Chapter 187
Cecilia already had no feelings for the Yancey family. Thus, she thought she might as well speed up
the process since they were digging their own
graves.
With that, Cecilia nodded affirmatively to Christopher and said, “Yes!”
Cecilia had decided there was no need to give the Yancey family a chance. to rest. She was going to
take advantage of the family when they were most vulnerable.
Christopher nodded and made some phone calls in front of Cecilia.
At that point, Jayden was done. The total penalty was nearly $2 billion.
The reason was that they had to re–shoot scenes with the male lead because some of the major
productions that Jayden had been a part of could not be broadcast.
So they held Jayden responsible for all their losses.
Besides, the Yancey family had just paid off the penalty Jayden and Jeremiah owed because of
Juliana, so they couldn’t afford to spend any more money.
Aside from selling their property, the only other thing left they could see was their shares.
Some of the calls Christopher had made earlier were to inform everyone not to buy the properties from
the Yancey family.
Christopher wanted the Yancey family to go bankrupt and let the courts auction off their assets.
That way, those who wanted to buy those assets would get them at a lower price.
To put it bluntly, Christopher wanted to force the Yancey family to sell their shares in Chrystilia
Corporation.
Christopher didn’t want Cecilia’s earnings to end up in the Yancey family’s pocket,
At the same time, the police had verified some of the evidence of Jeremiah’s crimes to be true.
Thus, Christopher had his assistant, Solomon, post the evidence of the crimes the police had on the
Internet.
Christopher believed all of Jeremiah’s songs would be taken down before

dawn. Jeremiah’s endorsements and variety shows would also be canceled, and he would have to
refund all the pre–sold concert tickets.
With the penalties added, it would be at least a few hundred million dollars.
Jeremiah was a rising young singer. Thus, he was no match against the megastar, Jayden, so the
penalties were much lower than Jayden’s.
That left only Gordon’s art gallery and Sophia’s record label.
For the first case, Christopher would go to the Zabel family.
The Zabel family was a family of scholars and had a great influence on oil painting.
The Zabel family had always felt guilty because Kenton had tried to hurt Cecilia before. Thus, it was a
great opportunity to use them to put pressure on Gordon to compensate Cecilia.
For the latter, Christopher would go to the Yates family.
The Yates family held a dominant position in the entertainment industry, which made it easy for them to
deal with Sophia’s record company.
After Cecilia heard Christopher’s analysis, she knew the Yancey family was officially doomed.
Still, Cecilia scrunched up her little face with anxiety.
The reason was that Cecilia could not afford to buy the remaining shares. from the Yancey family.
“Chris, I can’t afford to buy much of the shares with the balance on my card.”

When Christopher heard that, he smiled and stroked Cecilia’s head, saying, “I have enough. I will buy
them and gift them to you.”
Christopher hadn’t bought shares of Yancey Corporation for Cecilia because he had paid a lot of
penalties to Yancey Corporation for breaking off the relationship and had used up almost all of his
working capital.
Now that the funds were replenished, it was no big deal to buy the remaining shares from the Yancey
family.
Cecilia didn’t refuse Christopher and knew he wouldn’t take her money.
Instead, Cecilia blinked wittily and said, “I’ll take those shares as your betrothal gift to me.”
When he heard that, Christopher’s heart skipped a beat.
“This Linde Girl wants to marry me. How wonderful!” Christopher thought.
At that moment, Christopher’s gaze on Cecilia suddenly seemed like a Marving wolf
The next second, Christopher raised Cecilia’s chin and kissed her.
Just as Christopher was about to deepen the kiss, Cecilia’s phone rang.
Christopher was going to ignore it, but Cecilia blushed and pushed him. away.
Cecilia explained, “It’s Evan. Maybe there is something urgent.”
Creilia took out her phone and answered it.
Christopher already knew about Cecilia’s relationship with the Shaw family. Therefore, she did not
avoid him when she spoke to them. “Evan, have you found clues to who’s the mastermind?”
Christopher leaned closer to Cecilia, wanting to know the answer.
When Cecilia saw that, she turned on the speakerphone and placed her phone on the coffee table.
Soon, Evan’s voice came over, “Ceci, Aiden found some things about John
Cecilia quickly looked at Christopher and asked, “What things?”
“John’s identity is not simple. I will send you an email later. You can see for yourself. Maybe it’s not the
same person.”
After all, there were so many people named John. There were dozens and hundreds of them, even in a
small country like Yowhayton.
Moreover, the “John” mentioned by Blake might not be from Yowhayton. Therefore, the person Aiden
had found might not be the one they were looking for.
“Okay, I’ll check it out later,” Cecilia replied, knowing that.
“Okay, Don’t work too late. Go to bed early or you will have dark circles. under your eyes, Grandma
Elaine would be heartbroken if she saw that.”
“Got it. You should also go to bed early, Evan.”
Cecilia received an email from Evan after the call.
Cecilia forwarded the email to Christopher before she opened and checked

John was a famous mercenary in Yowhayton. He had a team of thousands of mercenaries.
Although John had no official position, his status was so high that event the royal family dared not
offend him.
Most importantly, John had a number of underground businesses in hist hands that affected the C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
interests of countless people.
So it was almost impossible to lay a finger on John, let alone see him.
After Cecilia read that, she asked Christopher, “Do you think he is part of the mastermind behind
this?”
Christopher nodded affirmatively and replied, “Yes!”
After all, not just anyone could manage an underground business in Yowhayton.
The primary purpose of the mastermind behind the matter was to control Cecilia to open up a channel
in the country and let the
underground businesses enter the country more smoothly and make huge profits.
Thus, it was definitely no coincidence that John and that mastermind had the same businesses.
Cecilia agreed with Christopher.
“With his identity, Aiden could see John. But if he does, it could give the game away,” Cecilia said.
Christopher held a higher position in the Peacekeeping Forces than Cecilia previously and knew more
insider information than her.
“Peacekeeping Forces have been cracking down on the illegal businesses and have sent many
undercover agents to Yowhayton. Perhaps the agents will find some useful information.”
Cecilia knew about the undercover agents.
Cecilia knew it because some of her fellow Peacekeeping Forces
disappeared during their training.
Cecilia had thought those people had left because they could not bear the environment and danger at
Peacekeeping Forces.
Later, Cecilia met her fellow by chance when she was on a mission.
Of course, Cecilia couldn’t recognize the person. After all, they had all painted their faces during the
training. So no one knew what the others. looked like.

Back then, the undercover agent had been on duty. In order not to fail the mission, the agent had made
gestures to Cecilia that only members of Peacekeeping Forces could understand.
Cecilia leaned on Christopher’s shoulder and said, “Undercover agents have their missions. They can’t
simply expose themselves. Let Aiden find out about John. Let’s go to Acocester and spend some time
with Grandma Elaine while we wait for the mastermind to take the bait.”
Christopher agreed and carried Cecilia upstairs.
“It’s getting late. Let’s go to bed.”
Cecilia put her arms around Christopher’s neck and asked with a smile, “How are we going to sleep?”
