Bernard couldn’t get the point, Juliana was so angry that she almost had a heart attack.

“If you keep talking, I can tell you that you will lose your son soon. Call the police quickly, and don’t

contact me anymore. Do

“Understood.”

After hanging up the phone, Bernard called the police.

He made it sound very serious as if Felix would be killed in the next second.

Seeing that he was very anxious and his speech was incoherent, the police officer recorded Felix’s

disappearance.

“Sir, can you give us some clues? It’ll help us find your son sooner.”

Bernard remembered Juliana’s words and did not dare to say anything more.

“I knew that my son is in Quilton, and he occasionally hangs out with shady men. He might have been

influenced negatively, provoked the wrong person, and been captured.”

The police officer was rendered speechless. “Sir, you don’t know anything. How can you be sure that

he has been captured?”

He thought Bernard had made it sound very serious earlier but was actually making up a story.

Bernard did not know how to explain it. He was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, and he

roared directly, “I know something must have happened to him. Otherwise, why didn’t he answer my

phone? Go and find him before it’s too late!”

The police officer was checking Felix’s call history and was even more speechless toward Bernard’s

words.

“Sir, a call was made on Felix’s phone ten minutes ago, and his phone has not been switched off. The

probability of something happening to him is very low. Except for special circumstances, it takes 48

hours to file a missing person’s case.”

“Just because there was a call doesn’t mean that my son was the one who answered it. Do you not

want to file a case and save my

He would have blurted there was a collusion between officials and businessmen if he hadn’t kept his

wits about him.

“I have filed a case, and we will investigate it later. Please note that if you make a false report and

waste police resources, you will be subject to legal liability.”

Bernard was not afraid of being arrested as long as Felix was fine.

“If I make a false report, you can just take me to jail.”

Now that Bernard had put it that way, the police officer

requested, “Please come to the police station in person. We need your signature.”

“Sure. I’ll be right there. Please start the investigation first.”

After ending the call, the police officer called Felix’s number. Since the police officer was using the

landline of the police station, there would be a prompt on the caller ID. Seeing the incoming call, Cecilia

could tell that Juliana was utterly panicked and wanted the police to take Felix away. She looked at

Christopher and asked, “Should I answer it?” “Yes. We almost know everything we should know. Felix

has done so many illegal things. It’s more appropriate to hand him over to the police.”

Cecilia nodded and picked up the phone. “Hello, I want to make a police report.”

Momentarily stunned, the police officer asked, “May I ask who you are? How could Felix’s phone be

with you? And why did you want to make a police report?”

“I’m Cecilia Yancey. I asked Felix over to ask him something and found that he had been committing

crimes all the time later. I was about to call the police and didn’t expect you to call him

“”

There were a lot of cases about Cecilia, and she was also suspected of Juliana’s kidnapping. Naturally,

the police officer knew her.

The police officer was somewhat confused and wanted to find out the truth from Felix in person.

“Ms. Yancey, where is Felix now?”

“Emerald Mansion.”

“All right. We’ll be there in half an hour.”

After hanging up the phone, Cecilia went to the secret room again.

Felix was like a frightened bird now. Any sound could make him tremble in fear.

When the door was opened, he looked over in horror.

Seeing that it was Cecilia, he became even more scared. “Murdering is against the law. If you let me

go, I will never call the police and will even help you deal with Juliana.”

Cecilia threw Felix’s phone toward his front and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t kill you. The police will take

you away soon.” Felix almost cried with joy.

In his opinion, the police station was much safer than Christopher’s place.

And as long as he insisted he had been forced to say those words, it could not be used as evidence.

On top of that, he had hardly left any evidence behind what he had done. Even if the police could find

some clues, he wouldn’t be imprisoned for long.

Cecilia had a panoramic view of the joy on Felix’s face.

She crouched down and looked at him in mockery. “I took your

soon.”

When Felix heard that, his expression stiffened, and he couldn’t hide the panic in his eyes.

“I-I have nothing to do with Juliana.”

His words were completely unconvincing.

Cecilia did not reply to Felix but added, “You did so many dirty things for Juliana and made her lose her

innocence. I wonder if she will get someone to end you at the police station to prevent you from talking

nonsense after she knew that you were arrested by the police.”

Felix replied inwardly, “Of course she will!”

Felix knew Juliana too well. She was an ultimate egoist who would try to get rid of those unfavorable to

her by any means possible.

That was why he had gotten some people to force themselves on Juliana during the kidnapping

incident so that he could have her under his control.

However, he had miscalculated, and Juliana had been found in advance. The police confiscated the

video and ruined his plan completely.

Felix looked at the elegant and aloof Cecilia and asked, “Are you telling me these so that I can help you

deal with Juliana?”

Cecilia shook her head. “I only want to see the two of you go against each other.”

She thought it was time for her to stop, and she just needed to watch the duo fight with each other after

that.

Felix suddenly felt that Cecilia was even more terrifying than Juliana.

Although Cecilia was open and overboard, she could play a game without bloodshed.

“I will tell you everything as long as you can save my life,” Felix said.

Looking at Felix, who still couldn’t fathom what was happening, Cecilia stood up and gazed down at

him.

“Your life is worthless to me, and so is your information.”

With that, she asked the bodyguard to take Felix out of the

secret room.

The purpose she sent Felix to the police station was to force Juliana to make a move.

Although Juliana was the mastermind, Cecilia had no evidence to prove that.

In that case, she might as well set up a trap and let Juliana fall in herself.

Felix was a coward. He had been beaten but did not suffer much. The bruise on his neck was the most

serious injury.

Therefore, even if he wanted to sue Christopher for lynching him, it would not be convincing.

The summer sun was scorching, and he was thrown into the open space outside the main building.

It did not take long for the wet clothes on his body to dry.

Shortly, his clothes were drenched in sweat again.

While his face turned red as if he would get heatstroke anytime, the police arrived.

He looked at the police as if he were looking for a savior, and the police car was as though a summer

resort to him.

Yet, several police officers ignored him and were invited by the
