After watching the news about the Yancey family, Cecilia clicked on the contact lists and looked at the
intercepted calls.
Sure enough, they were all from the Yancey family.
There were also several hundreds of “junk messages” in the trash bin.
The Yancey family brought it upon themselves to go from being a prominent family into such a state, so
they did not deserve sympathy at all.
After clearing the call interception records and junk messages, Cecilia
called Elaine.
Elaine had a regular sleeping routine and would go to bed before nine o’clock at night.
When Cecilia called, the elder had just taken a shower and was ready to go to bed.
The footsteps that were headed toward the bedside changed direction. and went to the balcony
instead.
Elaine looked in the direction of the city of Quilton and asked softly, “Ceci, it’s so rare for you to call
me.”
Cecilia had long told Elaine that she would return to Acocester, but she did not inform the exact time of
the return.
“Grandma Elaine, didn’t you ask me to bring my boyfriend to meet you? We’ll come over tomorrow,”
said Cecilia.
Elaine replied, “That’s so sudden. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I didn’t prepare anything.”
Cecilia said, “Grandma Elaine, I’m just coming back to my home. You don’t need to prepare anything.”
Upon hearing it, Elaine had the frown between her eyebrows deepen a
bit.
She then said with a smile, “Of course, my dear, I don’t need to prepare anything special for you to
come home. You can just come back whenever you want. When will you arrive tomorrow?”
Cecilia calculated the approximate time according to the distance. “Christopher and I will leave
tomorrow at nine o’clock in the morning and depart to Acocester by car. If there’s no traffic jam on the
highway,

we can reach by two o’clock in the afternoon.”
“Good, good. I’ll be waiting for you two at home.” After Elaine finished her words, she wanted to ask
Cecilia a lot of things but eventually turned the urge to question into concern for her. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Ceci, you are so thoughtful and like putting pressure on yourself. Now that you have someone you
like, talk to him when you encounter problems. Don’t bear them alone, okay?” Elaine said.
Cecilia knew that although Elaine said nothing, the elder had always been worried about her.
“Grandma Elaine, don’t worry. I’m doing well now. When I get home, you will see the change in me,”
Cecilia said.
Elaine understood the general situation of Cecilia and was happy about her change.
She smiled and said, “If I don’t see the change in you tomorrow, I will punish you, okay?”
Cecilia acted cutely with aggrievance. “Grandma Elaine, it’s the first time for me to bring my boyfriend
home, so please don’t embarrass me.”
Elaine truly felt the change in Cecilia.
Ever since the incident happened three years ago, Cecilia had never acted cutely to Elaine anymore.
It was good that Cecilia finally let go of the painful memories.
“Don’t worry. I won’t scare your boyfriend away,” Elaine replied.
Cecilia knew Elaine’s sleeping schedule, so she soon hung up the call without talking to her for too
long.
Looking at the call interface shown on her phone, she was in a delighted mood.
Soon, her car entered the area of Emerald Mansion.
When they arrived at the entrance, Gordon and Sophia suddenly rushed. out and stopped right in front
of the car.
The bodyguard driving the car slammed on the brakes abruptly, and the car stopped just right in front of
the couple, nearly hitting them.
Cecilia fell forward due to inertia. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and held onto the front seat.
She looked through the front windshield at Gordon and Sophia, who were glaring at her with a fierce
look, as if they wanted to eat her alive. A
nocking smile then formed on her face.
Gardon stood still in front of the car, while Sophia came forward and knocked on the car window
“You good–for–nothing brat, get out of the car” the woman shouted. The horyguard remained calm and
turned around to seek Cecilia’s opinion. “Ms. Yancey, what should we do now? Shall we crash into
them directly or call someone to chase them away?”
He knew how the Yancey family had treated Cecilia in a terrible manner. Therefore, he preferred the
former approach to crash into them directly. He thought, “Some people had to be taught a painful
lesson before they realize you’re not one to be messed with.”
Cecilia looked around and noticed the journalists hiding behind the bushes, as expected.
More precisely, she saw the camera flashes.
Cecilia replied to the bodyguard, “Stay in the car. I’ll go out to face them.”
She thought that the Yancey family’s way of dealing with her was still the same as always.
Back then, in order to prevent Cecilia from participating in the racing competition, Jackson flared up at
her and called journalists over to capture the moment of her hitting him.
Now, Gordon and Sophia were trying to change the course of the situation by calling in journalists,
wanting to catch the news of Cecilia attacking her own parents.
Cecilia snorted and thought, “Huh, I did not fall for their tricks before, and I’m even less likely to now!”
Cecilia opened the car door and got out of the vehicle. She then walked to Sophia, who looked like a
crazy banshee. I’m now out of the car. Spit out your business.”
Sophia raised her hand and wanted to slap Cecilia in the face as she cursed. “You bitch! Yancey
Corporation has already been taken away by you, but why did you still have to ruin all your brothers‘
lives?”
The four sons she had carefully cultivated were all outstanding, but they were all ruined by Cecilia in
the end.
Cecilia took a big step back and dodged Sophia’s slap.
Due to exerting too much force, Sophia stumbled and almost fell to the

ground.
Cecilia ignored Sophia and looked at the bushes.
She said, “All of you just show yourself. If you take photos secretly that far away, the images will be
unclear.”
The journalists turned silent.
Now that they had been exposed, there was no reason for them to hide anymore. Hence, they all came
out of the bushes and stood in front of Cecilia and Sophia.
Some were holding cameras, feeling the urge to focus the lens on the women’s faces closely.
“Ms. Yancey, do you hate the Yancey family so much that you try every means to ruin everything for
them?” one of the journalists asked.
Cecilia did not deny the question, saying, “Isn’t that obvious? I can’t repay one’s cruelty with kindness
with those who want to drain my blood dry.”
Upon hearing Cecilia’s reply, Sophia immediately turned upset. “What nonsense are you talking about?
Who’s draining your blood dry? Leaving aside the fact that we were being tricked by Juliana, even if we
weren’t, she gave you money and supplements every time your blood was drawn. She was afraid that
you wouldn’t feel well. Why did it become a bad thing when you said it?”
Cecilia looked at Sophia with a smile after listening to her unreasonable speech.
“How about I draw 400 ml of blood from you every month, giving you 40,000 dollars and replenishing
your blood?” Cecilia asked.
Sophia said, “If I can save people’s lives, I’m willing to!”
“Yeah, of course, you can. After all, the blood bank in the country is not saturated. That’s what the
hospital wishes for if someone is willing to donate blood. Patients who use your blood will also be
grateful to you.” When it came to playing word games, Cecilia had never lost to anyone.
Sophia turned speechless.
Cecilia messed up all of Sophia’s calculations, so Sophia did not know how to proceed with the
conversation for a moment.
She thought, “Since reasoning doesn’t work anymore, I’ll just strike then.” Under the pushing and
shoving, there would always be some bumps and bruises. With that, Sophia could sue Cecilia for
intentional harm.

The fate of the Yancey family was doomed, and there was no way for them to recover.
Yet, Sophia would not let Cecilia get away safely after ruining the Yancey family.
The thought of that made her rush forward to Cecilia.
