The pain was so severe that the two girls raised their hands and held their chins, screaming.
Howard came back to his senses and fearfully watched
Christopher slowly wipe his fingers.
“M–Mr. Forte, you…” He gulped. In the end, he could not bring himself to say anything.
He then called two students and instructed, “Hurry and send them to the infirmary.”
Christopher threw his handkerchief to the ground and said in an icy voice, “Hold on.”
The four students were so scared that their legs kept trembling as if they would kneel in the next
second.
As the vice–chancellor, Howard had to protect his students. He hurriedly spoke up for the girls. “Mr.
Forte, they are just young and ignorant girls. You don’t have to lower yourself to argue with them.”
Christopher looked at Howard. His powerful aura made the latter feel suffocated. He immediately broke
into a cold sweat.
When Howard was about to concede in fear, Christopher retracted his sharp gaze.
He said, “If you said something wrong, you must pay the price. Apologize publicly to Cecilia. I will not
spare you both if this happens again!”
Howard hurriedly agreed, “Sure. I’ll arrange it.”
Then, he waved his hand and asked the four to leave quickly. Right when Howard thought the crisis
was over, Christopher added, “Howard Lewis, you should apologize too.”
Howard’s heart skipped a beat, and the cold sweat on his face

became more profuse. He thought, “I had a bad attitude toward Cecilia before, and I’ve scolded and
belittled her several times. Mr. Forte must be holding grudges against me because of that. I’m done! If I
had known earlier that Cecilia was Mr. Forte’s woman, I wouldn’t have dared to treat her like that, no
matter how brave I was!”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Forte. I will apologize sincerely to Cecilia,” Howard promised.
Christopher nodded emotionlessly.
Relieved, Howard asked cautiously, “Mr. Forte, do you still want to inspect the music department?”
He suspected that the reason Christopher came to Quilton University was to support Cecilia.
Christopher ignored Howard, looked at Yvette, who was
sneaking away, and asked, “Aren’t you from the performing arts department? What are you doing here
in the music department?”
Yvette stopped and lowered her head as if she was an obedient girl. “Christopher, I’m here to help
Uncle Calvin send the revised theme song of the new movie.”
The Yates family was the second–largest prominent family in Quilton. They focused on film and
television and always cooperated with the music department of Quilton University.
The equipment in the recording studio was regularly replaced by Yates Corporation. In return, some
songs in the films produced by Yates Corporation were provided free of charge by Quilton University.
Although the singers were not paid, it was an opportunity for them to become famous. Hence, many
students yearned for it.
Christopher nodded. “Take me to the recording studio
complex.”
Yvette was taken aback.

At that moment, she was sure Christopher had a crush on Cecilia.
While she was thinking about how to refuse, Howard said, “Yvette, what are you waiting for? Take Mr.
Forte there to have a look. You must also explain every detail to him.”
He thought that the expansion of the music department had soured. To his surprise, there was still a
turnaround.
As Howard had given his instruction, Yvette had no choice but to agree.
She opened the door by swiping her card and led Christopher into the recording studio complex.
There were four floors in the recording studio complex, and each floor had two recording studios.
The two recording studios on the fourth floor had the best equipment.
One was for the use of Yates Corporation to record their songs. On the other hand, the other one was
used by students with excellent academic performance.
As Christopher was tall and had long legs, he could go up two steps every time he stepped forward.
Although Yvette was not short, it was a little hard to follow his
pace.
Besides, she had to explain to Christopher while walking. She was so tired that she was panting.
When Christopher reached the third floor, he suddenly stopped and looked at Cecilia. She was
surrounded by people outside the recording studio.
At that moment, everyone was sure that Cecilia was the beauty in front of them.
However, their attitude toward her became worse because of jealousy.

“It turns out that you seduced men with your face. You do have potential.”
“Tell me. How much is it for one night? Do you want me to introduce some customers to you?”
“How much can a shabby girl like her be worth? I think 20 dollars is more than enough.”
They blurted out all those unpleasant words at Cecilia as if they did not need to face any
consequences.
She clenched her hands slowly. Her gaze was as sharp as a knife, and her voice was icy cold. “Have
you girls said enough?” Everyone was suppressed by Cecilia’s aura, and they stopped laughing.
In a flash, they felt that there was no need to be afraid of Cecilia as they had more people.
“Wow! Could it be that you enjoy being scolded? Do you still want to hear more?”
“Haha! It’s the first time I saw someone asking for more scolding. It is a big eye–opener.”
“She isn’t just asking for a scolding; she’s also asking for a beating… Ah!”
Before one of the girls could finish her words, Cecilia yanked her chin and kicked her on the knee.
With a thud, the girl fell on her knees on the ground.
As the sound fell in everyone’s ears, it scared them that they took a step back.
Cecilia did not stop. Instead, she did the same to whoever scolded her by yanking their chins and
kicking them to their knees.
The screams rang up consecutively. The combined screams sounded shrill.
Clap! Clap! Clap!

