Chapter 118
This topic took only ten minutes to balloon to the top of the trending topics list.
Then Cecilia posted what Felix had admitted.
The netizens didn’t know what happened before, so after hearing the conversation between Juliana
and Abigail, they were all confused.
They only knew that Juliana was a fake rich kid and found all kinds of despicable ways to stay living in
the Yancey residence for money and fame.
However, after listening to Felix’s confession, everybody was shocked and even doubted their views of
the world.
[Go to hell, Juliana! You stole Cecilia’s identity and hurt her so many times. Snake!]
[Hell is empty. And all the devils are here. I’m convinced of that!]
[I used to support Juliana. But now knowing the truth, I feel like shit!]
[She’s so crazy. She is everything you don’t want to be and I think she deserves a death sentence!]
People started to leave all kinds of comments.
Juliana used to have some fans defending her occasionally. Now, they attacked Juliana more fiercely
than anyone else. They felt ashamed of having been Juliana’s fans before.
Juliana was being questioned by the police and didn’t know what was happening online.
The police officer asked, “Juliana, what do you want to say about the charges against Felix?”
Juliana said, “I have nothing to tell you about it because what

Felix did has nothing to do with me. He tried to pin it on me to get away with it. The evidence I just
handed over to you can prove what I just said.”
Then Juliana bit her lips, looking genuinely remorseful. Juliana added, “Of course, I should take part of
the blame because I didn’t report it to you guys earlier. But I have been collecting evidence secretly. It
should make up for that, right?” Juliana thought she should give a reasonable reason as to why she
gave the police the evidence against Felix.
The police officer was clever enough to know that Juliana was just acting.
But he couldn’t treat Juliana as a criminal until he had evidence enough to prove that.
The police officer said, “We’ll find out whether it can make up for your fault and whether you’re guilty.”
After saying that, he asked Juliana some more questions, to which Juliana replied with evasive
answers.
Seeing that the police officer had no more questions, Juliana asked, “Can I leave now? Or do I have to
stay 24 hours here before I can leave?”
The police officer said, “Ms. Yancey, you can leave at any moment, but you can’t leave Quilton in case
we need your further help with the investigation.”
Juliana nodded. “Of course, I’m an obedient citizen.”
Hearing Juliana’s words, the police officer balled his hands into fists, but he could do nothing but watch
Juliana leave.
He couldn’t help sighing, “There is no escape from the long arm of the law.”
Juliana, who had just stepped out of the interrogation room, turned around and said, “Yes. I always
believe that justice may be delayed, but it will not be denied.”

Juliana thought, “Unless there is no evidence.”
Then Juliana left the police station joyfully after saying that in her mind.
As soon as Juliana left the police station, someone splashed her with pig blood.
A man roared, “You scum, pure scum! Go to hell!”
As the man cursed, Juliana noticed that someone was sprinting toward her.
She wanted to dodge, but her eyes were covered with pig blood. She couldn’t see anything clearly and
didn’t know where to hide.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.
She fell to the ground and heard a harsh scream. “Ah!!! Someone is killed!”
Juliana touched her abdomen, and her fingers were immediately cut by a sharp knife.
Juliana shouted, “Help! Help!”
Her cry for help agitated the man who was frightened by the pig blood in his hands. The man
screamed, “Bitch, you ruined my son! I will kill you!”
The knife was pulled out from Juliana and quickly stabbed into her abdomen again.
Juliana recognized the man’s voice and hurriedly said, “Mr. Lynch…”
After saying only two words, Juliana spat out some blood and fainted.
The man who stabbed Juliana was Joel’s father, Lawrence Lynch.
Lawrence went to the detention center to visit his son earlier that day and learned about how Juliana
set his son up. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

