The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher)

Chapter 49

When Cecilia received a call from the police station, the promotional trailer for “The Palace” had

already aired, and the response was exceptionally positive.

With Yates Corporation’s marketing savvy, this movie quickly soared to the top of trending topics,

overshadowing the news of Juliana’s self-harm.

When she saw the call from the police station, she guessed that someone from the Yancey family was

behind it.

When she answered, she heard a police officer speaking in a formal tone.

“Hello, is this Cecilia Yancey?”

“It’s me. What can I help you with?” Cecilia asked.

“You are involved in a privacy breach case. Please come to the eastern suburb branch to cooperate

with our investigation,” said the officer.

“Do you have any evidence? You can’t just casually ask me to come over based on a few words, can

you? If someone wants to target me and keeps calling the police, I won’t have time for anything else,”

Cecilia said deliberately, giving the police a gentle reminder.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Yancey. If someone makes a false report, wasting police resources and falsely

accusing others, they will be held legally responsible,” the police said.

“I’m glad to hear that. I’ll come over shortly to cooperate with the investigation,” Cecilia responded.

“Okay, bye,” the police said.

After ending the call, Cecilia went out.

Although the photos were downloaded by her, the Yancey family had no concrete evidence. It was

merely baseless.

speculation.

The police checked Jackson’s phone, but they only found signs. of intrusion and no clues to the

intruder.

Cecilia pretended not to know anything, so the police couldn’t get any information from her.

After the questioning ended, she asked, “Who is falsely accusing me? Can I file a counterclaim against

them?”

“Of course, you can. Please go to the lobby and fill out the necessary information. We will initiate the

case proceedings,” the officer replied.

Cecilia quickly completed the information form.

After signing, she said to the police officer who received her, “Please keep me informed of any

updates.”

“Don’t worry, we’ll let you know as soon as there are any updates,” the officer reassured.

As Cecilia came out of the police station, she was blocked by Jackson at the entrance.

She raised her eyebrows and asked, “What? You still want to get beaten up?”

Jackson’s face was still swollen. There was a clear palm print on his face, which made him look very

funny.

Naturally, he didn’t dare to do anything at the entrance of the police station, so he just glared at Cecilia.

“I’m warning you, if you harm Julia again, I won’t hold back!” said Jackson.

Cecilia snorted lightly. “When have you ever been polite to me?”

As she spoke, she leaned closer to Jackson and whispered in his ear, “What is done by night appears

by day. Who told you to have dirty intentions and Juliana to act so desperate?”

“They’ve done it all, yet they’re afraid of what others might say

They really don’t have the guts!” Cecilia thought.

Unable to tolerate hearing Juliana getting cursed at, Jackson took a step back and quickly raised his

hand to slap Cecilia across the face.

It wasn’t the first time he thought about hitting Cecilia, but it ended the same way as before. When his

hand reached Cecilia’s face, Cecilia grabbed it and slapped him back. Cecilia looked at her red palms

and shook them gently.

She noticed that the handprints on Jackson’s face were relatively symmetrical and nodded in

satisfaction.

“Not bad, you haven’t lost your touch. But your skin is really thick. It seems I’ll have to use a shoe sole

next time,” said Cecilia.

Jackson’s mouth was filled with the smell of rust, and his face was burning with pain.

He really wanted to fight back, but he knew he couldn’t win against Cecilia, which made him feel

extremely frustrated.

“Cecilia, remember what I said!”

With his face swollen, he mumbled then turned and left.

Cecilia’s voice came from behind him. “Jackson, I’ll soon give you an unforgettable surprise.”

Jackson turned around and wanted to seek clarification, but he saw Cecilia get into a car and drive Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

away.

A feeling of uneasiness welled up in his heart as he sensed that Cecilia was saving a big move.

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t guess what she was planning.

He rubbed his swollen face and was about to leave when he received a call from the police station.

“Jackson Yancey, you’ve falsely accused Cecilia of invading your privacy. She has already filed a

complaint against you. Please

She was severely injured and her body needed rest, so she didn’t wake up until ten o’clock at night.

Seeing Sophia sleeping by the bedside, Juliana’s lips curled into a triumphant smile.

She deliberately moved and woke Sophia up.

Sophia looked at the awakened Juliana and finally felt relieved.

“Julia, how are you feeling? Do you feel uncomfortable?” Sophia asked.

Juliana moved her lips and pretended to be too weak to make a sound.

Sophia was heartbroken. “It’s okay, Julia. It’s my fault. I

shouldn’t have said those things to you. But how could you even think of doing that stu**d thing? If

something really happened, what would I do?”

Juliana didn’t say anything. Instead, she managed a faint smile, silently comforting Sophia.

She thought, “Although the process was very dangerous, it turned out to be good and worthwhile!”

Sophia called Kevin to perform a detailed physical

examination on Juliana.

The results were good. Juliana only needed to rest well and her body will recover.

Two days later…

Juliana’s recovery was going well, and to make it up to her, Sophia bought her lots of expensive clothes

and jewelry.

To Juliana, these items were like money in her eyes, bringing her joy and lifting her spirits.

But she refused verbally and said, “Mom, please return all these things. I don’t need them. Yancey

Corporation is facing difficulties at the moment. You should spend the money on the most important

areas.”

“No matter how difficult our family is, I can’t let you suffer,” said Sophia.

After chatting for a while, Juliana suddenly mentioned Yvette’s birthday party.

“Mom, today is Yvette’s birthday. The Yates family held a grand party for her. Did she invite Jon?”

asked Juliana.

Sophia sighed heavily and nodded. “Yes, both Jon and Jay are invited.”

She thought that after Yates Corporation ended its cooperation with Yancey Corporation, they wouldn’t

have any more

dealings with the Yancey family.

However, to her surprise, the Yates family still sent an invitation.

Of course, she was not narcissistic and did not think the Yates family wanted to reconcile with the

Yancey family.

On the contrary, she was well aware that the Yates family wanted to use her son as a buffoon when the

Yancey family was embroiled in scandals.

Juliana asked, “Will Jon and Jay attend?”

Sophia didn’t answer Juliana’s question. She subconsciously became alert and asked, “Julia, why are

you asking that?”
