The stairs were not designed straight up and down but zigzag-shaped, with each section not being very

long.

The man did not fall seriously and got stuck in the corner of the stairs.

He touched the back of his swollen head and stood up with curses spewing from his mouth, trying to

settle scores with Cecilia.

However, after meeting Cecilia’s cold gaze, the man

immediately chickened out while still being tough with his words. “Just you wait. I’ll make you pay later!”

Cecilia just assumed he was talking nonsense and raised her leg as a sign of threat.

The man’s legs felt weak unconsciously, and he ran down the stairs in fear.

With the annoying person gone, Cecilia did not leave the rooftop in a hurry. She stood by the stairs,

pondering her unfinished thoughts from earlier.

In less than two minutes, she heard messy footsteps coming towards the rooftop.

According to the voices, almost a dozen people were coming

up.

As expected, eight gangsters rushed up to surround her.

Among them was the man who had been kicked down the stairs by Cecilia not long ago.

The man looked smug. “Are you afraid now?”

After saying that, he swung his hand. “Get her now. Boss is still waiting!”

Cecilia furrowed her eyebrows and said in a deep voice, “How

dare

you cause trouble in the Yates family’s territory? Don’t you want to stay in Quilton anymore?”

There were so many people today, so she did not want to do anything to avoid attracting attention.

The man replied, “Our boss is the VVIP here. Even if Mr. Yates comes, he has to show our boss some

respect! Go have a drink with our boss obediently and give me a proper apology. Then, I won’t give you

a hard time. Does that sound good?”

Cecilia was not s**pid. She knew that the man just wanted to trick her into going to a private room.

However, that was exactly what she wanted. “Okay. Take me to your boss.”

-There were no surveillance cameras in the private room, so it

would not affect her plan.

It was just that the plan to use a trick to expose the person. behind the drug usage might be going

down the drain.

The man thought Cecilia was scared, so he became even more arrogant. “That’s more like it!”

However, when they went downstairs swiftly, they bumped into Yvette, who had come to search for

Cecilia.

Seeing Cecilia surrounded by gangsters, Yvette immediately got anxious. “What are you all doing?”

The man recognized the darling of the Yates family and said with a smile, “Ms. Yates, this is my boss’

woman. Don’t get involved in our matters.”

Yvette snorted. “Bah! You are so shameless. Don’t you know who she is?”

Although Cecilia had gained a lot of fame recently, she was only known to those who loved gossip and

news online.

These gangsters clearly did not know Cecilia.

“Ms. Yates, she is my…”

Before the man could finish his words, Cecilia made a move.

Ster punched the man in the face, knocking off two of his teeth.

The man fell on the carpet. Before the man could react. Certa’s Pugh heels already stepped on his

face.

Cecilia shouted, “Don’t you dare talk nonsense, or else you’ll get yourself in trouble”

The man felt like his face had been stomped on terribly. The pain was intetise, resulting in him being

unable to speak.

The other gangsters wanted to assist him, but Yvette shielded Cecilia and said loudly. “Don’t you dare

move!”

The commotion attracted the bodyguards at the karaoke. “Ms. Yates, do you need any help?”

Yvette nodded and said angrily, Kick these sc**bags out!”

The bodyguards immediately executed her order.

Soon, only the man stepped on by Cecilia was left in the corridor.

Cecilia loosened her foot and asked in a deep voice, “Which private room is your boss in?”

The man answered, “306.

Yvette often invited her friends here to sing, so she knew a lot about the place.

She knew that the gangsters had booked a long-term private

room.

Cecilia went to the private room with the number 306 immediately.

Yvette ordered the bodyguards to follow Cecilia. “Guard outside the door. Rush into the room right

away if I call for you guys. Understood?”

“Yes, Ms. Yates,” the bodyguards replied.

Yvette had never experienced a violent scene before, so she

carefully followed behind Cecilia with her heart pounding loudly.

However, she was then locked outside the room by Cecilia. There were only a few people in the private

room.

A man in a black shirt and trousers sat in the middle of a couch.

Three other men were sitting quite a distance away from that

man.

Seeing a beautiful lady coming in, they immediately stood up. “Wow. What a beauty.” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Cecilia ignored the men’s flirtation and looked at the man in black. “Who asked you to deal with me?”

She had thought that the man she faced not long ago was just a drunkard, but once she was

surrounded by a group of gangsters, she knew things were not simple.

The man in black looked at Cecilia, who was acting calmly, and asked back without answering Cecilia’s

question, “Where are my men?”

“The bodyguards at the karaoke kicked them out. All of you are no match for me. Tell me, who’s behind

all this?”

She suspected that it was Juliana, but in the three years of staying in the Yancey family, she did not

find the woman involved with people from the gray area.

Cecilia wondered who else could the culprit be if it was not Juliana.

She thought it definitely could not be the Yancey family. Even if they hated her, they would not use such

a dirty trick.

The man in black sneered and stood up. “Don’t be too arrogant!”

With that, he pressed his fingers and made a clicking sound, hinting at a strong sense of threat.

Cecilia looked at the man indifferently and asked, “What did the people behind this ask you to do to

me?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard some noise coming from the restroom.

Cecilia looked in the direction and shouted, “Show yourself!”

The man in black walked to Cecilia. “Once I have subdued you, he will come out eventually.”

Hearing this, Cecilia guessed who was in the restroom. “Devon!”

Devon was startled in the restroom, and his heart started beating wildly.

He wondered how Cecilia knew it was him.

His original plan was to let Niklaus, the man in black, subdue Cecilia and then have his way with her,

threatening her with the video recording of the scene afterward.

When the time came, Cecilia would do whatever Devon wanted.

However, Devon was confused about why he was exposed even before the plan could be

implemented.

Devon did not understand and also did not dare to leave the

restroom.

Yet, he believed in Niklaus’ ability, so he waited still at ease.

Just then, various banging sounds and screams sounded in the private room, and the restroom door

was kicked open.

Devon, who was hiding behind the door, was sent flying with a kick. His face was then smashed onto

the cold wall.

Seeing Cecilia enter, he was scared nearly to death. “I don’t know anything. I just came here to have a

seat.”

Cecilia grabbed Devon’s hair and dragged the man into the

private room, throwing him on the ground full of broken glass.

“Lying down will be more comfortable than sitting.” After saying that, she stepped on Devon’s chest,

making his back. have direct contact with the broken glass.

Cecilia asked, “Tell me, how do you want to deal with me?”

The glass dug into Devon’s back, and the strong smell of blood spread in the room.

Devon had never suffered such pain, that he didn’t even have the strength to speak.

He thought his plan was flawless, but he did not expect Cecilia to be so strong.

Soon, he fainted in pain.

Cecilia retreated her leg and looked at Niklaus, who had been beaten badly.

She then said, “You. Tell me about it.”

Niklaus knew the underground’s rule of not simply spilling secrets, so he snorted coldly and turned his

head aside, not intending to speak.

“If you want to be loyal, you still have to see the timing. I will give you three seconds to think about your

decision.” After saying that, Cecilia planted her foot on the back of Niklaus’s hand, and slowly turned

her heel.

The man’s right hand trembled badly with intense pain, but he still did not choose to confess.

“Sorry. No chance will be given anymore.” Then, Cecilia reported to the police.

Before the police arrived, she picked up Devon, who had passed out, splashing a bottle of wine on his

back after opening

Devon woke up in pain and screamed miserably.

Cecilia opened another bottle of wine after the previous one was emptied. “Want to tell me now? If not,
