Chapter 104
The car stopped in front of the main building of Emerald Mansion.
Cecilia opened the door, got out of the car, and then opened the trunk.
Felix was already awake, struggling with all his might while whining.
Looking at him wrapped in a ball, Cecilia called the bodyguard. “Take him to the secret room.”
After hearing Cecilia’s voice, Felix struggled more intensely. He thought, “The secret room sounds like an ominous place. Will I be killed?”
Thinking of this, he tried to rip open the sheet in his mouth with his teeth and wanted to speak.
But the next second, he was being picked up by someone.
He almost peed himself out of fear due to the sudden weightlessness, and he didn’t dare to move.
Christopher waved to the bodyguard and said, “Take him downstairs and give him a quick taste of what’s coming.”
“Yes, Mr. Christopher Forte,” the bodyguard responded.
Felix’s brain went blank all of a sudden, and he was directly stunned. He thought, “Mr. Christopher Forte? Christopher! This man is Quilton’s Grim Reaper. Will I still survive after ending up in his hands?”
Soon, Felix was taken to the secret room.
Christopher looked at Cecilia and asked, “Do you want to watch the show now? Or do you want to ask him questions only after

Cecilia was not interested in torture, and her gaze swept through Christopher’s wound. “I’ll help you change your bandage first.”
Then she helped Christopher into the main building.

Christopher’s thigh was injured, so he had to take off his pants before changing the bandage. Thus, they went straight to the bedroom.
After one experience, Cecilia was not embarrassed.
The bandage change took only ten minutes this time, including undressing and getting dressed.
Seeing that she didn’t look sideways and concentrated on putting the medicine back into the medical kit, Christopher doubted his charm.
“Ceci, would you like to date me?”
He had been pursuing Cecilia, but he never made it clear.
After saying that, he held his breath nervously.
Cecilia paused her action of putting back the gauze into the medical kit, not knowing how to react at the moment.
She was caught off guard by the suddenness of his confession.
Seeing Cecilia saying nothing, Christopher knew he scared her.
He also felt that he was too hasty. He thought, “I should’ve prepared for surprises and romantics before confessing my love to her.”
Therefore, he changed the topic to ease the awkwardness. “Ceci, pretend that I didn’t say anything. Let’s go to the secret room.”
Cecilia nodded/ After putting the medicine kit back in place, she supported Christopher to take the elevator.
When they arrived in the living room on the first floor, she

relationships, I want to let nature take its course and wait for the right time. We can kiss, sleep together, and get married.”
She valued affection, not the superficial title of being a girlfriend or a fiancée.
Christopher understood what Cecilia meant.
She was willing to date him, do intimate things with him, and spend the rest of her life with him.
He was even more overjoyed at this answer than having Cecilia accept his confession.
He looked at Cecilia affectionately and said seriously, “Ceci, I’ll let nature take its course and spend the rest of my life with you.” Then, they went to the secret room inside the utility room.
Felix was a coward who was only strong on the outside.
When he felt that no one could capture him, he was arrogant and did many wrongdoings.
But now, the bodyguard didn’t even “serve” him much. Yet, he already confessed everything.
Of course, what he said was not the real situation, but a rhetoric discussed with Juliana before. He said, “Juliana and I have an employment relationship. She gives me money, and I help her. Every injustice has its perpetrator. You can find her.”
Looking at the text message Juliana sent him on Felix’s phone, Cecilia felt that things weren’t as simple.
Cecilia asked, “How many things have you done for Juliana? Make it clear one by one!”
Felix chose a few unimportant things to tell Cecilia.
There was no mention of setting Cecilia up at Yates Corporation’s karaoke lounge, or the car accident and