He was furious and indignant knowing that his son was ruined by someone.
Lawrence’s original plan was just to argue with Juliana, but later he learned about all the bad things
that Juliana had done.
He was so angry that he waited for Juliana outside the police station with a kitchen knife.
What happened next was the hairy scene just now.
Lawrence was an honest and decent man. The only living creatures he had killed before were
chickens. It was the first time he had killed a person.
He stabbed Juliana with flaming anger.
Looking at the blood streaming out of Juliana’s abdomen, Lawrence collapsed to the ground in fear.
Soon, the police officers cuffed him and drove Juliana to the hospital.
The journalists who had been waiting for Juliana at the gate of the police station posted what just
happened on the Internet in no time.
Their titles were very eye–catching: “Karma is true.”
When Cecilia saw the news that Juliana was stabbed by Lawrence, she returned to Emerald Mansion.
She agreed with the journalists‘ opinion expressed in this title.
Cecilia murmured, “Juliana certainly never expected that she would almost be killed because of what
she did to Joel.”
Christopher put the freshly made dessert on the coffee table in front of Cecilia.
Christopher asked, “Ceci, do you want to give her a hard blow when she is the weakest?”
Now Juliana was seriously injured. As long as there was some kind of accident during the operation,
she would die.

Actually, not enough blood in the hospital’s blood bank would surely take Juliana’s life.
Cecilia wanted Juliana to die, but she didn’t want her to die in a peaceful way like this.
Cecilia said, “Not now. I haven’t had enough fun.”
Cecilia had promised herself that she would make Juliana pay for all she had done.
Juliana thought, “My revenge is just beginning. She can’t die
now!”
Therefore, instead of making the situation worse for Juliana, Cecilia asked the doctors to do everything
they could to save her.
However, something fishy was added to Juliana’s medicine during the operation.
Christopher thought that Juliana was in his control, so it would be all right if Cecilia wanted to have
more fun.
After having dinner at Emerald Mansion, Cecilia was ready to go back to her apartment.
Christopher took her hand and gave her two choices. “Stay or I’ll go with you.”
Cecilia withdrew her hand and said, “Neither of them. You stay here and I leave. After finishing the final
exams tomorrow, I will come back here for you.”
There had been too many things happening recently, so Cecilia needed to have some private time to
figure things out.
Seeing that Cecilia was determined, Christopher nodded. “I’ll be waiting for you.”
Christopher said, “Remember to change the dressing.”
Then Cecilia left the Emerald Mansion.
Christopher asked more bodyguards to send her back home
this time.

Christopher didn’t know if it was just his illusion or if the man behind what happened three years ago
was lurking in the dark, waiting patiently for opportunities.
Cecilia also had the same feeling.
Cecilia didn’t like being prey, so she used herself as bait to give the men lurking in the dark an
opportunity.
But nothing happened along the way back to the apartment. Christopher’s bodyguards didn’t leave
after Cecilia arrived at the apartment. Some of them were patrolling outside her apartment door, some
downstairs, and some hidden in the neighborhood.
As soon as Cecilia returned to the apartment, she received a call from Evan.
Cecilia looked at the phone, looking reluctant. She didn’t want to answer the call.
But she knew that the consequences of not answering it would be serious.
The moment Cecilia answered the call, she moved the phone a bit away from her ear.
As expected, Evan’s roar came from the other side of the phone. “Ceci! Do you think you’re not famous
enough? Why does your name keep appearing on the trending topics again and again?”
Evan was so furious that he felt his temples pulsing violently. He wanted to fly to be with Cecilia
immediately and lock her up in the military camp!
Evan thought Cecilia had been too high–profile lately, which put her in a dangerous situation.
Cecilia knew that Evan was angry only because he cared about her, so she softened her tone and said
with cute little puppy dog eyes, “Evan, I believe you. The person you sent to protect me will definitely
not let anything happen to me.”

Hearing this, Evan got even angrier.
Evan said, “You’ve been too close to Christopher recently. You’re making it hard for them to protect you
closely.” Cecilia said, “It doesn’t really matter. Christopher is no less powerful than your men.”
Then Cecilia’s tone became more serious. She said, “Evan, is there any person suspicious around
me?”
She knew that she must have been kept under constant surveillance because of the exposure of her
identity and her high profile.
She couldn’t get over the accident that happened three years ago, and it was regarded as a grave
mistake that needed serious internal investigation.
The traitor and the man behind it were threats to not only her but also the entire Peacekeeping Forces!
