Chapter 58
Christopher listened to Cecilia’s vigilance and said with a smile, “KTV belongs to the Yates family, and I
am with Calvin.”
What he didn’t say was that he had asked Calvin to have the staff keep a closer eye on Yvette.
Calvin knew that Christopher wanted to pay attention to Cecilia, so he ordered the employees to keep
an eye on her.
Not as surveillance, but out of concern in case something happened if Yvette and Cecilia drank too
much.
Unexpectedly, their worries turned out to be true, and Cecilia did get into trouble.
Seeing that Christopher was not monitoring her intentionally, Cecilia regained her tone. “Thank you.
Have you found any clues on your end?”
“I’ll be there soon, and I’ll explain everything in detail.
Christopher was a step ahead of the police, using the employee passageway to avoid alerting anyone.
The staff member who had been airing out Cecilia’s room didn’t dare to stay for a long time and had left
long ago.
The sixth floor was the VIP floor, and there was no one.
Christopher arrived at room 601 and knocked on the door. When Cecilia opened the door, she glanced
down the corridor. Not seeing the waitress, she presumed that the former had already gone to the small
park across from the KTV.
She turned back to her room, grabbed two bottles of cold. water, and handed one to Christopher.
They both sat down on the couch.
Christopher unscrewed the cap of his bottle and handed Cecilia his water, taking hers in return.
The Truc
We Sinker Back
Cecilia looked at the handsome and attentive man before her, her heart ski**ed a beat.
She took a sip of water and asked, “Chris, have you found the person behind this?”
“It’s still in the process of investigating. It’s not a complex matter, so we should have some leads soon.
What have you found out on your end?”
Cecilia briefly recounted the information she had gathered and shared it with Christopher.
Afterward, she realized that she had an inexplicable trust in the man before her.
“Is it because they had both served in the Peacekeeping Forces? Am I considering him as a
trustworthy teammate?” she
thought.
Christopher’s face remained calm after he heard her words, but a storm raged within him.
His hand, resting on his leg, clenched into a fist, the joints making cracking sounds from the pressure.
Cecilia didn’t expect him to be angrier than herself and said, “Once we catch the person behind this, I’ll
make them pay.”
“Apart from Juliana, who else can be behind the scenes?”
Even if there was no evidence, he wouldn’t spare that despicable woman.
Cecilia couldn’t think of anyone else either.
Nonetheless, what she wanted was not just to kill Juliana, but to let everyone see her true face and
expose those who were secretly assisting her.
Feeling Christopher’s murderous aura, she placed her hand on the back of his hand. “Don’t touch
Juliana. I want to deal with. her.
“I can spare her life, but she must be taught a lesson!”

It was Christopher’s biggest compromise.
It was the first time Cecilia had seen him so angry. She couldn’t help but smile, her mouth curving
unconsciously. “There’s no need to be so angry. I’m fine.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Christopher held her in his
arms.
“You’re not omnipotent, and there are situations even you can’t resolve. What if something unexpected
happens?”
Everyone could make mistakes.
Even if there was just a one-in-a-million chance, he wanted to eliminate that possibility.
He was a little scared now, thinking, “What if the man didn’t give Cecilia any medicine but poison?”
Feeling tightly held in his arms, Cecilia struggled to breathe.
She caught a faint whiff of cedarwood from him, and her heartbeat suddenly quickened.
Everyone likes the feeling of being cherished, and she was no exception.
“Christopher, you’re hurting me.”
Her soft voice reached his ears, and Christopher immediately released Cecilia.
His eyes met with Cecilia’s smiling eyes, and he gently pinched her nose.
“Consider this a lesson, and be more cautious in the future.”
“I will.”
After Cecilia agreed, she brought up Devon again. “I think it’s a little weird for Devon to find those thugs
to block me.”
Based on Devon’s words, it seemed like he was about to leave when he met Niklaus unexpectedly and
then came out with the evil intention.

The True Lady Strikes Back
It might sounded fine, but that was too coincidental.
Christopher didn’t like to speculate, so he said, “Once we catch the culprits, we can go to the police
station and find out.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the room door. The police had arrived.
Cecilia opened the door and asked, “Have you caught the fake waitress?”
“We’ve apprehended her. She’s already been taken to the police station. What about the other two
accomplices?”
“They’re in the bedroom. I knocked them unconscious.”
The police entered the bedroom and brought out the two men. Looking at Cecilia, they said, “This is a
serious matter. Ms. Yancey, we need you to come to the police station to give a statement.”
One of the police was the same one who had come to arrest Devon earlier. That time, Cecilia had said
that she had
something to attend to, so she hadn’t gone to the police station to make a statement.
“Now those things should be resolved, right?” she thought.
Cecilia shook her head. “I still have something to deal with. Give me another hour and I’ll go to the
police station myself.” The policeman was speechless and asked uncertainly, “Is there going to be
another incident?”
He wanted to ask Cecilia more. “How many people have you offended?”
“Not necessarily. I’ll call the police if needed.” After saying that, Cecilia grabbed her handbag and left
with Christopher.
They entered a private room.
It was already eleven o’clock, but the atmosphere in the private room was still lively.
However, with Christopher’s arrival, the merriment came to au

abrupt halt.
Yvette immediately turned off all the music and turned on the lights in the private room.
The sudden bright light made everyone shield their eyes and instinctively tense up. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
After everyone got used to the light, Cecilia pointed out a few people and said, “You can leave.”
Those were the people who had either been sitting next to her or hadn’t gone near the fruit wine. They
could be ruled out as suspects.
Seeing their confused faces, Yvette said, “Hurry up and go. We can meet up another time.”
After they left, the rest of them were left with puzzlement, but no one dared to ask.
Cecilia looked at Yvette and said, “Identify the people you’re sure didn’t tamper with the drinks.”
Cecilia’s statement left everyone in the room shocked.
“Tampered with the drinks? What does she mean?” they wondered.
Although Yvette seemed careless, she was very sharp.
She didn’t choose people based on their closeness to her but based on the actual situation, picking out
five people. “You can go too.”
The remaining seven people had unpleasant expressions.
Someone asked, “Ms. Yates, what do you mean? Do you suspect us of drugging Ms. Yancey?”
Yvette explained, “I don’t suspect any of you. I’m just ruling out those who couldn’t have done it.”
“Why is it impossible for them, but possible for us?”
“That’s right. We have no grievance against Ms. Yancey. It is
Tow Lady Strikes Back
impossible to drug her!”
“What about the waiters? They can enter the private room too. Why aren’t you considering them?”
Seeing everyone getting emotional, Cecilia said, “If you don’t want to discuss this here, you’re welcome
to go to the police station.”
After speaking, she walked back to her previous spot and picked up her empty glass.
“There are traces of drugs in the glasses. I could easily call the police to investigate this matter.”
After she finished that sentence, the noisy atmosphere immediately came to a halt.
Nobody wanted to go to the police station as it would become a scandal if the press caught wind of it.
Yvette breathed a sigh of relief and asked Cecilia, “Ceci, how do you want to proceed?”