Cecilia looked at Felix coldly and sneered, “Do you think I’m easy to fool? If you don’t tell me the truth, you will suffer!” The moment she finished speaking, her fist landed on Felix’s temple.
She deviated her angle slightly. It would not kill Felix, but it would hurt him so much.
“Ah!” Felix’s eyes darkened, and there seemed to be an electric drill in his head, which made him feel worse than death.
The scream echoed back and forth in the narrow secret room, making Cecilia’s ears hurt.
Christopher gave the bodyguard a look.
The bodyguard knew what Christopher meant and immediately stepped forward to choke Felix’s neck, allowing Felix to breathe barely but couldn’t make a sound.
Felix was shrouded in the shadow of death and couldn’t help trembling. The next second, he wet his pants.
The foul smell made Cecilia frown, and she ordered the bodyguard, “Rinse him.”
With that, she helped Christopher out of the secret room.
As for what she meant by rinsing Felix, it wasn’t to give him a shower but to use a high-pressure water gun to flush him.
Felix was hit by a strong water gun and rolled several times on the bl**dy ground before stopping against the wall.
He wanted to beg for mercy, but a lot of water was poured into his nose and mouth, which almost choked him until he suffocated.
After a long time, the torture finally ended.
He lay on the ground like a pool of mud, coughing violently,
and his face turned red
Cecilia stepped on the wet ground and slowly walked toward Felix.
Every step she took was like stepping on Felix’s heart, which made him nervous and difficult to breathe.
A pair of white shoes stopped in front of him.
Cecilia looked down at him condescendingly and said, “If you don’t want to feel the same pain that was worse than death like just now, just tell me the truth honestly. I’m an impatient person.”
The cold warning pierced into Felix’s ear and made him feel chilly all over. He knew that if he didn’t tell her some real stuff, he would definitely die here today.
“Okay, I’ll tell you.” Without the slightest bit of hesitation, he said a lot without holding anything back.
Not only the setup at the karaoke lounge, the car accident, and the assassination yesterday morning, but also Cecilia’s kidnapping.
And how Juliana set up Kenton, using the favor of saving his life to make him do things for her.
Cecilia asked, “Is there any evidence of what you said?”
Felix said too much, and his throat hurt a little. After clearing his throat, he shook his head and said, “No. The evidence will be bad for me. I haven’t kept it.”
Christopher raised Felix’s chin with his toes, and his gaze was sharp. “If you lie, this same date next year will be your death anniversary.”
With a pale face, Felix shook his head vigorously. “I really have no evidence. Mr. Christopher Forte, if you don’t believe me, you can kill me.”

Seeing that Felix didn’t seem to be lying, Christopher withdrew his foot. “Tell me about Juliana’s kidnapping case.”
Felix wanted to lie subconsciously, so Christopher added, “As long as I send you into the police station and let those three see that you are arrested, they will definitely cover you up.”
Hearing this, Felix didn’t dare to take a risk anymore. “I
conspired with Juliana to frame Cecilia and extort money from the Yancey family.”
Cecilia asked in surprise, “Since you are partners, why would she be bullied by the gangsters?”
“Because I was greedy for money and wanted to take the 200 million dollars, and the way to make Juliana shut up was to ruin her and record a video. But unexpectedly, she was
photographed by the journalist, and the police also took away the video.”
What he said was highly convincing. After all, after Felix got the money, he ran to Dark Rose and squandered it.
But Cecilia felt that Juliana and the man in front of her were more than just an employment relationship.
“Why does Juliana trust you so much? What is the relationship between you and her?”

Chapter 105
Cecília knew Juliana well. She thought that with the latter’s paranoid and cautious temper, it was impossible for her to trust a stranger, let the person participate in everything, and know all
her secrets.
Felix met Cecilia’s eyes, which seemed to see through
everything, and avoided them guiltily. Probably because Juliana doesn’t have a reliable man by her side, and I’m a well-behaved man who never talks nonsense.”
“You are an accomplice. Of course, you won’t talk nonsense. However, you are definitely not a well-behaved man. Otherwise, you would not have blackmailed Juliana.”
Cecilia almost forgot about the news from William.
If the blackmailer were the blond-haired man before her, with Juliana’s temperament, Juliana would have ended him.
That was why she said Juliana and he were definitely not in an employment relationship.
It was true that Felix often asked Juliana for money. He thought it was well-hidden and would not be known by others.
Little did he expect, he had no secrets in front of Cecilia.
However, he could not tell the truth.
He had to hide his sibling relationship with Juliana, or else the truth about the switching of the daughter of the Yancey family would be exposed.
If that happened, it would be difficult for him to stay alive, let alone get money from the Yancey family.

