The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher)

Chapter 62



Chapter 62

The ancestral residence of the Zabel family was an ancient compound with two main courtyards, and

the six feet five inches’ walls were adorned with mumerous shards of glass to deter intruders.

Additionally, surveillance cameras were covering every blind spot.

Christopher hacked into the Zabel residence’s security system and disabled all the surveillance

cameras. Then, he made his way toward the only room with lights on.

The Zabel family was a scholar-gentry family. They maintained a disciplined daily routine and usually

rested by ten in the evening except for special circumstances.

Therefore, the lit room had to belong to Kenton.

Ever since coming back from the KTV, Kenton had been restless and couldn’t fall asleep.

He turned the light on and started oil painting in an attempt to calm himself down.

But it was all in vain.

When Christopher entered Kenton’s room, the latter was crumpling another failed plum blossom

painting and tossing it to the ground.

And there were paper balls everywhere in the room, which showed his agitation.

Even if someone had entered the room, he remained oblivious.

Seeing that Kenton was resuming the painting again, an icy chill solidified in the depths of

Christopher’s eyes.

“Have you done something unscrupulous that’s disturbing your peace of mind?”

The sudden sound startled Kenton so much that he almost

jumped, causing him to drop the brush he was holding.

He quickly turned around and, upon seeing Christopher, his pupils trembled intensively.

After speaking, he instinctively tried to shout for help, but Christopher swiftly closed in and grabbed him

by the neck. “Who gave you the guts to hurt Cecilia?”

As Christopher spoke, his grip tightened.

Kenton was getting hard to breathe. He tried forcefully to pull Christopher’s hand away but to no avail.

His face turned from red to blue and his eyes bulged. The overwhelming fear of death encased him like

an enormous

web.

Seeing that Kenton was on the verge of collapse, Christopher finally released his hold.

Kenton collapsed on the ground and gasped greedily for the long-lost air. The constriction in his chest

eased as he caught his breath.

His rapid breaths caused him to cough violently. Tears streaming down his face as he choked.

It took him a while to regain his breath, but his throat was burning painfully.

He wiped the tears from his eyes and, clutching the table for support, slowly rose to his feet.

Halfway through, Christopher kicked Kenton on his knee.

With a mu**led thud, Kenton knelt on one knee and felt severe pain in his kneecap.

He couldn’t help but let out a painful cry and beads of sweat began to form on his forehead.

“Mr. Forte, if you lay another hand on me again, I’ll have to call

the police!”

Louchers.

Christopher took a step forward and stepped on Kenton’s right hand with his polished leather shoes.

“If you lose your right hand for painting, would you become useless?”

Hearing that, Kenton instinctively tried to pull his hand away.

But Christopher stepped on it harder. Not only Kenton couldn’t pull his hand away, but he also felt

excruciating pain. from his hand.

“Help…”

Just as he was about to call for help, his neck was once again. choked by Christopher again.

Christopher stared at Kenton, who was sweating profusely, and threatened, “If you don’t want the entire

Zabel family to

accompany you to the grave, you better behave.”

Kenton knew Christopher’s methods well and nodded repeatedly.

The sprawling Yancey family has already fallen in his hand. If he decided to deal with the Zabel family,

it would be like a walk in the park.

Christopher released his grip on Kenton’s throat, but the pressure from his foot increased.

“Did you use this hand to drug Ceci?”

Feeling the gradually increasing pressure on his hand, Kenton’s heart began to churn with waves of

fear and anxiety.

He had thought his actions were discreet, and he couldn’t believe he had been discovered so quickly.

However, he was confident that Christopher had no concrete evidence. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have

come here secretly but would have called the police directly.

With this in mind, he relaxed his tense nerves.

The pain in his fingers became more and more intense. causing his body to tremble.

Fearing Christopher’s threat, he clenched his teeth tightly, not daring to make a sound.

Soon, blood began to snake across the white floor.

Seeing that, Christopher eased the pressure on Kenton’s foot as if he were giving alms.

The back of Kenton’s hand was now a gruesome mess, with the flesh torn and reaching down to the

bone.

If a little more pressure had been applied, his hand would have been truly crip**ed.

Kenton held his injured hand and said tremblingly. “Mr. Forte.

didn’t understand what you said earlier.”

Christopher dragged a chair and sat down in front of Kenton He looked at him casually with his legs

crossed.

“You’re a smart man. You should know why I’ve come to find you.”

Kenton knew it perfectly, but he couldn’t admit it.

He put on a bewildered expression and said. “Mr. Forte, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“It seems like you really don’t care about your hand anymore.

With that, Christopher’s expression changed in an instant. Then, he dislocated Kenton’s wrist forcefully.

“Hold it in, don’t shout. I’ll give you one last chance. Will you talk or not?”

Kenton’s painful cries choked in his throat, making him feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Anguish filled his eyes as he looked at his limp right hand. However, he remained silent, refusing to say

a word.

Juliana had saved his life. Even if his hands were broken, he

couldn’t betray her.

Christopher hadn’t expected Kenton to be so stubborn. He scoffed coldly, “Since you don’t cherish this

opportunity, then you’ll have to face the consequences.”

With that, he placed Kenton’s right hand on the table and picked up a fountain pen holder, smashing it

down with force. The sound of broken bones was followed by the overwhelming surge of pain, causing

Kenton to lose consciousness in the blink of an eye.

When he woke up again, he was no longer in the Zabel residence.

Under the moonlight, with a relatively clear vision, he realized he had been abandoned in a filthy and

foul-smelling abandoned building.

The place was a gathering spot for beggars and drug addicts, filled with danger.

Kenton wanted to leave, but his body was weak.

It was as if a fire was burning inside him, causing extreme discomfort. In his mind, he involuntarily

pictured a woman’s face.

A groan escaped from his lips, and he instantly understood his current predicament.

He was drugged, and the effects were already taking hold. If he didn’t find a woman to relieve himself

soon, he might lose hist manhood.

But there were no women in the rundown building, only the stench of beggars.

He can’t be…

Driven to the brink of desperation, Kenton lost his rationality and crawled towards the nearest beggar.

He was about to pull off the beggar’s pants when he startled

The street sweeper hesitated to approach him directly, fearing a potential scam, so he first recorded a

video as evidence and posted it on social media to prove his innocence before finally calling the police.

Before the police arrived, the video had already gone viral

Because the video included the address, many people from the vicinity gathered around to watch, take

pictures, and record videos.

across the internet
