The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher)

Chapter 184

Cecilia stood still and watched Sophia coldly, who had a maddening look, rush to her.

Seeing that she was about to be knocked to the ground, Cecilia quickly took a step sideways.

Sophia fell with a thud, with her face hitting the ground. Her soft skin was damaged, and blood oozed

from the wounds.

“Ah!” she screamed out of pain.

The screams immediately attracted the journalists to take photographs frantically.

The questions asked by them also sounded provocative.

Although they were paid to come here by Sophia, they would still need to cover whatever news that

should be covered.

“Mrs. Yancey, what’s your purpose in confronting Ms. Yancey?”

“With such a devout posture, are you trying to beg Ms. Yancey to spare you?”

“Mrs. Yancey, have you ever regretted hurting your own daughter because of your vicious adoptive

daughter?”

The journalists kept asking questions.

Sophia sprawled on the ground and did not dare to look up at all. She did not want her embarrassment

to be photographed by the journalists.

Their direct questions weighed heavily like boulders on her heart, making her feel suffocated.

She thought, “Have I ever regretted it? Of course, I have!”

Not only did she regret raising an ingrate, but she also regretted giving birth to another daughter.

To her, Cecilia was a nemesis of the Yancey family, who was born to cause them misery.

Cecilia felt her nose itch a little and reached out to rub it.

Looking at Sophia, who remained motionless and silent, Cecilia asked, “Does the dust on the ground

taste good? You haven’t finished licking it all up after such a long time?”

Hearing the sarcastic words, the journalists burst into laughter.

Sophia’s ears were filled with demonic laughter, which made her face flush, and her wound bled more

profusely.

Sophia clenched her fists tightly, causing intense pain, but it did not hurt. as much as Cecilia’s

humiliation brought to her.

Gordon could not stand it anymore and shouted, “Cecilia, don’t you go too far. Sophie is your mother!”

Then, he walked up to Sophia and blocked the journalists‘ cameras.

With an expressionless face, Cecilia looked at Gordon, who had his face turned pale and eyes

reddened with anger.

Cecilia retorted, “The two of you didn’t treat me as your daughter, but you want me to treat you as my

parents? What kind of logic is that?” “We gave birth to you, and that’s the logic!” Gordon shouted.

“This is your logic, not mine. If you’re here to lecture me, you can forget about it and go back now,”

retorted Cecilia.

Gordon stared at Cecilia fixedly and suddenly knelt down in front of her. “Ceci, I know we’ve hurt you,

but we’ve already paid the price. Please don’t push us over the edge. At least, spare all of your

brothers, okay? They have just started their lives.” Gordon’s face was full of pleas, and every word from

him showed the humbleness of being a father.

He continued, “Ceci, just hate me if you want to. It was my fault for not taking good care of my pregnant

wife and causing you to get swapped from birth. I fully understand you for deliberately keeping it from

us that you’re doing well in your life and growing up to be outstanding enough. If it were for me, I would

also be cautious every step and abandon my family, taking revenge on them!”

When Cecilia heard the first sentence, she was still wondering why Gordon suddenly became humane.

However, what the man said later on revealed his true nature again. It was the Yancey family who had

hurt Cecilia, but Gordon twisted the truth and said that Cecilia returned to the Yancey family full of

schemes and intentionally caused them to end up in such a miserable situation. She thought, “How

could he still have the nerve to say such distorting facts?”

Sophia, who was still sprawled on the ground, also calmed down after hearing Gordon’s words.

She thought they would not gain any advantage at all for confronting Cecilia head–on and should just

put dirt on Cecilia like Gordon, pretending to be pitiful at the same time.

Compassion for the weak was a common human weakness.

After thinking about it, Sophia got up from the ground and knelt beside Gordon, regardless of her

messy state.

“Ceci, it’s all my fault for treating Juliana like a treasure and causing you to be wronged, disappointing

you over and over again, which made you hate us and want to ruin our lives,” said Sophia.