Yvette clapped while walking toward Cecilia. “Ceci, good job! It’s what you should do to deal with these
jerks!”
After saving that, she looked at the people on their knees and snoried coldly. “From now on, if you dare
to upset Ceci, I will expel you from Quilton and Quilton University!”
As the Yates family’s favorite, she had the ability to do so.
The girls, who were sobbing, became so frightened that they immediately shut up. They did not dare to
ask for mercy.
After all, it was a dream for them to get admitted to Quilton University. If they were forced to drop out, it
would be over for them.
They all looked at Yvette pleadingly.
Yvette then landed her gaze at Cecilia, hinting that they had begged the wrong person.
The girls immediately looked at Cecilia pleadingly, hoping that the latter would spare them.
If they had known that Cecilia had Yvette backing her up, they would not have dared to scold Cecilia.
Cecilia looked at the group of people with distorted facial features and said, “Tell Juliana, that coward,
not to think that I don’t know that she is the mastermind. Tell her to wait in peace. I will soon make her
taste what it’s like to fall into hell! Now, get lost!”
The girls were suppressed by Cecilia’s sudden outburst of aura. They even forgot the pain and crawled
away.
Yvette looked at Cecilia with admiration. “Ceci, you are so cool. To deal with a coward like Juliana, you
should find her, drag her out, and let her beg for mercy in public!”
The person Yvette hated the most was Juliana.
Both of them were socialites. Furthermore, as they were similar in age, they had a lot of contact with
each other.

However, Yvette had never seen anyone more hypocritical and dramatic than Juliana. The latter often
made up stories to seek everyone’s attention.
Juliana constantly flirted with boys, trying to make them fight. for her.
She would urge her lackeys to stand up for her in front of the people she disliked.
After that, she would pretend to be innocent. It made Yvette
nauseous.
Upon hearing what Yvette said, Cecilia could not help but smile. “Thank you for just now.”
Yvette hurriedly waved her hands. “You’re welcome. I owe you more than this.”
“Then, we’re considered even now. You should go ahead and do your thing.”
“Okay, Ceci. If you need any help, feel free to ask me.” With that said, Yvette left.
However, when she reached the stairs, Christopher remained unmoving in his original position.
“Christopher, let me take you to the fourth floor.”
“Wait.” Christopher felt that the fight was not yet over.
As expected, many people got the number of the recording studio ahead of Cecilia.
They were all boys, and several of them were Juliana’s simps. It was obvious that they were
deliberately picking on her.
When it was Cecilia’s turn, the assistant of the sound engineer who issued the number plate said,
“Sorry, you are late. Today’s queue is full.”
There were not many recording studios in the music department. Hence, the recording studios would
be occupied the whole day every day. Students must queue up and get their

numbers before entering the recording studios.
for
Although each person only had half an hour, excluding the staff’s off–duty time, only up to 30 people a
day could go their turns at the recording studios.
It was Quilton University’s anniversary. Thus, there were not many people in the recording studio. That
was why Cecilia chose to go there at that hour.
There were eight people queuing in front of her, and she saw the reserved session on the number plate
the last student got. “The number distributed just now is 11. The recording time is from 2:30 p.m. to
3:00 p.m. During holidays, the recording studio will be closed at 5:30 p.m. Do you even know how to
count? Or are you planning to leave early?”
The sound engineer’s assistant did not expect Cecilia to have noticed the previous number plate and
was at a loss for words. However, thinking of the benefits he had just obtained, he said stubbornly, “Mr.
Shurmer is not feeling well, so he’ll get off work early today.”
A singer could not record a song alone. A sound engineer must be there to control the overall rhythm,
play the
accompaniment, and adjust the sound level.
Keith Shurmer was the sound engineer of Studio No. 5.
Cecilia said coldly, “Since you guys have forgotten the school rules, why don’t you quit?”
In order not to delay the students‘ study, the recording studio was open at a fixed time every day, and
there would be two sound engineers in rotating shifts.
Even if one of the sound engineers could not come to work, the other could take his place.
Upon hearing Cecilia’s words, the assistant sneered, “Who do you think you are?”

As Yvette had left, he assumed that Cecilia had no more backup.
Cecilia saw through his thoughts and smiled sarcastically.
She took out her phone and was about to call the chancellor. However, Yvette ran over again.
She looked at the assistant angrily. “Who do you think you are? How dare you deliberately make
trouble for Ceci? Do you want to get fired?”
Yvette was the darling of the Yates family. Hence, the assistant was immediately frightened. “Ms.
Yates, I was wrong. Please forgive me.” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
After saying that, he immediately gave Cecilia a number plate with the reserved recording time. “Ms.
Yancey, please take this. You can go and do something else for now. Just come back when it’s almost
your turn.”
Cecilia knew that the assistant was simply following someone’s orders, so she did not embarrass him
and took the number plate.
However, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she turned on the recording function in front of the
assistant. “Who instructed you to make trouble for me and stop me from recording my song?”
She was aware that Juliana was causing trouble for her.
In the past, she always had to put up with such a thing for harmony in the family.
However, she would not let things go easily anymore.
She wanted to expose Juliana’s true nature and show everyone what kind of person Juliana was.
When the assistant watched Cecilia turn on the recording function to make him confess to the
mastermind behind the scenes, his face turned pale. He then kept silent.

Yvette urged, “What are you waiting for? Say it!”
The assistant could not afford to mess with Yvette or Juliana.
He had taken a lot of benefits from Juliana in the past three years, so he would not betray her easily.
Therefore, he lied, saying, “I despise Cecilia because of her scandals and arrogance. That’s why I
deliberately embarrassed her. There’s no mastermind behind this.”
Cecilia looked at the lying assistant coldly and reminded, “If you choose to take the blame, you won’t
be able to stay at Quilton University or Quilton.”
The assistant did not believe Cecilia had the ability to do so and said persistently, “I’m just telling the
truth. I’m not taking the blame for anyone.”
In his opinion, even if he was expelled from Quilton University and offended the Yates family, he could
still enter the Yancey Corporation. There was nothing for him to be afraid of.
However, he did not know what kind of person he had messed with.
