Chapter 61
The inpatient department of the hospital was accessible at any time, but the management on the VIP
floor was strict, and not everyone could enter.
Fortunately, Forte Group held the shares in Central Hospital, allowing Christopher to come and go
freely.
Originally, Cecília had planned to visit Juliana herself, but she changed her mind when she thought
about Juliana’s affection toward Christopher.
In the ward, Juliana’s heart suddenly tightened when she heard the sound of high heels clicking on the
floor.
She had an intuition that it was Cecilia.
As expected, the ward door was pushed open, and Cecilia, dressed in a gown, walked in.
When Cecilia had called her earlier, she had already guessed that her plan had failed.
After seeing it with her own eyes, the trace of hope left in her heart disappeared.
How could the despicable woman’s luck be so good? It seemed like she could turn misfortune into luck
every time!
Just as Juliana showed her ferocious expression, she saw a tall, handsome man following Cecilia.
She recognized Christopher at a glance, and her heart ski**ed a beat.
Unexpectedly, Christopher was more charming in person than in the photos-like a walking radiance,
captivating all her attention.
Upon seeing that Juliana’s eyes were glued to Christopher, Cecilia sneered.

Have you seen eno
Her taunting tone snapped Julian out of her thoughts.
She immediately withdrew her gaze and blushed, putting on a
timid appearance.
Hello, Mr. Forte. How are you?’
Her voice was sweet and cared an indescribable charm, enough to make an ordinary man’s legs go
weak.
However, Christopher was not an ordinary person.
He despised pretentious women the most. When she heard Juliana’s words, his fists clenched
involuntarily.
I’m fine, but you will be in trouble soon.”
His voice was icy, carrying an undeniable hint of killing intention, which made the temperature in the
ward drop sharply.
The blush on Juliana’s face faded, and her face turned nearly translucent in its sickness.
Her hand, hidden under the blanket, clenched into a fist so hard that her nails dug into her palm,
reminding her to stay calm.
“What do you mean by that, Mr. Forte?”
Even if she tried to maintain her composure, her voice still trembled slightly.
Christopher had no intention of saying a word to Juliana. He looked at Cecilia and signaled for her to
speak.
Approaching the bedside, Cecilia looked down at Juliana, who pretended to look sad.
“What I mean is, don’t think that what you’ve done is hidden or that someone will take the blame for
you, and you will be fine! Juliana, I will gradually peel away your facade and reveal to everyone how
evil you truly are.
Upon hearing that, juliana suddenly lifted her head, appearing calm.
“All right, I’m looking forward to it. Because I have a clear conscience”
At that point, her reputation had been largely restored, and the people who worked for her wouldn’t
betray her. She had nothing to fear.
As for winning Christopher over, there was plenty of time for that.
Cecilia knew that Juliana would not accept defeat until the end of her rope. So, threats wouldn’t work
on her.
She raised her hand and slapped Juliana in her face. “You better pray that Kenton is willing to sacrifice
everything for you.”
The slap left a fiery pain on Juliana’s face.
She subconsciously covered her face, and her mind was filled with Cecilia’s words.
She had felt something was off when she received Kenton’s call earlier. Right then, she was even more
anxious.
However, she quickly regained her composure.
Kenton was cautious and wouldn’t leave any evidence behind. Even if Cecilia doubted it, she wouldn’t
be able to show
evidence!
Even if he were arrested and interrogated, he knew that denying everything would be in his best
interest.
At that thought, Juliana’s initial panic subsided. She looked up at Cecilia with a serene gaze, her eyes
brimming with emotion. “Cecilia, I owe you. No matter how you treat me, it’s what I deserve. But you
can’t falsely accuse me.” As she spoke, she deliberately turned her red and swollen face toward
Christopher.
“Whether it’s slander or not, you know it well in your heart.

The True Lady Strikes Back
Juliana, let’s see what happens next.
After saying that, Cecilia suddenly held Juliana’s slit wrist and exerted some strength.
Despite feeling the stickiness in her palm, she didn’t let go.
Looking at Juliana, who was trembling, she smugly said, “Juliana, remember the pain right now. It’s just
the beginning. I will make you pay for everything you’ve done to me.”
After uttering those words, Cecilia bent down closer to Juliana, adding another remark. “Double the
medicine, four different men, each with a different contagious disease. Just wait and
see.”
Juliana tried to hold back the pain in her wrist and looked up at Cecilia with hatred in her eyes.
“Don’t try to scare me. I’m not having this!”
“I’m not scaring you, but I’m giving you a warning.”
After saying that, Cecilia let go of Juliana’s wrist.
Her fair palm was stained with red, emitting a strong smell of blood.
She deliberately used Juliana’s face as a hand towel, smearing blood all over it, then patted her
shoulder.
“Take good care of yourself and continue to draw blood next month.”
Cecilia turned around and left.
Christopher didn’t follow her immediately. Instead, he looked at Juliana, who looked miserable, with
eyes colder than a
winter storm.
“You should thank Ceci. If she didn’t want to play with you slowly, you’d be dead by now.”
Juliana was filled with hatred in her heart, but on the surface, she looked pitiful.
“Mr. Forte, Ceci misunderstood me. I didn’t do anything to hurt her, nor
Christopher interrupted Juliana impatiently. Put away your tricks and dirty thoughts. A woman like you
doesn’t even deserve to carry Ceci’s shoes.
After insulting Juliana, he quickly caught up with Cecilia and held her wrist
“Go wash up-it’s dirty.”
Cecilia still had traces of Juliana’s blood on her hand.
She responded and went to the bathroom.
When she came out of the bathroom, she saw doctors and nurses rushing into Juliana’s ward.
Christopher said, “You created an opportunity for Juliana to play the trick.”
“It has nothing to do with me whether she acts or not. My purpose is just to make her suffer and hate
me.”
The more Juliana hated her, the more likely she would lose control and make mistakes.
She didn’t care at all if the people from the Yancey family would hate her even more.
Christopher and Cecilia stood side by side in the elevator. Looking at her inscrutable expression, he
said, “You can’t just threaten Juliana. You have to do something practical.”
“I know. When she gets discharged from the hospital, I will prepare a surprise for her.”
“Do you need my help?”
“No, I can do it myself.”
After getting out of the hospital, Cecilia told Christopher, “It’s late. You don’t need to accompany me. I’ll
take a taxi back.” Christopher still had other matters to attend to and nodded in
agreement. “All right. After you get back to the apartment, just let me know you’re safe.”
“Okay. Be careful on your way.”
Christopher didn’t get in his car until Cecilia had gotten in the taxi and left.
Instead of asking the driver to drive back to Emerald Mansion. immediately, he began investigating
Kenton’s whereabouts.
Kenton came from a scholarly and aristocratic family, known for his clean and low-profile lifestyle. He
rarely indulged in extravagance.
He was the kind of person who seldom went out except necessary socializing.

went straight to the Zabel residence.
Christopher tracked down the address of the Zabel residence and instructed the driver to head there.
The Zabel residence was located on the outskirts of the city center and had an independent ancestral
courtyard.
It wasn’t too far from the Central Hospital; it was about a 20-minute drive.
Christopher had the driver stop in a concealed spot, and he scaled the wall to enter the Zabel
residence.