Cecilia saw the determination in Felix’s eyes and knew it was useless to press on.
“What’s your name? How did you get in touch with Juliana?” she asked.
Felix knew his real name would soon be uncovered, so he told the truth.
“I’m Felix Quigley, an idle gangster.”
After he said that, he randomly made up how he had gotten in touch with Juliana.
Cecilia and Christopher naturally did not believe it.
“Whether what you said is true, we will have a conclusion soon.”
They left the secret room and immediately investigated Felix.
Then, they found that Felix had come to Quilton five years ago. He was a poor dude who did not even attend college and had been a boomerang child back then.
In the past five years since he came to Quilton, he had spent so much money like a rich kid.
Obviously, the money was given to him by Juliana.
Cecilia rubbed her dry eyes and told Christopher, who was still investigating Felix. “Juliana seems to have known Felix for a long time and trusted him very much.”
She had only seen such trust from the Shaw family and her
teammates.
Christopher tapped on the keyboard and said without raising his head, “Felix’s transaction record is abnormal. He could spend a few million dollars a year. There was no way he could earn such an amount of money by doing dirty work.”
In other words, the money Juliana gave Felix had exceeded his

Even if Juliana had been threatened and blackmailed, it would be impossible for her to give him such a hefty sum.
Cecilia came to Christopher’s side and looked at his computer screen. “So Juliana and Felix are definitely not in an employment relationship.”
Christopher stopped typing. “I have a suspicion that Felix and Juliana are siblings.”
“Siblings? That’s impossible. Don’t forget Felix asked someone to destroy Juliana and even recorded a video.”
“Well, some people can do anything for money.”
For example, the people of the Forte family could murder someone for their power and status.
Cecilia did not want to speculate anymore. “Do a DNA test for them. Then, we will know what their relationship is.”
“Okay. I’ll arrange it right away. We can get the results tonight.” When Christopher assigned the task to Solomon, Cecilia used Felix’s phone to call Juliana.
However, Juliana’s phone was turned off.
Then, she called the nurse’s number, which Juliana had used to send her a message before.
The phone was answered quickly. “Hello, who is this?”
“I’m looking for Juliana. She sent me a message on your phone before.”
“Oh, all right. Please wait a moment.”
The nurse soon passed the phone to Juliana.
Juliana thought it was Felix and growled, “Didn’t I warn you not to contact me for the time being?”
Although her tone was unpleasant, she actually breathed a sigh

She hadn’t been able to reach Felix before and thought Cecilia or Christopher had found him, which worried her.
That was why when Cecilia’s voice came from the other end of the line, she did not come back to her senses for a long time. “Juliana, it’s me, not Felix.”
Those words were simple and clear, but they seemed to be garbled in Juliana’s ears. She couldn’t understand a single one of them.
When she finally came to her senses, she hung up the phone nervously.
She buried her head in the hospital blanket and bellowed inwardly, “That idiot, Felix, was caught! With his temperament, he can’t bear any hardship and will expose anything!”
When she thought of that, Juliana was flustered.
“Oh, dear. What should I do? Somebody, help me.”
While she muttered to herself, the nurse’s phone rang again. It was still from Felix’s number.
Juliana hesitated for a while and decided to answer it.
No matter what, she had to figure out how much Cecilia knew before she could think of a countermeasure.
“Cecilia, what exactly do you want? I’ll do whatever I can.”
When she heard Juliana’s frustrated voice, Cecilia sneered, “I want you to lose your reputation and put you in jail. Can you do that for me?”
“No way! Don’t you even think about it!”
“Oh? You should know the situation very well now. Felix knows all your dirty things. Even if he doesn’t leave any evidence ·
behind, the police can still find it. Isn’t it so?”

However, she was not only injured now but also the “poor girl” everyone had their attention on. She did not have much money with her and could not leave.
The only way to save herself was to end Felix to shut him up.
Without any witnesses, she could put the blame on Felix even if the police found evidence.
She tried to calm herself down before she replied, “Just get the police to find evidence then. I’m looking forward to it.”
With that, she hung up the phone.
Then, she contacted Felix’s father, Bernard Quigley, on the nurse’s phone.
“Something happened to Felix. Either Christopher or Cecilia captured him. Please make a report of him missing immediately.”
She thought Felix might be rescued if the police intervened.
As long as Felix was not in Christopher’s hands, dealing with Felix would be much easier.
Bernard looked at the unfamiliar number and thought he had encountered a fraud. “Scammer! You’d better practice your scamming skills more before you try to deceive me.”
He hung up the phone directly after that.
Because Juliana’s voice was h**rse, which was quite different from usual, Bernard did not realize it was her.
She was so angry that she almost smashed the phone. She bit back her anger and called Bernard again.
The phone was connected but soon ended.
She tried to call again but found that he had blocked her
number.
