The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher)

Chapter 60

Technically, after the suspects were detained, they could not meet with the victims.

However, the police had done Christopher a favor and agreed to let them meet with their lawyers

present.

However, it was a little late now. Cecilia couldn’t find a lawyer on this short notice.

Just when she decided to see Devon the next day, Christopher said, “I’m a lawyer.”

Although he didn’t take his lawyer’s ID card with him, the police could check it.

Not long after, Cecilia and Christopher met Devon in the infirmary of the police station.

Devon was lying on the narrow hospital bed with a pale face. His body under the thin blanket was

wrapped in bandages.

Although he was not seriously injured, his back had been stabbed by the glass bottle shards pretty

badly. It would take at least a week for him to recuperate.

Devon only knew that Cecilia would come to see him, but he didn’t know Christopher would go with her

as well.

When Devon suddenly saw the man he feared, he was so scared that he fell off the hospital bed. His

wound that had just been bandaged burst open and the bandages were dyed red.

In a trembling voice, he cried, “This is the police station. You can’t kill me!”

As Christopher looked at Devon coldly, his thin lips curled into

a sneer.

“Don’t worry. I won’t kill you.”

Just as Devon’s heart relaxed, he heard Christopher add, “I will

make your life a living hell.”

He calmly stated these words without any anger in his tone or expression.

Scared witless, Devon screamed, “Someone, help!”

His lawyer mustered the courage and said, “Mr. Forte, this is the police station. Please be careful what

you say. Even suspects also have their rights.”

Christopher looked at the lawyer of Langdon Corporation and said in a cold tone, “What can you do if I

don’t care?”

Of course, the lawyer didn’t dare to do anything. He was also extremely scared.

The lawyer was afraid that Christopher would involve him when the latter retaliated.

As a result, he was already considering leaving the Langdon Corporation.

Cecilia felt a headache caused by Devon’s screaming and scolded, “Shut up. We’ll leave as soon as

we ask you some questions.”

Devon’s words were like a soothing agent, calming Devon down from his state of panic.

“Go ahead. Ask me. I’ll tell you anything.”

He bitterly regretted his actions. As they had said, it was dangerous to be blinded by beauty. He

now.

If he didn’t mess with Cecilia, it wouldn’t be like this.

Cecilia couldn’t be bothered about Devon’s regret and said, “You should have guessed that you were

set up.”

After Devon knew that someone had accused him of drugging Cecilia and arranged for someone to

sleep with her, he knew he was being used.

But he couldn’t figure out who it was to prove his innocence.

Hearing what Cecilia said, Devon almost cried with joy.

“Cecília, trust me. I only asked Niklaus to take you to the private room and teach you a lesson. I have

nothing to do with the other things.

“Then tell us more about the process from when you left the private room to when you saw Niklaus.”

Devon calmed herself down and recounted the details.

carefully,

“That time, I left the private room, feeling angry. I was so angry that I cursed Cecilia after I was sent to

the infirmary by a server. Then I heard someone talking. A man said the best way to make a woman

obedient was to sleep with her until she submitted. When I exited the infirmary, I met Niklaus, and you

know the rest.”

After saying that, Devon suddenly realized something. “Oh! I know now! The man who spoke

deliberately misled me!”

“Who’s the man?”

“I don’t know. The infirmary’s door was closed then, and I only heard what he said but did not see his

face.”

Christopher, who had been silent all the time, said, “We can check the surveillance video.”

When Devon subconsciously wanted to agree to his suggestion, Christopher added, “But, the man

came prepared. I don’t think we can find anything.”

After saying that, he looked at Devon and declared, “After tomorrow, the Langdon Corporation will fall.

There will be no place for you, the Langdon family, to belong in Quilton!”

Then he pulled Cecilia and walked away.

Devon stared at their retreating backs blankly and couldn’t think.

After a while, he broke down, and his crying could be heard

from the infirmary.

Meanwhile, Cecilia and Christopher didn’t leave the police station but went to see Niklaus again.

However, they couldn’t get anything out of him.

Even if Christopher threatened him, Niklaus just used professional etiquette as an excuse and drove

them away.

“Since you don’t want to cooperate, enjoy your life in prison.”

After saying that, Christopher and Cecilia left the police station.

It was already early in the morning, and the heat from summer had completely disappeared.

As the night breeze blew on bare skin, it felt slightly cool.

Instead of getting into Christopher’s car immediately, Cecilia leaned against the door and took out her

phone to make a call.

She called Juliana.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered it until it hung up automatically.

However, she knew that Juliana was still awake and was still waiting for the news from the police

station.

When Christopher saw Cecilia ready to continue calling, he stopped her. “I’ll do it.”

So, Christopher dialed Juliana’s number after doing something on his phone.

To Juliana, it was not Christopher but Kenton who called her.

Looking at the caller ID on her phone screen, her heart ski**ed a beat, but she didn’t answer.

She thought, “Why is Kenton calling me at this time? Something is wrong. Did Cecilia find out about

Kenton and get him arrested? Otherwise, they wouldn’t have called me one after the other!”.

At that thought, Juliana turned off her phone directly. Since Christopher couldn’t call Juliana as well, he

looked at Cecilia and asked for her opinion, “What do you think about getting Kenton arrested and

interrogating him?”

Cecilia got up and opened the car door. “Let’s go directly to the hospital and find Juliana.”

Cecilia thought, “Trying to avoid me? No way in hell!”

Christopher got in the car and ordered the driver, “Go to Central Hospital.”

“Yes, Mr. Christopher Forte.”

Few/vehicles were on the street, but sideways were brightly lit, and pedestrians came and went on both

sides.

Barbeque stalls were everywhere, serving tourists from all over the world.

After all that work the whole night, Cecilia was tired and hungry, and her stomach rumbled.

Christopher smiled and said to the driver, “Find a place nearby. to stop.”

Cecilia looked at Christopher and asked in surprise, “Do you want to eat from a street food vendor?”

She couldn’t imagine Quilton’s richest man in a suit sitting on a plastic stool by the roadside, drinking

beer and having barbeque.

“I remembered you craved some barbeque last time, so we should try it since we’re here.”

Cecilia didn’t expect Christopher would want to eat from a street food vendor because of her.

She looked at the gown she was wearing and refused, “Forget it. Next time.”

“My gown is too eye-catching. If I had my barbeque in this, I would undoubtedly be stared at,” she

reasoned inwardly.

Christopher noticed Cecilia’s concern and said, “Let the driver buy it for us later. We can eat in the car.”

Cecilia was a little hungry, so she nodded.

The car stopped not far away, and the driver bought some barbeque.

While waiting, Christopher checked the surveillance cameras near Yates Corporation’s karaoke

lounge’s infirmary. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

As he had guessed, the man who manipulated Devon had worn a cap and deliberately avoided the

surveillance cameras.

Therefore, he decided to target Kenton.

He thought, “No matter if he is the one hurting C