She then continued, “I don’t blame you. I only blame myself for being too st* pid to be fooled by Juliana

the entire time. She instigated me to make one mistake after another and hurt you. You can do

whatever you want with me, even if it means taking my life, but can you spare your brothers?”

After saying that, she forcefully lowered her head, touching the ground as if she were going all out. “I’m

begging you!”

Gordon also lowered his head. “Ceci, I’m begging you too. As long as you let all your brothers go, we’re

willing to do anything.”

Cecilia looked at them, who were retreating to advance. The coldness on her face deepened.

“Your sons violated the law. The police won’t ignore the law and directly release them just because I

said to let them go.” With that, she looked at the journalists, who were taking pictures and recording

videos frantically, and said, “When all of you publish the news later, educate the netizens about the law

to prevent some people from thinking that the police station and court are owned privately, where one Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

can simply detain or release people at will.”

Cecilia’s words obviously implied that Gordon and Sophia had no knowledge of the law.

The journalists were invited by Sophia, so they naturally sided with her more and did not give a reaction

at all.

On the contrary, they searched out the unfavorable things toward Cecilia from what Gordon and Sophia

said to question her..

“Ms. Yancey, you are very outstanding, but why did you pretend to be dumb when you returned to the

Yancey family?”

“Is it true that your purpose of returning to the Yancey family is impure

and just for revenge, as what Mrs. Yancey had said?”

“Now that you’ve caused the family to lose the company and get into prison, aren’t you going to stop?”

“Did you transfuse blood to Juliana so that everyone could agree with your cold–blooded revenge as a

victim on the Yancey family?”

It had to be said that these journalists were not only harsh in their words but also very capable of

distorting the facts.

If there were people who did not know the truth, they would easily believe the journalists‘ nonsense.

Seizing the opportunity, Sophia wiped the blood on her face, making herself look pitiful and humble.

She said, “Ceci, I’ve figured it out. No matter what your decisions are, I will accept them. Sorry to

bother you tonight.”

Then, she looked at Gordon. “Let’s go. We shouldn’t make things difficult for Ceci.”

Gordon got up and helped Sophia to her feet, too.

He looked at Cecilia guiltily. “I know you don’t want to see us, so we won’t show up in front of you

anymore. I hope you live a happy life.”

The man thought once they went back and committed a fake scene of ending their lives, Cecilia would

definitely be the target of everyone’s criticism.

At that thought, Gordon was in a good mood and left with Sophia. Their retreating figures looked bleak

and desolate, even with their back slightly hunched, as if they had aged for a decade in an instant.

Watching the two who had poured dirt on her try to slip away, Cecilia shouted loudly, “Stop them!”

Emerald Mansion seemed to be desolated, but in fact, the bodyguards. were all hiding in the dark.

Once Cecilia’s words were out, the entrance gate of Emerald Mansion immediately opened, and more

than 20 bodyguards rushed out to surround Gordon and Sophia.

The journalists watching the scene were shocked by the sudden appearance of the bodyguards and

could not help feeling worried. Then, they realized after a moment that Gordon and Sophie were

bullying Christopher’s woman in the man’s territory, in which the action

was considered seeking death.

Some journalists thought they had obtained the news and wanted to slip away, but they were stopped

by the bodyguards.

No one could leave the mansion without Cecilia’s order.

The journalists held their cameras high and said with their heads held high, “We’re broadcasting a

livestream. It will be illegal imprisonment if you don’t let us go!”

Cecilia looked at the journalists, as if they were fools. “Check if there’s a network sign on your camera

before saying that.”

Once Cecilia said that, the journalists who were broadcasting immediately checked their cameras.

When they saw the red exclamation mark in the upper right corner of the screen, their faces turned

flushed, as if they were having constipation.

They did not even notice that their cameras were not connected to the internet when they were focused

on watching the scene and thought the livestream was being broadcast the entire time.

Someone immediately took out their mobile phone and found that there was still no internet coverage.

In other words, Cecilia had blocked the coverage.

Thinking about it, all the journalists could not help panicking.

They pondered, “If Mr. Christopher Forte wants us to disappear, I bet no one could even find our

bodies.”
